RE #67/Blovis:

[...] Christians make up over 90% of the US population, so given a random distribution of criminality, most criminals would turn out to be christians. The proper approach would be to look for those deviations from random distribution. [...]

Blo – stop ratiocinating. It’s a solid fact that there are no Swiss, Icelanders or Slovenians amongst international terros, and when there will be, they will be Swiss, Icelanders or Slovenians exactly like Ibrahim is/was a Kalevala Finn (and since here, Finns are the kindest, most paceful & positive lot I ever met – Gus Hall aside).

This discussion reminds me Spike Lee, this great mind, who serenely argued that because there are more whites than blacks in the US jails (and this is true) this situation shows tha whites have stronger criminal predispositions than blacks (false) -

All what’s missing in the terms of this discussion are some ideas generated by Kochevnik and late Hysterical (dba Alice Nolin) –

The following readings will help you guys: Francois Rabelais “Gargantua Amongst Learned Men”, Jonathan Swift “Laputa”, Eugene Ionescu “Chanteuse Chauve” -
