It's not a problem except that you can't seem to understand that if a Missourian commits a crime, that is not a condemnation of all Missourians.

Inappropriate analogy. Here's a better one....

Imagine a series of letter bombs are found or go off 25 cities nationwide. All of the bombs have post marks originating from Missouri.

Where should you start looking for the bomber?

This is a non-sequitur.
Looking for the individual(s) responsible in a place where you have reason to believe they may be found is a totally different thing than assigning guilt to everyone whom meets some similarity to the letter-bomber, in this case all Missourians.

Actually it's totally sequitur.

The bad actors have a motive for their bad actions. That motivation is responsible for their bad actions. The motivation is always the same, and always comes from the same ideology. So it's totally sequitur to look for the harmful motivation in a place where I have reason to believe that it may be found. That is....within the ideology that motivated the bad actions.

You haven't addressed my answer to your question.

Looking for bad people where bad things are happening is fine.
Assigning guilt to everyone whom has some characteristic in common with the bad people is where you've gone fully 'tarded.

Noting that not everyone whom follows that ideology is a bad person is all you need to realize that there is not a 1:1 correlation between the ideology and the problems caused by some people whom hold that ideology.


For all you like to criticize me as a scientist, you seem to lack understanding of the fundamental premise of science: When ANY evidence shows a contradiction to the thesis, we discard that thesis and revise.

You know, this is really pathetic. I know you don't believe any of this. I know you're just trying to put me down and argue with me. You're doing a miserable job.

"some characteristic in common". Do you know how dumb you sound when you say this? The common characteristic that they ALL share is a POSITIVELY MURDEROUS IDEOLOGY. That's way different than saying "they all hate ham". Get a god damn clue man.

Noting that not everyone whom follows that ideology is a bad person is all you need to realize that there is not a 1:1 correlation between the ideology and the problems caused by some people whom hold that ideology.

Why is that 1:1 correlation meaningful to you? Why is that the be-all, end-all border of right and wrong?

This isn't a one of your roody poo chemistry set projects. This is actual life and death. And I don't need 100% corroborating evidence to conclude that an entire group of people is fucking toxic.

I mean, think logically for two god damn seconds man. Let's test out your "fundamental premise of science" and see if it holds up in this situation....

It is a fact that there were members of German battalions who conscientiously objected to killing Jews. That means that there is less than 100% corroborating evidence to conclude that "All Nazis want to kill Jews".

If you're a Jewish person in 1930's Poland and you hear that the Nazi's are coming to town.....are you worried?

Yet another thing that you are perfectly incorrect about, but too wrapped up in your own ego to see.

I don't think you've ever heard of the Old Testament. So much violence and genocides in there. Christian fundamentalists (did you forget about them?) hold on to it like smeagol to his precious.

Fundamentalism is wrong, doesn't matter the religion.

Kind of like an innocent black man in NYC when he sees cops

He's done nothing wrong, yet he's worried as fuck
