This is a fun thread !

Just an aside: whatever you want to be, do not be a freedom-loving West Australian living in Port Hedland, WA, Aust..

You will die of heatstroke or thirst from the drought.

Give me air-conditioning, give me rain, or give me death !

P.S. This is what I remind myself every time I get pissed off at the eternal drizzle where I live now.

Thumbs down

I like how only the atheists will need to answer to this guy's god... not the buddhists, jews, or muslims. Just pick a religion, and his god is happy.

In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan.
When this spam was on the Snopes board, this particular assertion troubled me. I checked it out, and it's just plain wrong.

According to the CIA World Factbook, Afghanistan has roughly 27 million inhabitants (give or take a few thousand refugees), 99% of whom are Muslim.

The USA has 10 times as many people. Religion is listed as 4% "other". Even if all 4% were Muslim, that's still only 10 million.
