Radical Islam is a plague, a memetic infection of their culture, and not the first we have seen (i.e, Nazzies, PolPot, etc.). The 3 basic methods of containing a plaque is: Inoculation. -prevent radicalization and recruitment. Quarantine. -wall them off, destroy their revenue stream, let 'em starve out. Sterilization. -fire and lots of it. IT'S THAT SIMPLE

Religion is one of many sorts of memetic parasite. At best it is a beneficial symbiont, giving comfort and stability in a fearsome world. At worst it is a virulent contagious pathogen, giving madness. We are dealing with the latter.

Boinks posted:Religion was beneficial, like the appendix was, but now it doesn't do anything and sometimes bursts and kills people. Good analogy. Hopefully we will evolve out of it. Some day religion might be outlawed in the same way as narcotics are now. Ref. Alfred Bester, The Stars my Destination, a scifi masterpiece ahead of its time. He writes of "religion-birds" and "disease-junkies" in a world with neither.

Hatebag posted:It's a bad plan because unless the bounty price is less than the cost to smuggle in or procure guns you're creating a revenue stream for bad dudes. If the bounty is that low no one would take the risk associated with claiming the bounty. That's a budgeting question and secondary. The overall cost to the society of these attacks are so high you could make it a cool mill a gun and still be in the black overall. There's gotta be a way to make this work without making France a gun magnet. A similar theory: Someone once computed that it would be far cheaper for 'Murka to buy the entire South American cocaine crop at the source and burn it than to prosecute the War on Drugs.

Hatebag posted:The market value of oil would go way up and then less commerce would be able to happen on a global scale. Doesn't matter how much oil US/Canada produce. It's what happened in the 70's. I don't think it'd be the worst thing but the world is run by rich people and as a rule the rich do not do things that make them less rich, so the Saudi's should be comfortable.

Oil, or its perceived scarcity,is the fuel for radical Islam. Oil is not scarce. It is primordial, being the product of bacterial digestion of methane diffusing out of the bulk Earth since Day Zero, 4485 million years ago. Oil is found everywhere there are geological features to trap it from diffusing out. Wanna stop Islam? Drill,drill,drill. Frack till you're fracker's sore. Cut their veins by making oil as cheap as water. Kill the beast by taking away its food and starving it out. and once again I can run a 440 c.i. V8, at 38 cents a gallon for good 'Murkan gazzoline. ... Fast big iron is the main thing that makes life in America tolerable.

wilfredmerriweathr posted:yeah uh, im not so sure that's how earth got its molten core To digress from the thread, a world called Theia formed in Earth's leading Trojan point. It was Mars-sized. It collided due to orbital instability as a slowish (~1500 mph) glancing blow. Its iron core merged with Earth's, the slag formed a dense ring, forming 2-5 moons, which eventually coalesced into Luna, the moon we have today. It also spun up Earth to a 5 hour day, the angular momentum of which drove Luna out from an initial 30,000 miles to 238,00 miles today. Christ, imagine the surf, the tides, in those early days. Hundreds of meters high. Onto red-hot shores. We live on a double planet, one of two around Sol. the other is Pluto/Chiron. There is also a trailing Trojan point. There are (weak)theories that the world formed there eventually came to be Mars. So Earth has a much larger and hotter core than would result from ordinary accretion- which is good- IT GIVES US PLATE TECTONICS AND DRY LAND. poo poo. Sorry, you got me lecturing- a reflex I try to suppress.
