By your chart, there will be an imperialist war of expansion by India any minute now.
Maybe you should worry about Hindu terrorists and the evils contained within the Upanishads.
BTW, feigning scholarship while using rofl smileys only makes you look ridiculous.

1- from the chart, China would come first

2- Unlike the Quran, the Veda do not teach religious imperialism

3- please link me to a sentence where I would have feigned knowledge

4- please explain how you know I do not have a higher level of education

5- explain why you think scholars do not use smileys.

PS: a scholar using smileys in a research paper might rise eyebrows, I fail to know in what the use of smileys on a discussion board would be negated to people with higher education. Or are you saying all the people using smileys here at DU are uneducated idiots?

PPS: I do like signing off messages with smileys.

There's a much stronger complsion in here to unintelligently bash everything Catholic. rug Aug 2015 #27

FYI Sam Harris never supported the Iraq war. Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #64

21st centry imperialism trumps 7th century imperialism. rug Aug 2015 #16

LOL. is that called a 'rug theorem'? Yorktown Aug 2015 #17

LOL your thought process is rigid and fossilized Yorktown Aug 2015 #19

I would think long and hard about commenting on thought processes if I were you. rug Aug 2015 #20

Keep denying facts, you seem comfortable with your fantasies. Yorktown Aug 2015 #21

Backtracking is a weak argment. rug Aug 2015 #22

You keep putting your opinions before facts (in a dishonest way) Yorktown Aug 2015 #23

And you keep putting your biases before fascts (in a deliberate way). rug Aug 2015 #28

Say you while avoiding a fact Yorktown Aug 2015 #33

refusing "to acknowledge" your claim that western imperialism is dying is not avoiding a fact. rug Aug 2015 #34

the writing is on the wall, but you decree it false Yorktown Aug 2015 #35

How unlike you to lift a phrase from the Book of Daniel. rug Aug 2015 #36

Again, incantations, ad hominem, quotes, but no facts Yorktown Aug 2015 #37

Your headline is an apt description of your texts. rug Aug 2015 #38

Another ad hominem, still no facts Yorktown Aug 2015 #39

Calling your headline apt is an ad hominem? rug Aug 2015 #40

Your cheap hypocrisy is getting old, too Yorktown Aug 2015 #41

I may be mistaken but is that not an ad hominem? rug Aug 2015 #42

LOL you focus on rhetoric while leaving facts aside Yorktown Aug 2015 #43

Congratulations: 5 non sequiturs in 3 sentences Yorktown Aug 2015 #53

If you have difficulty following, I doubt it's the sentences. rug Aug 2015 #62

Not unsuprisingly your response was ignored Lordquinton Aug 2015 #85

Please don't use expressions like "sic" unless you know how to use them correctly, mr blur Aug 2015 #63

perhaps sic is replacing qed? Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #65

There are two ways to use it. rug Aug 2015 #69

His "fact" is opinion, thus "sic". rug Aug 2015 #67

LOL another rug-y "you said it, you are it" Yorktown Aug 2015 #68

Since you're speaking to me in the third person I presume you meant this for blur. rug Aug 2015 #70

...and he's *still* using it wrong LOL nt Rob H. Aug 2015 #72

Something you want to say directly to me, Rob? rug Aug 2015 #78

Here's where we differ. I expect individuals like Sam Harris to make mistakes even horrible mistakes AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #25

Jeb Bush is an asshole whose core ideology is capitalist expansion. rug Aug 2015 #30

I agree Harris is wrong. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #31

I have no problem with Harris identifying as an atheist. rug Aug 2015 #32

Well you sure seemed to go out of your way to find an article that specified AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #57

Yeah, I had to move my pinky all the way over to enter. rug Aug 2015 #58

Well goodness, at least you found, allegedly, two. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #92

The lesser assholes, which abound on the internet, hardly warrent a mention. rug Aug 2015 #95

You wound me sir. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #103

gak! I have to correct the record again: Harris never supported the Iraq War. Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #66

LOL, but Catholicism is "enlightened"? EvolveOrConvolve Aug 2015 #26

Do you have difficlty reading the article itself? rug Aug 2015 #29

That enlightened atheist you love so much is a serial plagiarist: beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #53

Whoops! Lordquinton Aug 2015 #55

Give him time. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #56

There's no shortage of anti-theist bigots though. rug Aug 2015 #61

Nice try. Do you see any plagiarism in that article? rug Aug 2015 #59

Of course all atheists are the same... AlbertCat Aug 2015 #84

Sure you did. rug Aug 2015 #80

You're welcome, champ! EvolveOrConvolve Aug 2015 #81

Champ? Where do you imagine you are. 1933? rug Aug 2015 #82

Nah, I'm more of a 1950's Leave it to Beaver kinda-guy EvolveOrConvolve Aug 2015 #83

Here's that whole "Lieing about Harris" thing I was talking about Lordquinton Aug 2015 #86

Be very careful about who you're accusing of lying, Quinton. rug Aug 2015 #87

What are you gonna do, alert? Lordquinton Aug 2015 #88

What I just did, demonstrate the ignorance and biases you're peddling. rug Aug 2015 #89

But this is one room where bullshit has a short life. AlbertCat Aug 2015 #91

Given the outraged responses to this OP, I must agree. rug Aug 2015 #100

You demonstrated that you have no argument and must lie about people you hate Lordquinton Aug 2015 #99

In matters of hating people and groups, I'll defer to you. rug Aug 2015 #101

Whatever helps you sleep at night Lordquinton Aug 2015 #109

Why "especially" you? Are you "not as other men"? mr blur Aug 2015 #90

Because his ignorant snide remark was directed at me. rug Aug 2015 #97

If not a lie, a failure to comprehend. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #93

Seems like pretty standard apologist tactics. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #94

This post looks like pretty standard cleanhippie tactics. rug Aug 2015 #98

In your haste to defend this shit, you've thrown all objective comprehension out the window. rug Aug 2015 #96

No haste at all. Once again, I appear to have swallowed your bullshit about Harris. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #102

A/K/A covering his ass post facto. rug Aug 2015 #105

In the same paragraph, in the same print edition? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #108

It is like arguing with a textile floor covering. Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #112

Just stop, AC. You'll never get an admission that he is wrong. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #106

For those watching at home, see #98. rug Aug 2015 #107
