Sen. Shortey Turns Self In At Cleveland County Jail

notquiteright said:
Well what tripped a few Okie triggers was Sen Shorty deciding we the people didn't know what we were voting on when we reduced simple possession of most drugs to a misdemeanor, like many other states. he introduced SB512 to alter the will of the people and change the outcome.

He also wrote a bill to ban the use of fetus tissue in food. (no other Okie Senator has signed on)

Just an FYI on Okie politics... he is one of our rather blatant rabid right wonks... it was quite a surprise to me he liked minor boys for sex... but I guess he had to meet the beast to know how to fight it... (as good as excuse as any i reckon)... :peace

I understand that he probably supported certain positions and that, in your relation, he seemed to not support the will of the people. But did he talk about how horrible everyone else was that didn't believe like he did?

This has nothing to do with the DM's or Di... I am merely pointing out my opinion.

Meanwhile... slagging all Muslims for the actions of a small cadre of terrorists seems to be perfectly acceptable in these forums.
Or all rappers for the comments of one Dogg, etc...

I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word "small".

I've seen different estimates, actually...
What percentage would you consider "small"?

Considering the number of Muslims worldwide, less than 1 percent isn't even small. Have you ever looked at the polling data for Muslims worldwide who condone terrorism? You should.

Yeah. I just said (in the post you quoted) that I've seen different estimates.
What percentage of the total population condones terrorism of one sort or another?

I guess you could do a statistical comparison if everyone could agree to accept one set of polling data.
Good luck with that.

Like I said, I don't think you understand what the word "small" means. What would be a "small" percentage of Muslim terrorists to you?
 
I do believe Trump deserves a little grief for this anyway. Don't get in bed with the holy roller types and you won't have to answer for their extreme hypocrisy later

Turns out they aren't better than anyone

When talking about any sampling of people, less than one percent would commonly be considered "small".
The percentage of terrorists (even widely defined) among the sum total of worldwide Muslims is likely a tiny fraction of 1%.

So are you unwilling, or unable to give us a number. Quit dodging.

" .006625% of the Muslim population are "extremist"

A CNN article is the basis for your assessment? Surely you cannot be serious. But okay, let's use your very likely, highly inaccurate number of .006625%. Are you telling me 106,000 is a "small" number of people?

Soooo, basically, this is a "small" crowd, according to you.

Here is just a sampling of countries, and their favorable view of ISIS. It's a little more than 1%. In fact, in Pakistan alone (let's say it like O'Bama...POCK-EEEE-STON), that's 16,380,000 people who hold a favorable view of ISIS. ;)

We weren't talking about people with a "favorable view of ISIS". And it appears you do have some search capability and an internet connection... Why were you so bashful about posting numbers from your own sources?

You don't like CNN? Find some "alternative facts".

And yes, 106,000 Muslim "extremists" sprinkled throughout the entire world would be a "small number of people". And the number of those who might be likely to commit a terrorist act would be a small fraction of that.
