> Hi, all. I have a project I'd like you to help me with. I need some statistical data, so it would be keen if you'd all take a minute or six to answer the following five questions. Be as terse or an verbose as you wish. And it would help if you didn't read any other responses before responding. Again, thank you for your time. > > 1. Who is/was the Ayatollah Khomeini?
I can't remember. But then, I wasn't alive back then. Was he the guy that guy involved with the Iranian hostage crisis? Or was he the guy that overthrew the regime we set up there. Or something like that.
> > 2. Is there a difference between the Republic of China and the Peoples' Republic of China? If so, what is it?
ROC = Taiwan, PRC = China as we know it.
> > 3. Is paganism a religion? If so, why? If not, why not?
Umm..good question. I don't see why not. I mean, they have beliefs that affect moral and ethical values, don't they? I don't know. I'm not a pagan.
> > 4. Was the Setpember 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States (committed by the Arab terrorist group Al Qaeda) a response to the United States' pro-Israel Middle East policy? If so, why? If not, why not?
No, it was the Islamic world's hatred of all that is not Islam, and the U.S. is the embodiment of everything that is not Islam. Islam is an expansionist/war-making religion, as history as shown, and we stand in the way of that goal. Sure, our policy towards Israel does not help prevent anything like this, but I do not think that the terrorist attack was a response made *only* because we support Israel. The hate us because we are successful, and not Islamic.w
> > 5. What is the meaning of life?
Procreation.
