People who tend to have black and white opinions on nearly every issue in the universe. Don't realize the importance of situational ethics. This is most likely the result of a fundamentalist religious upbringing.
A nine year old girl, tragically, is raped and impregnated by her stepfather. What to do? According to the religious absolutist, abortion is, under all circumstances, 100% wrong. Unless the birth is life-threatening, she can't abort.
Moderate: I don't normally support abortion, but here it's necessary.
Liberal: I think abortion is a right that belongs to the mother. I would support her right to choose if this girl was nine or twenty nine, raped or non-raped. (although i would personally disapprove of it in the latter).
Conservative: Fucking baby killers! It's an innocent fucking BABY we're talking about!
(as opposed to a non-sentient cluster of cells, lacking a nervous system and the ability to feel pain)

Religion is a failed attempt at understanding the natural world around us, why we exist and what the hell our purpose is.
Science may not be able to answer these questions, but that doesn't mean religion can instead does it?
Perhaps some questions simply don't have answers?
Grow up people!

While some atheists can certainly be annoying and intolerant as fuck, there is actually no such thing as "fundamentalist" atheism.
The definition of a fundamentalist is someone who won't be swayed by evidence - someone who relies on "faith". This is in contrast to the nonbeliever, who relies on hard evidence and reason.
And believe me, the second an intelligent nonbeliever finds a good enough reason to believe in any particular deity, he will do so immediately.
But what sort of evidence would convince a religious person that his faith is false?

"fundamentalist atheism"
Look up the definition of fundamentalism in dictionary, folks. "Angry" atheists are preaching for rationality and a respect for evidence, not faith.

I just wanted to clear up some misconceptions people have about liberals and the death penalty. Many conservatives, with their usual black and white thinking, suppose that every single American liberal alive opposes the death penalty, and not only that, but feels sorry for the criminal to boot. This is balderdash however. We despise criminals just as much as you do, and only a very small but vocal minority of liberals actively opposes the death penalty.
To the main point: Why do some liberals oppose the death penalty?
A) It's very, very expensive. Yes, a lot more so than just shoving the bastard in prison for the rest of his life. Huge pull on our tax dollars
B) The number of people who have been wrongfully convicted, sentenced to death, and then found to be innocent is disturbingly high.
C) Statistically, minorities are far, far more likely to be put to death largely because of preconceived biases among the jury. Also, poorer minorities have to deal with shitty public defenders that can't put forth a good case, unlike far wealthier white criminals who can hire the best of the best.

If it were up to me, the death penalty would be applicable only in cases of definitive guilt (hard evidence that the perpetrator is the right dude). Also, he'd have to be at least 18, of course, and above a certain IQ threshold.

A word that, unfortunately, is now most often used as a euphemism for fat by heavy chicks. Which is a shame since a truly thick woman is undoubtedly a beautiful sight.

Weird, obnoxious folks who find it suitable to blame almost 100% of the world's problems on "them jews".
They don't realize that while, yes, many Jews do indeed fulfill the stereotype of "greedy penny pinchers" ( I should know, i'm a jew and i live around them), rich jews did not get there by smoking pot all day. The jewish people historically have placed a heavy emphasis on hard work and education. So maybe if you stop yapping all day and criticizing us, and spend some more time reading up on stocks, you might get somewhere?
Jews are a convenient scapegoat since so many are well off. But they're wealthy for a reason. Did you know that the founder of Google, Sergey Brin, is Jewish? He's a very charitable man too, although this is less known since he prefers a low profile.
Jew haters should also know that while rich jews may often be greedy, so are rich Indians, rich blacks, and hell just rich people in general. It's a problem of the rich and of human nature, not jews.

Liberal Jew haters: They tie any form of judaism with radical zionism. Tend not to realize that the vast majority of Jews in the U.S. are extremely secular and are often some of the most liberal people around to boot. Also most american jews have very little if any connection with Israel.
Conservative Jew haters: They in turn are more prone to despise liberal, secular jews, especially for their perceived influence on Hollywood and the media. I won't lie, this image is probably more accurate. But it's still unfair to insult an entire religion for the actions of a few.
Lastly, the amount of judeophobia on this dictionary, is, frankly, disgusting. Just look up some of the definitions for "jew" or "jews" if you're skeptical of this.
