1. I think the proselytizing soldiers..

That has the potential to be a real ticking time bomb.. which may go off years or even decades from now.

[ColbertWatcher]

2. These incidents must be new, because I remember this happening before.

The above image was taken May 30, 2008 ...

The coin was distributed by a U.S. Marine at a checkpoint controlling access to the city of Fallujah, Iraq.

The left photo reads:

'Where will you spend eternity?'

The right:

'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.'

5. I think the coin was passed out in Iraq..

The incidents in the news right now are in Afghanistan..

This is going to continue to happen, our military is thoroughly infiltrated with these fanatics.

3. The cat parasite has the most potential...

If verified to be true, that is - especially if removing it can possibly change the temperment of half the population. Further study may at least shed some light on the science of personality.

But, I don't think I make the polls stimulating, I just think more people on DU make them stimulating by the way we participate.
