<p>this is extremely long and repetitive.<p>"the sciences" is very broad. in biology there are established methods for establishing causality (i.e. Koch's postulates, etc), and even then conclusions are generally qualified. not sure about the other fields, but I wish they had more concrete and recent examples of what they are talking about. this was painful to even skim.<p>also for some reason i cant click on anyting on the site or select text?</p>

  Their return isn’t just welcome. It’s a sign the lakes themselves are healing.

<p>I don’t know what you’re on about. I never made a distinction between death to America and death to Israel, you keep trying to put those words in my mouth for some reason.<p>You seem to think that calling for destruction is worse than actual destruction. We’re never going to agree.<p>Death to America and death to Israel is not a Shia policy, it’s an Iranian self-defense slogan. Hence why Ayatollah Sistani and his ilk never really chanted those slogans. Khomeini is a Shia usurper who used existing anti-Western sentiment to get power for his specific brand of Shi’ism. Try reading any book on the Iranian revolution.<p>Yeah, death to people who are killing me. Makes sense to me. Religion is obviously just a multiplier and a way to control people and that’s why I’m against all theocracy and most religions in general. I don’t see how it’s better if a secular leader says it, which is what you’re implying.</p>

<p>> Amen brother, you understand the point I was making<p>No, I took your comment literally..and even if it was sarcastic I agree with it. It's like in the Art of War. Those who are strong don't need to say anything, and those who are weak bluster. Trump found himself in a weak position but wanted to look strong. Same thing with the mullahs over the years. Predictably once they felt their military capabilities were strong enough, they mellowed their rhetoric:<p><pre><code>  It is also clear that “Death to America” does not mean death to the people of America. The people of America are like other peoples. It means death to American policies and to arrogance. 
</code></pre>
<a href="https://english.khamenei.ir/news/2298/Death-to-America-means-death-to-American-policies-and-arrogance" rel="nofollow">https://english.khamenei.ir/news/2298/Death-to-America-means...</a><p>> 9/11 happened after my childhood and was not conducted by a supreme Islamic leader, why would it be relevant to what I wrote?<p>Sorry, I don't get your point. First, the whole world doesn't revolve around your childhood, and foreign policy is not based on your childhood. This is really getting tedious. Am I supposed to also only care about things that happened when I was a child? Ok, well as a french-iranian person in the US I received hate from actual people in real life, being called a terrorist, etc, and it only got worse when France rejected the premise of the Iraq war. Republicans started boycotting anything french, breaking wine bottles, etc. My dad's french-iranian restaurant had its windows broken when when this was happening. You don't hear me mentioning it in every comment. Did anything bad actually happen to you? For all I know you were a spoiled kid who watched too much TV and weren't brought up to question what you were told.<p>Second, are you actually saying that calls for destruction of the US from religious extremists are only concerning if the leader was not well off? When Khomeini didn't even grow up poor at all? It doesn't add up.<p>The reason it's relevant is because you implied that the primary threat is from Shia islam, even though the vast majority of and most damaging attacks against the US were not by Shias.<p>I haven't read the HN guidelines in a while looks like I do violate a couple, like calling out people for commenting before reading an article. That should be table stakes, I think. I also have a low tolerance for people seemingly playing dumb, and am guilty of snark for sure. I'm not really sure how to interpret the 'cross-examination style' thing in practice, but you're definitely not following this guideline:<p><pre><code>  Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize
</code></pre>
Here's your violation sir: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47911155">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47911155</a><p>Do bear with me a moment while I sort your paperwork</p>

<p>> If Israel agreed to never interfere in Iran, Iran would stop the chants?<p>It's not about what Israel says they will do but actually do, but yes they would definitely mellow down especially if Israel stopped terrorizing the Palestinians,  stopped blocking their path to statehood, and allowed all Muslims visit their holy sites in the region.</p>
