yeah, well, if you don't have urushiol-designed products, good old water works, too. I grew up around a lot of poison ivy, and as kids, if we were exposed, we ran to the nearest source of water and rinsed as quickly as possible. A pond saved me from a nasty case once.

Uurushiol's no joke -- my mom got a bad bad case a couple of years ago and was practically bedridden for a week.

oh those Dutch!

And why can't parents talk to their own children about sex?

I think that's a much bigger problem than an accidental sex tape. Goddess forbid children know what sex is, even tho at that age I'm sure they already know much more about violence than any kid needs to know.

one of my favorite feminist lesbian punk bands . . . could this be added to the *femme channel??

*sigh* now I just want to go out and by some pore-minimizing moisturizer. and I don't even know if I'm being sarcastic or not!

I think it deserves mention somewhere that the guy who created Tank Girl and originally drew the comic is Jamie Hewlett, the artist behind The Gorillaz.

what about the deists?
everybody is so worried about the atheist and the theist,but what about the deists?
ya know what?
i dont really care,cuz if you dont chew big red then FUCK YOU!


I care about deists! I also like animism. Both are belief systems that I find attractive and non harmful to society (such as imposing one's morals on others, or fundamentalist-driven wars). I believe quite a few of the USA's founding fathers were deists, and if the lyrics of Pocahontas's song from the Disney movie are any indicator, the Native Americans were animists ;-) I do think both belief systems should get more recognition. The problem is defining religion in the first place. There really is no line between certain religions, philosophies, and belief systems. So, imho, there are actually many more atheists in the world currently, and historically, than people realize.

Honestly, I'd rather have this conversation in a classroom, or drunk, or both.
i was bein a smart ass,and i wanted to use that awesome line from tallidega nights.
there actually is a definition of religion,which i have posted..and it got me nowhere.i think people conflate certain properties much too easily concerning theism and deism.
you are correct about america's forefathers being mainly deists..also freemasons.native americans have an incredible array of belief systems concerning the great spirit.
i loved the video you posted =)

Hmm . . . yeah, I knew you were being a bit of a smartass, but I use any excuse to act pretentious and discuss difficult topics.

I don't actually agree about there being a definition of religion, but yes, I agree that the Native Americans have a variety of amazing belief systems (and not just the ones in North America). This semester I studied the Lakota a bit, and learned of Wakan Tanka (did I spell that correctly), and I've studied the Maya quite a bit. There are so many things we can learn from the cultures we've destroyed/are destroying. So, I don't understand why people are so anti-atheist, when atheists seem to appreciate the "array" as you put it of dying religions, and it is often the fundamentalists of the current era that crush those cultures and their religions. Have you ever read Lame Deer? If you haven't, I think you would love it.

:-)

Edit: ha, I feel like a dumbass after looking more closely at your profile. You teach comparative religions? From an anthropological perspective? And which definition of religion do you ascribe to? Geertz? I'm very curious. Btw, I'll probably post the other videos featuring Albert if I can keep getting them sifted.
