in response to the TYT comments: i really appreciate what TYT are trying to do but they need to get their shit on lock. they're too experienced to be operating like a high school news channel/early morning radio comedy show.

same with the real news but their stories are way, way better. and why can't they title their videos in any kind of coherent way?

and i feel similarly about bill maher. about 10-20% of the time he has something worth saying. he does, however, put together some awesomely bizarre groups of people, which i appreciate so long as they're allowed to speak in complete sentences.

anything from the amazing atheist or thunderf00t is just pure cringe these days. they lost the plot years ago and now just their voices sound like crying toddlers to me.

any MRA/ideologically anti-feminist stuff is also pure cringe. i'm all about critiquing ideas and i have my own critiques for parts of feminism but pretty much everything i've seen devolves to "look at this stupid fat girl" pretty quickly.

i also second what newtboy said.

anything political that bobknight posts is just a clusterfuck of wrong/partially wrong/intentionally misleading and adds nothing of substance to any discussion.



what i miss rachael maddow articles. she always seems to research and cover the facts of her stories really well.

this was a great discussion.
i was never a huge fan of sam harris as being a solid representative of an atheist viewpoint until a fellow sifter pointed some great essays by harris (waves to qwiz).my narrow opinion was mainly due to only watching short clips of harris,which is pretty unfair to harris and not indicative of his approach.

so i have gained a modicum of respect for harris in his ability to be reasoned in certain instances,though i may still disagree with many of his conclusions,for a multitude of reasons.

that being said i had two problems with this interview:
1.the first 5 minutes was harris whining and crying.that was total turn off.
2.at approx the 2hr mark he makes the argument that islam needs to experience a reformation,great argument and one i agree with,but in the VERY next sentence out of his mouth he criticizes reza aslan as not suggesting that islam is desperately in need of a reformation.

this is an out and out,bold face lie;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_god_but_God:_The_Origins,_Evolution,_and_Future_of_Islam

the entire book is an argument for reformation of islam!!

props to cenk for calling harris out on his draconian imaginary policies (if he were in charge).the arrogance of harris needs to be challenged at ever step and cenk did a great job.harris spent the majority of this interview back-pedaling.

there are some amazing atheist thinkers out there and throughout history,harris,at best,is mediocre.

i have read hitchens and harris is no hitchens.

Was that the Amazing Atheist on the right? Um, yeah, probably not.

You're touchy when it comes to rape.

Yes, yes I am. But I am also a fan of atrocious puns and bad taste, so have an upvote.

I don't deserve one because I've only just now realized I used the word "touchy"...I'm hideous! smashes mirror

Thanks for the info, and for teaching me a new acronym. I don't think I'll be able to stomach sifting another. Wow. What scum.>> ^hpqp:

In case the feminism debate ever rekindles on the Sift, people might want to know what an amazing fucktard the "amazing atheist" is.

>> ^Trancecoach:

the corporations create the need.


Urm... they do? I can agree corporations in general are soulless fucks who should be behind bars (BoA for example...) but to say that is... like saying politicians are responsible for our current state of decline in America (It is the voters...the elderly people scared of their own shadows, the entitled, the rich and snotty, etc.)

Yeah, corporations blast TV commercials meant to brainwash adults and children... But they are just an extension of the people's wants. Remember, democracies fail for a reason...

>> ^LukinStone:

Yes, they seem entitled jerks.
But, why do we care? Better to ignore such nonsense. I have a hard time getting to the end of this guy's posts. I generally agree with what he says, but I don't find him funny at all and the exaggerated anger is annoying.


Except that its not just entitled teens--its nearly everyone I see. Only a few are exempt... And the best part is, we do ignore it! We just pretend this is just a few because its about the Iphone and such, but elitist shit is everywhere.

So, she met the amazing atheist in India?

Agree. I think this fits the recently removed Fail tag. It certainly wasn't PWNAGE. I don't necessarily agree that the Al-Qaeda got their ass kicked, for example. He doesn't represent my view, nor that of all leftists.
