EFF THOSE FISH UP ! ! !

FEED your bellies.

When all the comments are taken out about how stupid is the other side, we all sound very smart (That was a compliment to you.) God, my wife just screamed about the pantry hurting her... sorry, random, painful thought... I tried not to say you are a moron, I tried to say we all have moron tendencies that come out when telling someone else off.

On your note, you are correct--evolution began life, not the world. I was crossing big bang versus intelligent design versus evolution and creationism. And that cannot be blamed on the Percocet either--since I would have made the same mistake anyways.


As far as those intolerant laws you mention, they are more based on personal gain and okayed through religion than religion-based. I say this because, when we break it down, religion is just another form of governance. People are scared to break another bond "we" all "should" have towards each other... That is sad...

Greed is obvious in slavery, but it is also there in rape (Owning a woman) and the death penalty.
********************************************

I used to be big on rhetoric, ie. I was the best at calling out religion, the right, and before, long ago when I was young and quiet foolish, calling out gays. I stopped hating gays for obvious reasons (The fact that I was being an asshole in that regard.) But after John Stewart's rally, and after the little girl died with the assassination attempt in Tuscan, I am going to "attempt" to better myself. I still will argue, but there will be no expectations to win, no placating and no superior point of view. That is for the "other side" of the debate...

And for my wife

People like this should get there their teaching credentials automatically revoked. And how the eff is it legal to teach lies opinions in school? How about historians teaching that the holocaust didn't happen?


Hahha! Good one Opus. I like how people (I am not speaking towards you Opus) point out other morons first, but sometimes we never evaluate the moron within. Good to make Hp see the mirror.
This pastor-ish guy is not dumb, but just idealized. He is not spreading lies but beliefs. And as to how is it legal? How is it not? I think we have a bit too many laws on the books of intolerance. Such as the law against gay marriage, the laws against pot, public nudity, and looking at your wife's email...
There are plenty of dumb beliefs taught, even in school; where to draw the line is a bit harder. I think religion and Earth's creation should be taught in History class, not science. But then, I am one man and not an all-knowing dick.
And please don't spell check/ grammar check my own, I just had nose surgery and am on strong pain meds...

Wow, so I am a moron for making a common grammar mistake (as a French-speaker, mind you). Would you mind telling me the difference between beliefs and lies? If I say objects fall to earth because God wants them to, and not because of gravity, is that an opinion/belief? All the evidence points towards a Holocaust having occured but hey, I believe it's a Zionist conspiracy to occupy Palestine and oppress Muslims... shouldn't I be able to "teach the controversy"?
Yes, there are plenty of intolerant laws (almost all religious-based, hint hint), but because they're (woot, grammarnazically correct!) legal for now doesn't make them right. Remember all those God-given acts and principles that used to be legal (rape, slavery, death penalty for just about everything, etc.)?
Anyway, I said that more in a spirit of social equity... think of all the non-faitheads that are unemployed, surely there are decent, scientifically-minded replacements among them, no? Actually, considering the pitiful state of America's educational system, that might not be the case.
p.s.: you do know that evolution has nothing to do with earth's creation, right?

First of all I do respect you for defending yourself quantumushroom, Sorry about the cheap jab earlier.
No biggie.
Hate to oversimplify, but generally, when government gets involved, costs for everyone go up and innovation suffers. When government practices the lost art of 'benign neglect', the free market rapidly punishes and rewards ideas. People do more when you allow them to keep more of what they earn.
As the necessary evil it is, government has vital, mandated roles, such as protecting the borders and enforcing private property rights.
Battling child obesity, making smokers second class citizens (while spending tobacco tax revenue), providing "free" healthcare and making land owners get 'permission' to chop down a tree on their own property are not legitimate government functions. Nor can the buffoons "run" markets, except into the ground.
Right now, the federal mafia is simply too damned big, and they don't know what they're doing, just as FDR didn't know the long-term effects of his alphabet soup agencies that are STILL with us. Yes, you won't budge; just be aware there is evidence FDR's policies prolonged the Depression. Or you can merely observe today's scamulus doing nothing.
As blankfist can point out better than me, the Federal Reserve is about to print another trillion dollars, making the money in your wallet and savings account less valuable.
The left has an important part in this narrative; I just disagree with their conclusions.


I don't understand this. "The government" should essentially be us. They should be a good friend selling us shit at cost. When I buy weed off my pot dealing friend, he sells it to me at the same price he gets it. Cost. If I buy off the other guy, I pay a good amount more. If the government is the people serving the people, the people are the greatest benefactors.

I think it's wrong that, in Canada, we sell the right to build lines all through our country, and then the we let the people we sold it to(Bell and Rogers) gauge us for an internet connection.

I can see, however, how it could happen that government run programs might have people in charge who want to look good, so they might strive for a profit. I think this is wrong. It would be wrong for them to turn a profit and then redistribute the profit to other government run programs, but even wronger for them to take that profit and give it as bonuses to their CEO's.

At the end of the day, the problem with "Government" is that it doesn't serve the people, and it won't, unless the people keep on top of them.

We need to call a spade a spade. Like the recently passed law stating corporations can donate unlimited amounts, anonymously. How the eff is there not more outrage regarding that? It doesn't essentially mean the ultra rich control politics, no, not essentially, it 100% means the ultra rich control politics. Why not allow each party a set amount? Wake the fuck up...

"In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population." -Noam Chomsky

There is a whole channel just for Matt Groening?! That may be one of the most awesome things ever. Anyhow, done and thank you.

Really enjoyed reading book. This mess requires individuals waking the eff up.
Here's another Real News segment with Hedges.

Like I said, I knew others would disagree, and I am sure that the submitter had the best of intentions.

I just wanted to make sure I left a reason for downvoting, I do it very very rarely and I think people deserve to know why people downvote.

I have to disagree. This is no way glorifies it and if anything will make it so that this person will likely get caught. There have been numerous cases where the internet community has been able to track down crazy people like this thanks to videos such as this one. If I remember correctly there was a case where some kid was boasting about abusing an animal and was later caught thanks to 4chan or something... I'll have to look it up.
Edit: yup... arrests were made. http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_political/2324917.html Don't eff with the Internets!

Sorry, downvote on this one. I cannot in good conscience see this as a valuable addition to the sift. It is like glorifying that woman rather than trying to ignore her.
I know some will disagree and argue that the sift will help get the word out, but I respectfully disagree and think this video, while likely submitted with the best intentions, has no place on the sift.
