Good Old Canadian First World Problems

xxovercastxx says...

This actually reminded me of something goofy from work.

My company releases service packs for our software roughly monthly. On the quarters, we release a 'major' service pack (SP1, SP2, etc). On the following month we release an 'A' release (SP1a, SP2a, etc) and on the third month, we make a 'B' release.

My tech lead was joking that from now on the 'A' release is to be referred to as the "Canadian Service Pack".

Bill Maher Discusses Boston Bombing and Islam

hpqp says...

I agree with most of your last paragraph, namely that greedy and inhumane capitalism causes huge amounts of damage (arguably more so than religious ideologies), but that is not the discussion here. What, pray tell, is wrong (both morally and factually) with strongly denouncing Islam?

As for that appalling, intellectually dishonest hackjob of an article you link to (which of course uses the term "Islamophobia" non-ironically, displaying it's dishonesty from the get-go), PZ Myers expresses better than I would* how such atheist-bashing fails hard, with the bonus of putting Sam Harris in his place viz. "the war on terror" (Harris lost most of his credibility for me when he defended racial/religious profiling, and Dawkins when he took the wrong side in the feminism debate, but I digress).

If you really agree with the lines you quoted, you might want to read a history book or, you know, watch the news. I would snidely suggest you go live the life of a woman, atheist or homosexual (to name only a few) in a place ruled by religion if you still adhered to such a belief, but that would be meanness beyond even me.

Maher is quickly falling into the trap of many 'New Atheists' and turning towards a strong denouncement of Islam (http://www.salon.com/2013/03/30/dawkins_harris_hitchens_new_atheists_flirt_with_islamophobia/).

The end of that article is particularly telling after having read the whole thread of comments here:

"Proving that a religion — any religion — is evil, though, is just as pointless and impossible an endeavor as trying to prove that God does or doesn’t exist. Neither has been accomplished yet. And neither will."

One thing that has been hinted at here but not overtly said is that there is a dominant, violent ideology which certainly rivals if not trumps the posited "evil" Islam in terms of casualties and suffering. Who builds the drones and the bombs and the fighter jets that rain fire from the skies? Who manufactures the small arms and ammunition that fuel countless civil wars across the globe? For me the answer is clear: oligarchical, capitalist states. Let's put them (and by them, I mean complicitly us) under the microscope for their acts instead of undertaking the Sisyphean task of proving that one religion is more evil than another.

Jack Nicholson Interrupts Jennifer Lawrence Interview

FlowersInHisHair says...

I'm glad she sees the ridiculous side of it all. She reacts to Jack like we all would - just gobsmacked at seeing a famous person. This stage of her career is going to be very interesting for her - she's won the top acting award while still so young, goofy quirky and honest and just herself, so she's going to be very aware of how her life is going to change. Somehow I don't think she's the type to let it all go to her head and spoil her.

Ultimate Deer Hunting Gun Revealed

VoodooV says...

semi or auto doesn't really matter when you have that goofy clip stack, which is the whole point of limiting high capacity magazines.

That gun would surely be fun to fire, but that's the thing. That's all it's good for. In all likelyhood, that gun will never be used for the purpose it was built for. It will just be this fun little oddity to get your jollies at the range.

so that's it...keep them at the range under lock and key...not in the home.

I do have to ask though...what's the point of the three lasers?

Sagemind said:

Good thing it's not dangerous like an automatic weapon would be.

That's right Keeping it Semi-automatic makes it safe so you can't accidentally kill more than a few people at a time. This about does it.

What if the government was your worst enemy

MonkeySpank says...

Romney could definitely spend some of that hard-earned money of his that's parked in The Cayman Islands to create some jobs over here. Him stowing away millions overseas instead of investing it at home, yes, I have a BIG problem with that!

Idle corporate cash piles up
IRS data suggests that, globally, U.S. nonfinancial companies hold at least three times more cash and other liquid assets than the Federal Reserve reports, idle money that could be creating jobs, funding dividends or even paying a stiff federal penalty tax for hoarding corporate cash.
The Fed’s latest Flow of Funds report showed that U.S. nonfinancial companies held $1.7 trillion in liquid assets at the end of March. But newly released IRS figures show that in 2009 these companies held $4.8 trillion in liquid assets, which equals $5.1 trillion in today’s dollars, triple the Fed figure.
