ohhhhh sorry, I'll try an monosyllabicize it down some more for the Balamory / WWE set next time.

ahh yes, the "singularity". AKA, the rapture for obsessive nerds who love to cherry pick data for nice logarithmic meaningless graphs.

do you ever listen to yourself talk? really listen to yourself? because you have truly perfected the echo-chamber art of apologetic religious self delusion. endless weak pathetic excuses, laughably transparent logical fallacies, a total inability to objectively view your own irrational superstitions, a general unfamiliarity with self-consistent intellectual honesty. you gots it all baby. your filthy religion is bursting at the seams with the most ghoulish incitements to gratuitous violence on offer and it's all you can do to jump to its defense whenever this is noticed. the other monotheisms are just as guilty of the same but fortunately their most wacky adherents have been mostly contained in a box by science, law and reason over the past 500 years. the same can't be said if your brand of insecure, ignorant juju though, now can it.

^ have you always been in the habit of making laughably fatuous, mawkish, tautologically nonsensical arguments, or is this a new hobby?

I am not British. I've lived in upstate NY since I was born here 27 years ago. twat.

heyyyyy that's a real nice no true scotsman argument you've got going there for yourself but unfortunately it's total bullshit. terribly sorry that your particular chosen brand of nutty belief system happens to be associated with this specific barbaric practice but that's the way it is. you can selectively quote wikipedia articles till the camels come home but the fact remains that FGM IS associated with some branches of islam and you Dr. internetnobody aren't the arbiter of which branches are "true" or "false". I'll get you started by giving you a little hint though......they're ALL FALSE. the islam tag is not only appropriate it's requisite.

Most of the media suck at reporting science.


And most of the people reading it are just as clueless. Such as, for instance, yourself. Your statement regarding abiotic methane betrays a GROSSLY scientifically ignorant idea of the thing. You are obviously unaware of the long term thermodynamic instability of CH4 in the Martian atmosphere as produced by the non-ozone layer shielded high ultraviolet radiation flux on that planet. Further, you are clearly clueless as to the nature of the impossibility of extremely volatile organic compounds in a lithospherically differentiated small rocky planet. In conclusion, stop throwing stones inside your vitreous domicile.

loooooll! ahhhhhaha. the delusions humans indulge themselves with. truly endless in variety and stupidity. See Frontline's 1993 show "Prisoners of Silence" on "facilitated communication". This sort of nonsense is a type of folie a deux at best (among the "researchers") and a plain old magical thinking delusion or fraud at worst.

ooooh yeah he's a real great progressive speaker and not a total fuckbucket overcompensating douchenozzle at all! ohhhh wait, no, no I'm sorry, my mistake, that's exactly what he is. Here's a tip for all you doe eyed preacher lovin' hand clapin' sheeple out there. How bouts not referring to a 2000 year old book of laughable fairy tales when trying to determine if you made a naughty because you touched your peepee more than twice today. hmmm? how bout instead, growing the fuck up and thinking for yourself.

oh mauz, I don't expect any of that. What I do expect from a movie that ostensibly seeks to provoke thought from the mind of its audience, is fucking honesty, that's what I expect. That, and maybe, just maybe, the assumption by the film maker that little old me, the viewer, just happens to be in possession of an attention span that ever so slightly exceeds the premature ejaculatory doomed coital duration of a freshman on his first post-game back-seat feel-up.

That was unbelievably shit. No not THE shit, just shit. This is exhibit A in how to absolutely ruin what has the potential to be a very, very good movie. Larry Charles is obviously exceedingly satisfied with himself after having made Borat and decided to make Borat 2 and call it Religulous. Every single interview in this is so entirely FUCKED by slimeball editing techniques and fast cut MTV style stock clip inserts (OOHhhhhhh!!! look at the SHINY SHINY!), that I can almost never actually tell AT ALL when the interviewee's answers were actually to the question that was just asked, or not. Any pretense of intellectual honesty (a thing that I should bloody well think a movie setting out to criticize irrationality would hold in VERY high esteem) is entirely obliterated by snide, underhanded bullshit production techniques. This movie is the "Expelled: No evolution allowed" of the secular world. I say all of this of course as a dyed in the wool, inveterate atheist. Religion, especially the more harmful flavors, deserves to be excoriated, mocked and generally devalued, but if you have to literally rearrange the words of your opponents on tape to do it, you've failed. I can't even much enjoy the parts where the religious nuts actually DO appear to make fools of themselves without any help from Charles, because I'm constantly second guessing the context. I don't blame Maher for it at all, but this was an extreme disappointment. I recommend Johnathan Miller's "A Brief History of Disbelief" or Dawkin's "The Root of All Evil?" over this turd any day.

Oh my fucksticks. Um sweetiepie? That is the single most gobsmackingly scientifically moronic / clueless comment that I have ever borne witness to anywhere on the entire world wide interwebs.....Ever. It is PAINFULLY obvious that you haven't the slightest clue as to how scientific inquiry actually functions and your sciency buzzword bingo game betrays such an incredible depth of fuzzyheaded woo that it made my eyes water. Deepak Chopra is that YOUUU??! lol. Seriously someone get this man 50cc's of Carl Sagan, STAT!
