Creationism in the Classroom

Flood says...

I'm starting to feel guilty when I watch videos like this. The same kind of guilty one feels when you laugh at a retarded person. It's so sad that they were born into a community that thinks brain washing children is acceptable.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: LOST Game

Flood says...

The whole episode was devoted to casting light on two of the most mysterious characters.

@Kimmel, Why do I feel the urge to point out the obvious, but Lost isn't Seinfeld.

Funny clip though thanks for sharing.

Sarah Palin - U.S. Law should be Bible, 10 Commandments

Flood says...

"Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
- Treaty of Tripoli, November 4, 1796

Who is re-writing history exactly?

"It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers, but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part."
- Federalist No. 51

They were well aware of the pitfalls this country would likely fall in when they founded it.

...Justin Biebers 32 flavors of stupidity...

Flood says...

Ugh okay, Genji, sorry, Kilpatrick, sorry, is Irish for Japanese, True or False?

Make any sense?

Actual text, "Kilpatrick is Irish for Japanese, True or False?"

Does that make much more sense?

>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

Don't know about you guys, but what I saw was: --- The host lean closer and say " here you go, German " while pointing to the question he was asking on his cue card.
To which Bieber's response was: --- To read aloud the part of question that clearly states " is German for " ..then immediately proceed to assert he has no clue what those word means.
If someone points out, recites, then you yourself read aloud the text in question yet still have no idea as to what the text means.. ..you're dumb.
That's literally the defintion of stupid. Plain and simple.

Florida State Senator views softcore* porn on the job

Flood says...

I'm not sure how I feel about his personal laptop being filmed in the first place.

The video clip doesn't show what he was doing when the offending content was displayed on his screen. Now if he opened up his favorites, launched a porn site, and went surfing for porn, that is one thing, but him clicking on some random link someone sent him (like an idiot, but hey, he'll learn eventually) then it puts a completely different light on the subject.

Now I suppose some would fault him for doing other stuff on his laptop when he should be paying attention. I can understand that; but I also know people who can multi-task quite well in meetings, so personally I wouldn't immediately fault him for that.

I don't know this guy though, so he could still be a douche. I'm just hesitant to jump on the douche bandwagon with only this to go on.

How To Handle Unintended Acceleration

Flood says...

>> ^rottenseed:
Let's put human condition into consideration. Let's say you're driving 45 mph on a road built for 45 mph speeds. Let's say then you start to unexpectedly accelerate. You'll waste a good 2 seconds trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. Then you'll waste another 3 (what seem like infinite) seconds coming up with a game plan to stop the car. Now you're going about 85 on a road built for 45. You start to panic...you're going way to fast. Let's see you think under those conditions.


The person's reaction is probably going to be to hit the breaks to slow down. Probably not hard at first but enough to slow them down a little as they go through the realization process. I once did a road trip in an old car that was one of the first to have cruise control and I accidentally bumped it on and it started accelerating rapidly; not quite the same situation as cruise control turned off as soon as I put any pressure on the breaks, but the scenario is pretty similar.

OnLive - Play Any Game On Any Mac PC With Full Performance

Flood says...

Unless there is a hardware component / partnership with ISPs to make the server have a latency of less than 10ms then they should go work on it for another 7 years (probably longer) while our broadband networks mature.

It doesn't matter how good your stream HD video quality is when the game's input response includes a roundtrip to a server.

Countdown 3/9/09 - The Blame Game

Flood says...

>> ^rougy:
More of that free market magic making the world a better place.

Very few people want a "pure" free market. There is a segment of free market supporters (like myself) that would technically support a "laissez-faire" free market (think Milton Friedman). The difference is that in a "laissez-faire" free market, there are still rules and regulations that are enforced by the government.

So in light of that, I'll agree that the failure here is from going too "pure".

Atheist Experience - Just Another Great Caller...

Flood says...

I like these guys, I really do. And I have a lot of respect for what they do. But most of the time these things are just so painful to listen to. So many of their callers are just plain stupid, regardless of their philosophical views, the callers are just stupid people.

Can you find any more of the good ones where they actually talk to an intelligent theist?

14 Year Old Republican Addresses CPAC

Flood says...

The four principles of conservatism he outlines are:

1. Respect for the constitution
2. Respect for life
3. Less government
4. Personal responsibility

It seems to me that most people would agree that those principles are good ones, regardless of political party. But like a Rorschach inkblot test, these principles elicit different ideas in different people.

For example, take the second principle "Respect for life". One person might think that means that birth control or abortion is wrong, but preemtively going to war is okay. Another person might think that going to war and invading another country is wrong, but think birth control and some forms of abortion are okay. In today's political climate one person is labeled as "conservative" while the other isn't. And yet, from both individual's point of view, they are adhering to the principles.

These principles are like a daily horoscope. Read any one of the twelve horoscopes and it will feel like it applies to you because the message is so generic. Read those four principles and perhaps only #3 will alienate a few. There is no substance in these principles, but the republican party adds its own definitions that gives those principles their real meaning, and it is those definitions that I don't agree with 50% of the time.

You might as well say your core principle is "do no evil". Who could disagree with that? No one of course. Only deranged people actually knowingly do stuff that they consider evil, everyone else is doing what they think is right given the circumstances. But "evil" is committed anyways because people have different definitions on what "evil" is. To some, birth control is "evil", to others, war is "evil".

Wrapping this up. This core he speaks of is trash. Who cares about these principles that make up your core. They are meaningless without a set of definitions that give the core meaning.

Only 14 and already a master of saying a lot without saying anything.
