4. 85% of Americans Want a Presidential Debate on Science

Comment #179637 by Border Collie on May 13, 2008 at 1:00 pm

The scary part for me is that about ONLY 19% think that it's OK for a politician to hold back or alter a scientific report if it conflicts with his/her views. ONLY 19%?! I think I landed on the wrong planet.

5. God seekers go public

Anti-evolution movement ... like the pseudo-science manure they come up with is going to make evolution not factual?

Oh sorry, I meant to say ... America is being run by Darth Vader and his minions along with a few thousand other ghouls ... I hope this clarifies things. Damn, you guys are truly a compassionate lot.

7. Americans pray at the pump for cheaper petrol

Comment #179334 by Border Collie on May 13, 2008 at 6:08 am

Well, it might seem quaint, provincial or whatever to many of you who read these posts; however, if you're an American and you realize that your country is being run by idiots and maniacs, with no hope in sight for anyone better ... what can I say? And, yea, yea, I know ... It's tough all over, the voters got what they "deserved" ... those same "prayers" probably voted for GWB, etc., etc. ... However, I didn't ... along with tens of millions of other Americans ...

8. On Fitna, the Movie

Comment #179120 by Border Collie on May 12, 2008 at 5:27 pm

So they're victims who escape from the hell of their own countries to the freedom of, say, Holland. Then because they carry their pathology with them, they create hell in Holland. And everyone is supposed to "understand" ... because they're victims ... which implies, in their minds, the right to be perpetrators. It's nothing but the same old victim/perpetrator cycle. And, geographic cures don't work. I hope that everyone in the free countries of the world have enjoyed their short-lived freedom. It is being snatched from our grasp faster than the speed of light.

Comment #179072 by Border Collie on May 12, 2008 at 1:32 pm

I'm really impressed. No less than three men beat up and kill a girl. Truly, this is a country (and religion) of manly men. Just so happens, I love educating manly men. Therefore, I hereby volunteer to give the father and his two chicken-s*&t sons their first and final karate lesson. As Yojimbo said in Kurosawa's classic, "It'll hurt". Any other martial artists out there feel like joining me?

I can't even comment on this silly BS any longer. Hey, thank goodness for the Brits ... every time I get utterly sick of the "mamby-pamby, PC, I'm offended, call a waaaaaambulance" crap here in the US, I can always look east and know that the Brits are way ahead of us in the arse kissing game ...

The space shuttle example is a poor one. What has driven the space shuttle disasters was not poor or flawed science, but poor, flawed management, idiotic politics, lack of communication, lowest bidder mentality ... basically bureaucratic idiocy ... etc.

And by all means, don't EVER step out of your area of expertise to say ANYTHING? OK? At least, not here in the US ...

Comment #177521 by Border Collie on May 9, 2008 at 8:24 am

I read a lot of acceptance, etc. of other religions, other than Christianity, in this article. Hey, acceptance is a fine, noble attribute. I'm all for acceptance. And these fine, accepting people believe that once Islam is predominant and aspects of sharia are incorporated into British law, things will still be acceptingly peachy?! Wake the F up! Oh, sorry, I forgot, Islam is a religion of really groovy peace and love. We'll all be tiptoeing through the tulips ... Peace, man! Tra la la la la la ...

Comment #176952 by Border Collie on May 8, 2008 at 11:31 am

I know that scientists, rationalists, Darwinists, etc. go see this movie so that they can comment on it accurately. However, every dollar paid to see this movie is a validation of it, gives it life, no matter whose pocket the dollar came from. I implore all of our colleagues to not see this movie ... don't validate it with your dollars. Truly, you are playing their game when you see this movie. Let it die the natural death it was intended to.

Just watched Fitna for about the tenth time over the past couple of weeks. Except for a little music and some verses from the Koran shown and chanted, it's all about them ... Muslims. I guess pathogens don't like mirrors ... mirrors aren't politically correct ... fits right in with werewolves and vampires ... or is it just vampires? Doesn't matter.

24. An Atheist Goes Undercover to Join the Flock of Mad Pastor John Hagee

Comment #176589 by Border Collie on May 7, 2008 at 5:11 pm

Hey, just like church camp when I was a kid ... down on the Brazos ... near Glen Rose ... where post-Cambrian cave people walked with the dinos ... he haw! They probably had scrambled dino eggs and grits for breakfast.
And good grief, THANK YOU to the racially sanctimonious who took note, generally out of context, that the author mentioned "weather beaten black people". I mean, we could all tell that he was a regular KKK member. Maybe he'll mention "weather beaten white people" next time. Then what? Isn't this a website a place for free speech.

Oh, sorry, I meant to say ... "Let's mamby-pamby, white-wash & pc ourselves out of existence." Damn, I can't believe that I let myself read someone as intelligent, erudite, insightful, piercing, analytical and informed as Sam Harris. I feel better now.

Hey, it'll be great if we don't have to sit through half the program each time listening to some YEC and or IDist argue their side of the "debate" ... I guess National Geographic channel is too busy showing it's usual nonsense about big foot, alien abduction, Biblical "science/archeology" and, of course, sharks, snakes and crocodiles ...

Comment #176124 by Border Collie on May 6, 2008 at 4:07 pm

Damn, it is so much easier to blame outside "forces" than to simply look inward and do what it takes to change and get better. Pathology is pathology is pathology ... nothing more. How 'bout a little therapy and maybe a dose of medication? Demons, my ass.

29. Dumb and Dumber: A discussion between Ben Stein and Glenn Beck

Comment #175867 by Border Collie on May 6, 2008 at 7:04 am

Apparently, Beck has not attended nearly enough AA meetings. Grandiosity/arrogance are two of the primary "issues" discussed in such. He is what is classically known as a dry drunk. Maybe he should start drinking again. And, his environmental views are so horribly damaging. "Hold the reindeer down and drill a hole through it's head?" My guess it that he started drinking during his middle school years, 11-14, and that's where his emotional development stopped. The reindeer comment is something a seventh or eighth grader would make. I wasn't really angry till Beck took a cheap shot at Dylan. Now I'm pissed. And, wow, I just loved the too-many-cats discourse. Puke. Good sickfotainment, however.

30. Dumb and Dumber: A discussion between Ben Stein and Glenn Beck

Comment #175599 by Border Collie on May 5, 2008 at 4:58 pm

Seems like they can't get past "belief" ... belief requires "faith" ... rational people don't "believe" in evloution ... evolution simply is ... it doesn't require belief or faith ... we look at the evidence and it simply logically follows ... thanks to Mr. Darwin ...

31. Neanderthals were separate species, new study finds

Comment #175587 by Border Collie on May 5, 2008 at 4:34 pm

35. Evolution's Critics Shift Tactics With Schools

Comment #174769 by Border Collie on May 3, 2008 at 12:46 pm

This is why I no longer teach. A teacher is just supposed to teach the dogma of the state and stick exactly to the text? Why even have teachers? Let the kids stay at home and do it all over the Internet. And, a whole bunch of idiots agree on something and decide what is scientifically true? Since when is truth a result of a democratic voting process? OK, let's all vote that the Earth is flat. Does that make it flat? I reiterate for the zillionth time ... If you want to learn about ID/cretinism (short for creationism), GO TO CHURCH! There is already enough idiocy and backward thrust in the schools; they don't need ID, creationism, voodoo, animal sacrifices, flat Earth "science", Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster and or alien abduction! Or, I guess we could lobby the legislators to pass laws so that Darwinists can go into the churches and teach evolution every Sunday morning. This crap makes me so tired.

Comment #174757 by Border Collie on May 3, 2008 at 12:23 pm

I think the throwers should become the throwees, to a proportional distance relative to their size, and simply see how they like it. They would probably attain, within all the fun and games, at least some degree of the enlightment they supposedly seek.

Comment #172463 by Border Collie on April 29, 2008 at 3:26 pm

Reconcile the two Richards? Sounds like a personal problem to me. Are we still mucking around in the atheism leads to killing people thing? Mao, PP, Stalin, Hitler, etc., were pathogens. They were what they were regardless of what labels we might put on them or believe about their beliefs. Do the idiotic questions ever change? Reminds me of the broken record from hell. Want to see some good old time religion? Note the following:
