What the hell is Dennett man, chopped liver? Just because he looks (and sounds) like Santa doesn't mean he's not a total Badass.

2. ...and another FLEA...

When I see flea books, I file them in a completely unrelated section, with books such as "financial analysis and trends of stamp collecting in Eritrea, c. 1920-1950" to ensure that they will never be bought. When the bibliopeeps check, they still have 4 copies of Darwin's Black Box in stock, no need to order more. I think those four copies have been there since before last year =) everytime I go there I move them someplace new. If only I could do the same for sylvia brown ... alas, that would be like trying to scoop out an ocean of shit with a shot glass... I am strong in the force, but not that strong.

Does this mean I get a tax receipt for my monthly donation?

Unintentional hilarity I am sure...

Jaam-e-Insaan -- Does anyone find this rings like: Jam of Insanity?

In which case: Bravo sihks, very well done indeed.

Almost as good as the Mormon angel Moroni, I find most religious people to be Moroni, too.

TATA!

#49 is right, boycott fox, you will go in and be talked over and yelled at. This exercise is useless at best and will not frame atheists in a fair light and make us look bad at worse.

He will accuse you of being a communist and a stalinist as well as in league with the Nazis and pol pot (possibly in the same breath, that is how big a windbag this man is).

It would be insulting to you to lower yourself to the level where you agree to an interview by fox news.

Please boycott it doc.

7. Postmodernism Disrobed

Comment #29402 by the_blur on April 2, 2007 at 7:25 pm

september, from your dodging, I presume you don't know what postmodernism is either.

Can anyone here describe postmodernism in a way that someone with a passing familiarity with folkknowledge of an undergraduate level will understand?

So far though, postmodernism is garbage, go science!

september:
[snif... sniff...]

Save us the sob stories there bud. Seems like you're making a horribly cheesy appeal to emotion. You could be a handicapped black jewish lesbian atheist muslim who's had both her balls and one set of inner ears removed but if what you're saying is trash, it won't that one iota.

I'd just like to add that it's completely irrelevant in electronic discourse what your physical disabilities are, nor do I care to know. I am also offended at you informing me, so keep that kind of crap to yourself please. We are all equal here.

I notice though that you still have not given a concise definition of what the movement is about.

You understand what that looks like correct?

You can't polish a turd I guess, but from the definitions that I have gleaned, it seems that postmodernists are simply really expert literary/academic turd-polishing specialists.

Is this correct?

=)

Hey Aussie, just to let you know I have the gospel according to St. Richard printed out and on my fridge =)
