Enco,

I ain’t sayin the media portrayal of the Gaza situation and related Jewy topics are the singlular wrong of mainstream media. No doubt there is an international conspiracy along those lines that not only has pumped another generation with what is old is what is new but has aided in perpetuating endless terrorism and war.

It is also true…[Read more]

Imagine if the BBC or any putative neutral/left media pointed out the hypocrisy & mythology, the utter lack of integrity, the contribution media is making to the preservation of oppressors, the bought and paid for sell out universities, the deliberate use of fake videos, the demonization of Jews/Israel?

I can’t either. Not any big ones anyhow.…[Read more]

Enco,

I think Sarah Silverman made a joke about how the Germans screwed up in the holocaust. Biggest customers of Mercedes would have been Jews. “That is just bad business.” It was something along those lines.

Enco,

Jew hatred/antisemitism ain’t going nowheres. Longer legs than Betty Grable.

I just want it to be honest. The pretense of the lefties? I want to see honest debates in which the mythology is debunked and the proponents are embarrassed, humiliated and discredited. Now i know many of the champions of Palestinianism and demonization of Israel…[Read more]

Are all you guys still supporting government-run health care after all this?

Has there ever been a more corruptive, governmental force in a civilized country, bent on destroying a health care system than what’s happening now? The damage seems so intentional. Even the incompetence seems intentionally made as permanently…[Read more]

But I can attest today that a Jesus Fish on a work van or business sign doesn’t necessarily equal trust or quality. Televangelists and Noah’s Ark theme parks do not help matters either.

I think the “trust” thing works both ways with religious people.  I’m always suspiciously on the look out for tell-tale hypocrisy.

Tribes and clans can be and were dismantled by travel and trade between different peoples.

Travel and trade come into the story.  But in the first place, if family, clan and tribe ties are dissolved to a great extent, then people become individuals.  And religion provided the trust necessary for individuals to trade, o…[Read more]

I think Holy Water is meant to have some spirit in it? And 10 year old scotch is no longer for 10 years olds.

“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.…..W.C. Fields.

Ha! Enco, the Church guided water ignorance had a strange but happy side effect. It turns out that the locals (in the uk) discovered that people who drunk wine, gin or beer did not get sick, whereas those drinking water were keeling over everywhere.  As a result, adults and children alike were swigging back the alcohol, giving gentle rise to the…[Read more]

Was Diogenes Woke?

We agree. He was not! 🙂

Christianity back in the day and Islam in any islamic nation today is the death of individuality and individual rights. The regulation of life is all encompassing and it swallows up all that is decent and desirable in life. Listen to any honest Muslims who have forsaken their cults and you will see i know of what i speak. And everything i have…[Read more]

I think the writer is “tilting at windmills” and is arguing a point that does not need to be made. It could even be deemed a “strawman argument”. Her critique seems aimed more at an imagined “scientific arrogance” than at how science is genuinely practiced.

I think she’s right that science has had ideological…[Read more]

Yeah Enco, I don’t recall exactly when Americans started loading themselves onto the short busses because I spent my working years with teams of engineers and scientists. I generally thought the average among us had a lick of sense. My grandparents understood that vaccines do save lives and authoritarianism is bad. They knew not to eat so much…[Read more]

Burst into bull frog? There are a few known cases of it happening.

Frog log.

There i was. There i was. Northern Maine beside the lake beneath the trees fluttering and dancing in the breeze. GF sitting peacefully alongside ingesting the tranquil scene and the din of nature. Well don’t ya know i burst into bullfrog. I am a passable mimic. Even so am to this day unsure what caused me to break into bullfrog. Don’t…[Read more]
