I’d like to ask these LGBTQ hating Christians “What evidence do you have that Jesus was heterosexual?”

Some interesting points about the Comstock Act. (2 minute video)

....let’s not forget that we have equally unhinged Christian shariaists who want everything run according to their interpretation of Christian precepts…

I am on the case Unseen. I won’t let anyone forget 🙂

I will be placing old jeans and shirts in the local park to show that everyone meets their God naked.

I am sure the sex dolls will find the rapture an uplifting experience and the Christians will reach the Pearls Gates, not just naked, but many of them will have a high pitch squeaky helium voice too.  Please St. Peter, I thought the dolls were angels!

Thanks, Reg!

We are thinking about joining a group that plans to inflate sex dolls with helium and send them up during the eclipse so that everyone thinks the rapture has begun and that they were being left behind.

Regarding the apparently religion-based inside baseball attack on a Muslim girl who maybe didn’t wear her head scarf correctly or at all, let’s not forget that we have equally unhinged Christian shariaists who want everything run according to their interpretation of Christian precepts and who think that if they do something terrible (like forcing…[Read more]

Reg,

What is the Comstock Act mentioned in SCOTUS abortion pill case?

I first heard of The Comstock Act all of 42 years ago from a book called Freedom, Feminism, and The State edited by Wendy McElroy and published by The Cato institute–you know, those “relentless” Libertarians that some people can’t stand. 😁

Ever since and up to now, both The…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!

Reg,

Much obliged on the input on measures for health. I guess any attempt at measuring is better than none. Still, I have to wonder when it jumps all over the place. Maybe the scale is defective or on low batteries. Must check and see.

Simon. The word you’re looking for is Rare.
Rare. Rarer. Rarest.

You can’t have uniquer or uniquest, right?. That’s because the ‘uni’ part of the word is singular. One.

Unicorn=one horn.  Unicycle=one wheel.

Unique=one thing. One.

But if there are, say, 3 green triangles, and 1000 orange circles, in the world, which is more unique?  Green triangles or orange circles?

I disagree, I think that something can be more or less unique…

When I was about 14, a ‘religious indoctrination’ teacher told me that I was almost unique because I was constantly challenging everything he was saying.

I replied by saying something or someone cannot be ‘almost unique’. Unique implies being one of a kind……like Jesus sir. The…[Read more]

“Unique” doesn’t play well with qualifiers.

I disagree, I think that something can be more or less unique, or singular: more or less the same as other things.

People abuse the word “unique.” My hair stands on end whenever I hear someone say something like “somewhat unique.” “Unique” doesn’t play well with qualifiers.

A podcast to highlight how F’d up the proponents of Islamophobia are and how the far left has become a religion.

Enco,

All organisms are unique. You can also point out various organisms with characteristics that are either accentuated beyond other species or unique to that species. But that never happened.

The point is a religious notion namely special creation has infiltrated the greater culture. It was pathetic that happened in a public school. (Take…[Read more]

Jake,

There is no contradiction in saying that humans are product of billions of years of Evolution and that humans are unique. Where the teacher got it wrong was assuming that we humans are “chosen” and “created” by a Supernatural Being to be unique.

Steve Job had the right idea. Humans are unique because we innovate our way out of our…[Read more]

Unseen i was way ahead of the curve.

As a child i endured classes in which a techer taught us we were special creation and we had to learn all of the way we were unique.

None of the superman shit made sense to me if we posited evolution as legit. Along came Jane Goodall’s In the Shadow Man. I read it with gusto. It was particularly enlightening…[Read more]

@ Jake

We have made a lot of progress on learning animal language with prairie dogs shown to have a surprisingly strong language consisting of nouns and adjectives (verbs seemingly supplied by context).

In case you hadn’t noticed, I recently started a largely-ignored thread about the research showing that prairie dogs can and do talk to each…[Read more]

@_Robert_ – I stumbled this earlier – it may be of some interest to you.

Thanks Reg, cool stuff. I do use a pedal when I play bass. It actually gets it’s dsp algo’s downloaded from my iphone via audio DTMF via the bass guitar’s pickups. However, most of the demand for me is to play keyboards these days.
