Jake,

I’m not a Floridian (I believe that is Robert who is Floridian), but I do know from obsidian.

It’s a volcanic rock that is very sharp when broken and is still used to this day to make surgical blades.

In a class on primitive skills, when flintknapping obsidian into arrowheads or blades, we were required to wear long sleeves, leather…[Read more]

If history decides that the American student protests are on the wrong side of history, it will be the first time. They were right about civil rights in the 60’s and about the war in Vietnam. They tend to have a keener perception of what’s right than their elders, when they become a mass movement.

Age and numbers have nothing to do wit…[Read more]

Unseen, the announcement you posted occured in time before the video I posted of the reporter contradicting the speaker.

Also, the statistics on the deaths came from two contradictory sources, the Hamas Government Media Office that reported more deaths, and the Hamas Ministry of Health who reported less.

And the Ministry of Health based it’s…[Read more]

Jake,

The jist of what you’ve said in the last two posts is absolutely correct…with exception to the causation of the mess we encounter in Iran and U.S. Academia.

You wrote (again, Bullwinkle):

(Too bad the free marketplace of ideas was not the least bit efficient)

I keep telling you, through clenched teeth and increasingly ruined dental…[Read more]

Again, while all civilian deaths in war are horrible, you may want to reconsider the numbers of Gaza’s dead being thrown around. Even the United Nations had to concede the the number of child deaths were half what were previously given by UNICEF in March (fast forward to…[Read more]

Unseen,

When it comes to Israel, “I hate the sin, not the sinner.” I don’t blame Israel for existing but rather for their behavior toward the Palestinians. I don’t love Hamas, but I do understand the causality behind its existence. I’m a peace-loving person.

Lolwut? I expect as much from hypocritical Christians trying to justify their horrible…[Read more]

Unseen,

How long has this order to kill been public? The only mentions of it I’ve been able to find are considerably less than a week old, like 2,3, or 4 days. Also, 34,000 at least already killed in Gaza. Has even one person been killed in this instance? How many dead so far?

Doesn’t matter. What the Saudis are doing is either genocide if d…[Read more]

Reg,

Water is fortunately not a zero-G compound and as Amateur Hydrologist David Byrne observed: “There is water at the bottom of the ocean.”

The trick for the Saudis is to either transport water from the ocean or get it from the clouds by seeding them with dry ice and then make the attained water both sterile and potable. Oh, and there is…[Read more]

Unseen,

Someone didn’t give these punks the memo that the criticism is not meant against (((the Jews))):

It’s just too damn bad that New York doesn’t recognize the right to keep and bear arms, either open or concealed. These punks would then stay two arms length away from others if they valued…[Read more]

Unseen,

Is there an argument in there somewhere?

Nope. Just a statement of fact about all the Israel-haters and the Hamas they love.

Bernie and his Orthodox and Peacenik Jewish friends would all make great little Dhimmi puppy dogs for their Islamist masters as long as they pay their Jizyat (Head-Tax) and as long as Hamas doesn’t get a yen to…[Read more]

Unseen,

Both with his anti-Israel and his pro-Socialist worldviews, Bernie thinks that the alligator will never get to him. Same likewise with the Orthodoxers, Jewish Voice for Peace, “The Squad,” and Queers For Palestine.

They can be masochistic and suicidal if they want, but don’t drag anybody else along for the ride.

Fellow Unbelievers,

Wouldn’t positively asserting that everyone but yourself is a mere meat shell without rational consciousness just put the burden of proof on Determinists all the more?

Unseen,

Just ss telling as Pastor Livingston’s words demeaning the Founding Documents are Cenk and Ana concern-trolling Pastor Livingston and other Christians. They all favor commanded “love” and human sacrifice. They’re just quibbling about the fineery of how to do it and who gets to eat whom.

Robert,

Mandela expressed support of the PLO and Arafat in 1990, long after Arafat had established himself as the practical inventor of air piracy and the butcher of Lebanon. Also, both the ANC and the PLO were supported by the Soviets throughout The Cold War, so there’s all kinds of Venn Diagrams of no-goodnik-ness tainting the otherwise just…[Read more]
