Kimmel is back on the air soon!

Just heard Trump off the cuff re autism. The guy who already exhibited subpar intelligence is in serious decline. Now watch as this trajectory continues how the same group that yelled about Biden defends their leader. But the other group who was also silent and ridin with Biden is lighting him up.

Oh hi Samuel. You tell me where a man gets his…[Read more]

In charged eulogy for the martyr Chuck, Tucker Carlson ties Kirk’s assassination to killing of Jesus. Ah yes, the Jews. Yeah, how could we have possibly predicted who MAGAs next targets would be? Lots of FAFO. Like this black MAGA idiot.

Reg,

I think i read something by Diderot but can’t remember which book. Obviously strongly associated with the enlightenment. If i could go back in time to any historical era i might choose the salon as my 6th choice. And i really can not assure you i wont purchase your recommendation.

As a kid i would recite that entrails quote and some other…[Read more]

Left and Right don’t apply to Islamic terrorism except that Islamists think that they are the only ones who are Right and should be the only ones who are Left.

I like that line 🙂

@Enco –  you wrote: I got lucky and was able to get a prescription for a COVID-19 vaccine, completely covered by my insurance, with only the hassle of going to my Primary Care Physician, who fortunately didn’t charge me for the visit. 

You needed a script from a physician to get a COVID-19 vaccine and it cost money? Did booster vaccines also cos…[Read more]

Hours spent on religious indoctrination (especially in schools that emphasize rote memorization of doctrine) are hours not spent on inquiry-based learning, STEM labs, or building critical reasoning skills. When students are trained to accept authority and revelation as the highest form of knowledge, they often carry weaker habits of skepticism,…[Read more]

Here is a useful site to verify images…..i.e. fake or taken from elsewhere and re-used.

@jakelafort…. I used to have a t-shirt with that quote. I wore it back in the days when blasphemy was a thing in Ireland. It started  lot of rows and arguments….which was my intention 🙂

If you ever want a ‘different’ book to read, then I would recommend this one. I have it somewhere in the house. Reading the first page of the prologue…[Read more]

I don’t know man.

Right wing v. left wing violence? If we examine history which is the greater source of it? Can you imagine. Communism? wow. Fascism/nazism? Ultra nationalism? Imerialism? wow

And today we have the lefties shielding Islam from criticism. Incalculable harm including violence is a direct result of that move. Not to mention the…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!

Have a great week!!

“If evidence is the engine of progress, magical thinking is the handbrake left on.” – me.

Yes, the fundamentalist position is where the religious should aspire to be. If one is ‘true believer’ then no reasoning is allowed in. NO point just being a “Sunday Christian”. Faith must become the totality of the brain process. Anything less is not acceptable to your peers.

I agree Reg.

The ones secular folks typically view as extreme are the purists.

At some point in the past I remember thinking that religious fundamentalism was a byproduct of whatever religion someone followed. But it is not. It is the natural destination to arrive at if you stay the course of the indoctrination process. There are just degrees of how “mental” people become once they reach the destination point.

Enco,

Banning speech is at its nadir when government does it. Total supression means zero democracy.

At the same time free speech is not an absolute. And as i have indicated and still opine there are instances in which hate speech should be banned. But that is just me and the fucking progressives that i now despise! And i despise them even…[Read more]
