Nice metaphor.

Look at the people here (0.57).
Many of them are likely believers in obvious bs.

Oh please, Fleming's Bond has been long gone. Idiot. Maybe I know what Arising meant. James Bond movies retained the name, the length and the budget of the original movies, but it has developed into a chick flick. He has become a dickless guy due to some weird torture ritual. He is so damaged he ca...

Then it's not James Bond. James Bond is a fictional character created by Ian Fleming. Ian Fleming made him a man so he's a man. The PC fuckturd who came up with this idea can go fuck zirself. Apparently as James retires, she takes on the 007 handle. Craig's M probably hired her to fill a diversity ...

They should go back where they came from on the horses they rode in on.

Not long ago this wouldn't be accepted in a movie script.
It's too unbelievable that this can be a sitting member of Congress.

Ignorance revealed.

I told you how I decide what to accept. Perhaps you can tell me how you decide what to accept. Rational assessments leading to the highest probability. A believer is one who accepts what comports with his beliefs, and rejects what does not. For instance, according to rational, objective assessment,...

Of course you reject my words. Don't let it bother you. I reject everyone's words, especially the words of all gurus, shamans, authorities, experts, academics, and philosophers. The basis for all I know is reason from evidence, or rational explanations that do not contradict anything I already know...

Were these words banned by Facebook because they violate a basic Progressive tactic? Let us never assume that if we live good lives we will be without sin; our lives should be praised only when we continue to beg for pardon. But men are hopeless creatures, and the less they concentrate on their own ...

Yeah, I know. Might be time to take that 'authority' away, yeah? On the one hand, the country is too big for civil war, the vested interests at the trough are too deep, and those interests have protected themselves well since Lincoln took office and raised hell with the office workers. Wikki, 1860 ...

No, that's logic. Life requires form. Rationally speaking, eternal life implies eternal form. I already made it clear I reject all versions of Hylomorphism. I do not care that you accept the idea, but it is silly to keep arguing from a premise you know is not acceptable to the one you are arguing w...

(I see kids walking around wearing T-Shirts with Che Guevara images printed on them because Che is still a charismatic figure all these years after the CIA gunned the bastard down in 1967. Here you have an example of a man who was a politician in Cuba's revolutionary government political, who had a...

... like any true believer, you need the comfort of your beliefs ... I certainly don't need any kind of superstitious beliefs like, "eternal life implies eternal form. ... The eternal form must be light, because the void which precedes light is formless." Call it what like, that is flat-out mystic ...

A fella with the net-moniker Eratosthenes wrote... They think “journalists” actually do journalism, and “climate scientists” actually do climate science. This is why the divide exists, is so wide & deep, and is getting worse. You can explain to them until you’re blue in the face, your own personal ...

You might want to work on those reading comprehension skills. The link I provided includes information about man's effect. Your advice should be directed to yourself, as usual. I didn't read your link because anyone who seriously uses the term, "climate change denial," is a moron. Do you actually k...

I'm certainly not anti-fenestration. No need to deprive workers of beer and good times. Besides, blaming the football, the gun, and cars may be silly but effective, but at what threat to continuing the Age of Enlightenment, as judged by the reduction of real suffering for huge swaths of folks? I do...
