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 can't butter a slice of bread, but he can bore a thousa...

Yet you want open-door immigration, which 'neoliberal' govts. love. They love it because it helps their Big Business buddies with cheap labour, which forces wages down for everyone. Immigration is almost completely irrelevant. It's a side-show distraction and scapegoating for morons so they have so...

Boo hoo. Don't cry for me, Argentina. If you've got tears, you could use them all up on the over 100,000,000 souls in the last century who found out too late that what I said about Leftism was precisely true...right before their bodies rolled into a pit. SO childish. Leftism has given us public hea...

Test it for for yourself...point to the believer/thinker of thought with your finger...you'll see you can't do it, no more than an arrow can point to itself. . What the hell is your problem with the idea of the self? Just because you can't point to is does not mean it does not exist. Point to heat,...

That's the idea, in very simple form.

Bad ideas fade away. That is how religion is going. It's not relevant, and like any bad meme, fails to get reproduced.
Cultural selection?

Enjoy yourselves!

You seem to know what the meaning of life is, though not very capable to argue your case.

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.

The 'improving economy' is an illusion. What does it even mean? That there are more multi-millionaires buzzing around? In the last ten years (since austerity), the number of billionaires has increase three fold, at the same time thousands of lost their homes, many rely on food banks. We have a new ...

Since when has evolution been an effect and NOT the cause of change? If you can't get this bit, then you will never understand evolution and natural selection. If you can not answer the question, then that, to some, would suggest that you are incapable of answering the question. To "others&quo...

For once I agree with you comment. I once saw a production of Julius Caesar with an all black cast.... I get what they're trying to do...to use a popular myth to "sell" their social justice message. I have no doubt they feel righteous for doing so. But at some point, a reversal happens --...

Fun video, and I'm sure it counts as a reasonable comment on the Tories and Austerity. However it has nothing to do with neoliberalism other than that the word was innacuarately inserted into its title. You can play your semantic game until you are blue in the face. But we know what Neoliberalism i...

There was a recent "adaptation" of The Iliad in TV, in which Achilleus was a black man. Each time he appeared on screen it threw up the same question. How come this Greek, kin to Odysseus and Agamemnon does not look like a Greek? The entire story simply lost credibility. This is a thing t...
