"Dance like nobody is watching; encrypt like everyone is."—I don't know who first said it...and Google isn't helping

[Ibrahim90]

even in the 12th century people knew better than to "trade religions"

Trade in religions is one of the successful trades in societies where ignorance is widespread. So if you want to control an ignorant man, then you must wrap every falsehood in a religious cover.

The guy is more famously known as Averroes.

Very relevant, seeing we've had the Muslim Brotherhood in power in Egypt, and ISIS in Syria.

"If cub porn is pedophilia, then furry porn is bestiality.

"You can't justify one label without the same reasoning applying to the other. It always comes down to an emotional response, not a logical one."—Michael Herman, on Facebook.

"9) You MUST NOT share or give your username and password to any person, entity, group, or organization. It's yours, you paid for it with your hard-earned money. Staying faithful to this honor system will ensure the longevity of the publication. Encourage others to do the responsible thing and get their own subscription if they try to mooch off of you."—The Terms and Conditions of Alan Aragon's Research Review

It seems Alan is familiar with the fact that you tend to catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.  I just wish more people understood that.

"In the disturbances caused by scarcity of food, the mob goes in search of bread, and the means it employs is generally to wreck the bakeries. This may serve as a symbol of the attitude adopted, on a greater and more complicated scale, by the masses of today towards the civilization by which they are supported … Civilization is not 'just here,' it is not self-supporting.
"It is artificial … if you want to make use of the advantages of civilization, but are not prepared to concern yourself with the upholding of civilization — you are done.

"One of the most common things I read on my channel are posts from people who say they like my videos debunking religious belief, but don't agree with my debunking of whatever it is THEY believe. But the point I'm making is that, if you're going to reject or cherry-pick science to support your beliefs, then it doesn't matter if those beliefs are religious, ideological, humanitarian, or anything else. You're changing reality to fit your conclusions. That's the exact opposite of science." —Potholer54
