Fail Quotes

OK, even without reading this book I can see it's FAIL:

And this review on the Amazon page is FAIL, too, but the kid is win, win, WIN:

My son is fifteen years old and is living with Down's Syndrome and nothing in this book seems to work, I just can't reach him. When I tried telling him about God's universal and unconditional love he just said, "Tell that to the aids babies dying of starvation every day in Africa". When I tried to teach him of how God sacrificed his only begotten son to cleanse us of sin he stared me straight in the face with eyes slightly too far apart and said, "that doesn't make any sense, he sacrificed himself to himself to rid us of the sins of someone who scientifically couldn't exist? Why would some imaginary jerk's sin even affect me at all? I didn't eat that apple, I'm not responsible, I wasn't even born. And don't get me started on correlation!" He even had the gall to ask me for proof, as if the proof isn't written in the wind and the trees and ocean and the land. He wiped the drool from his chin and said through his fat tongue, "That which can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof!" Nothing in this book helped, he constantly questioned, and constantly countered everything I or the book had to say. And what's worse is that by the end of the book I didn't know if I believed anymore either. I would not recommend this book.

Something about that review screams "troll" but I can't be too sure.

I called it a false dichotomy that no taxes (even if the part of no taxes isn't even true) inherently means no property.

Not to mention completely wrong.  If you have no taxes, you have all your property, unmolested or unstolen by gov't by definition.  I mean, duh.

I have an autistic son, and I can tell you it's much more plausible than it might sound!

I think D might have been referring to the Christian parent typing out their arguments worded the way an atheist would word them.  I don't recall ever seeing a Christian like that throw out our argument that weren't either completely twisted from the original, quote mined, etc.

Be thankful for small mercies: if he talked at a normal rate, the video would have been 8 minutes long!

Which would be 8 minutes longer than it needs to be.

Not that I know of, no.

If he talked like Enthalpay it would have been 45 minutes long.

Well, the review talks about a teenager with Down Syndrome, which has quite different symptoms.  However, a child with lesser cognitive problems from Down Syndrome certainly could ask those sorts of infuriating questions if you try to teach them utter nonsense that conflicts with everything you've taught them (and that they instinctively know) about morality.

Have a look at the empty prattle from the newly elected president of the largest government worker's union on the new government budget:

He occasionally puts out a video that amuses me, but I haven't checked my subs in a long time.

And one of the things they're finding out about Down Syndrome is that the sufferers aren't as unintelligent as they once thought. When the average person with Down Syndrome lived to age 9, that was probably understandable, but now that they're living to their 50s or more we're finding they're not really that different, and of course they have a continuum of intelligent to unintelligent people just like there is among the general population.
