I think I just figured out what Atheism+ means: Atheism plus statist dogma.

That was absolutely painful to read.

Seriously, someone should make a thread there that says "Why skepticism is not compatible with Atheism+" and post the links to those threads.

QuoteTL;DR: Handing power to the majority in the way that Libertarianism does fucks over the minority.

Right, kind of like how seemingly every year in Florida we have ballot measures to ban X or add new taxes to Y just because 50%+1 say so

If I made a water drinking game, where I drank a shot of water for every bit of bogosity I just read, I would die of Water Intoxication.

There is one good thing about atheism+. A lot of atheists pretend that statist dogma is somehow implicit in not believing in God. The + part pretty much says that their brain dead philosophy is in addition too, not a part of not going to church on Sundays.

you're making things too hard: just call "atheism +" what it is:

1- "Statheism"
2- a large circle-jerk.

This isn't creepy at all!

Basically blames teenagers for getting tired of schools being restrictive of their lunches.

I love how he goes on that tirade about giving kids more food choices while the law is taking away a food choice.

We protested the school lunches when I was in 9th grade. If he thinks that's anything new, he's as ignorant as he is dogmatic.

I can tell you this:

80 cents, Kuwait: an excellent oregano, cheese, or "pizza" style bakes, juice, and a side order (chips or chocolate). you can sub the juice for Pop. either way, it lasted the whole day, and it tasted good enough.

many times that amount in America when I was a twelfth grader: tasted like offal, lost 30 pounds.... (ok, the stress of that year certainly didn't help).

His advice is to stay in the Republican party and to vote for Barack Obama (not a typo) especially in my state. I get the argument that Romney could be worse for Libertarians than Obama and have made some of the same arguments, but both staying in the Republican Party and voting for Obama strike me as bat shit crazy.

With Gary Johnson coming to my state all the time and the fact that the Constitution Party beat the Republican Party more than 3 to 1 in the last Governors race I think it is definitely possible to deliver my state to Gary Johnson this year.

Harry, as always, was full of win, but oh at the fail in the comments:

Well, I posted a reply to you, which I think will come in handy with that one guy who doesn't know jack about the "wild west".

fact of the matters is, while homocide and violence in general were common, they were only so in certain boon-towns, gold rush centers, and other similar places, with unusually high percentages of young males. These in turn usually kept the shooting to themselves, and killed for reasons including money, rep, honor (I know), and even politics--and usually in a self-defensive manner. women, children, the old, and the innocent were left well alone, and for your average townperson who minded his business, it was probably safer--much safer--than today's cities. this is corroborated by towns like Portland, which had no such demographic inequality.

further: people didn't hire gunfighters for farming disputes--not that I'm aware of. usually either went to court over it. if violence was used, it was between the male members of the property holders' family or friends.

Also, for the record, you are right: people really do exaggerate people's exploits--Wild Bill Hicock aside--the real deal was crazy enough (srsly, 75 yard shot with a single action pistol on a windy day striking a man dead in his heart--that shit happened).


that's what happens when you research shit for the Black hills..you learn all matter of weird things.

I spliced your podcast and Alfonzo's videos together. Mostly I was bored out my mind and needed something to do. You've pissed off the Neo-cons, Shane.

This one was all kinds of fail worthy.
"Shanedk, you ask how many times the U.S. has to "be able to invade the entire world"? How many times should your immune system be considered justified in attacking viruses? The U.S. does not start wars. Were it to quit opposing those who do, this entire globe would be in flames in short order."
