1)  That first pastor is a fucktard.
2)  That second pastor brought a tear to my eye as a bi-sexual. :')  Enjoy your silver cluon, bro! :)
3)  31:30 -- I smell a bogon that slipped in.  I thought rape was forced sex, regardless of gender, not just when the women is forced.
4)  Not to mention Zo's talk of how God is awesome for not yet *murdering* everyone.  I don't even have words for that!  And judging by your reaction to him being nominated, you didn't either.
5)  D's was actually pretty good.  Don't undersell yourself dude. :)  True, he did have to repeat himself, but it was only because of the OP repeating bogus points.  And yeah, I would have thought of including Animal Crossing in addition to Farmville, but oh wait, that has you paying off debts and the option to buy a bigger house!  Even though it's about as communal about it as possible--I mean, the debt has zero interest and Tom Nook never bitches about it; like, ever.  Except for the beginning of the game, which is more an excuse for a tutorial than anything.
6)  Thanks for admitting that much of what we learn about economics and related subjects in school is wrong. :)

I should make up with a wacky organization name for my user name.

I love how Zo said that God didn't tell Adam and Eve why they shouldn't eat the forbidden fruit and Zo acts like that's a good thing!

w00t! My nomination was chosen! I had assumed that either Krugman or Obama would have won the honor, but then again, it's hard to top biological ignorance.

Indeed.

I swear whenever I read that article I read it with this voice:  [yt]3KO_wxV0akU[/yt]

Against my better judgement I looked at the comments of the PIV/rape blog.

The OP of the article said this:
"to whom it may concern, I'm doing you a massive favour and being super nice in saying that i'm not publishing any comments which include the following:
"PIV as rape trivialises real rape victims"
and "but, but, I like sex and you're insulting women or men who like sex";
and "you're just doing sex the wrong way"

naming violence doesn't trivialise violence or victims of violence, it names violence. To be a rape victim isn't a competitive elite oppressed status reserved to a special few women, which loses in specialness as the number of rape victims increases. All women are raped in patriarchy, even by non-radfem standards.

As to the last two points, this shows reading comprehension problems and I would ask you to re-read the post and comments with more attention as a reply has been provided. Please build on that."

That's right, she just flat out censors the comments.  Lovely.  It would explain all the "support" she gets in them too--nothing else is allowed!

I would say if you're playing a game like Civilization, technically it is socialism.

After all you plan what is researched, built, extracted et cetera.  But even then it requires MAJOR assumptions, like the one where loyal citizens will simply extract resources from the square you choose.

Mostly because on that scale it's easier to program.

In your comment on top describing the nominees and stuff for the podcast posting on YouTube, don't you mean "heterosexual" sex, not "homosexual' sex when talking about the radfem? O_o
I mean,...I wasn't aware as a male I had a vagina in addition to a penis. :P

Damn bogons...

man, I'd love to see the look on mom's face (or my sister), when they discover that they've been raped....*extreme sarcasm*

I'm seriously torn between the following options as to what is wrong with her (stupidity aside): bear in mind, these are the first ten options I could come up with (in that order):

1-she's never gotten any action, and is consequently very bitter and jealous.
2-OK, this might be a bit too much. I'll leave you to discern it: needless to say, it's pretty dark a thought.
3-she thinks all sex should be like in scrubs when JD gets Kim Pregnant...(look it up)
4-she's a lesbian, and apparently is trying to justify herself (even though there is no need to).
5-she seriously believes storks mail children to homes.
6-she's an antinatalist, and wants humanity to go extinct, and her radfemism is just a front...in which case, she's a particularly stupid version of Inmendham (which is saying something...)
7-she believes that we only reproduce by parthenogenesis.
8-she has had sex, but could never get an orgasm, no matter how long it took. So she's trying to deny it to others.
9-she just might be this stupid or insane,without any logic--no matter how shitty--involved.
10-she believes that humans reproduce like frogs and fish: the man ejaculates into the water, the woman deposits eggs in the same, and they swim into one another.
Meh

Or a possible 11:  She's a troll/Poe.
