Yes, North Carolina’s own JFK-wannabe had an extra marital affair. Normally I don’t care about shit like this. However, when I lived in NC, I heard this ass talk about morality all the time. Nice job, Johnny. You picked an ingenious method of proving Ann Coulter wrong.
I had to do an ethics presentation on an area of scientific research in college. I took on the subject of “Genetic Engineering” and my take was one of optimism on how incredibly wonderful the results of this research could be. I specifically discussed the “Frankenstein” argument that always gets trotted out when critics of this area of research speak out. Put simply, “playing God” isn’t a valid argument against pursuing this line of research. The novel has more to do with taking responsibility for your actions than following some religious decree. I put a lot of work into that project and got a “B” for it.
My roommate, Dave, was taking the same class and his presentation was on present-day parallels to the biblical “Mark of the Beast“. Though Dave and I share opinions about religion in general, his presentation catered to the fear most Bible-thumpers have about the future and technological advancement. He took this approach because our professor was one of the advisors for the Campus Crusade for Christ club at our university and very openly religious. Dave played to the professors biases and got an “A”. Even though Dave readily admitted that I worked harder on my project, he still laughed at me for putting so much work into something the professor wasn’t going to appreciate because the Invisible Sky Dude frowned upon it. Looking back on it now, I deserved the ridicule.
Today we laugh at some of the beliefs the generations before us held. Unfortunately we haven’t learned we are as susceptible to being laughed at by generations to come. In the future we will be considered as stupid as the imbeciles that thought blood-letting cured everything from headaches to syphilis. Take the example I ran across today, for instance.
Immediately, knee-jerk reactionaries started their cacophony of “Frankenstein” and “Dr. Moreau” references. Though no one is proposing creating hybrid organisms from these embryos, that is the conclusion to which the anti-science lunatics jump.
This area of research could lead to incredible breakthroughs in the treatment of debilitating diseases. It could also be a scientific dead-end. We don’t know; we have to try. The anti-science douchebags don’t even want us to try. As science continues barreling down the Superhighway to the Future, it still has to deal with blue-hairs and church buses in the left lane. Not surprisingly, these scientific obstructionists are trying to stay under 30 miles per hour because faster speeds than that will kill a human being.
On the Trinity Broadcasting Network (yes, that bastion of class and sophistication), Ben was speaking to Paul Crouch about the anti-science ‘Expelled’ movie:
Stein: When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers [i.e. biologist P.Z. Myers], talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed … that was horrifying beyond words, and that’s where science — in my opinion, this is just an opinion — that’s where science leads you.
Crouch: That’s right.
Stein: …Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people.
Crouch: Good word, good word.
I would say more, but is there any point. I mean, anybody who really feels this way should just become Amish. There’s no point in continuing on in this society benefitting from scientific discoveries you feel are part of a long walk toward moral and physical destruction. I’m starting to see what Nixon liked about him.
This tard is upset because somebody dared challenge the wisdom of the local government granting $1 million to a church. Here’s how the exchange went down between Rep. Dumbass and atheist activist Rob Sherman:
Davis: I don’t know what you have against God, but some of us don’t have much against him. We look forward to him and his blessings. And it’s really a tragedy — it’s tragic — when a person who is engaged in anything related to God, they want to fight. They want to fight prayer in school.
I don’t see you (Sherman) fighting guns in school. You know?
I’m trying to understand the philosophy that you want to spread in the state of Illinois. This is the Land of Lincoln. This is the Land of Lincoln where people believe in God, where people believe in protecting their children.… What you have to spew and spread is extremely dangerous, it’s dangerous–
Sherman: What’s dangerous, ma’am?
Davis: It’s dangerous to the progression of this state. And it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists! Now you will go to court to fight kids to have the opportunity to be quiet for a minute. But damn if you’ll go to [court] to fight for them to keep guns out of their hands. I am fed up! Get out of that seat!
Sherman: Thank you for sharing your perspective with me, and I’m sure that if this matter does go to court—
Davis: You have no right to be here! We believe in something. You believe in destroying! You believe in destroying what this state was built upon.
What bullshit. It’s obvious that Davis believes in something - censorship. Also, from what I know of Lincoln, he didn’t believe in god the same way this twat does. Abe was a lot more open in his belief and didn’t seem to be any enemy of honest doubt.
And how is knowledge that a particular philosophy exists dangerous? Nazism existed. Fascism existed. Totalitarianism existed. The Spanish Inquisition existed. Why do we teach kids about those subjects in school?
Hey Monique, I don’t want to ever hear you mention racism - ever. Some kid may suddenly realize that racism exists and become a racist. You don’t want that, do you? No. We must have only Monique Davis-approved philosophies taught in schools. Eat my ass, you ignorant creep. I would have thought that a member of the black community would be more sensitive to hearing out minority viewpoints. Way to be a hypocrite, Monique. You’ve made a real ass of yourself and joined the PR Parade of Douchebags.
Hillary just keeps shooting herself in the foot with this Bosnia thing and I couldn’t be happier.
The best part about it is when she tries to correct the mistake and the people who were there keep contradicting her. I have to give her credit, though. She got in a quite a shot at Obama with her “correction”.
“So I made a mistake. That happens. It proves I’m human, which you know, for some people, is a revelation.”
What? Obama isn’t a human now, Hillary? Yooooouuuuu racist! Why don’t you just start calling him The Off-White Knight and get James Carville to come out in blackface as Obama so you can pretend to play off of him.
Come to think of it, that might actually be a funny gimmick…
Well, she did it - she won Texas. It was fun while it lasted. I’m still hoping that she ultimately fails in her Grail Quest for the nomination. Maybe this will energize Obama people to come out in droves in the primaries to come. This is the first election where I don’t want anyone to win. I want her to win the least.
Opie and Anthony made a brilliant observation on their radio show. Hillary has this manner of speaking that slowly builds in intensity and volume until it reaches a fever pitch and, well… I’ll demonstrate what Anthony does when he imitates her.
“We must all unite…
And work toward a common goal…
Of bringing all people…
Under the umbrella of…
ACK! ACK!.. ACK!”
I wish someone would start playing Slim Whitman music at her rallies.
Discuss this martian-invader-in-a-pantsuit on our message board.
I drove behind this soccer mom on the way home the other day. Why is she posted here? Well, for one, she’s a soccer mom, but there are millions of those. How can I be sure this is a soccer mom? The top right bumper sticker mentions that the kids go to some Catholic school. The primary reason this is being posted is the bumper sticker on the bottom right. You probably can’t read it in the picture, but it says “What Would the Amish Do?”
Well, ass, I can’t say what the Amish WOULD do, but I’m pretty sure they would NOT:
1) Put their kids in Catholic school
2) Drive around in a minivan
3) Schedule “play dates” on the cell phone while driving to the polling place to vote for Obama
I hate these kinds of people. If this tard is truly wants to live her life like the Amish, she’d be carting these kids around in a horse and buggy to pick crops.
