He is no worse that Holtz, but I'd say equally bad. It's like listening to a southern leprechaun talk about football thirty years ago, whereas Holtz sounds like a mongoloid ramble on about the time he found a nickel in his pocket. Pick your poison. But, I have to say that they both lead the league in some…

A small request from a humble commentator
It seems almost self-evident that political commentary and sports announcing are part of the audio/visual and popular culture requirements this fair site seems to report on. So, why isn't there more write-ups about the quality of announcing during nationally televised…

I actually kind of like the way the Anne and Mark relationship is being built partly because relationships are kind of slow to build anyway, and they just seem to be in the "hanging out but fucking" stage.

I thought that was the sewage deFARTment that had the super hot interns?

"Where can you come up with moral "truths" based on non-empirical statements? You have no way to speak about anything which can *be* "moral" or perform "moral" actions. (And yes, I'm a non-cognitivist.) :p"

The is-ought distinction is just supposed to show that you can't derive facts about ought from scientific or empirical discovery. This on its own does not rule out that there are objective facts about ought. Moral truths are just going to be conceptual truths, or a priori truths, and not empirical truths, according…

"There *can't* be, due to Hume's guillotine"

"There's no objective basis for moral positions of any sort. There *can't* be, due to Hume's guillotine. Lots of people don't like (say) murder, myself included, but that doesn't make it "objectively wrong" — I'd go so far as to say that a phrase like "objectively wrong" is nonsensical."

Palin/Beck 2012!!!

Hey, you've gotta try first before writing them off. Some people have poor reasoning practices, they just need a little help, and not just mentally inclined to believe crazy shit. Besides, maybe someone else would care about rational debate?

@fightoffyourdemons

"You're blaming religion for cultural outlooks, and I'm not so sure that's the right way to go. People and groups in different places that follow the same religion, even the same *branch* of the same religion, can end up with very different outlooks because their views are further filtered by their non-religious ties…

I'll tell you where morality DOESN'T come from: God. Here's an old argument, older than the Bible in fact.

Oh, I forgot to mention— Dawkins isn't careful enough to notice that all of the empirical facts about evolution do not entail the non-existence of God. An independent argument is required for that, and there are plenty of them.

This Monkey's gone to heaven.

@Tanooki Suit (nice Mario ref.) but, what about ten? Ten is the loneliest number since the number one. It's left out of the cannibalistic number ritual you speak of.

I was hoping for Carl Brutanananovski
