I’m not sure if Newt ever really had his shit, but if he did, it was lost a long time ago.

In fairness to Pat Robertson, this isn’t even close to the most ignorant or outlandish thing he believes. That guy just doesn’t do The Reality.

Nothing much to do with feminism. Getting all pissy and upset over abortions is just really fucking stupid.

Damn....these ladies are even making the Jill Stein supporters look smart. That takes some work.

Her and Carson really do belong on the same stage though. She’s dumber than shit. And if you get him on any topic that isn’t brain surgery, so is he.

People...still...pay...attention...to...Eminem?

They were really funny in high school.

I really do not understand the outrage over this legal decision. By all means, be pissed off about our gun laws, they totally suck. But this decision appears to be completely reasonable based upon those laws.

So...the branch of government charged with interpreting the law as it is written interpreted the law...

Maybe? I don’t know that I have a good or easy answer to this one. The trouble with a situation like that is that the younger person has to navigate some potentially creepy and exploitative assholes. I wouldn’t say that they’re exceedingly common, but they definitely exist, and a younger person has to figure out…

What do you mean, “welcome”? We were here the entire time. All that changed is that we can talk about it without being jailed or murdered.

What exactly is the issue? She think’s it’s a dumb/tacky/ineffective protest. People can think that...it doesn’t make them stupid/evil/racist.

No arguments here. I would have no serious problem with religion if religious people just left the rest of us alone with their kooky ideas. The trouble is, that has never happened. It’s nice that some treat is as a personal thing that they shouldn’t bother others with, but that is very much the exception, and…

It’s kind of hilarious that Christians try to claim credit for the entire abolition movement. They’re very quick to forget that their religion was one of the favorite moral justifications for the practice.

Cool with slavery. The guy had every chance to say “hey, maybe don’t own people”. He certainly went on plenty of idiotic rants on other subjects. But he didn’t do that. Every time the topic came up, he was at worst neutral toward owning other people. Luke 7:9 is where he “marveled” at the Centurion’s ability to…

I don’t think that I ever suggested that there was any altruism involved...

Luke 7:2, Luke 12:46-47.

As much as I do not like the Catholic Church (that is a lot, by the way), and as badly as they’ve handled the sex abuse committed by its clergy, I don’t really find much fault in this particular action.

Hardly “individual instances” when they’ve been happening frequently for the better part of 2000 years. The problems with Christianity aren’t even limited to the bad behavior of many of its members. Its beliefs are pretty hopelessly screwed up and insane. That bad behavior from Christians isn’t even more common…

...That’s what religions are.
