The Rocketeer's "special" younger sibling looks to follow in big bro's footsteps.

"Atheists prosyletize the same as religious people."

Nah, Pastafarianism is a whole lot funnier than any form of fundamentalist religion I've ever come across.

I'm an atheist with an open mind and I acknowledge it is possible that a god exists, but I simply believe that the likelihood of that possibility is so miniscule compared to there being no such supernatural entity pulling the strings of all Creation that to say that I give both sides a 50-50 chance of being right is…

I think you missed im.thatoneguy3's entire point. I'm not trying to be condescending, but I think you should re-read what he wrote in his post. The idea that it's just as likely that there exists a god as there isn't a god already gives too much credence to the theist side. That's my problem with agnosticism. I…

I was thinking more like this guy.

Great posts, man, but you sure do write a lot.

I wanted great things from this merger/buy-out, too. I know I'll get flamed for making a quick assessment of hardware from my brief visit to BB, but I was seriously disappointed when I first held the TouchPad in my hands. Awesome software in a glossy, thick frame. If it had been a 7-inch tablet, I probably wouldn't…

u mad.

We can't help some of our physical preferences, but we can try to overcome them, as hard as that might be. However, I get your point about how sometimes cultural behaviors can track along with race. As a vegan, graduate student dude who has played in hardcore/metal bands over the years, most of the women into the same…

I'm Hispanic, of Mexican and Nicaraguan descent, and even though I tell people that I was born in DC, I get the, "Where are you really from?" comments all the time. Sadly, in a post-9/11 world where I've been confused for Middle Eastern or getting questioned about my immigration status, the race question is rarely…

Having worked at a shelter, I knew people who'd break out in hives and a rash if they hugged one of the shorter-haired dog breeds with shiny coats, like pits and sharpeis. I agree that since animals can produce all sorts of proteins, a human can be allergic to various things produced by a pet, not just fur or dander. …

Simplicity x 1,000,000.

"I know not all TSA agents are pricks but man some of them make it so easy to genitalize the lot."

What makes it cool to me is with the ability to post videos online people can post optical illusions for so many people to try out at once. That would be the newsworthy part to me, IMHO.

Follow the links and you'll find that the finger-victim instigated by throwing the first punch. A lot of protesters have been assaulted themselves by the police, so I wouldn't be surprised that the reports say the opposite. That site is not exactly objective and skews the actual reports to their agenda. Tea Party…

That movie about the assassination of GW wasn't even American and it was a work of art (a British 'mockumentary'), not exactly a call to arms. The Weather Underground, I'll give you, but that was nearly 40 years ago, so not exactly relevant to the current tone of discourse in America. Leftists in the US haven't been…

If you can't distinguish figurative from literal language, then I can't be bothered to explain how the tone of our political discourse in this country is vastly different depending on which side you're on.

Ha, I totally feel the same way. But I'll take it further (because I'm neurotic).

What's worse, holier-than-thou commenters criticizing article authors or self-righteous assholes? I prefer assholes because at least they tend to be funnier. :)
