I am not sure, as in my fantasy technology works exactly as it does now and continues on. The point being that the apocalypse has always-already happened. Its called humanity.

I prefer the apocalypse where everything continues on exactly like it is right now, and slowly, very slowly, we arrive at the realization that world is already over.

Fighting genocide with genocide has never had exactly positive results. Generally when you want to take the moral upper hand in a war, you don't do it by becoming worse than the people you're fighting.

Iraq is a failed state. It needs to be allowed to collapse. Propping up a failed state with airstrikes simply means that whoever replaces IS will be even worse, and that cycle will continue until Iraq inevitably collapses.

We could have done none of that without the man with the flag on the moon.

Ah, the video where Ray Comfort theologically proves we should all put a penis in our mouths

How Christian of him!

There's an element of sexism to all the derision for Bronies. Not only are they fans of a kid's show, they're fans of a kid's show meant for girls. Fans of, I dunno, Adventure Time or ThunderCats don't get nearly as much scorn. Can't help but think it's because they're lowering themselves to like something feminine.

Living proof that interracial marriage does not cure racism like some people like to think.

Lotsa butthurt white people around these parts.

I feel like this article is off base and defensive of the rich. I think that when the influx is coming from a group of wealth and privilege the best analogy is not 'immigration' but 'colonization.'

"Obviously there is probably something going on with him that is deeper than an extreme case of "Nice Guy-ism,""

As I said in the introduction, scientific racism is when you use "science" to justify racism. Sometimes the science you use is legitimate science — like evolutionary biology — but it's twisted into pseudoscience. That said, phrenology and eugenics were once deemed "science." So I think instead calling these works of…

Which is precisely what scientific racism tends to be.

'Parting of the Waters' sounds like a euphemism for throwing up and having diarrhea at the same time, causing a small, quickly collapsing black hole to form in the upper small intestine.
