Re: Bottom: Sex Shop
Wow, they've come a long way from "The Young One's". They were hilarious to me when I was 18. Now that I'm 45, they're sad. :(

Re: 1986 Aerobic Championship
Hum, I watched this with no sound and it pegged 10 on the gay meter, but then when I turned it up and heard Devo, it seemed less gay. Why is that?

Comparing religion to societal acceptance of homosexual marriage are apples and oranges.

Re: OMGIGP and Internet Explorer 8
I know it's parody, but it's offensive coming from a Fortune 500 company. Shoot, it's offensive coming from any company that doesn't make it's profit from porn.

Re: Make A Billboard In The Word Of God
Did you know that there is only one sin for which there is no forgiveness?
Matthew 12:31-32 (Larger context: 12:22-37)
31 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 "And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the {age} to come.
Your words will matter in days to come.

Re: Andy Warhol Paints Debbie Harry on an Amiga
Wow, he 'painted' her. Is that a new word for 'digitize while tripping on red micro dot'?
I remember my Amigas. I had a 1000 w/ 20 GB hanging off the side, then a 500 and 2000 with a toaster. Man, those were the days. It may still be unsurpassed in awesomeness. Of course, Commodore lost, so there you go.

Re: The Price of Atheism
Wow, if you REALLY knew the price of atheism, you'd be shocked. But it's like credit, you don't have to pay til later.
Seriously, the girl just doesn't need to participate with the group prayer and such. That's been the case forever. And if anyone actually mocks and teases her, then shame on them, it's a terrible testimony for Christ and a typical mob behavior. Christians aren't immune.
Judging from her dads behavior, I guess that he has a large part to do with her animosity. Kind of like the dad in California that raised the "In God We Trust" stink on behalf of his daughter.

Re: Noam Chomsky & Peter Singer on Abortion
Wow! "Raise half a scum bag". Do you think digitalprimes friend considers herself "half a scumbag". Do you think she ever thinks to herself, "My dad was a rapist, I wish I was dead", or do you think that maybe she has a happy, productive life and is capable of loving people and being loved?
I wonder if you would make such comments to her face to face? "half a scumbag", astonishing.

Re: Noam Chomsky & Peter Singer on Abortion
How can your religious views not affect your thoughts? As a religious person, my thoughts are completely saturated with my religious views. They cannot be separated. If I professed to be a Christian, then ripped people off, you'd call me a hypocrite (unless my actions / statements somehow reinforced or agreed wit your views). Therefore, my views have to match my spiritual beliefs for me to be consistent.
I love the fact that so far, everyone is being civil!
Also, I don't want to subject women to butcher of illegal abortion. I would submit that there are other options that take the life of the baby into account, such as keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption. In my mind, the baby must always be part of the equation for any solutions that are sought.

Re: Noam Chomsky & Peter Singer on Abortion
Oh my goodness this post ticked me off! Let me count the ways....
Peter Singer's argument that abortion is available to wealthy women and not poor women is not relevant. So is Crack or Heroin, but does that make it right? No. Rich people have the means to cover unethical decisions, that's a given.
Regarding Chomsky's assertion that "if they really cared about children, they'd focus on other things" and mentions third world illness from unsafe drinking water, what is he really saying? Is he suggesting that only the situation with the greatest impact should be focused on? That's wrong as well. ALL of these conditions should be focused on, and different organizations focus on different projects. The Gates foundation is working hard to vaccinate kids in the third world and to eradicate malaria. It's reasonable to focus on more than one problem at a time, so this goofy argument doesn't hold water.
He talks about the US's miserly foreign aid contributions, "by quite a large margin" in his words. It appears true that as a % of GDP, the US "GOVERNMENT" gives less than others (emphasis mine). Look here...
http://www.globalissues.org/article/35/us-and-foreign-aid-assistance
Scroll down to the table labed, "Source: OECD Development Statistics Online), and look at tabs 2 and 3. The US gives .18 % of GDP, but dollar wise, this is vast - 25 Billion.
Anyway, this seems to totally ignore the faith based giving that comes out of the US. I tired to find some stats there, but had no luck with a quick search. I can only say that annectodaly, at my church, we give far more than .12 % of our incomes.
Chomsky says, basically, don't debate about the abortion foes because they don't care about poor kids dieing in the third world. HOGWASH.
Abortion happens in our backyard. Well, not my backyard, but you know what I mean. It's prevalent in all cities in the US. It's reasonable to focus on the problems that affect you, your family and your community.
Later Singer suggest that maybe we should define life as those who can think and want to go on living, and so it's not wrong to kill a fetus because it cannot think and has no concept of life. Holy crap! Don't you see why us Christians (and Jews and Muslims) easily think of Hitler when we hear this kind of disdain for human life? Hitler didn't think that Homosexuals or those with mental illness should be left to life either. That went well.
Wow. These are two intelligent men with a great grasp of language and they're able to justify horrible things with words. I'd hate to mean them at a debate because I lack the ability to effectively use rhetoric, but wrong is wrong.
I don't hate Chomsky. I've heard some great talks by him in regards to the US involvement overseas, but he's totally wrong on this subject.

Re: Rugrats: Pilot-Tommy and The Great White Thing
Rugrats is certainly weird. I love that show, even as a 44 year old guy, I get it. Kids don't get it. The guy that made the music for this program was Mark Mothersbaugh who was the lead singer for Devo. That should tell ya something! it's....subversive! That's the word.
You know what's funny - most of the best programs I remember on TV are kids shows.
Rugrats
Pete and Pete
Ren and Stemy
Now I'm showing my kids a bunch of Sid and Marty Kroft stuff from the 70's and I'm 99 44/100% convinced that those guys were trippin' when they made H.R. Pufnstuf and Land of the Lost, ect.
