Re: Penn Jillette Talks Ron Paul, Barr on Glenn Beck
No need! I have a dry sense of humor that I don't get half the time so I don't expect others to :P

Re: Penn Jillette Talks Ron Paul, Barr on Glenn Beck
Dude, I was totally joking! I was talking about Beck the musician, not Glen Beck. That guy sucks in every conceivable way. The only good thing I can say is that he's crazy and not to be taken seriously. Unfortunately, that's true for the majority of the media personality right now and most people haven't realized that they're not doing news but entertainment.

Re: Gremlins 2: Fan Made Film Break
That was absolutely awesome! I loved gremlin's back in the day, and the nostalgia meter was running in the red on that one

Re: Penn Jillette Talks Ron Paul, Barr on Glenn Beck
Beck is NOT a clown! He is absolutely brilliant with VERY insightful political and social analysis! Have you even listened lately Spam? I don't think so! Let me remind you of Modern Guilt, Odelay, Midnight Vultures, need I go on? I've made my point! Unless you were talking about the douche on the video, then yeah, he's a joke :)

Re: 11 Year Old AR-15 Machine Gun Expert
lol, I'm SO glad to hear that! I'm looking forward to invading Canada even more than I was before! Is there a certain time that they disassemble their weapons? We could win without firing a shot :)

Re: Breaking the Silence
A friend of mine in Italy summed it up best I think. She said "We don't hold it against you that you put George Bush in the presidency, BUT, the second time? That's what we don't get..." I hear the Brittany Spears song in my head right now...

Re: Karl Rove Fled The Country To Avoid Congressional Hearings
No, he knows that he has broken the law for selfish reasons. He sleeps at night just fine I'm sure, but for very different reasons. I've heard it said that the secret is to put stacks of the hundred dollar bills you've made screwing American Democracy, and whenever you find yourself thinking of the dead bodies in New Orleans that you let die because of political reasons (here's the trick), you run your fingers over the edges of the bills and breath deeply.
If that doesn't work, I'm sure he just masturbates to thoughts of George and Dick :)

Re: Benny Hinn: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor
Lol, when you say the betterment of non-members, who are you talking about? Have you seen the types of lifestyles these mega church leaders are living? If not I understand. It is never pleasant to see such excesses and fraud. But if his 36 million dollar jet is an example of his "benevolence", then he is one benevolent m*****r f****r!

Re: Benny Hinn: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor
That's why I suggest you start the "Latter Day Church of Spam" and get in on those tax credits! If you promise to sacrifice a goat to the great God of canned meaty goodness, then consider me a convert! I'm too busy to be a disciple though, so don't bother asking (unless I get to be Judas...)

Re: Benny Hinn: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor
I have to preface what I'm about to say with this: I can't stand religion. I spent 4 years of my life studying the worlds religions (I have a piece of paper which I believe is called a "degree" to prove it) and see very few redeeming qualities to them on a personal level. All right, done with the preface and on to my point.
I've spent a considerable amount of time pondering what good can come of religion and I have one answer and that is community. I hear you now saying "psshh, community shommunity, what good is that?" Well unbeliever, let me tell you. Looking back in history I see a lot of harm that religion has done, but it has also been a huge force for positive change. The civil rights movement, India's freedom from Britain, the end of slavery both in the US and elsewhere, were all spearheaded by religious figures. Pastors, priests, yogi's and rabbi's are often, if not always, there to give both support and authority to the people to correct whatever injustice is taking place at the time. I don't see atheists having the same impact.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm not saying that religious people are morally superior to the atheist. I'm an atheist myself and would NEVER make that claim. It's just that the ability to mobilize in mass, which I believe is often needed for the powers that be to change their ways, seem to be the providence of the devout. Hell, I can't even get an atheists group going in the town I'm in. We're like herding cats!
I would LOVE to hear others thoughts on this!
