Off to the pub, as the rest of you should.

Get off this list, it is time to get drunk.

(Unless you are Australian, in which case you have missed the boat on this one)

Happy New Year, Slime pitters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am an accomadationist as: -I want to distinguish between religions that will persecute me for being an atheist from those which are largely benign. -I am prepared to work with religions for causes that I think are good. Treating Anglicans and the Taliban as morally equivalent is the sort of extrem...

Colombiano ? yo vivia en Cali, mi novia es paisa. Estaba alla en Bogota el ano passado, vi los manifestationes estudantiles. Conoces San Antonio ? Lamento la demora, tuve un par de dias muy ocupados.

Hello Altair! Do you mind awfully if I ask whereabouts you're from in Colombia? Ayyy, gÃºevon como asi?! De k parte vienes pues? Que bacÃ¡n tener gente aca del paÃs mas chimba del mundo. I don't mind at all, I'm from Bogota, it was freaking awesome and unexpected reading the spanish part of your m...

Seriously. Why the fuck would I want to burn my eyes and perform fellatio on my brain by reading something from Oolong if I *know* it's going to be double dipped in shit?

From the pharyngulate, DLC a fellow old believer (i.e. who still spells it slimepit). > Why are people spelling it â€œslymepitâ€ and not slime pit or slime-pit or rotten lousy hole full of stinking diseased fly-ridden crap ?"

Sorry could you give a quick reference to what happened with Justicar ? Last I checked, he's still quite active on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/integralmath The last video was 5 days ago, so I'm not sure if you're asking for a more recent update. Only after the fact noticing this post was f...

Munkhaus, good to see you here again. Working on getting Colombiana to Canada, went back recently for a bit. Wife to be is confident about dealing with Canadian weather on basis of time spent in Bogota. BTW have you seen the latest term of abuse for slymepitters/non A+ atheists ? We are hyperskeptic...

On that note, is it you or the Swiss who yodel during sex ?

The CCP today is quite a different animal than in Mao's time, basically a corporatist, technocrat, authoritarian government that retains the trappings of communism. Some of my students and colleagues are party members, but it's largely a career move rather than any serious ideological statement. Fr...

In my view, our elites have abdicated their traditional responsibility to the social engineers, who have managed to achieve what they wanted largely unopposed, and the rest of the population has also gone along with it, so my attitude is pretty much to go *shrug*. I have more to say about this, and...

Interesting. It's the opposite in Finland, politicians from the Swedish-speaking minority want more immigrants to learn Swedish. Many of them have only found out later on that only 6% of the population speaks it as a first language and feel a bit cheated. I thought they only spoke Swedish on the Al...

It doesn't help that Red team and Blue team tend to get a substantial portion of their campaign money from the same donors, either.... Mass immigration is one issue where this shows. It lowers wages for workers so traditionally much of the left was against it. Cesar Chavez 's group used to beat up ...

Yeah, pretty much. I do think that the American right is far, far more of a threat to secular liberties than our left is, but our left has more of a disturbing tendency to try to muzzle people with whom they disagree. Both are, to some extent, a threat to the skeptically minded because whether you'...

Yes, I'm pretty sure he doesn't talk to people IRL in the same manner he does online or he'd have ample evidence that being called names is not worse than being ragdolled round a pub carpark.

Are we all on board with that ? Yep. I actually am generally libertarian leaning in principle, although I'm always open to hearing other points of view. I would call myself a social democrat, but I don't like mass immigration and I think that for a welfare state to work we need to balance the budge...

I'm a slyme-pitter, and I've never been a libertarian. Not even close. I've never posted or expressed anything racist, sexist, or homophobic, either. I've never been to an atheist/skeptics/freethinkers meeting, never belonged to any CFI branch, and given the type of whining duplicitous people who n...

Does anyone have the stamina to listen to the whole of Justicar's video ?

OK, PZ hates homos, (actually he probably doesn't but who cares).

Justicar is even more boring speaking than writing.

Hay. Just registered for the Pit. Took me a while to find an avatar. Anyway, Hi! A bit of background. I've been a fan of Erv for some years, mostly I read the sciencey bits.
