If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I just watched the latest tfoot video and I found it quite interesting. But his points on the FTB page views made me wonder: how much of the FTB page views is due to us slymers scouring the place for lolz? I wouldn't be surprised if that's a lot.

We all knew it but finally PZ decided to admit it as well. On economic issues, atheists as a whole ought to be behind reducing the rich-poor divide â€” itâ€™s the only rational position to take ... Atheism is ultimately going to have to be a progressive political force, fighting for inclusion, evide...

I don't understand PZ's disdain for the chart's basic conclusion: that our society values women for being young and pretty, and doesn't hold men to the same standard-- allowing old, ugly men to buy desirability with money and power; thus women face a social "expiration date". How is that different ...

Only a world passport? That means he needs a visa to get to Andromeda galaxy.

I finally caught up. Damn! I feel bad for missing 98% of the whole fiasco but still I got the lolz. Even though they were not freshly baked lolz, they were lols nonetheless. And it was an excellent performance on the FTB part and they definitely delivered the lolz that we are all desperately seek. ...

I have posted this before but I'll do it again: The fiction of memory It's a must watch for everyone. Everytime we try to remember an incident and describe to others, we change it a little bit.

Can you imagine the reaction to any man saying the following? Or even a woman who wasn't on team FTB/Skepchick? â€œâ€¦watching two hot college girls on a panel fight over the use of humor and controversy to spread the atheistic word. I kept hoping the [MALE] moderator would suggest we all head upst...

I disagree, Za-Zen. If a guy had been exchanging flirty texts with a woman for a while, then showed up uninvited at her hotel room, would he be justified in just barging in against her protests? Does a sexual text imply unending consent for all physical encounters? If the texts resume after the sit...

Argh fuck! I'm so behind! There's a fiasco with Christie Wilcox? WTF! I used to read her blog long time ago and she sometimes had really nice sciency posts. I'll have to fucking catch up argh!

On other news, I got a big LOL on Jerry Coyne complaining about bad lyrics specially since he likes Beatles who produced lyrical masterpieces such as "You say yes, I say no. You say stop and I say go, go, go. Oh, no You say goodbye and I say hello.", " We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow subma...

BTW, have you all seen this ted talk by Elizabeth Loftus on TED? It's very relevant to all these "eye-witness" testimonies that the no-longer-called skeptics circulate around their blogs as solid pieces of evidence.

I don't have access to Shermer's financial details but, at first glance, I can't see the cost being unmanageable. I think the bad publicity ship already sailed when Peez started flinging shit at him.

I wonder if "WithinThisMind" is male or female. It would be interesting if the cops ignored a woman/woman domestic violence call, or didn't take it seriously. Female.

Not to be too picky here but if you are going to criticize someone else for mind-reading skills then it is probably best not to put your own mindreading of Myers in the same post: "He's an extremely ideological person with an obsession with privilege because he also views himself an under-privilege...

PZ Myers broadcasts his feminism for the same reason Hugo Schwyzer does: to attract a legion of female admirers. But PZ's feminism is a surrogate for a swingin' sex life that could cost him his wife, kids, career, reputation. PZ positions himself as a harmless teddybear and racy-joke-teller; and wo...

Oops. Forgot the link: [youtube]wHEQtp1ozVA[/youtube]

I really like searching for old talks by Hugo Schwyzer, just for the lolz. Here, he talks about the "Myth of Male Weakness" and even asks them to chant "Men are not weak" or "I'm not weak". :lol

Okay, one last thing, this post by Namazie (I was thinking, maybe sometimes PZ should shut up and listen to her) is also relevant: http://freethoughtblogs.com/maryamnamazie/2013/06/20/two-new-reports-by-one-law-for-all/ A new report by One Law for All entitled â€œSiding with the Oppressor: The Pro-I...

And finally, does anyone find it funny that PZ calls Anne Marie Waters a "nutter" when she often partners up with Maryam Namazie in fight against Islamic misogyny? Also, given that she is very active in that area, shouldn't PZ trust her experience when it comes to interactions between the feminist g...

Whereas you, a non-Iranian living outside Iran, knows exactly what it's like. :clap: First, why are you so sure about the non-Iranian part?

From the dictionary wars: But the â€œmoreâ€ is what matters! So youâ€™re an atheist. Now what? Apparently, you and sbuh and spitz want to argue that being an atheist means nothing much of anything.

Actually, I take back my "Islamist Apologist" accusation against Marwa Berro (for now).

Damn, I wanted to put this in the above post: Here is a story, and with it a promise.

Alex Gabriel is probably the most deluded person on FTB. Read this guest post on his blog to see how much space he gives to Islamist apologists: http://freethoughtblogs.com/godlessness ... -personal/

PZ just admitted he was trolling his own blog. He initiated the definition debate to 'smoke out' thoughtcrime. Fucking idiot.
