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

Hey. Any of you looking for work? http://i.imgur.com/7LnTi.png Must not be fond of Peperamis or Slim Jims. After her comments towards Sara Mayhew, the list also includes: -- Must not be prettier than me -- Must not dress nicer than me -- No dykes* * Not an anti-homosexual slur, its just that lesbia...

Right, I get you, and thanks for replying separately. The important thing I think is to stop thinking of progressive taxation in terms of 'justice' or 'punishment'. Progressive taxation rejigs the economy to be more equal, and thats a good thing (so long as it works; tax loopholes need to be addres...

I think I may have addressed your main point in my post above, but since you are cool and took the time to make a decent reply to me; I want to respond to you directly :) I listed all of the levies and VAT not to claim these as progressive taxation. I know they're not. I did it to illustrate the to...

Hello again :) Well, the important thing to remember when discussing tax policy with Norwegians is that we currently have a total tax level of about 70 % of our income. In 'Mmerica I believe your have quite a lower total rate. Note: I include VAT and other levies in the total tax level. For example...

I've blogged a summary of the business with PZ Myers and the GravityLight (lumengate?) http://edgepenguin.com/content/enlightenment.html If I've got anything wrong I'd appreciate it pointing out. The 132nd word should be "They" I'm not rising to this :P ho hum...you can lead a horse to water..... s...

*snip* I didn't say that atheism leads to socialism. I said that Republicans/Christians/Apologists/etc would use that argument with double force now that A+ tries to link atheism to socialist isssues. My whole point is that atheism is not about socialism. Or capitalism. Or squirrels. Or bagels. It ...

okay, so its over 48 hrs since I put the video up, ~50k views and a 95 % approval rating, and yet this is greeted by complete silence from baboon central. That's unprecedented! Do they realize that they have been damned by their own words and the best thing they can do is ignore it and hope no one ...

I'm fairly sure that 'aspies' have roughly the same range of language to throw at people as 'neurotypicals'. Lets be honest here; Asperger's Syndrome is not a hugely debilitating condition. Suffers still have have easily enough mental capacity to be dicks to people. The reason for all this seems to...

About Joé McKen (Bio I found on-line). He does not hide himself at all on-line. :doh: "My name is Joé McKen... I suppose my double-jackpot of mild Asperger's and mild Tourette's may count for that in some way or another. Welp, that explains a lot... Only TWO neurological disorders? TWO?? Fucker n...

Mild = self diagnosed normally. I've seen so many self-diagnosed autistics online, but this is the first time someone has claimed Tourettes.

I said hello elsewhere, but I someone said I should mirror it here:

Hi! I've already been talking in this thread a while!

I personally don't like feminism because it blames the entire other gender for all its ills and refuses to admit that the same ills of a patriarchal society also negatively affect that other gender, but I look at MRA sites and they do the very same thing, refusing to acknowledge women's struggles a...

On the topic of lamps for Africa, I see other skeptics were alerted to it and discussing it at the same time as Becky: how_many_skeptics.jpg To be fair, most note that they are questioning the numbers, and use words that recognise they might be wrong (even including Becky) unlike PeeWee who leaps i...

This is the voice of unreasoning paranoia. THEY are a single, homogenous entity, with a single agenda against US.

A parody account is a 'thug' now? Last time I checked, 'thug' implied some kind of physical violence. Histrionic much?

I wasn't on the forum, I was on twitter as @atheism_plus (as opposed to @atheismplus, another parody that was more overt) I lasted right until I got bored, outed myself, and then got spammed with malicious reports and had the account suspended. WHY DID YOU OUT YOURSELF Several reasons 1) It was no ...

I wasn't expected to be well known, but I was aware my Poe antics had been commented on here at the time :)

Hi, I've lurked here a bit, thought I'd post. I'm EdgePenguin AKA Pete Hague. Some of you may remember me from my brief stint running the second atheism plus Poe account. I also used to contribute to the Pod Delusion - although things happened there that were reminiscent of a milder form of FtB/Skep...
