"Laden and Myers"

It is unimportant. Its - at best - a Â£10 purchase of a book some guy might be disappointed by, but probably not. If only he was aware of the truth!! You don't mind being lied to by a pair of dissimulating fucks like Laden en Myers? That's unimportant? Then I suppose that if you went to a restauran...

How do brownnosing sycophants react to information that paints their guru in an unfavourable light? Well, like Louis here: <snip> â€¦Greg Laden brazenly lied about the nature of the book in his review of The Happy Atheistâ€¦ Never read it. Was I meant to? Will there be a test? Do I have to pass some...

How does Peezus know that it's the same guy? I presume he immediately blocks both the e-mail address and the IP address of the banned commenter. The next banned commenter would have had different e-mail and IP addresses and a different 'nym. How can he possibly know they are the same? Peezus is jus...

I came across this video of James Joyce reading from Ulysses . Thanks to Project Gutenberg it was easy to locate the corresponding passage in the text.

PZ Myers debating Ken Hovind?

That will look good on PZ's cv, not so good on Hovind's.

I'm starting to think that if you and Jan aren't the same person, you must be close because you continually make the same logical errors. :lol: But now that you mention it, I usually find myself agreeing with Windy's opinions.

You dumb fuck. Now you're confusing evolution and molecular evolution. The evolution of DNA is not the theory that we have been discussing. Stop using equivocation to avoid admitting you're wrong. If you want to start doing that, then why not include social evolution, microprocessor evolution, etc....

Jan/Bill, I didn't follow the discussion very closely, so definitely feel free to tell me my points are naive and already answered. Jan, you seem to be offering the phrase "a phenotypic change at the population level" as a direct quote from Bill to define evolution. I cannot see too much wrong with...

Believe only the argument that makes sense. Jan Steen and I have disagreed, at least partially, as a result of trying to address too many points at one time. Jan is write to point out that "a phenotypic change at the population level" is not an accurate defintion of evolution. I wrote that in a hur...

I'm beginning to think that the term 'Social Justice Warrior' is really a misnomer. Yes, I know that 'Warrior' is meant ironically, but even so, SJW can still be read as "someone who fights for social justice, albeit it in a comically inept way." A harmless idiot. An idiot with good intentions. But...

Always believe the Dutch genre painter. Especially one from the 17th Century.

You may be right about the pub and brew, but I'm inclined to think that Jan is simply angry that I chose to criticize how evolution is explained and referred to by biologists. Rather than argue a concept, Jan simply introduces new terms. Each time I explain why the first term does not, in fact, mea...

Here we a blatant example of cultural appropriation: Frenchman Maurice Ravel using a Chinese style of music. No doubt the Social Justice Warriors are on the case as we speak. Listen to it before it is taken down.

This PZ quote here is apt - "When a member of a marginalized group tells a member of a privileged group that their efforts, no matter how well-meaning, are wrong, there is one reasonable response: Shut up and listen. You might learn something. There is also a terrible response: arguing back. It alw...

First off, it is not a concise way of saying the same thing. It is an erroneous way of expressing a scientific concept. The turtle did not actively develop anything, which is what the statement implies, to protect itself from predators. Rather, it gained an advantage against predation as a result o...

Many biologists have a tendency to give agency to evolution. They say things like, turtles developed hard shells to protect themselves from preditors. You hear this all the time from biology professors and it is dead wrong. It also goes a long way to confusing the lay public about evolution. The ac...

One must admit that Peezus has bred a really faithful crop of sycophants there. They swallow everything. Jim Jones and David Koresh would envy him. It's a sad spectacle to see the Huggers stumbling, falling, flailing, trying to outdo each other, foaming at the mouth from the frothy kool-aid, defendi...

All right. So the Huggers' strategy is: (1) Feed the "troll", discuss the troll, deride the troll, in short, grab at every excuse to ignore the substance of the OP and potential problems with it. (2) Point out that rape is much more common and serious than false rape accusations (remember, these are...

It will be fascinating to see how the Huggers maintain their position of "always believe the accuser" when the accused is called PZ Myers or Jason Thibeault. I expect to see some William Lane Craig-level apologetics on that thread. Come on, Social Justice Warriors, give it your best shot. :popcorn:...

When I see Oggie preaching about sexism I am reminded of child-molesting priests berating their parishioners for buying nudie magazines. The lying creep has no shame. He is a pure sociopath if there ever was one. O brave new blog, that has such people in't.

Good post about Social Justice Warriors by Will Shetterly, who is writing a book about the phenomenon:

My snapshot of Joyce's tower.

http://i.imgur.com/y3JXCrX.jpg

I was in Dublin last weekend. Tried to visit the James Joyce museum at Sandycove. It's in the famous tower that features in the opening scene of Ulysses. According to a sign at the entrance it's open all days. It was closed. Well, at least I have seen the "snotgreen sea". It really is snot green.

Irish sounds like Klingon.

No prizes for you, Paddy. But your comic looks good.

Here's a suggestion for Peezus.

This would be more appropriate for his audience, I'd say. A warrior type they can identify with.

Come to think of it, this would be even better:
