How do you know how attractive you really are? Or how attractive your face is? Put up a picture somewhere and run a poll?

This morning, I watched Rebecca Watson's Skepticon 5 talk ( http://t.co/ValoUwNi ) on the way to work, so you all don't have to watch it yourselves. Here are the highlights. Evolutionary psychology is wrong You know, it really pisses me off how much they try to smear evolutionary psychology. I am g...

The FC5, Baboons and Skepchicks are valiantly waging a war against this outbreak of 18+ maturity, where adults need to comply with strict guidelines to enforce their behaviour and responsibilities!!! For some reason Watson is exempt from these guidelines though, right? She can have sex when she spe...

Here is an article about the Krauss affair:
http://www.skepticismandethics.com/2011 ... yells.html

gawd Im so out of touch too...but then I have the moral high ground cos I dont read FtBs. what was their gripe with Krauss A friend of his was accused of having sex with prostitutes. Some of them were alleged to be underage (like 16).Krauss' crime was that he basically said that he couldn't believe...

A few pages back, someone urged some of the numerous lurkers to speak out, so here I am. Phil (Giordano) what is wrong with you?!?!?!! Judging by the dark circles under the eyes in your new avatar,you are either the world's worst heroin addict or you are a vampire like the current Pope Nosferatu Be...

I have mentioned before that it has become apparent to me, that the current social environment is among other things, so oppressive to males in general that there are going to be some interesting repercussions down the years. The kind of feminism practised for the last 20 years is starting to bear ...

If you haven't yet, try typing "PZ Myers is" into Google's search engine to see what it auto suggests. It really shows how far he has fallen. It's also hilarious. I see what you mean. http://i46.tinypic.com/mv68uo.jpg Of course, were PZ to comment on that embarrassment, he would pretend it's a badg...

One of the things I've learned about from The Pit is how the FC5 has smeared Shermer. I knew that they had dragged Krauss through the mud unfairly (IMHO), but I really learned of the Shermer stuff from you guys. I first heard about it at the JREF forums. I have to admit that with the way people wher...

Aw, thatnks. Of course, Ophelia Benson reads this and now you will be on her official enemies list. And then Melody Hensley, Rebecca Watson...we haven'ty quite figured out the calling tree, but it's there. I'm sorry. I will go have a look on the YouTube comments. It's just while I am not actively d...

In almost all A/S forums I've seen, Myers, Watson, Benson, Steffuny, etc have close to zero reputation left, due to them aggressively burning their bridges to drum up drama and support. The online schism is big and growing, and I'd expect it to start spilling over into meatspace in the near future,...

Hello all you guests, Twenty-four at last count. Go right ahead and post something. It's fun and you won't end up as evil as you were told. Although, pretty evil by any reasonable standard. No, seriously, despite the old hag's tales, posting in the Slyme Pit will not automatically turn you into a h...

Or just don't show, ala Greta at FreeOK it was? Because OMG ABBIE WAS GOING TO HURT HER. Oh Jesus Fucking Christ, that was over (tactical) fear that Abby was going to "do something"[TRADE MARK SIGN]? I swear, we need a clearing house to compile all instances where FTB/CFI/SCK tools behaved like abs...

Apologies! However, the sweaty bollocks thread sounds intriguing ...

The reason I had any lingering warm, fuzzy feelings for CFI is because I used to attend their events years ago when I was a young little thing. I met a lot of really great people and made a lot of friends. Of course, that was about a decade ago so a lot has changed I guess.

That one is going to hurt though. I used to love CFI. CFI skidded off the rails when Kurtz was ejected and has never really got back on track. Kurtz's departure was not as amicable as they would have you believe . It is now an ideologically based organisation, as the Hemsley appointment demonstrate...

No, but that is easy for ...

Also, if the Elevatorgate blog is obsessive or stalking behavior then the guy that runs the StopSylviaBrowne.com website must be stalking her , right? He must be obsessed. Perhaps we should alert the authorities. Was James Randi stalking Peter Popof?

Rebecca has to endure completely unjustifed criticism ::cough:: If Watson was tarred and feathered on prime time teevee, in the traditional 18th century manner, and volunteered a full confession and apology for all of her slanderous and criminal bullshit, we might approach parity where anything mor...

BTW, wasn't Hensley the one that tweeted gendered insults to Sara Mayhew?

As evil as money is, when its under threat of being taken away, it will get the ball rolling on such issues. I've considered doing this. There's just one thing and I hate to even post this, but...I'm a little afraid of outing myself as a critic. I am a student. The grad school I hope to get into is...

One good thing that has come from all of this, I now know what organizations I will NOT be giving my money to anymore. I am currently a student so I really have no income. However, my husband makes very, very good money. We have been generous donors to CFI in the past. I have also donated to the Fl...

Well, I guess she told me... http://www.alstefanelli.com/mhtw.jpg Poopyhead. Wait, is she inviting us to know sexists and MRAs? Or did she mean "known", which she would have to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt? And even if it could be demonstrated (which it almost certainly cannot), so what? Sure...

This is going to sound crazy, but it seems to me that both forums are â€˜safeâ€™ in some sense, and that this is a huge part of their respective draws. The â€˜pit is a place where you can safely disagree with the conventional wisdom in terms as colourful or bland as you like, whereas A+ is safe fro...

Thanks everyone! Sorry about the crappy first post but I had taken an Ambien because I couldn't get to sleep. Usually it takes about 45 minutes for an Ambien to "kick in" for me. However, that night it only took 25 minutes! Anyway, happy to awake and here.

Hello everyone! This is my first post. I have lurked on here on and off for quite awhile. I decided to take the plunge and register. I hope this post makes some semblance of sense because my Ambien seems to suddenly be kicking in early. So, I will be going off to bed now. I hope my next post is much...
