Hehe. AtheismPlus never fails to deliver.

I wonder what Ayaan Hirsi Ali would say about AtheismPlus. Does anyone know if the actual leaders of the "new atheism" movement have been vocal about the hacks over at FTB and AtheismPlus? And before anyone jumps on me for being a n00b who doesn't pay attention: I know Dawkins has made the "Dear Mus...

Just had the weirdest fucking dream about moving to a pioneer town in the US West and having Arnold Schwarzenegger as the mayor of that little community. What do you guys think the AtheismPlus people think of Arnold? Do you think they think of him as a double-plus good non-conformist revolutionary o...

So, in the spirit of the Pit being a place to laugh (and laugh and laugh) at the derpydurrps over at AtheismPlus, I give to you Setar's latest gold-nugget: So, I'm in the Occupy BC group on Facebook and someone posts this article about the police (linked because it's an interesting read), calling ou...

Hehe. Don't worry, it wasn't cocaine. It was ~~crystal meth~~ lumps of cane sugar.

In case no one here saw it yet... [youtube]X-rdhS-MkKc[/youtube] Awesome video! I saw your Melodramatic Melody video as well and I like what you have to say and the way you say it. Also, your voice is fucking hot (oh, was that sexist? Did I just rape WB?! Oh noes! Someone call the PZ police!). This...

I feel like maybe I'm doing teh spammage, but I can't help myself. PZ is such a source of entertainment it's impossible not to get carried away. So, PZ actually linked to an interesting article written by a feminist. It's here: http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-views/dl-opinion/the-14-kinds-of-se...

David B, the only one in the comment section over at FTB actually coming off as somewhat rational and having posted a looong article referring to an elderly woman talking about the dangers of radical feminism and what feminism originally was; he got this calm and educated response from PZ Myers (teh...

[quote="Generic APlusser & PZ Myer disciple]This â€œvery public infightingâ€ is [hopefully] pushing the sexist atheists to the fringes and allowing more diversity within the movement.

I doubt PZ means to imply in #42 that the only (or primary) reason we should care about this is that itâ€™s in the interests of the atheist movement to do so; but in any case, there are much better reasons to fight against bigotry. If somehow doing that would make the atheist movement less effectiv...

My official response to such diminution of a real problem: FUCK YOU. This is a serious, substantive difference of opinion, and I think how we resolve it will shape the direction the atheist movement takes. If we minimize it and accept the Thunderf00t position, we will dribble away and become increa...

[spoiler] But this is not why I call myself anti-socialist. I call myself anti-socialist because the socialist parties of Norway have political platforms that go against every fibre of my being. [/spoiler] Uh, ok.. you never really directly addressed what I said about flat tax, just talked about "if...

I am not libertarian (lots of reasons). I don't agree with you on your analysis of Cuba. The ruling party of Cuba is The Communist Party of Cuba ( Partido Comunista de Cuba ). And I feel I have to repeat myself: Communism is a socialist ideology , but socialism isn't necessarily the same as communi...

[spoiler] Yeah, I am an anti-socialist myself (here in Norway, not to be confused with anti-leftist or anti-progressive or anti-liberal or whatever you guys operate by in 'Merica), but it is a common misconception that socialism = communism.

Got through Ulysses, but didn't make it passed page two of Finnegan's Wake. Although I finished Don Quixote it is the only book that I have flung at the wall on more than one occasion.

[spoiler]Not meaning to pick on you by the way. I just feel that this is an important point to make from time to time. The worst crime of the FTB/Skepchick/A+ jackasses, ignoring the part about them being a bunch of pan-handling New Media Douchebag grifters, is contaminating atheism and skepticism ...

And yes, 'libertarian' is another one of those words that's become distorted with time, especially when capitalised. I call myself a liberal, but so many people these days think _that_ is a synonym for 'socialist' as well! It's really quite a terrible mess. Very different in Norway: Kommunist = Com...

That looks like it is from the safespace forum? Hi :) So sorry, didn't know there were a 'free' A+ forum; I thought you were making fun of the Aplussers beloved "safe space" (such a misleading term, it's the least safe place to post on the internet.

So, Matt Dillahunty who makes a video calling Tf00t a liar because he pointed out that Matt Dillahunty is a fan of blocking/banning everyone he doesn't agree with (or who supports someone he doesn't agree with) just blocked me because I wrote a comment where I disagreed with him and told him what I ...

Setar comes off as the most disgusting human being I have ever encountered. What a fucking self-pitying arrogant twat/bitch/cunt/asshole.

Oh, was that sexist? Boo fucking hoo; stop complaining and grow a pair. Oh, was that sexist again? Fuck you.

This poor Rick fellow, who unfortunately are having some massive self- confidence issues and as such have been shamed into growing a mangina, were trying to say that he agreed that this 'potential prostitutes' website is appalling.

Top of the mornin' to ya, people :-)

It's been years since I have been this hung over.

Aaand it's my birthday. Same procedure as every year, hung over as fuck on my b-day.

Let's make sure 2013 is the year the AtheismPlus folks are driven out into a dark abyss of total irrelevance.

Actually, you might enjoy this one: In his latest video appearance he states that he 'there are no bridges that have been burnt' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jszbryanTeU&t=19m10s .. and this was one of PZ last blogs about me. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/08/10/thunderf00tphil-mason...

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...

Everyone should pay the same rate and imho this is fair as, again, 28 % of a million is more than 28 % of 100k. Does everyone in Norway earn above 100k? Whats 28% out of the minimum wage? Hi there :) Um, no? Of course not everyone makes more than 100k. What's the point you are trying to make here? ...

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...

Oh okay. Well, don't use the term "anti socialist" everywhere cos Ive never seen that definition of anti socialism in my life.
