Oh... let me guess... you happen to know that all fetuses are just parasites. Yeah. Got it. People like you make me wish I was a Christian.

Brive: It's not that she slept with people. It's not that she slept with people in the industry. ... And it is largely about how she chose to lecture others on their morals and bad treatment of women, etc etc - the usual SJW lecturing - while being totally hypocritical - and then had the SJW crowd ...

Which brings me to a point I've been musing about concerning apocalyptic/mass extinction events: what does the individual cares if it's the end of their species? In the end, it's just an individual dying, probably with many other individuals of the same species. People, animals, insects, plants... ...

Yes. I think you and I agree. Others here are defending him...which is totally their choice....but.... I really do think Dawkins is not a very solid thinker when it comes to ethics. He really should stop tweeting. My niece's family is gonna think I agree with Dawkins since he is "king of the atheis...

Like I said, I'm sorry. The cavalier vibe I picked up from the comments really rubbed me the wrong way. I understand that for many folks it would be a heart rending decision. Doubly so if financial concerns took the choice out of their hands. The wording such as " try again" kinda set me off. I lov...

I am about one post from putting jet_lagg on ignore. I don't have time for this much stupid. Or perhaps s/h/it really doesn't know the history of this topic. Yeah I put him on ignore a few days ago for the same kind of dumb, trying to redefine dictionary and legals terms, throwing strawmen around l...

I've never had much time for Myers. I've always found him too needy, disingenuous and pandering. When, a long time ago, people used to post links to his blog on other fora, I would occasionally read him and find him needlessly obnoxious, he always seemed to me like a wannabe. In short... https://i....

My initial comment was more of a humorous jab than anything relevant. Seeing how puritan the US still is, it's not much of a shocker. I live in a city with a wonderful beachfront. I can actually see it 50 meters away from my window, and many (most?) women go topless for the suntan. Almost no one pa...

Ooh. That's good. It was Welch that carried the strawman through, twisting "rights" into "laws" into "casual sexism" .... not yourself And as to "thats good" it's interesting, but more accurately framed as "public indecency" and the definition happens to include breasts ... as to whether that's a r...

Didn't say it was. Just pointing out the issue isn't "rights". Oh, I agree w/ your points. Just adding a thought about the efficacy (or lack thereof) of current-day feminists to reduce sexism in society. So, where did I say sexism didn't exist still? I actually said of course it exists, and will al...

"...and we can argue whether to call it legal rights or de facto rights..." If you think about that for a bit and still don't understand why your challenge to find legal evidence misses my intention, then we're definitely wasting our time. Rights - inalienable rights as granted by the US constituti...

You're already backing away from the "literally zero" position to an "Almost entirely in law" position that is more accurate IMO, so I'm not sure how much I want to press the point. Like most disagreements I have on the pit, this is more a matter of me taking offense at certain levels of rhetoric t...

"Literally zero" is obvious hyperbole. For example, the studies of musician hiring practices clearly demonstrate sexism in the west. And while the wage gap is not nearly as wide as reported by your average feminist, nearly everyone who studies it admits it exists, only disagreeing on the extent and...

Thought of the day: Is 'feminism' really a problem (in the way Thunderf00t describes it), or is it simply that the SJWs successfully invaded feminism in the same way they've been attempting to invade everything else? Feminism is fine, and feminists of the past have achieved remarkable progress, and...

JT just went up a thousand % in my books. To admit that he was once part of the PZ call out culture, but now admit he was wrong and regrets it - massive kudos to him And I wish there was any lower that PZ and his crowd could sink to, but I can't hold any more contempt for human beings than I do for ...

But PZ is a fucking hypocrite thinking he can erase what he perceives as a lessor evil by casting it into a bigger evils shadow. PZ belittles a man who made hundred of millions of people smile and laugh and have a truly better day than they had before they heard him - he does it by belittling peopl...

I'd like to reiterate that if posting on the Pit is enough to qualify one as a woman-hating rape supporter, surely reading the Pit every day without fail is likely to have some corrupting effect? ^Pictured: The good ship Peezusanian Christos travels through the Warp Pit on its daily outrage search....

FtB logo is definitely from the X-Files ... a set of wildly unbelievable stories, about supernatural beings and conspiracy led organisations I guess they thought "The Truth is Out There" was a good hidden message.

Hey facist tit!!!

Could we get the number of people blocking us displayed on our posts??? Would be a real cool badge of honor!!

My position is simple in this sense. No child ever is a justifiable casualty of war. Unintentional death happens in war, yes, but that is not what we are seeing in Gaza, it is at it's best a total disregard for the life of children or an actual targeting of children. Israeli/Palestinian is a non fa...

this is one of those instances where "what about the children" is an actual fucking valid argument.

Wow now even major mews organisations are reporting the Dawkins tweets and how the Internet hates him

News.com.AU and mirror.co.UK have full stories including how he is an idiot for complaining at having his honey confiscated

I used to like Myers-Briggs (I score INxP), but now I question its validity and scientific basis. Experiments have shown that a well written astrology profile written for nobody in particular will have almost everyone thinking "wow, this fits me so well!" With that in mind it's less impressive that...

Oh, fer gawd's sake. I haven't gone to look; does anyone from PZ's usual horde call NoR out for this abuse-nonbelieving stance? Or is it A-okay in this instance because the person claiming abuse is allied with the wrong tribe? Commentator: "I was raped, but I can't give any details" Baboon: "we bel...

My vote for stupidest comment on the latest "Dawkins is terrible" Pharyngula thread: <SNIP> Yep, the law doesn't distinguish between different kinds of homicide in the least.

Is it so hard to believe some guy wanted to have sex with her, and ended up creeping her out on the elevator (and that she then might have trouble describing exactly WHY he creeped her out)?

Oafie cannot help but tweet nonsense at RD. I am sure he is feeling like that joint statement was worthwhile about now. I can't see how the agreement was bad for Dawkins.

Earlier in the post, Benson says Mark Senior is "acting like an asshole". I think the asshole is the person who calls somebody a liar based on extremely weak google-fu.

I did something inimical to PZ's mindset and decided to actually do a search for something like that quote.

No I do not understand her point at all. Bottom line is she says she likes being degraded which is fine, I understand that quite a few people enjoy this.

I posted the Spelkeâ€“Pinker debate here several months back. It's definitely worth watching. Unlike PZ Myers, Spelke and Pinker are intelligent and knowledgeable on the subject.
