The boas of your audience? For those who are picturing incredibly camp political rallies, let me assure you I meant bias.

The fascination with Islam is something that I really struggled to understand for a while. Islam is incredibly backwards in all the aspect that matter to Social Justice: the cultures inspired by Islam have huge problems with sexism, homophobia, bigotry against the unbelievers, etc. Shouldn't a cohe...

So Atheist Ireland is to brief the UN in Geneva while Peezus is going to give a talk about a language he doesn't speak in a country he doesn't recognise? I hope the venue has multiple means of emergency egress, lest they place all their Basques in one exit. I'll get my coat. Fuck me! That was possi...

Classical mythology? AAARGH! What I've learned from SJW feminists: Women are too emotionally immature for college. They should be kept at home until a suitable man appears, ready to marry them and assume responsibility for overseeing their poor decision-making abilities.* * Flagrantly stolen from I...

The strange thing about Elevatorgate was how Rebecca Watson managed to get so many victim points just by being asked to take part in consensual coffee in a lift. If only that guy had written a blog post asking people to share a lift with him ,possibly platonically, it could all have been avoided. B...

Incidentally, wanting to see evidence when someone is accused of a crime is perfectly natural and appropriate. It's not, as SJWs so often insinuate or outright claim, horrible oppression or asshole hyperskepticism. Of course. "Listen and believe" is an only slightly more sophisticated version of "a...

"Mr. Shermer coerced me into a position where I could not consent, and then had sex with me." She is probably trying to reference being guided to his room not hers and then having unplanned sex in the haze. Its pretty ambiguous though.

Like probably many others, I grew up with the idea that "hugo award winner" meant quality writing. Using awards to measure work's quality is akin to using damp noodles in architecture for measurement purposes. The best way to snap out of awards' charm is to participate in one.

Arthur Chu thinks every man is a rapist and abuser because he wants to rape and abuse women. That's like all the anti-gay pastors who think homosexuality is an evil, insidious corrupting force that Satan infects people with to make them want to suck dicks.

've seen Age of Ultron and you're basically right. The SJWs, as usual, are too (intentionally) thick to understand that when she's telling the Hulk that she can't have children and she's a monster, too she's not telling him that she's a monster because she can't have children. Reminds me of somethi...

Ok, I find myself being pushed more and more to accept the Right political spectrum views on some things due to SJW cretins. I mean, I'm still on the left side of the Left, but sometimes find myself agreeing with comments on such publications as the Daily Mail and other Right-leaning media. And thi...

There's a bit in that episode I love but can't find on YouTube. The scene cuts to them all sitting round the table on board ship, arguing. There's a kind of general hubbub, but booming above it all is Tom Baker's gloriously resonand voice, enunciating "RHUBARB! RHUBARB! RHUBARB!" as clear as day. A...

Tom Baker is indeed marvellous. There are some old-Who fans who disdain new-Who because there's too much comedy and too much sexual chemistry between the Doctor and his companion, not like the good old days of Tom Baker. When Douglas Adams was script editor, and Tom and Lalla Ward were running arou...

And I'm pretty sure I've read a funny story about Tom's scarf. Something like the knitting lady couldn't stop, and that's why it was so long. Yeah, I think they asked her to knit a scarf, gave her rather more wool than necessary, and she assumed she had to use it all and just kept going. Tom Baker ...

Already "distancing" himself from skepticism, can't he take the full step and renounce atheism too?

I haven't seen that Sargon video, but the rhetoric of actual racists is remarkably close to what SJWs say about white men and straight people. The entire SJW agenda is based on racism and sexism.

@Ken D I can't believe what I'm seeing. Is the author saying we need to ask the creator's permission before we masturbate over their fictional characters?

One of his best. I can't believe the feminists are actually using "rape" to mean something other than being forced to have sex. It's become a parody of itself.

Quite a few of the people I've seen dismissed as MRAs (as if that automatically debunks their argument) actually identify as feminist, or have simply quoted from the wrong kind of feminist. The reason I gave up on MRAs is that they basically are feminists, using feminist analysis on a different set...

I beg to differ. I think there is plenty evidence that he did not exist - mainly based on on similar stories about god-like figures at the time.

Seriously? He comes off as worlds more trustworthy there than Carrier does. May I ask why? The only valid argument I have seen for historicity of Jebus is that "most historians agree".

Also, about Brianna Wu, I have no problem with trans people identifying as women or men if they so desire.

Had a brief look at Miller's post on Shermer. It appears that, despite having received a cease and desist letter from Shermer's lawyers, PZ's associates are doubling down and continuing to defame him. If Shermer does decide to sue and wins, that'll up the damages I would have thought.
