Here's my response to Amanda Marcotte's "Atheism is Consistent with Feminism and Pro-Choice Positions."

What a mess her post was.

Did someone on here do this comment ?

And the "atheist and feminist" bloggers spake all of these words, saying,
We are the Lord thy God who has brought thee out of the land of religious dogma, out of the land of misogynist bondage.

Sorry to break up the Viz-inspired malarkey, but I had a chuckle at a moment in the latest SGU podcast (I listen so you don't have to).

Steve Novella was talking about a letter he received from a practictioner of iridology, and was running through the list of logical fallacies contained in said letter. Anyway, because the letter writer was named "Gale", Steve kept referring to the writer as "she". After about 5 minutes of discussing this letter and the logical fallacies involves, Becky suddenly pipes up, stressing that it might not be a women. Steve quickly realises his terrible faux pas and agrees that it could just as likely be a bloke. For a brief moment you can almost hear Queen Bee whisper "I hate you will all my vagina" under her breath. The professional Novella managed to move quickly on, and I think he escaped the wrath of Watson.

I've stopped listening to SGU, mainly because once you realise that the Empress isn't wearing any clothes, she's pretty much unlistenable. The fucking sad thing is that there are countless snarky, funny and clever women out there who actually know their shit, but who do they end up with? A two-bit-circus-act-publicity-groupie who couldn't reason her way out of a wet paper bag. They could replace her with a tub of lard and it would be an improvement:

Another embarrassing moment in the SGU show came when the quote for that show turned out to be a quote from Malcolm Muggeridge. Muggeridge's whole point was that New Age beliefs, humanism, etc., are somehow more goofy than traditional religious beliefs. They really ought to be a bit more careful in their research vetting these things.

Well, PZ, I see that you often post about your travels around the US, and the outside World, in aeroplanes that use the products of Deepwater Horizon and its ilk. If you really want to stop another Deepwater Horizon, you need to stop travelling by plane NOW, and to start using a car based on renewable energy NOW. â€¦Or look at the pictures, and admit â€˜I did thisâ€™.
As far as I can see, the planet is fucked, because noone has the political will to stop the madness. You and I will be OK (just). Our grandchildren donâ€™t have a hope in hell.

#6266

@ Tigzy -

Less than 10% of US homes use oil furnaces for heating:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/artic ... me-heating

It varies regionally within the US too - I went to grad school in the Pacific Northwest, and lots of homes used wood stoves for heating much of the time.

It doesn't get very cold in the winter where I live now, and I rarely use my heating system, which is electric. Our power grid has increasing contributions from wind farms and solar each year, so electric is not the absolute worst. Air conditioning is a much bigger deal (and footprint) here in the Southwest, so earlier this year I had spray-in insulation added under the entire roof of my house, which decreased my electricity consumption by about 30%. I expect to save another 10% by adding solar screens and a porch on the west side of the house.

#6267

Im guessing that would be waste oil heaters/ oil burning heaters. Using petroleum products that is.

I still see the old oil tanks bolted to the sides of peoples houses in australia but theyre no longer in use.

I quite like electric over end-user chemical energy heating (oil, gas heaters). Electric heaters convert the energy to useable heat much better than a burning heater where much of the heat is released into the external atmosphere as part of the exhaust.

The best case scenario with the idea of fossil fuel taxes is that large scale enterprises invest money in cleaner sources of energy, because the cheaper and dirtier fossil fuels become a less profitable venture.

Hopefully the average insular FFTB american can think about this more, as long as the US government is going on oil looting rampages in the middle east, this issue affects the entire planet.

Just read the Marcotte post and Justin's. Well, tried to read hers. I kept having to scratch my head and ask "WTF?" a lot. I haven't paid any attention to her since she went a bit nutso a few years back, and I see no reason to change that with this post. I am curious as to how her feminism led to atheism (unless she just means she started questioning religion, I can see that), but don't want to try to wade through her posts to find out, if she even says. As some would say "What an interesting person." ;)

I agree with this except for I think some have probably taken a glance at what liberalism is. At some point in the process it does become a parody, and i'm interested in how and when.

Take an unpopular, potentially offensive and divisive opinion like "trans women are not real women". In the skeptical arena its just not possible to shut that down through traditional means like calling it offensive. Its also a largely subjective opinion with a huge grey area up for debate.

To shut it down, they'll have to take that statement through a series of hoops. First the opinion is dehumanising trans people - which in turn causes society wide hatred of trans people - which in turn causes violence against trans people. So well done, just by having had an opinion you've contributed to beating up another innocent person.

This is how they get it to violate "do unto others" without coming off as thought police. They have to turn a thought or opinion into an indirect action.

Yes, well let's get empirical - the keyword is "liberty", and from that come others such as "pluralism" and "equality". Mutually respecting individuals is about the size of it. When it becomes an insect hive collective that launches gang attacks, it ceases to be liberalism. That is your "how and when". Here's actually a nice quote from the cesspit -

Marx rejected the foundational aspects of liberal theory, hoping to destroy both the state and the liberal distinction between society and the individual while fusing the two into a collective whole designed to overthrow the developing capitalist order of the 19th century.

Sounds like FfTB et al. to me.

@ DownThunder-

I'm encouraged by the annual addition of renewable energy sources to the grid here. It's also now illegal for homeowners associations to prohibit people from adding solar panels and using outdoor clotheslines. A plug-in hybrid car would make a lot of sense for someone like me, but they're damned expensive at the moment, so I'm going to hang on to my 12-year-old Honda (which is reliable and fuel-efficient) for a few more years. Hopefully by then there will be more plug-in hybrids available, and the prices will come down a bit.

But yeah, gasoline is way too inexpensive in the US ... enables the boom car wankers and the drivers of behemoth SUVs.

Regarding the SGU podcast: one of the Novella guys says it is his 44th birthday. Becky Whatnot leaps in and crows something about this being doubly bad, because "4" is a bad number in "Asian culture". Somebody/bodies agree(s).

Firstly, in a "skeptics" discussion, this kind of bullshit should not be regurgitated without explicit mockery (of which there was none). To give exposure to such ideas, without ridiculing them, is to perpetuate superstition. Does concern for politically correct inclusiveness bar "skeptics" from dissing people other than white USA males?

Secondly, it's fucking hilarious, and fucking pathetic, that Becky Whatnot - and at least one other person in this podcast - thinks that "Asian culture" stops at the Chinese border, with perhaps a little bit of leakiness into Vietnam and Korea (because they all do awesome takeout in the USA, right? It's those guys on bikes with the pancakes and shit, right? I'm so fucking inclusive, right?).

What a bunch of insular cunts.

"In 1986, he reportedly told (Lesley Ann Downey's mother) that unless she forgave Hindley and fellow Moors murderer Ian Brady, she would not go to heaven when she died." (Wankipaedia)

"Beck received five life terms (one of the harshest sentences since the abolition of the death penalty) for systematic physical and sexual abuse of children in his care .. "Personally I am convinced that not only did Frank Beck act throughout as an idealist, but that he did not exceed the bounds of propriety and certainly did not commit any criminal act". (ibid.)

"Longford was a staunch opponent of Gay Rights ... stated that homosexuality was "nauseating" and that, regardless of any change in the law, it was "utterly wrongful" ... In the mid-1980s, ... during the Parliamentary debates, he famously stated his opinion that homosexuals are "handicapped people"." (ibid.)

This is my first post on your board. I thought I would bring something entertaining from the Devil's Dictionary.

SUFFRAGE, n. Expression of opinion by means of a ballot. The right of suffrage (which is held to be both a privilege and a duty) means, as commonly interpreted, the right to vote for the man of another man's choice, and is highly prized. Refusal to do so has the bad name of "incivism." The incivilian, however, cannot be properly arraigned for his crime, for there is no legitimate accuser. If the accuser is himself guilty he has no standing in the court of opinion; if not, he profits by the crime, for A's abstention from voting gives greater weight to the vote of B. By female suffrage is meant the right of a woman to vote as some man tells her to. It is based on female responsibility, which is somewhat limited. The woman most eager to jump out of her petticoat to assert her rights is first to jump back into it when threatened with a switching for misusing them.

Following Scented's video right up and the comments on the youtube link, could we define "ethics"? Because the cesspit says it's a branch of philosophy, and I'm not much into this stuff. "Right", "wrong"...

If TF did something "unethical" but not illegal, what the fuck is all the fuss about? The posts he unveiled are far more "wrong" than the way he obtained them, me think. And he never doc dropped real names and/or email adresses, as far as I can tell (correct me if wrong).
