No, it wasn't politically silly, it was quite astute.Dick Strawkins wrote:It was politically silly.Skep tickle wrote:Obama was apparently trying to be good, in praising Harris in ways relevant to her performance as an attorney general, but IMO he was indeed tone deaf, in commenting on her looks and also in that awkwardly self-aware opening "you have to be careful to, first of all, say she is...". Looks aren't a criterion for the job, "best looking" is in the eye of the beholder, and - most of all - looks are a basis on which men only rarely get (explicitly, publicly) judged compared with how often it happens for women.Percentage wrote:Ok, wow.

She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general in the country. It's true! C'mon.
On the other hand, they're friends, and that may give him a comfort in commenting on personal characteristics and/or joshing with her that slipped out in what he said publicly about her and came across wrong. I find it hard to imagine him commenting on the looks of a woman with whom he had a purely professional relationship.
It was bound to get picked up, and like you said, it is hard to imagine him saying the same to someone he had just a professional relationship with, although I can imagine him saying the same thing to a male friend in a jokey kind of way.
What's being paid attention too? Commenting on some woman or this: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/05/us/so ... ml?hp&_r=2&
First paragraph
WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget in an effort to demonstrate his willingness to compromise with Republicans and revive prospects for a long-term deficit-reduction deal, administration officials say.
Always read the paper on a Friday, that's when the news comes out.

I think he is the only person in the history of the planet to describe his own work as a "deliberate tour de force".Jan Steen wrote:
Richard Carrier is Richard Carrier's greatest fan. When he contributed a chapter to a book, he called it a "tour de force"*. He makes Muhammad Ali look like a modest guy. And then his ridiculous argument that he has no time to check out the A+theism forums. The guy isunemployedan independent researcher; he has all the time he wants.
* Twice, in fact:
http://richardcarrier.blogspot.co.uk/20 ... usion.htmlTwo of The Christian Delusion's fifteen chapters are mine. The first is Why the Resurrection Is Unbelievable, which is the most definitive refutation of warranted belief in the resurrection I have ever composed. It's a deliberate tour de force, such that I doubt I'll ever have to write another. It even takes down recent attempts to use Bayes' Theorem to argue for the resurrection, and it contextualizes everything so there just isn't any rational basis left for claiming the resurrection is historically proven.
The second is Christianity Was Not Responsible for Modern Science, which is another tour de force, conclusively taking down once and for all the claim that Christianity gave us modern science.
Like he actually sat down and decided to write a fucking tour de force. Cock.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
A guy named John Ash made a great FB post on one of Carrier's calls for up votes.
The problem, as I see it, is that a subset of the atheist community who are hypersensitive to so-called “microaggression†have played the victim in discussion scenarios they helped to create (classic examples of Karpmann drama triangle), and then used the drama as fodder for generating blog hits. This has snowballed into a fairly massive campaign to “moderate†forums to create “safe spaces†(which in theory, should be blocking trolls and harassers, but in practice is actually banning people for expressing disagreement with ideological orthodoxy; see CuriousGate for more info), which has led to purges of crypto-sexists and fifth-column bigots from the ranks of the secular community. I’ve been involved in many threads where I disagreed with the prevailing opinion, which of course caused all sorts of hyperbolic hyperventilating and hysterical histrionics, conduct which, by any reasonable standard, was no less and probably much more inflammatory than my own commentary; yet I ended up being the one who was blocked/banned. It’s a double standard.
No reasonable person agrees with the trolls, but unless we’re willing to empower a body to adjudicate claims of “harassmentâ€, it’s better to simply require users to manage their own blocking/banning/ignoring of childish comments (that’s all they are, really; a rape/death threat on the internet is meaningless) rather than empower inquisitors to moderate every forum and police every post.

It's been funny to watch all these rabidly pro-choice "fuck the pope" atheist feminists (Marcotte, Watson, Greta Christina, etc.) eulogize Roger Ebert in various ways when he wrote this about a month ago:
http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2013/03 ... holic.htmlRoger Ebert wrote:I support freedom of choice. My choice is to not support abortion, except in cases of a clear-cut choice between the lives of the mother and child. A child conceived through incest or rape is innocent and deserves the right to be born.
I consider myself Catholic, lock, stock and barrel, with this technical loophole: I cannot believe in God. I refuse to call myself a atheist however, because that indicates too great a certainty about the unknowable.

The irony about the "chide" thing is that it's only "gendered" if you accept the notion that women are biologically predisposed to complain - which is a totally non-sexist assumption for a feminist to make, of course.

fuck, Michelle referred to some top White House official as "handsome".
Here is the quote:
"She is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law, and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake,
she also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country - Kamala Harris is here," Obama had said amidst applause. "It's true. Come on,"
She's the ONLY Attorney General in the country. Absolutely nothing wrong with that comment at all. Bloody puritan fucks.

No, no. Keep going. I'm curious to see how long it will be before this funny little fellow realises that begging for upvotes will not result in more upvotes but lots more downvotes.

Interesting that Thunderf00t and Integralmath didn't need to beg for YT upvotes with their response videos. Could it be they are more in line with the actual thinking of the atheist community (if such there is - I think Integralmath is right about there not really being one) than the power-grabbing chancers of FTBollocks et al?

By the way, and this is for you Mr. Tony Parsehole, Carrier did not just write a "definitive refutation" but "the most definitive refutation." There. That's even better than an ordinary definitive refutation. Carrier is the bestest refuter of all time. He says so himself, so it must be true.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
We are going to have to realize sooner or later that this was a hijacking that some otherwise rational thinkers seemed to develop a moral high ground mentality. Not that it justifies the censoring and attacks but Richard Carrier will have a harder time adopting reason and evidence if we keep berating him. He did more for the argument for reason than most. Think about it this way, we were infiltrated by a group used strategical finesse like the Bush administration did. We now have slightly stronger immune system for when the Islamist fundies try and take over with their slightly less radical tactics.

Oh dear lord, Dick Carrier's speaking requirements: http://www.richardcarrier.info/speaking.html
What the fuck is up with people not knowing what words mean? For example:

The only expenses you have to cover are a transportation and lodging...and a $250 honorarium. THAT WOULD ALSO BE AN EXPENSE YOU SCHMUCK!For any speaking engagement I require expenses, a $250 honorarium, and an opportunity to sell my books at your event.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
The first post or two were great. They illustrated the points really well, namely that overly detailed policies are dumb, and there's almost no chance they'll fully enforce the full letter of their policies, which then leads to even LONGER policies which are even less possible to enforce...Cunning Punt wrote:"Debate"?

But at this point, it's just beating a dead horse, and now you're giving them a lot of good material to prove that you're kind of an attention-seeking dip. Shakespeare had a great point: "Brevity is the soul of wit". Get in, make your point, preferably right through their stupidity, get out, and move the fuck on. Don't linger overlong.

Is "Tour de force" the new "Hard to say"?
Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
It's obvious from the revalations made by Strawkins, that he put into a nice graphic in post 15006, that PZ2013 would consider it obvious that PZ2006 is a slympitter. He should therefore shun himself, or at least his coblogger CC should ban him for his past crime.

Wooly Bumblebee chides MRM for not addressing political divide within. Expresses opinion of libertarianism similar to that seen at FtB, but does so in full sentences, presenting her argument, without calling anyone a fucktard.
It's at WB's blog, titled "Why the Men's Rights Movement will fail" - will be interesting to see what response she gets. (I'm on phone, hard to post the link)

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
What's that, FfTB? "Argument from authority" is a cardinal sin of rational argument, you say? A person is only as reliable as their current argument, which should be treated as coming from a naif, and all of its aspects examined and EVIDENCED, or else *FLOOSH*?
Why, we agree on one thing, at least.
Here's just a few words from Dr Dick Handbag, Ph.D. as he sets out an anti-biblical argument:

Whoops.I am a published author with considerable qualifications in the study of ancient history and languages (see inset), which should give my findings some weight of authority.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Done. I used the Intergralmath video as an intro, then picked up in the original where he left off. I only lasted about ten more minutes and then bailed in disgust. I redeemed myself by reading a couple pages of comments. Lots of entertainment in there! :lol:Skep tickle wrote:Downvoting: "I think we should all be doing that, more actively..."Tony Parsehole wrote::dance: What an absolute clown.Tfoot wrote: Further Rich Carrier (Dick-Carrier?

Irony really doesnt come any harder than this!
'when we do it, we are socially punishing people. But when people downvote us, its haters and harassment.'
