Then there are the Chronicles of Narnia, where the volumes were at first (1950's) not numbered, then were numbered by order of publication, then in the 1990's were renumbered by the chronology in the story. The one that's now first (The Magician's Nephew) is (IMO) less interesting than some of the others, but YMMV.BarnOwl wrote:Most of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels can be read independently, and order is (relatively) unimportant. There are some diagrams for suggested reading order for say, the Death novels or the Witches novels, but I generally ignore them. China Miéville's Bas Lag novels can also be read in any order.
I quite like Justicar too, without always agreeing with him of course. It is weird how what would be minor differences elsewhere in life become major barriers in internet atheism (may also apply to other internet phenomena).Skep tickle wrote:Yeah, I like Justicar's videos.

I watched Justicar's before watching Matt's. "Utterly dishonest" - seriously? Onus is on you to actually support that pretty serious accusation, Matt - your recent video doesn't come close.
No. I am outright stating it. I also hate Star Trek, World of Warcraft, anime in general, and both 3e and 4e, so the nerd rage crowd has plenty of ammo.Eucliwood wrote:So tired of some jumping on me for every little thing.
Are you implying that Harry Potter is NOT a good book?Rystefn wrote:
Ok, maybe i should have been more specific - if it's ever been done with good books, I've never heard of it.
True enough. Tastes vary dramatically. Far be it from me to judge people for liking what they like. It's the assholes that spend money on things, spend years bitching about it, then spend more money on it again that piss me off (Star Wars fans who watched the Ep 1 3D rerelease, I'm looking at you).welch wrote:Shrug. Good's up to the reader. I like Cussler and The Destroyer, because it's mindless fun. Formulaic, but fun. Nice quick reads, and entertaining. Diane's a good writer who as much as possible in a series about wizards, respects her science. She's written some of the best Star Trek stuff out there, and if you watched a cartoon in the 90s, she probably wrote one of the scripts.Rystefn wrote:Ok, maybe i should have been more specific - if it's ever been done with good books, I've never heard of it.welch wrote:There's a few actually.Rystefn wrote: If that's ever been done, I've never heard of it.
Harry Potter is a decent example.
others I have on my shelves:
Clive Cussler's "Dirk Pitt" books
"The Destroyer"
Diane Duane's "Young Wizards" series.
I'd reference R.A. Salvatore, but that fucker just writes the same three books over and over, so it really doesn't matter.
Some people love Dune. I can't see how. But they like so good for them.
Good for you.welch wrote: That works until you have to pay what shit actually costs because everyone else says "Fuck you and YOUR roads." Then you discover just how expensive shit really is when you have to foot the full bill for your share, and realize "huh. Maybe that taxes shit ain't so bad after all."
That, and a full "pure" libertarian state means you don't have fuck all for infrastructure. Why should I give a fuck about your needs when you aren't me? Oh, public health is expensive and you're sick? Sucks to be you.
I'll take my community where we all give what isn't really that fucking much, and be happy. I got decent roads, clean water, occasionally decent healthcare, my auto insurance don't cost a fucking tenth of what it would if I had to pay for all of it myself, and if you stop listening to the screaming ninnies on the news, you realize we don't fuck shit up nearly as often as it seems. No one shook me down for private tolls, and if my house is on fire, my taxes ensure the fucking fire department will show up. Someone breaks into my house, I can call the cops. Yeah, some cops are dicks so what? Some atheists are dicks, but I like y'all well enough to know not to let an edge case jackoff represent the entire population.
I would just like people to stop being so fucking stupid and think you can have a decent infrastructure for cheap or that being stupid is a viable way of life.
I know, i know, I should wish for a unicorn, that's more probable.

Yea, codelette is pretty lacking in empathy. But again, he can always opt out of taxes- I would be HAPPY to not pay for some slick like that that's against the idea anyway. Hell, anyone that doesn;t like the idea can opt out and stop "mooching" right now, so that taxes only help everyone else.another lurker wrote:
codelette, you are being disingenuous. I think what welch is describing is a functional society, not a place where only the rich can afford school, and where we let children die if they cannot afford cancer treatment, or food. It's not 'bleeding heart', its common fucking human decency.
And I am guessing your 'services rendered' weren't in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. I guess if you get sick, and you cannot afford the 50k or more that it costs to get better, that we should just tell you to fuck off and die, as your health is not our problem. Sheesh.

By that book, he had already abandoned any idea of writing a novel or having a plot, instead relying on the idea that "If no one can understand it, it must be really deep".

People who're agains ta system of taxes and dont get that the world just doesnt work without them - everyone putting in so that everyone can live a life, would get on the internet and whine soon after taxes are abolished (hypothetical). Sure, "private services" could replace the government, but they'd charge, and people would whine about the things that taxes pay for costing too much and demanding that the government make taxes again.
Did you know that you don't have to worry about paying taxes, codelette? You can just opt out of it - of course, you don't get any of the services our taxes pay for though. But that's fine, you don't need anyone else's help but your own.

And yeah "opting out" really translate to "you are going to jail" for refusing to pay taxes. Great deal right there.

Forgive me for underestimating the succinctness of your comment then. Too many people dismiss LaVey as a crank. He was a prankster, a la Robert Anton Wilson, in that he never clarified what was serious in his writings and what was not. It was the responsibility of the reader to work that out. As a result, simply mentioning his name autogenerates stupid responses - and in his world, stupidity and evil are interchangeable so I suspect the confusion is deliberate.codelette wrote:No sarcasm on my part.

[/spoiler]Pentagonal Revisionism
By Anton S. LaVey-
In recent years, we've wasted far too much time explaining that Satanism has nothing to do with kidnapping, drug abuse, child molestation, animal or child sacrifice, or any number of other acts that idiots, hysterics or opportunists would like to credit us with. Satanism is a life-loving, rational philosophy that millions of people adhere to. Now we're ready for something that goes quite a few steps beyond just explaining our principles. Every revisionist movement needs a set of goals/guidelines that are clear, concrete, and that will effect significant changes. The following Five-Point Program reflects attitudes which allow others to decide whether they wish to align themselves with Satanism or not. Each is necessary for Satanic change to take place. When asked what we're "doing," here's the answer:
1. Stratification - The point on which all the others ultimately rest. There can be no more myth of "equality" for all - it only translates to "mediocrity" and supports the weak at the expense of the strong. Water must be allowed to seek its own level without interference from apologists for incompetence. No one should be protected from the effects of his own stupidity.
2. Strict taxation of all churches - If churches were taxed for all their income and property, they'd crumble overnight of their own obsolescence, and the National Debt would be wiped out as quickly. The productive, the creative, the resourceful should be subsidized. So long as the useless and incompetent are getting paid, they should be heavily taxed.
3. No tolerance for religious beliefs secularized and incorporated into law and order issues - to re-establish "Lex Talionis" would require a complete overturning of the present in-justice system based on Judeo-Christian ideals, where the victim/defender has been made the criminal. Amnesty should be considered for anyone in prison because of his alleged "influence" upon the actual perpetrator of the crime. Everyone is influenced in what he or she does. Scapegoating has become a way of life, a means of survival for the unfit. As an extension of the Judeo-Christian cop-out of blaming the Devil for everything, criminals can gain leniency, even praise, by placing the blame on a convenient villain. Following the Satanic creed of "Responsibility to the responsible," in a Satanic society, everyone must experience the consequences of his own actions - for good or ill.
4. Development and production of artificial human companions - The forbidden industry. An economic "godsend" which will allow everyone "power" over someone else. Polite, sophisticated, technologically feasible slavery. And the most profitable industry since T.V. and the computer.
5. The opportunity for anyone to live within a total environment of his or her choice, with mandatory adherence to the aesthetic and behavioral standards of same - Privately owned, operated and controlled environments as an alternative to homogenized and polyglot ones. The freedom to insularize oneself within a social milieu of personal well-being. An opportunity to feel, see, and hear that which is most aesthetically pleasing, without interference from those who would pollute or detract from that option. This is the encapsulated version of the current thrust of Satanic advocacy. So when someone asks you, "Well, what do Satanists do?", you will be qualified to tell him.

In this case, some of you say it 10 times, twisting, distorting, exaggerating, and dramatizing like little A+ shits the whole way.AbsurdWalls wrote:You know she's like Beetlejuice, except you only have to say it once, right?codelette wrote:welch, i still like you.

NOTE, I have never been to India and my Indian friends were all born in the U.S., so I already know I know nothing about India in any real sense. Just pointing out parts of your statement. And as someone in the U.S., I know there is a crap ton of stuff we do that you can easily go after.astrokid.nj wrote:[spoiler][/spoiler]another lurker wrote: The way women are treated in India = rape culture. Being harassed for personal info, being groped, having upskirt pics taken = example of rape culture. A guy cat-calling or saying 'you're hot' is not rape culture, imo.
Before anyone jumps on me for my thoughts about what and what doesn't constitute rape culture, please bear in mind that I try really hard to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I would like to learn from people, and to consider everyone's viewpoint, before making blanket statements. My views are -never- set in stone. I honestly just want to understand the world better!
Since you asked, I have to dismiss your The way women are treated in India = rape culture as bollocks.
I am an Indian living in the US now, and normally I dont engage when people make comments about how women are treated in Muslim countries, or in India. The only question I say aloud in my head is "How do you know? Do you have any expertise in those countries? Have you lived there for years? Have you studied books by experts, esp contrasting views? Or do you go by your media.. the media that has a 'Sophisticated Propaganda Model to Manufacture Consent', as Noam Chomsky made a compelling case for?". India is very complicated by its numerous problems.. last 500 (Muslim)+200(Brit) years of foreign rule, vast poverty, non-egalitarianism due to numerous classes/castes, massive population density, internalized corruption due to transactional nature of man-God relation in Hinduism, etc. Its pretty much pointless to analyze particular incidents without knowing lots of things.
Here's a devastating attack on a woman. Its utter disregard for human life.. happens all the time in India.. the value of life is very low. Reducing it to 'rape culture' is bollocks.

[spoiler]Go read this blog by a woman in India.. Fight for gender equality. And guess what.. she's bitterly anti-feminist. she fights for mens rights. She hates the US for sending the US laws Eastwards. Of course, you will also find feminist blogs that argue the other way.. using the FTB-model of card-stacking.rape-culture?“Whoever, intending to insult the modesty of any woman, utters any word, makes any sound or gesture, or exhibits any object, intending that such word or sound shall be heard, or that such gesture or object shall be seen by such woman, or intrudes upon the privacy of such woman, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine, or with bothâ€, reads Section 509 of the Indian Penal Code.
Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code prescribes a maximum sentence of two years in prison to a person convicted for outraging the modesty of a woman.

rape culture?[/spoiler]
Do you know that in India, trains, restaurants, etc have a women-only section? Society bends over backwards to see to it that women have it better. "Women and Children first" arises from human psychology.. across cultures. If there were a rape culture in India, you wont see women like the one in this vid (albeit transported to a new culture). Note that you will rarely find men behaving this way.. whether its India or the West.. they know they will get their ass kicked.

Hey, are you that guy from Troll Hunter? Nice to get another addition to the Nordic contingent.
If there's a cut-off point for taxation and a flat rate above that, that would still be a progressive tax system. It could be better than a steeper progressive tax but that's "haggling over the price", so to speak.Oneiros666 wrote:I get your argument about flat tax, if it meant increasing the rate for the poorer and reducing it for the wealthy. But here in Norway it would mean keeping at the same level as today for poor (already quite low thanks to the 15k cut-off), reducing it for the middle class (the vast majority of the populace in Norway and actually increasing it for the über-rich (that today only pay 28 % on capital gains after deductions for interest- costs).
Doesn't work. The U.S. Govt doesn't recognize attempts to renounce citizenship. You can't opt-out of taxes, either. Not without getting fucked by the IRS when they find out about it.Eucliwood wrote:Another fellow spoke of renouncing his US citizenship around last year or so. No, he wasn't moving to another country or anything, but still. Besides, moving to another country simply has you pay tax- unless its a country that doesn't ave taxes. Then it'll be just like renouncing citizenship while living in America.
