Penn and Teller's show on this is entertaining. Sadly Africa as a whole is waaaaaay more religious than America is. And condom hatred, while loony in the west, is a viable political position due to the Idiotic religious beliefs about the west. As always, I say, the Skeptical libertarian west is the solution, not the problem.
Penn & Teller took on Wal-Mart Haters in Season 5 of Penn & Teller's Bullsh!t!
Southpark had fun with it too. I think that Reason Magazine had an article on it as well.
People who hate Wal-Mart and shop at target are stupid as well. If you can't stand Capitalism and you favor government regulation, then please by all means learn to speak and read in Spanish. Cuba and Venezuela are not too far away.
Who cares if they were illegal immigrants or not, they were theives. A thief is not tollerated by any culture, they are despised. These men did not simply steal things, they stole time. Time spent away from the family, house, and things that made the owner of said property happy in life, in order to legitamately earn the money that was used to buy those things.
If we are going to ban things that kill people, then let us ban cars. Cars afterall, kill more Americans every year than guns do. (41,000 a year on average)
Lives of people who die of car accidents are not morned like others are, we simply say oh well. Maybe Stalin had a point when he said that a single death is a tragedy and a million is a statistic.
We as humans have insticts to survive, we have insticts that make us feel bad when a member of our species is lost. These emotions have kept us alive, but they are not always reasonable.
How long was it before we learned how to prevent common diseases via sanitation? How many people had to die before we learned that? How many people need to die before we learn how to drive safely? How many criminals will have to die before they learn that they should not Rape, Kill, or Steal?
Almost every culture in the world regaurds theft as an offense. Most people are in favor of the death penalty in one way or another. Some people want it fast and others want it to come naturally via life in prison. Not too many people are willing to parole a known murderer. We should also give the death penalty to thieves either life in prison or instant death their choice.
Ok, so maybe that does go too far. But these people stole time from the property owners, they stole things that the owner had to spend a large amount of time earning, maintaining, and finding those items that gave him or her satisfaction, comfort, and peace.
To me, it is sick to live in a Capitalist society where there are plenty of legitamate jobs availiable that will allow you to trade your time formoney in order to buy things that make you feel good, these men were too lazy to do that and wanted to steal someonelse's time. These were Sick Sick men.
Do I think that they desrve to die? Yeah they deserve to die and I hope that they burn in Hell!
It is too bad that I am an atheist and that I don't believe in Hell. If only it was true.
Homeless people are idiots if they remain homeless longer than 5 years. There is no reason to help these people out. The survival mechanism will kick in and they will either pull themselves out of homelessness or they will die. Being homeless in the world's largest economy is the ultimate form of stupidity, mental illness, and personal irresponsibility rolled all into one.
Yes, let's destroy all humans and their creations and return the world to its natural form, because nature is fragile and needs to be protected. What a crock of shight.
Neat-o-rama should stay out of politics all together.
This blog should be more about presenting Quilts with Pacman on them, or a guy's collection of pens. Neat-o-rama is a nerd blog filled with the unusual. The sad thing is that when you entertain religious, political, and psuedoscientific disscussion you open a can of foul smelling worms making your blog look like it is exclusive.
I ask that you don't do this. Doing so destroys the spirit of neat-o-rama and if you were to read the comments here, you would see that. Just for the sake of stroking your ego so that you will stop I will simply say that I agree with you about "transparency", but I think that you are shoveling shight on neat-o-rama making it less attractive to fans of nerdyness, strange, and the weird neat things that make western society such a joy be a part of. So Please...
NO MORE POLITCAL, RELIGIOUS, Or Psuedoscience (Global Warming, Green living, Eco-freindly BS) on neat-o-rama. PLEASE!!! MORE PAC-MAN QUILTS AND NEAT THINGS THAT ONLY OFFEND PEOPLE WHO ARE ORDINARY.
And don't be like a jackass by responding to every post that disagrees with you, it makes you look week and lonely.
Al Jazeera English is a better channel than CNN it gives information on events outside the US in a way that you would never see.
Unlike CNN, when they report on the war in Iraq or Afghanistan they do it in a neutral manner, they don't have a dog in the fight, so they actually report both favorable and unfavorable news from Iraq. They rarely use polls to try to influence the way that you think. They do have a love affair with Barack Obama, but what network news station doesn't? I was quite surprised to see how good Al-Jazeera English was. They do have some faults from time to time, but they do have an anti Israel slant, they love reporting how the US media ignores the Palestinian side. I have seen them show interviews of Palestinians who are against terrorism and are tired of Hammas and Hezbola ruining things for them. But for a station based out of Qatar, it is an interesting perspective. People who are strongly pro-Israel might have a hard time accepting that Israel can make mistakes and is racist. Being American, it is kind of silly for us to fault a nation for stealing land from a bunch of other people. This also goes for Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico, Canada, and All of South and Central America. They have a hard time understanding the US, they are sometimes as laughable as Fox News, CNN, or MSNBC with how much they lack in understanding American society, but they are a foriegn perspective in a country that is very pro-American (Qatar).
Wow! This song is just now reaching the US? Is the US's image really hurting abroad when this song is topping bilboard charts in Europe? As "awesome" as the Euro is, Europeans are vactioning in the US more than ever now. They are still amazed at how cheap that our petrol is too.
He is as dumb as Bush. Atleast when Bush makes a retarded statement or has a verbal slip, he will usually correct it after someone in the audience yells at him. Obama as far as we know is the only candidate who wants to invade Pakistan, is a muslim and a christian, with a slight possiblity that he might be a member of all three monotheistic sand relgions, he is also the only candidate who proposes to limit oil profits and has visited all 57 states with the exceptions of Alaska, Hawaii, and one of the others.
Obama is the first halfrican american running for office that has absolutely no ancestry of Colonial Ameran or Caribian Slavery. Obama is an empty suit that will be destroyed by McCain. The only way that he can win is if a third party politician takes enough votes away from McCain for him to get elected with out atleast 50% of the vote. This is exactly what Perot did to Bush and Dole, or what Nader did to Gore.
