Comment on Another tax payer of sound mind and body by Jim Gardner

Well, Daddy Dave. He’s either genuinely filled with the holy spirit or he is bat shit insane—there are no shades of grey here. Of course, he could be just both of these two possibilities, in which case I think it’s obvious why believing doesn’t have a look-in, compared to knowing.

I’ve been around this sort of action several times and I have to ask myself, “Is he acting or is it real?” I do not have an answer yet. Putting this guy in the “crazy” category is prejudice.

You are either a satirical comedy genius or the single most deluded American of all time—and in a strong field that’s not an inconsiderable achievement. Well done!

I bet even if Glenn Beck did refute the ALLEGATIONS that he raped and murdered a girl in 1990, the pencil neck liberal commie pinkos still wouldn’t leave him alone. They’re afraid of the solid journalism that he delivers to the American people, like the fact that Obama HUSSAIN Obama wasn’t even born in this country. And why doesn’t Obama HUSSSSSSAAAAIIINNNN Obama refute that??? Doesn’t that seem a little fishy???? Glenn Beck has brought that up a lot! But does the mainstream media do anything about it?? No! All they would have to do is make the FAKE president of the United States answer to these very solid allegations. I even think there was a very real looking birth certificate from Kenya floating around! Obviously these liberals are afraid of Glenn Beck and his influence and are trying to bring him down by making up lies about him. Well we on the right aren’t going to believe anything ANYONE says unless it’s told to us by Glenn Beck, Sean Hanity, Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly. AND THAT’S IT. Of course, if it’s on Fox news it’s okay to listen too also, because they’re fair and balanced. So, shut up liberal pinko scum before we get someone like Bush or Reagan in the whitehouse next and change the laws so that you’re not even allowed to say ANYTHING any more. Ha! What do you think of that????!!!!!!

Comment on Ray Comfort plagiarised his creationist introduction to ‘On the Origin of species’ from ‘A Brief History of Charles Darwin’ by Dr. Stan Guffey by Kaybee322

Here’s an saucy reply to Kirk’s goofball hope that people will read the Origin of Species and become converted to “Intelligent Design”.

I think its rather funny how the fundies are trying to undermine Darwin’s theory of evolution by inserting a 50 page ‘ introduction’. Dude, everyone skips the introduction on books. Secondly, THANKS FOR THE FREE COPIES! If I come across a LivingWatersBullshit Rep passing these out, I’ll be taking a whole bunch of them, ripping the introduction out, and THEN giving it to friends and family. Ooh, there are cafes around here that have a ‘book basket’, where you can donate a book to the basket and ANYONE who wants to read one can take it with them… as long as they return it (or another book) at some point. Maybe I’ll do that!?

Comment on I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist by Mark Jacobsen

Mark Jacobsen — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:17:39 +0000

Jim,
Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson were Deists not positive atheists. Deists believe in a creator of sorts, one who made the universe and then stepped back. Typically Deists don’t believe in divine intervention and miracles and definitely reject revelation and holy books. Just because you are not Christian or Muslim doesn’t make you an atheist.

Silly me for not paying more attention to the media!

I thought all I had to do was be a good person, pay attention to other people, take a shower every day, and be my witty self in order to ‘be popular’. Now I’m not sure if I need to gain weight, lose weight, or just spend my savings on plastic surgery…

The thing about the girl “after” is that she doesn’t actually suite being thin. Some women are naturally petite and they carry it well, because it’s natural for them to look that way. Whereas the girl “before” actually suites being the size she is. But the ad is literally saying you should feel bad for not obeying some cosmic law that deems skinny to be healthy and to avoid looking natural and curvy as if this is one step away from morbidly obese.

It is exactly these kinds of misleading signals as to what is sexy and what is “normal” that play havoc with impressionable girls, who have enough to contend with at a certain age as it is, without adding into the mix an entirely false notion of what they would look like if they weren’t greedy and disobedient. The self-loathing this ad induces on so many levels is despicable and wrong.

I find these kinds of ads particularly offensive as a man, because they tacitly imply that the only kind of women men find attractive are emaciated brain donors with a face like a Chiuaua liking piss off a nettle. If the magazine-ready look of a well manicured glorified clothes peg is your idea of sexy then lots of luck, but I personally like a woman who isn’t going to snap at the first sign of anything heavier than a home-cooked dinner and a stiff drink inside her—if you catch my poorly concealed euphemism?

Michael,

The girl on the right looks emaciated skinny, and yes, she does look photoshopped. The before girl looks healthy, not fat. The after girl looks sickly thin.

Its less the photos that irritate me than the catch phrase — OBEY. Yes, that’s it… because girls have problems with their weight because they’re just not obedient enough. It couldn’t be a lack of self-esteem, the push to be on some guy’s arm as candy, or the prevalence of disgusting ads like this as ‘the norm’.
