"So Tim not only are you giving away the article and the product of your work, you are giving away the money made from that work. Doubly stupid. But your choice."

"do you think you have to watch something like that before you can understand how vile and disgusting an act like that is ?"
Interesting question and here's my answer. In the year 2000 (cue music), did the western world have a general idea of the threat of Islamic terrorism? Did they know that terrorists blew up civilian targets, killing hundreds or thousands? Did they know that fundamentalists were hell-bent on killing anyone who didn't ascribe to their religion?
Sure, they knew all of those things, somewhere in the back of their mind. So why did they suddenly begin taking the threat seriously only a year later? Because the videos of 9/11 planes slamming into towers were shown again. And again. And again. And again. They were far more powerful than any text describing 3000 dead.
THAT'S the point. If those images were kept from people, the reaction wouldn't have been the same. Sure, there would have been A reaction, but not THE reaction we got. That's important. Threats are to be spotlighted, not hidden from view, or you risk the world not taking the threat seriously....
Re: Danger Zone, or, as Matt Drudge calls one: Chicagoland
Did you not even read the very top of that link?
"345 since Jan. 1, 2013,
10.4 percent below the 10-year average of 385.0 for this point in the year."
In other words, Matt Drudge's Danger Zone has had its danger decimated in the past ten years by good old fashioned increase of police in trouble areas, not by the NYC stop and frisk bullshit.

""Robertson's false statement" -- WELL, that's Timmy's manifest bias: he doesn't know, just assumes it's factually false. "
Right, except unlike you I actually clicked on that Snopes link that demonstrates that it's a false statement. Way to be an idiot, Blue. At least you're consistent....
Re: How you SEEM to have changed on feminism, Timmy!
Reminded me of how you apparently lost your sense of humor when the pre-natal doctor accidentally stuck your mother's epidural direction into your brain....
"There is no legitimate argument that two guys or girls getting it on is natural, normal."
Exactly, other than the fact that homosexuality exists in nature, in mammals, human and otherwise. Other than the fact that its natural and a certain percentage of a population having it is normal, it's neither natural or normal.
Fortunately there are people in the administration who are willing to do the right thing here, no matter what your misgivings about them. I applaud them when the deserve it, and standing up to uses of chemical weapons is on the right side of history....
"It was a lie about chemical weapons that got us into Iraq."
More likely it was a bout of shitty intelligence resulting from our lack of movement against Saddam in the 90's when he used chemical weapons on the Kurds, but the end result is the same. One of the chief reasons you go after guys like Assad hard when they commit this kind of attrocity is so you don't breed another Saddam....
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Careful, your intolerance is showing
You must have some kind of persecution complex coupled with an inability to understand the English language. What that sentence says is "throw whatever you think about her religion to the side, it doesn't matter, because this horribly false thing is the most false thing she's ever said from the pulpit."
Not everyone is out to get you, my sweet Christian friend. Take a breath and relax....
Okay, guys, kill the anti-religion nonsense. I didn't attack this woman's religion in any way, I attacked the danger of her using her religious pulpit to spout anti-vaccine bullshit.
And, yeah, I give religion a hard time, just like I give a hard time to about everything else I write here. It would be biased if I DIDN'T go in on religion the same way as everything else. So cool your jets. Whichever God you believe in is doing just fine without me...
