• Commented on Big sale on vinyl Obama Hope Rebel flag
  Please allow me to re-post this excerpt from a speech, along with a little of my own history. That anyone would still argue this point is understandable, but none the less ridiculous. First, the Civil War was about States' rights,...
• Commented on Untitled 1
  Thanks for the tech info Kieran, I made the same connection, same party. Both incidents make a great deal more sense when advertisers are brought into the mix. Why would a progressive site, which seemingly doesn't care about popular opinion...

• Commented on Untitled 1
  Out with the old, in with the new. Someone obviously feels BB is in need of a more mainstream look and opinion. The response to a minor comment is disproportionate until viewed in the light of advertising managers. Potential advertiser,...
• Commented on Flu, and You: The Basics
  No testing? BS! The anti-vaccine conspiracy nuts will one day be responsible for millions of deaths. http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/news/newsreleases/2009/H1N1PedTrial.htm...

• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  Cow, how many times do I have to say, "I AGREE!" I just don't give a damn about hypocrisy in politics. As far as I can tell, everyone here agrees with you and Kirby, including me. We are bigoted towards...
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  You are missing my point. There are many politicians who vote for or against legislation, sometimes in opposition to their own view. Maybe one politician doesn't believe or care about global warming or doesn't view abortion as a privacy issue,...
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  Cowicide, maybe you're right, this is all about hypocrisy. Because outing a closeted gay politician only works because LGBT activists exploit homophobia to fight homophobia. If huge portions of our population weren't homophobic, outing wouldn't be a weapon, then we...
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  Cowicide, what the hell? As I have said, I AGREE with outing LGBT politicians who would use their power to deny equal rights to others. Politicians are public employees. However, while they may be hypocrites, hypocrisy is not the issue.That...
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  Suds, agreed, this is why the outing of other less powerful public figures is another, more complicated issue....
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  We have a right to hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is only a problem when it affects you. Hypocrisy is part and parcel of politics. What about a politician who finds homosexuality offensive, but supports equal rights? This has nothing to do with...
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  Nosehat, you misunderstand......
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  You misunderstand, I support outing those politicians who would oppose equal rights, outing other public figures is more complicated. Hypocrisy is not a problem in politics. Politics is politics....
• Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
  Try this, we don't care if they are gay; nor do we care who or what they do, as long as it is consensual. We support equal rights. They stand in opposition to equal rights. We oppose them. If they...

  Thanks, even a blind dog......
• Commented on G20 police uses arrested student as trophy in group photo
  Nothing is inherently right or wrong. Right and wrong are resultant opinions, based on our perceptions of the net effect of our actions. Absent measuring the net effect of our actions, does this action result in a net increase or...
• Commented on G20 police uses arrested student as trophy in group photo
  For me: There is no such thing as right or wrong There is only pleasure or pain. So when we say do unto others As we would have do unto us, Make damn sure the people you are dealing with...

• Commented on Untitled 1
  Dan, you're welcome, it is one of Takuan's, if I remember correctly. This place is a haven, the backroom of BB. There are some amazing entries above. Though I would hate for the thread to reach 3k comments without our...

• Commented on Kill Al-Qaeda in Three Easy Steps
  Please, everyone knows the mainstream everywhere is always complicit in the atrocities of the times, either by direct support, tacit approval, or, as some have mentioned, inaction. Things are the way they are, because this is the only way they...

• Commented on Are Muslim Women Oppressed? Ask One
  I too take exception to the easy classing of anyone who calls out religion as intolerant, divisive, and dangerous as simply xenophobes or "white male westerners", bigoted, etc. As it is said, it isn't paranoia when they are out to...
