  Takuan, Doing great Anti, no Furryness for me - though I have nothing against Furries or Furrishness in general. - I tend to get completely absorbed in a forum or blog for a while - then fade away. I'll be...

• Commented on Boing Boing's Moderation Policy (Archived)
  I read somewhere that BB is the most popular blog in the world. You'd think you guys would have some of the best website/tech geeks to fix this stuff. That sounds kind of negative - I'm not complaining, I'm perfectly...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  Hell, I don't say cuss words invoking a deity and I know it isn't a sin. These days I save cuss words for when I want to strongly emphasize a point or when I'm very angry. People that take the...

  Noen - cool - something we can agree on....
• Commented on Connections: Atlas Obscura Edition
  I stopped reading at Connections - this is one of my favorite shows of all time. Last time I checked, you can watch some of the shows on GUBA.com - yep, I just checked. If you haven't seen them, please...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  Antinous - Oh, OK - well I don't know much about their religion. Seems I recall that one of Abraham's sons formed my religion and another formed the Muslim religion. I guess it would make sense that they worship the...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  re: an above post, I have read several times in the Christian bible where it says like - put no other Gods before me, and stuff like that. It seems that whoever wrote the bible suggests that there are several...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  Different gods - I don't think that when an Islamic person, a Christian, or a Hindu prays, they think they're praying to the same god. I know good and well I've never prayed to Allah....
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  Takuan, you're changing the point - earlier I said sometimes you say things specifically to tick me off regarding to religion. You said give me one example. I think I did in my link. But, whatever - really I couldn't...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  Gollux, I think "...respect your fellow human being and his wife." may get a few people's attention. This will be fun....
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  Takuan, here ya go http://www.boingboing.net/2009/01/28/attenboroughs-respon.html#comment-392511 At the time, I thought most of your posts in that thread was designed specifically to piss me off - though, before the end of that thread, I realized it was all in fun. But,...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  Troofseeker, there's been many times when I have tried to be a "born again Christian." Some of the times I really felt that I was saved - this was when I was a teenager. But always, a few days later...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  OK - this guy is funny - well, I assume he is, I didn't watch the video. It's just that normally in one of these posts, Takuan and a few other regulars try to get my goat on the subject...
• Commented on TV preacher proves that only the Christian god is real
  What a bunch of dicks - leave my God alone. Go pick on Allah or something for awhile. Whats the matter? Scared to pick on Islamics? I have yet to see a BB post or commenter make fun of someone...
• Commented on Meatcard contest -- recreate Frazetta paintings using live people
  Ah crud - you have to choose between those 3 - I was hoping for one of his rated-R paintings....
• Commented on Meatcard contest -- recreate Frazetta paintings using live people
  How much trouble would I get into if I were to suggest that BB make an example photo with Xeni as the she warrior/damsel in distress?...
• Commented on Meatcard contest -- recreate Frazetta paintings using live people
  So, there's a good chance we might get to see some of our female commenters topless huh? This is good....
• Commented on Lancaster, PA: the most spied-upon town in America
  "The only thing worse than having civilian volunteers do this would be to have cops doing it. Think about it for ten seconds." Even worse - a cop wanna-be - They want to be a cop, but somehow aren't qualified....
• Commented on Lancaster, PA: the most spied-upon town in America
  The cameras are in public areas - right? If so, then you'd expect someone to be watching - who cares if it's a camera? I do think it's a waste of money and time. I've been told here in other...
• Commented on Iran: Neda (warning: graphic video)
  Takuan, you have to start somewhere - let's begin with the shooter and go from there. Yeah, easier said than done. I'm with the "Get America involved" side. But involved in a way that doesn't cause more horror and bloodshed....
• Commented on Iran: Neda (warning: graphic video)
  I'd love for America, World Police, to jump in and heroically save the oppressed and helpless in Iran - but that tactic hasn't worked very well so far. What can we do? What's the solution? Surely it isn't for us...
• Commented on Iran: Neda (warning: graphic video)
  Vago, Neda Soltani stepped up and became more than a sister, mother, aunt, or friend, it would be irresponsible and heartless for our media to do anything but show this video. The video can do nothing but further her cause...
• Commented on Iran: Neda (warning: graphic video)
  Why the hell NOT show this video? Graphic videos like this make real what you could have ignored otherwise. A typed "Neda Soltani shot and killed during Iran protests," will do nothing. Post a video and you get this. 4,270...
• Commented on Iran: Neda (warning: graphic video)
  I will never forget the panic in her eyes. I hope that whoever she was looking at when she died was someone she cared for. Thank you to whoever took this video and thank you BB for posting it....
• Commented on Trepanation for dementia
  I suppose I should have said, "too much fluid in their brain," instead of increased intracrainial pressure. I suppose I've mixed the two since I read about it a few years ago....
• Commented on Trepanation for dementia
  Apoxia - I couldn't find the study that I read concerning increased intracranial pressure being misdiagnosed as alzheimers, but here's a good one. Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH): New Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment...
• Commented on 1964 Frederick's of Hollywood catalog
  I remember my mom getting these books when I was in my early teens (she said she didn't order them). Imagine a 13 year old with a Frederick's of Hollywood, back then I was ALWAYS first to check the mail....
• Commented on Jo Walton on Heinlein's STARMAN JONES
  Oh, loved that book! Heinlein, along with Andre Norton, and Ben Bova (Rendezvous With Rama), taught me to love science fiction at an early age with books found in my school library....
