Commented on Purported PS3 ad sports Nazi imagery
Reconsidering my position on imagery, after reading #14. Using Nazis as a device to set the stage for the eternal struggle between good and evil is quite astute. See the visceral reactions we are having. Don't you agree they make...
Commented on Purported PS3 ad sports Nazi imagery
I see Iron Croses, which are military decorations from before 1940. I see swastikas in the bed design, but that must be it is a Party hospital. Erwin Rommel was not an officer in the SS, but regular German Army...
Commented on Are Muslim Women Oppressed? Ask One
My observation so far: Muslim women who want to follow the teachings of the Prophet and the word of God are being hounded by overly sensitive people, who themselves beieve the Muslim women are being oppressed because they wear the...

That is awesome. And some of those are very good looking ladies. At least they have something to do and they are not consumed by boredom. Very important ingredient in reforming an immate....

Commented on Scientists search for a 3-foot, spitting earthworm
Sounds like: Now Carter knew from a certain source that he was in the vale of Pnath, where crawl and burrow the enormous bholes; but he did not know what to expect, because no one has ever seen a bhole,...

This video and your comments has ensured that I get to lol a lot in the comming week....
Commented on Why are we pretending that Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't hopelessly obsolete?
"...Furthermore, the company is saying that no phone without a Start flag hardware button will be eligible for 6.5..." Awesome, I guess I better get new batteries for that old PPC6700 I got lying around somewhere....
Commented on Chemistry student wrongly busted for meth and bombs
Oh my! I better hide my applied thermodynamics book, the physics book, the design of thermal systems book, the pharmaceutical process book... You get the drift. @4: as a matter of principle I am a conservative voter, but I find...
Commented on Torture in video-games -- a moral dilemma
From a total game perspective: Arthas had a moral dilema too. He made his choice. All along you are told that he had to do what he had to do in order to save the people from Azeroth. And now...
Commented on Good example of pareidolia
God is in the proverbial "eye of the beholder". And it is not Treseme, Jesus go to a trendy NYC salon. Yes, I am going to hell for that one. w00t!...

Compare and contrast to the Ralph Lauren Ad and the threatened lawsuits against BoingBoing and PhotoshopDisaster blog. In comparison the hijab seems quite sensible....

Quoted from above: “It's MY choice to obey His commands, it's MY choice to try to gain Paradise and escape Hell. I don't see why you're trying to stop me from getting good. Oh, and yes, we do have a freedom of choice. We have the freedom to obey or disobey God. But those who take the hated path will have to pay the consequences in the Hereafter“ Man this is just SO SAD. Someone who's mind is so controlled by a mental virus that they can't make sense of the most basic definitions. Religions always come with a threat....
Antinous / Moderator commented on Are Muslim Women Oppressed? Ask One
Someone who's mind is so controlled by a mental virus that they can't make sense of the most basic definitions. Religions always come with a threat. It's the way a religious idea defends itself from competing ideas. Nothing that you've said can't be applied to any aspect of anyone's life in any society - political and economic systems just as much as religious beliefs. It's easy to see when other people are brainwashed, but nearly impossible to see it in oneself....
dewywater commented on Are Muslim Women Oppressed? Ask One
Yes. This is not just a muslim issue. Take me for example. I'm a fat guy. On a hot day in florida it hurts no one if I walk the streets naked. But I don't do it, because I fear the social blowback which would include public humiliation and possible jail time. So yes. I am oppressed, and that's why I don't go around spouting all sorts of drivel about how wearing clothes is a personal life-style choice. It is not. I am simply afraid of the social consequences of doing otherwise. And I'm honest about that. See? It was...
JamesLaw commented on Puerto Rican education system bans kids' books
I don't disagree with this action. The modern view of so-called censorship as on par with abuse is ridiculous from my point of view. Children need to be protected. Not brain-washed, but protected. My parents controlled what I read from a young age, loosening up their policy inline with my maturing, so that by about 15 or 16 they let me choose entirely for myself. I thank them that I wasn't exposed to certain things before I was ready....
