@ReachDeep1 If I punch you, I can be prosecuted. This is actually in my self-interest as well as yours: neither of us wants to be punched. This is how we spool up ethics and morals in the absence of a Daddy-god telling us what to do. The golden rule doesn't actually contain the word God, and does...

Look up "Ken Miller Bacterial Flagellum" on YouTube for the simple refutation of this breathtaking example of wishful illogic. Parts of the flagellum DO have functions. Therefore, the complexity is NOT irreducible. Michael Behe is wrong again.

@guzsirock There are surely thousands of recorded Malagueñas by Andalusian musicians, and a few are not hard to find on YouTube...along with renditions of "La Malagueña Salerosa."

27 people dislike? What's wrong, babies, not in color or in stereo?

SCM = Sternomastoid muscle, the "big" muscles on either side of your neck that connect down at your collar bone on either side of the notch. If the SCM is developed it makes your neck look wide (or, curiously enough, like you "don't have a neck" according to common parlance).

@lgngrnt1 4IcyHot is probably just a 13-year-old junior troll showing off his potty mouth.

No need for others to react directly.

Because Dr.Craig Videos blocked me:

@drcraigvideos No, WLC is a well-educated bullshit artist whose arguments are filled with non sequitur logic (e.g., "There were many witnesses to the empty tomb. Ergo, Christ must have risen!" Never mind that it all could have just been made up in the decades ...

Jon Stewart reads books and stuff.

Bill O'Reilly? Not so much...

@Thunderf00t, good job, sir! I've been "blocked" by DrCraigVideos from commenting on his videos (my comments were not always kind but hardly abusive, IMO). Now I shall write to the actual Dr Craig as you suggest. Thanks very much for the tip, and best of luck in getting this thug off of YouTube.

@chilaxin92301 But compassion is innate in us, and in fact is a survival mechanism. The mutual cooperation that arises from compassion really improves survival over going it alone. The neurologists are pretty sure that the faculty lives in the pre-frontal lobes of the human brain. So you're mista...

@nnjhansen Don't be silly. God is a religious idea, by definition. As such, reference to "God" as an authority doesn't belong wherever "We the People" 's business is being conducted, including in court and Congress.

Imagine if our public officials referred to "The Gods" instead of "God", how ja...

@disamjisa No, and you're right to call me on that. Although, I believe that Trotsky was an advocate of democracy for the masses, in addition to commie working class mass action and self-emancipation. I think that puts him slightly into Socialist territory by itself. Mainly I was trying--clumsily...

Yeah, ditto, thanks for the post.

This is incredibly interesting, somewhat more meat on the bone (although proportionally more demanding) than Hitchens's attacks on religion.

Turek hasn't taken a shit in years.

@leewsb Re Album: "Les Mystere Voix des Bulgares" was put out (I think) in the 1970's but it's still around, probably available on Amazon. And the lead track is a very similar rendition of this song. Recording quality is first rate even by today's standards.

"How convenient"

"It is convenient and that is the Nature of God!"

"Well, I got him to say it..."

LOL

@somewhatlongdong Hitchens was a giant and his ideas and writing will live on long after nobody knows who "Tony Perkins" was, except for the actor in Hitchcock's Psycho.

@EnnoiaBlog "Sam's position is typical of Judaism -- his emphasis on the 'carnal' is quite obvious."

Oooh, and a little gratuitous slander of Judaism to boot! You must be a real peach. Do you think there's a final solution to all that carnality?

Just wanted to say that the world outside of Spain, Andalusia, and Jerez also greatly miss this great man's spirited and loving and generous playing.

Ole, sir! and farewell. You remain my greatest musical inspiration.

Moraito is such a bad-ass.

He has the best groove, and if I'm not mistaken about the meaning of the word, the best duende of all...especially in Bulerias.

Wish I could have met him, and bought him a drink.

@cliffandy Not sure whether the outcome of the debate would be "useful" in any case. Of what use could it be put?

But the debate is won based on the CHANGES in the votes (votes after minus votes before). This suggests to me that the pre-existing biases of the audience are subtracted out.

Of co...

Very interesting.

Re the popular quote above: "thought dictator" is a jarring oxymoron, and from what I've read it seems obvious that Hitch would have objected to being called a dictator regardless of the preceding adjective. He was no such thing.

@M3PanoS "Yea, except for that whole question of why there is a world at all. You know the fundamental question to ask before we talk about things within that world...

"

Apologies if I shouldn't have jumped in here, but from the asking of the question "Why is there anything at all?", it does NOT...

@lordofkronos It's been a while since I played but I believe it's pretty much random, although it may happen more often when you've made some clever plays.

@VirenKickedPresAss Hey I get it! She got fat! HAAAAAA HA HA HA HA!

(/Sarcasm)

@LanceDirk " It's not like Aphex twin music is made by computers, it's made by people."

Well said. This is an important idea that gets lost amid all the "Gee whiz, technology..." talk.

This just might be the funniest video on YouTube.

That dude with the bad hair and the ladies were very good sports.

3:35 they're definitely having sex.

@32peartree Re EWS: it ought to be a rule not to go so far off-topic for more than half a post. You'll just have to wonder (with due respect).

@Dymdez "Why did you leave that out?" Because the whole truth is not possible in just 500 chars. Obviously we didn't know exactly who/what we were dealing with for much of those 20 years.

Al-Qaeda in my view was a nucleation site, where anti-American sentiment (anti-Enlightenment might be more ...
