Go ahead but you can dispense with the big talk.

By the way I teach philosophy and I doubt that there is anything you can put forward that I am unfamiliar with. And I will not respond to personal attacks.

Santorum is an idiot. Bush put us into an unjustified war in Iraq which wasted 4500 American lives for nothing and will cost $3 trillion at the end of the day.

This collection of clowns running for the GOP nomination is what is dangerous.

Now it is time to get laid by one of the weepy eyed beauties in the audience.

Unfortunately this is one of the weakest performances of Cohen's wonderful piece. Compare with Allison Crowe's version with the power of her voice and emotion.

@iliketorofllol You are an idiot plain and simple. A half bright middle school child would beat your brains out in a debate.

@shallbeagain This is a short talk and your points are addressed in detail in the book.

@mr1001nights I agree and the possibility of posting this silly, ideologically driven "lecture" which massively misses most of Pinker's claims and expands the scope of violence unduly, would not have been possible without technology. Technology derived from science, government, and democracy.

Fine piece and I look forward to reading the book for the details of his extensive research. Most of the contrary posts here either go off on tangents are don't realize the degree of scrutiny he gave to this issue historically.

And it will also be resisted by those who feel compelled to remain w...

I think people should in most cases accept their appearance but screw the God comment. What matters is what we choose and some choose unwisely.

This is funny as can be in showing that even when Gingrich is right such as on climate change and immigration the right is so brainless, factless, and mean that he is repudiated for them.

And that fool Limbaugh ought to be locked up in a mental institution.

@ranebow5

Yes, you would be one of the stupid, slavish, servile, sons of bitches, who helped one of the worst mass murderers in history. Too bad. We destroyed the Reich and helped build Germany into a decent civilized country. What don't you find an little island and be your own little Nazi...

Bluemontana, you must not get much information where you live.

Both are morons? Yes, I guess that being a professor of economics who won the Nobel Prize in Economics makes one a moron.

How is O'Reilly "successful"? Jerry Springer is successful at making money and probably smarter. Being ri...

@ArnoldTohtFan Fuck you Nazi. We smashed you sorry asses and it's over.

But you are right with the fucked up part. He is one fucked up person.

An overrated plane. Completely vulnerable to fighters and not in the class of the P-47 for ground attack.

vcsniper, I return your pity in spades.

@Grapadapapa You need to read some history and read about what German historians themselves are writing about the Hitler cult which gripped Germans quite voluntarily. They adored their insane leader and followed him like sheep like a herd of willing jackasses. Germans today know a lot more th...

Sammy, actually the NASA data does corroborate the work of the IPCC. (See Mark Maslin's of University College, London's work.

You guys need to get over your dislike of Gore and actually read something serious.

Bachmann is a dogmatic religious nut who rejects evolutionary theory because it do...

Poor taste or simple taste would pick something like "The Patriot" and the laughable "Officer and a Gentleman" and think that Flyboys was a better film than Saving Private Ryan. There is a virtual consensus that All Quiet on the Western Front was the greatest war film of all time. You can add T...

Rozzville, I have three degrees and eat morons like you and the illiterate "Mos Def" better named "most stupid and ignorant" for breakfast. The KKK loves fools like this and it is a pity that he is embraced.

I would suggest you read some just war theory and some serious people on the left and...

Giantsandles, I hardly claimed or insinuated that anyone who is anti-war, and I am certainly against most wars including the one in Iraq, supports Al-Qaeda. Perhaps you need to return to middle school and acquire some reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

@theodorichen

Good post, theo, and that line from Bachmann is one more piece of evidence, as if more was needed, that Bachmann is a dumb as post. I think her understanding of science is what one expects from the cracker bible college Oral Roberts which she attended. The level of those who put...
