I understand you are exaggerating here for effect, but what he said was that college isn't for everyone, which is certainly true. He said Obama was a snob because he wants everyone to go to college, which is certainly not true. I think we should shoot for getting all of our nation's children in...

You know I agree here but most of your "generic" decorations are actually pagan ones. Eggs and chicks and bunnies are symbols of the pagan fertility rituals and the "Christmas" tree and wreaths and yule logs were for the winter solstice and represented a return of life after winter. I actually ...

I can't disagree. When this election cycle got going, I was pretty sure I was mad enough about Obama's policies that I wouldn't vote for him again... well, the republicans have proved me wrong. Voting for a batshit crazy social conservative like Santorum or a magic underwear wearing doll man l...

I got drunk the night I heard about Christopher's death. I thought he would have liked that.

To me, this argument has sort of devolved into the simple question, "Can a word mean more than one thing?" Yes, that is why they put those little numbers after the words in the dictionary, they show different meanings of the same word. I believe that agnostic can mean someone basically "on the ...

These examples you are giving are perfect examples of why anyone and everyone should have the right to occasionally go out and get a big fat sack and smoke the world away for a while.

I think that many mainstream Christians will throw Mitt under the bus if they find out a lot of the things said in the book of Mormon. They like their crazy bullshit to be thousands of years old, a couple hundred years is just not feasible.

If Jesus was American, I want to see his birth certi...

@oldcomic1 Of course, and that would be unfortunate but believe me that libertarians don't want the state to take too much power either. The smallest authority should handle disputes whenever possible.

Cool, can't disagree this time. All repubs seem to want are warm bodies they can use to spread their Imperialistic ideals around the globe. Right now, I'm most worried about a republican winning and overturning the repeal of Don't ask don't tell. My wife and I were actually in Hawaii with one ...

@truthslap This is a philosophical argument. Supporters of the free market believe that these problems will fix themselves through the market. I seriously doubt that you can show me where Dr. Paul said he would shut off a person's life support, he did take the hippocratic oath. How does the IR...

All people seem to know about Mormonism is that they are an modern day offshoot of the Christian faith and that they used to practice polygamy. More people (like Bill Maher is doing) need to show the populace just how insane Mormons are. Of course, main stream Christians aren't going to see the...

It's nice to see that progressives haven't forgotten how to throw a protest. I was starting to think that the teabaggers were the only ones doing it anymore. Good luck to all of you out there speaking truth to power!

@oldcomic1 Yeah, doubt that will ever happen though, seeing as how they can't be used for tobacco or alcohol at present.

Cool, I might hold the record for the longest featured comment. I do agree with AJ that ugly puppets should not be staked and I feel a touch guilty that I was taken that way. That puppet specifically is evil though and I still think you need to take that shag carpet thing with its human hands a...

The societies that do not replace themselves tend to be the most educated ones. How did the world exist in the past before we has such a large population? Was that a fluke of some sort? I fail to be convinced by your nicely animated stick figures.

I'm glad to see so many of the comments seem to understand the real issues. Technology in agriculture has more than kept up with population increases, so using food consumption as an example is ridiculous. Most of our modern problems really result from overpopulation and to call something a myt...

I don't mean to blaspheme but that puppet bordered on dummy creepiness... Here, stick some googly eyes and pink nose on this piece of purple shag carpet I pulled out of my van... and we'll give it green lips too and a creepy hat with 66 on it... If he turned his head farther would we see anoth...

@Pissoff254 You are right, your type of thinking will lead us directly to "Idiocracy". Having abortions have nothing to do with partying and saying such a thing cheapens the issue and reduces it to basically name calling. Forcing a child to come into this world unwanted is cruel, forcing a woma...

You know what might be good... if Imaginary Gary got mad and stormed off during one of these and Fundie could come out and say how wonderful the video is.

Usually, the dummy is under the person's control but I think that sort of "say what" was Marty's true self coming through. He's probably ...

My favorite weapon against toons has always been to draw a hole in the floor in front of them and watch them fall. If you really want to be mean, you could draw where the hole opens up and make it somewhere really crappy, like Jersey or soemthing.

I'm actually not sure about the legality of a t...

Oh yeah and he basically stole the put all criminals into one state thing from George Carlin, he just changed the state from George's "one of the square ones to make it easier to build fences" to Texas.

I have always said that I will honor someone's service but they each must be judged on an individual basis. Yes, a lot of them are huge assholes. Some wish to serve and that is fine, they usually come from a family with a military history and that is their choice. Bring the boys back home, exc...

@OgreVI Johnny Appleseed was a very real person, his real name was John Chapman and he really did spread apple seeds throughout Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. There's a good article about him on wikipedia. There are a few that think he was actually only spreading apple seeds to "improve" land and ...

It was sickening but the saddest thing is that the people booing were probably actually homosexuals themselves. The ones that come out the hardest against homosexuality are usually closeted homosexuals. Many of those saying how horrible homosexuality is can feel those "evil" gay thoughts and te...

@oldcomic1 I turned on the radio when I was driving today and even Rush Limbaugh was talking about how these things are not debates anymore. He said they are like extended press conferences for the candidates to get out their speaking points and the only debate part in it was if your name is men...

@oldcomic1 Under what I was proposing, each thing would have to be judged on its own merit and I'd say that if someone did what the governator did there, his pay would go down. Cuts would actually have to save money and bills would actually have to do something that was worthwhile for their pay ...
