jrpapinichapla....I found Rebecca's diviation from your expressed expertise protocol completely refreshing, and more importantly, she is up there speaking and spreading enlightenment while you are doing what? writing critical comentary? give her a break!

You're kidding me? They (soon) can withhold specific medication, because of religious delusions?

This is getting insane...

Perhaps we really should just make ourselves a new country somewhere, and stop sharing knowledge with the rest of the world Oo

Any form humanism/feminism that isn't grounded in belief of objective morals is irrational and arbitrary.

For this reason, Skepticism + feminism = irrational.

The overwhelmingly ignorant bias was almost too obnoxious for me to finish the video.

feminism is wrong humanism is correct

@WoobaOne The thing is, anti-vaxxers aren't claiming anything of the sort. They're claiming vaccination at it's core is more dangerous than not vaccinating. It's demonstrable bollocks, Let's not even go into the weirder (read reckless, dangerous and illegal) side of the anti-vax movement like pox parties and sending infected items via mail. This IS a very bad thing, as are the social repercussions incurred from reduced vaccination on a whole.

@rabidsi While most people understand that vaccines are a good thing, you do not have to dig that far back into our government's past to find them running tests on people with all sorts of horrible things and not telling them what was really being done. It is not necessarily a bad thing to wonder if letting the government inject people is a good thing. It is just too bad that we usually have to wait 50 years before the truth comes out...

She must be one of the worst public speakers I've witnessed. She says "uhm" every other word. Nervously giggle after every sentence, like she constantly tries to seek approval. This is effectively running her ethos in to the ground, no confidence in the body language, constantly digress from the point...

All this render her opinons pretty much invalid to me, because it seems that see does not belive in what she says. She lacks the confidence. I've seen better speechs when I was in 9th grade.

[AtheismKills]

Well now Rebecca knows that conservatives aren't the only ones who bash feminists like her. Everyone else does too!

[EdgePitSwing]

@Tr3xKuro HAHA! Touche sir

An example of this would be a radical feminist accusing a man of being a misogynistic pervert for asking to get a cup of coffee with a girl.

I like Bill and I like Rebecca, I don't always agree with both. Name the quote "organizing atheists is like herding cats, however if get enough together they'll make a lot of noise." Occupy your city
