Oh, crap...while I was commenting about the guy with the ENORMOUS zit, I completely missed that the douche being interviewed is named Boyle...as in ENORMOUS zit. I don't see these brain dead idiots as a threat. In your own words, a hearty fuck to you, too. What a ridiculous way to waste a life.

What a great site! The world need more comedy, and these goofballs are good at it. I particularly like the way the guy in the idiotic sunglasses pretends to know what Jesus is about and mocks his own Mother. Also, the other fellow with the ENORMOUS zit and his partner with the Goonies T-Shirt are good for a hearty laugh. Keep it up guys. All of those secular Christians and Pagans have got your back. Hope that works out for you.

"Funny how not a shred of it is objectively verifiable or has shown up in one single peer-reviewed science journal."

And it never will in fear of being discredited and loss of all funding.

I get it, you're a meat sack with a miserable little blip of an existence.

I remember past lives so I'm crazy or I have a immortal consciousness and you don't.

The only difference is I want people to find out for themselves and investigate where you say they are fools and idiots for not agreeing with you.

@TraxTheAlien Look at that! A for-profit company selling DVDs claiming to have evidence of the paranormal. Funny how not a shred of it is objectively verifiable or has shown up in one single peer-reviewed science journal.

@canhamducbet well the reason im guessing to make this mandate is because the republicans keep destroying useful things like Planned parenthood that provide things like birth control and other health services to impoverished people so this is one way to help them out without hurting anyone or raising the dreaded taxes they always cry about

[canhamducbet]

@apartmentj I find that agreeable, but I don't think that is what Obama was purposing with his mandate.

[apartmentj]

@canhamducbet correct  their is absolutely no reason to assault anyone

[afkwerewolf]

@Gogreenfor2010 ...

[canhamducbet]

@apartmentj So you are saying your preferred solution would be to ostracise them and those who do business with them, and that you would in know way advocate they be assaulted?

[apartmentj]

@canhamducbet I thought i was pretty clear on how to apply it to the insurance.... If you sell insurance you have these rules to abide by... that's it if you don't want to follow the rules, you can't sell insurance plain simple. You want to do business with the national currency and be part of the system of any particular society there are rules to follow. so you follow them and enjoy.

[canhamducbet]

@apartmentj How do you apply your toy sharing scenario to the insurance companies? That doesn't seem like a mandate situation. I mean, what if insurance companies ignore the mandate, and their customers still purchase insurance from them? Is that OK with you? If their relationship with with their customers is peaceful and purely consequential, then what is the problem?

[antonahill]

@vulcanus30 I don't know what you mean by "fundamental property of the universe", and though I agree that consciousness is mysterious, this doesn't mean that people literally float up out of their bodies under any circumstances.

[y0nd3r]

@antonahill Thank you.

[apartmentj]

@Gogreenfor2010 ??? trololololol

[NoizeIndexMusic]

Lee's hair is the sex. Great episode like always guys, I will be sure to spread it!

[apartmentj]

@Gogreenfor2010 apartmentj[dot}com we are working on it

[apartmentj]

@canhamducbet no not push them out just they cant play with the toys kinda like if i was part of a school yard and all i had to do was contribute a toy i could play with all of them. if i contribute no toy then i get not toy. . the option to not participate is just that you play with the toys you have to follow the rules or you can't play. offer birth control at no co-pay or don't sell insurance no one is forcing them to be an insurance company just that if they are they have rules

[canhamducbet]

@apartmentj Well, Is your mandate just a bluff, or do you mean to use force to support your idea? If you are not going to attempt use reason to convince people that you have a good idea, then doesn't your mandate have to at some point resort to murder and mayhem? If there is a region of people who respectfully decline to adopt your idea and would rather pursue their own. Are you going to send in the storm troopers, remove them from their homes and push them into the wilderness?

[antonahill]

@y0nd3r I've known a few Catholics, and no, being "born again" is not part of their doctrine. I can't speak as much about Greek and Russian Orthodox, but since they're not part of the same movement as people like the Southern Baptists, I feel confident in suggesting that no, they don't hold the doctrine either. My memory of Episcopalians is also no. As for Methodists, I'm really not sure.

[y0nd3r]

@antonahill 'born again' is not in their doctrine?

[vulcanus30]

@antonahill On one hand we have many NDE studies that suggest there's something weird going on and on other hand we have qualia - the hard problem of consciousness. There are many scientific theories of consciousness that suggest it's a fundamental property of the universe... or something like that :)

[antonahill]

@vulcanus30 People born blind have brains. Those brains are capable of producing imagery even without the external stimulus of the eyes. Know how I know? Because all brains are capable of doing this. How has OBE perception during NDEs been verified? Just checked out Penny. She doesn't say she's proved literal NDEs. She says she's collected subjects' stories. How is that evidence that the literal NDEs occurred?

[antonahill]

@vulcanus30 I never said that life and consciousness weren't a huge mystery. What I said was that for the positive claim that there are (literal) NDEs, there's no evidence. If you know of some that somehow eluded the press, scientific community, and believing community, please point it out.
