I will be engaged in pumpkin hunting, chasing skirts, X-boxing and other American male activities this weekend and will leave you with the required reading;

American Manifesto
Yeah, that about sums up what real change Obama will bring to America. About as much success as "Live 8" did for Africa.
Time to mock sociology majors
How I listened to authority back then and how I still do to this day
How the Captain Proposes to a Girl
I love it when suburbanite chicks compare carat sizes
How the Captain would speak freely if he could in these socialist states of America
My Dad was a pastor. This is how I will run a church if I ever get one.
Why I'm a carry conceal permit holder
This is how true conservatives think. Not your namby pamby peace studies majors who want to make themselves feel good by going to a third world country to effectively do nothing.
My view on children.
And finally, why I gave up on Christianity, because it was too hard to believe on the little Sinai Peninsula Moses got lost for 40 years.
No, you'll be sitting around jerking off, since you are a Retardican, and that is the best you can do.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Sarah Palin, friend to rapists everywhere, will never be able to help you.
Wanker.
I love the MythBusters warning.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of when we used to do lines of blow with the anti-drug "White Lines" song playing in the background.
It reminds me of when we thought "Born in the USA" was a patriotic song.
It reminds me of doing it with "You don't have to take your clothes off" playing in the background.
It reminds me of warnings on Q-tip packages not to put Q-tips in my ear, which is precisely why I buy them.
Tell us not to do something, and it becomes an anthem for doing it. Isn't there a movie about this called, "Jackass"?
People should figure out what's bad for them the old-fashioned way: natural selection.
Hell, the Bible is full of stuff that's literally miraculous, you don't think God could steer them around to keep them lost in the freaking desert?
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind they were supposed to wander around until the original generation had died off before they could get to the promised land. It was one of those "punishment for disobedience" things.
I read your site for the economic commentary. When you start branching off into rants against religion, it's just more of the same tired crap I've seen a million times before from angsty little teenagers who think they're clever. What's next, asking if God can create a rock so big he can't lift it?
For all of those reading, Anon is a troll whose commentary I delete because it's not intelligent nor purposed. But the Sarah Palin rapist comments I deemed very representative of the psychos I screen.
ReplyDeleteRyan Fuller: What is he, your dancing monkey? It's his blog. If he wants to write a 10,000 word anti-something-you-don't-want-to-read screed, that's his bloody right.
ReplyDeleteBesides, if you're here just to read the economic commentary, how is it that you got all the way to the bottom link? I'd think that by the "you gonna drink that shoe" strip, you'd have realized this wasn't a lambasting of the bankers.
Or maybe not.
"It's just more of the same tired crap I've seen a million times before from angsty little teenagers who think they're clever. What's next, asking if God can create a rock so big he can't lift it?"
ReplyDeleteHeh. You know what I like about that latter point? It was clergy that came up with it as a question to pose to new members to test the resolve of their faith.
Thousand(s) of years later and it still hasn't been answered.
The fact is that, angsty or not, they have a better argument than you do. They have the backing of an entire field of philosophy and pretty much all of scientific theory and evidence, even if they don't understand it. The fact is, quite simply, that faith, religion, and belief's domain of information and data is constantly shrinking.
However, that's beside the point. John is right - you're reading the Captain's blog. You are not reading "The Captain's Commentary That is Entirely Related to Economics."
If what you're looking for is just a group of people who agree with you regardless of evidence or information, I hear the Democratic Party is looking for new members.
Hey John, did I say he couldn't talk about whatever he wants? No. I was giving feedback. This is a great blog, first one I check when I get online and the Captain has decided to provide a means of giving feedback and commentary on his blog. Until that feature is gone, I'll use it to give feedback and commentary.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like it fine, I don't care much for your response either, so whatever weight you're willing to give to comments like yours and mine (after all, not our blog) can be applied to my telling you to go screw yourself.
Way to take the high road there Fuller, how very Christian of you.
ReplyDelete"Thousand(s) of years later and it still hasn't been answered."
ReplyDeleteHere's your easy answer, Adam: God has the power to do what he says, but literal omnipotence is impossible because it produces logical paradoxes like the one above. Looks like I'm breaking new ground in theology.
"The fact is that, angsty or not, they have a better argument than you do."
I have personal experience. Unfortunately one person's personal experience is just another man's hearsay, so I don't expect you to believe and quite honestly I'd question your reasoning if you were to simply believe because somebody else does, so I'm not going to try to convince you. Lets just say that your arguments aren't going to get anywhere with me.
"However, that's beside the point. John is right - you're reading the Captain's blog. You are not reading "The Captain's Commentary That is Entirely Related to Economics.""
And you're reading the comments section of the Captain's blog, where anybody can come by and say whatever, and if the Captain deems it to not be a total waste of time then he'll post it. Cry some more if you don't like it.
"If what you're looking for is just a group of people who agree with you regardless of evidence or information, I hear the Democratic Party is looking for new members."
If you're suggesting that my views are somehow in line with the Democrats, please go hang yourself.
I'm not looking for agreement, I'm looking for better arguments from the Captain because I know he's capable of it. He's spot on the mark in economics, his social commentary is usually good if a bit slanted towards the "1940s were social utopia" side of things, he's a rational guy, but when it comes to religion the quality of the argument slips towards straw men and blunt generalizations. I don't care that he doesn't agree with me, I'm just commenting that his remarks about religion aren't up to the high bar he sets with the rest of his commentary. Saying he couldn't believe the Bible because of the improbability of Moses getting lost for 40 years? With all the rest of the stuff in there, that's the bit that's too hard to swallow?
It'd be nice to be able to comment on this without some random jackholes thinking I'm browbeating him because he doesn't believe the same things I do about religion. Way to go, idiots.
