Poor Peezus only wants to make "this movement better and healthier." Why is everyone trying to squelch his efforts? <snip> There is an easy way for Peezus to make this movement better and healthier. I hear Guyana is nice and warm at this time of the year. His Horde will enjoy life in Myerstown in t...

And what makes this newcomer any different? Seeing that little rant, it's just another ideological purity test. The Pharyngulites and PZ obviously failed in his/her eyes. What do you imagine he/she would think of any slymepit regular? We'd probably be defined as mysoginist/chillgirl rape apologists...

LurkerPerson wrote:Why are people defending that insane screecher? Because he/she's attacking PZ and his horde? It's the same nutbag ideology, but it's aimed at "our enemies", so all of a sudden it's ok?

The hypocrisy exposed by it can still be funny and applauded without agreeing with the lunacy right?

You cant have it both ways. You cant say hey i cant give any details but if you assume any details or do any conjecture its victim blaming. Without details there is no victim there is a rumor of a victim. Without any details you cant blame anyone since there is nothing to directly criticize. Fucking...

Carrie Poppy Oh, if it was a reference to the "creepy" wine thing, that's fine (I hadn't even heard that story). But the woman who made the statement to PZ said the story involved alcohol, too. She says she was raped. So all along shes crying victim blaming and is clueless to what was said on the b...

Sorry, I side with 'seated'. 'Deep-seated' is an actual phrase that comes from construction. 'Deep-seeded' is just something someone came up with because they figured "Hey, seeds are in the ground, right? So it makes more sense that they're 'deep', right?" What can I say? It's a doggy dog world. Ca...

This calls for some Sagan: "Science is more than a body of knowledge: Itâ€™s a way of thinking; a way of skeptically interrogating the universe.

Rape Jokes bad and contribute to a culture of violence against women.

However joking about bullying and the violent culture that creates is fair game to trivialize.

Self awareness Non existent.

Well, Silverman's gone all in, making the noises FtBers want to hear -- feminism follows from atheism, rape jokes, uppity women, kick out the misogynists, he's always been a feminist, yadda, yadda.
