If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Art or degradation? http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-vi ... 2281n.html. Ewe decide.

Interesting - http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-a ... 228cs.html - and apropos.

Fuck me. This Surly Amy has a severe case of "It's all about me". Targeted? Bullshit. Overly sensitive princess who went there hoping, nay praying, to be victimised? Hell yeah. And as for the commentariat on OB's blog. Fuck me sideways. As that paragon of Australian culture and sensitivity, Chopper ...

Those dastardly communists, the British, want to make access to research publications free - http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-te ... 226aw.html - and not free market.

About bloody time.

Bugger. I didn't mean that, either. It was Gimli discussing dwarf women and beards.

Never mind.

What I really meant was - [youtube][/youtube]

RebeccaB - you mean something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip5T89jfJoA

I notice that no one has picked up on Julian's character failings, nor addressed whether telling someone to commit suicide is worse that asking whether someone is single, on that axpergers site.

Meanwhile, back on the farm, OBs crowd are hilariously still trying to pick the response of all you misogynists to Pamela Gay's speech.

And not a single photo of the local fauna.

I say that we have won this battle.

And don't mistake these for fluffy bunnies. They're the size of a Sherman tank and have been known to walk straight through an outdoor dunny, scaring fifty shades of hell into the occupant.

You put toothpaste behind your ears for these beggars.

Particularly in Western Australia.

That is so cool Andrew. We only have drop bears and koala bears here in Australia. Mind you, you have to look out for the drop bears. Koalas are pretty slow all in all.

Well OB apparently does have a consensual S/M relationship with Franc. So there is that in her favour? hahaha! You could not pay him to even sit in a room with her and sadistically abuse her emotionally while he wears a blindfold so he does not have to look at her. But I'm sure that MK "Fifty Shade...

BTW - are any of you lot single? http://freethoughtblogs.com/axp/2012/07 ... ment-63865

I'm not, so don't bother harassing me.

What is that prune looking thing, decius?

Aparently Pamela Gay is Christian and this is unsettling to PZ and others, so it would appear that they are displacing their loathing onto us. Here's DJ talking about inviting her to TAM. http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1023-pz-myers-pamela-gay-and-atheistic-skeptic-organizations.html...

I have found the obsession with certain people to be tedious - I prefer ideas (or left field humour totally unrelated to the thread direction).

I can't speak for the Hogglinator, but I suspect that he would wear the picture posted by caede with some pride.

Hi TT aka Wonderist. I really enjoyed your work on Ask and Atheist. If that is being a newbie to the Socratic method then I'll have some of what you are having.

There is some serious troll on troll action going on in that laden thread. :evil:

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/ ... 21w78.html - hurt feelings or dead. Hmm. Must be a misogynist.

I think that, when attached to MRA, it was equivalent to calling Obama a muslim, communist, atheist, fascist.

My impression was/is similar to Parge's. I'm not sure how it came to be considered an insult on Pharyngula, nor how it came to be conflated with pick up artists (PUA).

Right then. I'm going straight across to ERV and will open multiple tabs andf leave them open for five minutes. Got to do my bit of ervulating.

Rashul roar - we Kiwis are generally pretty laid back, and the majority of our right wingers would be considered communist in the good ole US of A. That being said; we do have our loopys, too. A page or two back someone asked about your nym and put up some thoughts. Can't recall whether you answered...

This is misogyny - not calling people rude words.
