I used to frikken love the old ones though when I was a kid but these new ones, especially the David Tennant ones are just too cheesy.
Meh, maybe I'm getting too old.
Because they were written, or otherwise conducted, by an especially cheesy person, Russel T. Davies. If Steven Moffat had the helms during David Tennant's run, it would've been much better - as dictated by episodes like Blink and Girl in the Fireplace.

New series, though, is better overall. You start to notice, though, that Steven Moffat gets considerably worse the more exposure he gets.

My favourite episode of the new series is the one written by Neil Gaiman, The Doctor's Wife. I liked it so much that I think the series would do much better if the entire series was written by Neil Gaiman.
I'm gonna back-pedal like a mo'fo here and say "blink" was pretty excellent. I never knew they used different writers so that's maybe why some come across as being made for an audience of 5 year old hippy children and others...Not so much.

Another thing that pisses me off so much with Doctor Who is why the daleks, the most killy, hateful things in the galaxy, always let the doctor yammer on and escape instead of just shooting him in the face.

@Tony Parsehole:

I'm gonna venture a guess that the reason you don't like the new ones is because you liked the old ones when you were younger, and the new ones are different. I've seen the same thing happen with almost every long-running or rebooted show. For example, I love X-Men: The Animated Series (1992-1997), but hate X-Men: Evolution (2000-2003).

I think there's a name for this, but I can't remember what it is.

One of my issues with feminism and FTB is the increasing acceptance of the primacy of "lived experience" over skepticism and critical thinking.
Last year an NPR show called Radio Lab did a story on the history of the "Yellow Rain" controversy. For those who don't know; back in the 80's there were reports that the soviets were supplying chemical weapons to Laos and Vietnam to suppress insurgencies. The Reagan administration made hay of this in their anti-soviet campaign and to justify increases in the defense spending. It turned out that the yellow rain was not chemical weapons but bee feces. This was likely known by Washington but hushed up.
So Radio Lab did a story on this and included an interview with a Hmong man and his granddaughter-who acted as an interpreter. When the told the man that the scientific evidence showed that the yellow rain was non-toxic bee feces-the result of a natural occurrence, and that there was no evidence that the soviets or the government of Laos used chemical weapons, the man and his granddaughter became extremely upset.
A few months later the interpreter wrote a blog post accusing the interviewers of racism and strongly implying that they were responsible for a miscarriage that she suffered. She continues to blog and accuse the reporters of racism, insisting that the Hmong were attacked with chemical weapons. And the SJW's are rallying to her cause.

I've seen the new Doctor Who exclusively, and it goes like this:

1) Season 1: Campy as shit, Ninth Doctor is badass as hell, Billie Piper can act
2) Season 2: David Tenant, sucks ass for a few episode, Rose leaves, things start to get pretty decent.
3) Season 3: The Master happens and the best story-arc in the new series.
4) Season 4: Awesome season. Donna is (and the actress who plays her is funny as hell) amazing, the series is actually at its peak
5) Season 5: Matt Smith. Season sucks for a few episodes, then gets interesting. You slowly start to hate Amy less because of her boyfriend. End of season is fantastic
6) Season 6: Cultivates mystery and intrigue, has an amazingly written episode by Gaiman, and then sends it down the shitter toward the end. Decline of the series
7) Season 7: Utter shit with no character development. I haven't seen anything past the shitty Christmas special, and do not intend to

Rape is a structural crime in that it's an exercise of oppression under The Patriarchy. As women are the primary victims in The Patriarchy it is in fact impossible for them to commit rape due to its structural nature. At best this could be considered a sexual assault, but again since women are the primary victims of sexual assault under The Patriarchy it would be problematic to frame it that way as it would delegitamise the lived experience of women. Ultimately this must be considered nonconsensual sexual congress, but not unconsensual. This distinction is important, as women under The Patriarchy are incapable of conferring or even requesting consent. In short, if he didn't want it he shouldn't have been there.

Shit, where to even begin?

"And here is an article that I want to read that no one, as far as I can tell, has yet written: the weird language policing in the feminist internet. The trigger warnings and use of the phrase "rape culture," the talk of "privilege" and how if you don't use the proper language in these discussions that go on in comment sections your point is rendered invalid. Also, how you can shame a person with one of these accusations: sustaining rape culture, exercising privilege. Or how a woman shamed Laurie Penny into changing the language of a column, because she had used the word "crazy" and the woman started a campaign against Penny because, as a woman who had struggled with mental illness, she found the word offensive. Someone write that please. We would print it in Bookslut."

In PZ's new article about the recent troubles of Sam Harris he completely ignores how recent articles on Al Jazeera, Salon, the Guardian, and Vice slam not only Harris but all of New Atheism as an movement for neocon foreign policy and anti-Muslim hatred. The reason PZ doesn't take them to task for lumping in all new atheists is because he so desperately wants to turn atheism from the politically plural group that it is now into a progressive vanguard that would fit right in with groups like the Center For American Progress.

Every time PZ, Carrier, or the others call for a purge non-progressives are always targets.
They are the ones that say atheism naturally leads to progressive public policy. I think one reason people like Carrier like to down play church/state issues when talking about 'growing the movement' is the popularity of those issues with atheist social libertarians. I can't help but see not only the radical feminist roots of A+ but the radical socialist roots as well, since they often draw from the same playbook.

I actually consider myself somewhat of a progressive and probably agree with PZ and many of the others on a wide range of issues but I actually like the political pluralism of modern atheism, for me it's a good bridge to civil libertarians that I otherwise wouldn't have. I also can't help but note the clear polarizing political moves from the FTBers, A+ers, and Skepchicks and it ticks me off: atheism loses a valuable flexibility if political conformity is enforced. I don't want atheism to turn into another political echo chamber, it doesn't need to do that and actually hurts chances to deconvert people (which is a dubious goal but one that I have some affinity for) in one of the places where it's most needed, where I live, the American South. The stigma of the "Atheist Commie" is still strong here and it turns a ton of people away. Anyway, that's my rant on PZ's latest little number.

Don't you understand? Clearly, by singing about a flag, Brad Paisley has proven to be a racist.

I very strongly agree with this.
Honestly, looking on from the outside, it seems to me that the US A/S community's biggest demographical problem is the lack of political diversity, not the lack of ethnic minorities. The only groups of people I've seen actually being dissuaded from joining the US atheism community are not women or minorities, but republicans and libertarians, often by the sort of people you usually find commenting on FTB, who even use the terms as slurs.

If we want diversity in the movement that means diversity in thought as well as skin color, gender, sexual preference etc. Our atheist meetup group has some registered republicans, and a couple of libertarians. It even has (gasp) an Objectivist. A fucking Objectivist I tell you. Seriously.

It seems that PeeZee, a guy with a blog on the internet, needs to learn how to use it properly: you always need to check your sources before getting angry at any shit you see. But don't worry, my liege, I have the guy for the job:

Redhead Screamer: "Any pressures or expectations that lower the quality of life of any gender are Patriarchy!"

Redhead Screamer: "We don't hate you because you're men. We hate you because you're fucking MRAs!"

Guy: Those men are voted in by an electorate that is 55% women.

Feminist dude: "55% is not a majority!

Guy: What's a majority, then?

Feminist dude: "A majority is like 70%, 90%."

I like to think of Meyers getting cornrows put in his beard before writing this.

The fat bearded imbecile is a gift that keeps giving.

Have you seen season 3 episodes yet? Looks like it's going to be good.

Yeah, it was on tonight. Great stuff so far but i wonder how they're going to cram this one into 10 episodes.

I heard that season 3 will cover about half of the third book "A Storm of Swords" and season 4 the other half.

At the rate the books are getting published they will have to split Feast for Crows into 6 seasons

My ears started to bleed after 2 min. I'd rather spend the rest of my life listening to nails on a blackboard than 1 more minute of that shrill woman.

PZ Fucking Myers makes out that all these minor things like singing about a flag and internet rape jokes are OH SO FUCKING SCARY AND HURTFUL as if he's never seen anything like it before. His blogposts endorsing tentacle rape porn make him such a fucking hypocrite.

Take away the feminist narrative, and it just looks like a female preacher. Deliberate? (Tour de force?)

By the way, could that be the "Redhead" of Nerd? (Even though she's clearly not, that's hardly natural.)

For those of you keeping up, I got good news. I was cleared of both Prostate and Bladder Cancer. Whew! Now, onto the Kidneys, Liver and Pancreas. Eventually, they'll figure it out.

Anyhow, thought I'd pop in and say hello to all my Pit friends. Hello, Pit Friends!
Only a true misogynist would notice pretty girls.

Glad to hear you've got a few clear organs (my father died of bladder cancer and it is nasty so that's a very good clear), good luck on the rest.
I would post pictures, but I'd probably end up getting keel-hauled. All I have to say is that I've got a few sets of beads, and kudos to the designers of these newfangled bathing suits for saving all that money on manufacturing costs related to material costs.

Thanks for the well-wishes (along with everyone else). Much appreciated.
Oh, come on now! NOT FAIR! I love pictures of pancreas, bladder and prostate! Party pooper.

Mmmm. Ofal and humble pie.

(Oh, and great news Al. Keep it up.)

It could be but until I see a citation it's all just opinion and is therefore dismissed.
