Can't Trust A Man Who Cheated On His Wife

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:48:38 GMT

Fox News has difficulty coming up with reasons why we shouldn't trust John Edwards to run for president because he had an affair, but we should trust John McCain even though he did.

Sean Hannity looks like a douchebag as usual, but kudos to Alan Colmes for not being a mindless idiot and questioning the logic here.

Bloc Party

This band is amazing

I listen to their stuff on Pandora a ton, and I think it's time I devoted some of my money to their albums.

Great music. Especially recommended for fans of Arcade Fire and/or Radiohead

I started laughing hysterically at work when I read "The Spocker". Thank God I was alone in the room, that'd be awkward to show my boss.

Religious Bias

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:30:36 GMT

I want to preface this by saying I am not this argumentative usually but when Dan asks questions like this it just sort of falls into place that people keep expressing extremely, and in this case admittedly, contradictory opinions. But the contradiction doesn't seem to matter.

Christian: I know you're talking about that, but reading a Bible story just isn't the same as showing someone sex in a movie. I'm sorry if you disagree, please know, I do understand where you're coming from. Like someone previously said, it is part of many people's religion. I wouldn't stop someone from reading any history book, just because there is sex in it. It's history and history is important.

Me: So you would let your children read about Vlad the Impaler and how he impaled thousands women through the vagina with 10 foot wooden stakes along the road alive for people to see?

Christian: What I'm saying is... the Bible is an important part of MY religion. If you don't want your kids to read it, then fine. It's pointless to continue arguing with you, because you won't change your mind and I won't change mine. We have different worldviews...

Me: My point is, if it wasn't part of your religion, you wouldn't want your kids reading it.

Christian: Perhaps...

I lament.

It's like if it involves the bible, the need to defend it against all else comes into play, like if for some reason something logical doesn't make sense about it, then its the end of the world.

Can't say I blame them. If the bible is wrong, they are more retarded than we already know them to be.

Fuck Fundamentalists.

1.9 Gigabytes

Matt(on phone): Hey Al, can our printer server handle a 1955 MB print job?
*I laugh hysterically next to him*
Matt: Yeah 1.9 Gigs.
Matt: Some Travel Guide PDF, says the print queue is stuck and it won't let people clear it.
Me: Wow....

This was an actual event at work today.
Some people are really dumb.

How Does Belief Start

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:28:59 GMT

I wonder how people can so blindly follow faith.

I began to feel sad today when looking through some Xanga's of the stereotypical Fundamentalist Bible Carrying Christians. Not really because of what they write, and how dumb it makes them look - but because of how they really look. The pictures, they look like... normal people.

And it's disturbing that beliefs so radical are disguised so easily.

One thing all these people have in common:

You will not go to heaven if you don't recognize Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
Those who do, will go to heaven regardless
They do good in their life not to better their fellow man, but to be closer to Jesus

This last bullet disturbs me. I've heard so many people say things like "Man always fails you, but Jesus is always there to guide you."

What does that say about a person? Every human they've met they have no faith in, but someone they've never seen, heard, or known is reliable? Does this make them narcissistic in a sense, that they have something, a connection, that non-Christians can't have?

It's hard to stomach.

I read a dictionary definition of Christian, which differs what a fundamentalist Christian defines a Christian as.

A fundamentalist believes a Christian is one who accepts Jesus as their lord and saviour. This is the only requirement.

I liked this dictionary definition more:
"One who follows the teaching of Christ."

You know what, for the most part, I would say a good percentage of non-Christians do this. Jesus preached peace and understanding, and love - for all not just Christians. For sinners and non-sinners.

He preached knowledge and wisdom, learning more about the world, bettering your better man, and being true and loyal.

I have found few of these qualities in very few Fundamentalists.

Fundamentalists like to throw around a phrase (That few actually follow) "Hate the sin, not the sinner."

I have one for me: "Hate the follower, not the faith."

Its not the faith - I realize this now, their beliefs do not come from their faith. These corrupt and selfish believes are traits of the person, a person who has used Christianity as a crutch. An excuse for their personality flaws, an excuse and reasons to hate or feel disdain towards certain people - to make them feel better about themselves.

Some Christians are unworthy of their faith.

How does the corruption start?

What do you consider the single most important event in your life?

Playing Starcraft - Made me the nerd I am today. I would be someone completely different without being absorbed in the internet subculture and the gaming subculture. I definitely wouldn't have even heard of Xanga.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

I'm not an officer, but I don't see the reason for tasering somebody laying there with a broken back

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:06:09 GMT

His aunt says he is undergoing major surgery for a broken back and broken heel. While he was lying on the ground, she wonders why Ozark police used an electric stun gun on him up to 19 times.

Wait, what?

“He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to deploy their Tasers in order to subdue him. He is making incoherent statements; he's also making statements such as, ‘Shoot cops, kill cops,’ things like that. So there was cause for concern to the officers,”

Okay that makes perfect sense, except for the part about him having just fell off a fucking bridge, and he's laying there with a broken back:

By the time officers arrived, the teen was off the 30-foot overpass, lying on the shoulder below along U.S. 65, with no good explanation as to how he got there.

“It's a big concern for the officers to keep this guy out of traffic, to keep him from getting hurt”

Well then tasing him 19 times sounds like a good idea!

News article is here

Honestly that's absurd.

Good times, bad times, tough times.

Problems between us, death of parent, loss of friends, depression, isolation, distance and other troubles. But in the end there's still the simple fact that matters:

We're in love.

Happy Anniversary, Chrissy.
