I’m going to see it tomorrow. I’m pretty easily entertained by movies, so we’ll see.
I saw the trashiest truck on the way home from the store. It was a big black Ford with testicles dangling from the back bumper. There was a sticker on the back window that had someone humping the word “you”, which I guess was supposed to mean “fuck you.” There was also a “real men lick pussy” sticker right next to it. And to top it all off there was this picture;
I didn’t understand it at first until a friend pointed out what it meant. 2 for da pink, 1 for da stink.
Suicide Squad is getting panned and hearing that made my day. Will Warner Bros. come to their senses and hire competent filmmakers with respect for the source material to reboot their failed universe? Will Zack Snyder retreat to live alone in a cave? Tune in next time! Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!
That’s too bad. I can’t say I was looking forward to it, but I wanted it to be good.
MSNBC has an Emoji segment 😂👌💯🙌🙏👉👌
I’m considering upgrading from insisting that this projected be completed to demanding it. I don’t take this lightly, and realise it’s a big step ratcheting it up like this, but at this point I feel I may have no choice.
Stand by.

that you delete your account. Your move.
I just binge-watched both seasons of Rick and Morty. Probably the best show that I’ve seen, no doubt the best cartoon. My favorite episode was probably Lawnmower Dog, it’s a sign of damn good writing that they were able to set up a believable motivation for a dog uprising in a 30 minute time block. This show is incredible at switching very quickly from being funny, to sad, to dark without suffering from tone issues.
9/10
Yeah. How does ; ( translate into constipation, anyway?
How does it look on your end?
Probably not very good.

Yeah, well, you know what? I have to draw the line somewhere. I’m not gonna resurrect a 20 day old thread.
Finally watched Rick and Morty. Good show.
If emoticons are good, emojis are fine too. They convey the exact same thing; they just look different.
That’s the problem though. They look different. Emoticons blend in perfectly with a line of text. Emojis don’t. Their disgusting contorted yellow faces steal your attention away from the text. Non-colored Emojis (like this site has) are a little better, but I still don’t like 'em.
Why don’t you use question marks?
There’s no question mark Emoji.
Functionally they serve very similar purposes.
The main purpose being destroying thousands of years of written language development.
Emoticons are helpful and can give pointers on the tone of the conversation. See;
You’re such a piece of shit.
You’re such a piece of shit 😛
The latter is friendly banter, the former is an insult, and that’s indicated by the tongue-outy face.
Emojis are a blight upon humanity and probably worse than Stalin. I also hate how some sites automatically turn Emoticons into Emojis.
Why.
You’re not allowed to question it. It’s a fact. Emojis are the worst thing since the creation of the universe.
Why.

I do think there’s such a thing has emoji over use.
I’ve never seen a tasteful use of Emoji, it’s always a bunch of spammed crying laughing faces and 100s and fucking “ok” hand signs.
I also hate how Emojis look compared to Emoticons. When put in a line of text, they stand out really strangely with all the colors and shit.

People should learn to write and learn to write well. Pen and paper are a lost art because of filthy Millennials thinking they’re not necessary because they can just text their friends messages that the government can see.
I do think that Twitter and texting are making people functionally illiterate. If you ever doubt that a significant portion of our population are absolute fools, then take a look at social media. The average message looks something like this:
“U r got to be jk wit me. pics or it didn hapen. Btw, were U at, gurl?”
Also, how you write today would be described the same way to people from 200 years ago.
I doth bethink yond the young people art functionally illit’rate. If 't be true thee ev’r doubteth yond a significant p’rtion of our population art absolute daws, then taketh a behold at the schoolyard. The av’rage message looks something liketh this:
“You’ve got to be kidding me. I don’t believe you. Also, where are you?”
Sonic is lame.
So, am I supposed to be seeing a connection to Sonic in this image, or are you comparing, saying that this picture is better than Sonic? And am I supposed to be paying attention to the fat person makin’ flames on a scooter or the sweet rides in the background?
The picture is unrelated.
Sonic is lame.
The human workforce is being slowly phased out by robots, I don’t think it’s a huge jump to assume that handwriting will become obsolete.
Um… I’m pretty sure the fact that the average American from the current/previous generation can’t write well enough to read it is a problem that needs to be fixed in the education system, not forgotten because typing is easier. People still have to physically write in this day and age, and we’d best make sure they can do it properly.
Don’t worry, it was an exaggeration. I’ve only not been able to read my own handwriting like twice in my life.
Most people don’t have good cursive penmanship.
I don’t even have good printing penmanship. I can hardly read my own handwriting.
What is even the point of cursive?
Let me ask you an honest pair of questions. Yes, of course there will be follow-up, though it may be several days before I can spare a few minutes to return to this. Here they are:
Has religion contributed any evil to this world? Please cite examples, and be fair.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamist_terrorist_attacks
Evil things are done in the name of religion, but that does not make them speak for all religion. Nor do all religious or religious people bear the sins of those who have committed evil in their name.
Also, just because crimes are committed by people who are religious does not mean you can ascribe their crime to being religious.
Actually I can, it’s pretty easy to do when terrorists are going around screaming “Allahu akbar” and named their organization the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Perhaps I misinterpret your point, though.
You do, but the fault is mine, actually, as I did not phrase correctly. Yes, some kill in the name of religion. Yet some religious people kill for other reasons. What I should have said is that you cannot ascribe all crimes committed by religious people to their being religious.
I don’t think I have. If anything I said was construed in that way, then know that I do not think that. I don’t think someone committing an unrelated crime who happens to be religious should have their religion blamed for the crime. Maybe the Hitler thing is what you’re referring to, but I admitted I was wrong as much as my ego could allow.
So ultimately, while evil has contributed evil to this world, I caution you not to paint all of religion as evil based on what some have done with it.
Has atheism contributed any evil to this world? Please cite examples, and be fair.
Not that I know of, but I assume you’re gonna refer to the Communist regime of Stalin. As far as I know, the actions of Stalin were not committed in the name of atheism, he did it because he wanted power. Stripping people’s religion from them was an effective demoralization tactic, so that’s what he did. And it’s not like communist Russia was a godless society, their god was the state. Bear in mind, I don’t know a whole lot about communist Russia.
Now there are points where I would bring up Communist regimes like the USSR, but I wasn’t planning on doing so yet. Since you brought it up, however, let’s go ahead and address it.
First, it’s always easiest to state that the Soviet Union exercised a religion wherein the state was the object of worship. Really that would be more accurate of Fascism/Nazism, whereas there was more of a personality cult surrounding Lenin and Stalin, and there was an ideology that demanded exclusive devotion. One could not be a member of any political party except the Communist Party, and anything else was seen as disloyal. But such excuses do not pardon the fact that this was a nation that actively fought against belief in God or other organized “traditional” religion. There were no rites, holy books, or prayers. What existed was propaganda, suppression of dissension, and cover-ups of the crimes of the leaders and the Union as a whole. But the nation was, for all intents and purposes, actively atheist.
Which leads to my second point: any ideology can be used for evil. How many atheists have called for the destruction of religion. Look at the likes of Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins, and others. They cling not only to an ideology, but in fact are so firm in their conviction, so aggressive in their stance, so negative in their rhetoric, so once-sided in their arguments that…one could almost consider them a religion! Sure, they are not as severe as the USSR, but really the same ideological purity exists on a lighter level there. But how tolerant are they of other viewpoints? Do you think they put up with atheist fortune tellers? Atheist Jains, Buddhists, or Confucianists?
I disagree, I’ve never seen an atheist lobbying about the evils of Buddhism. They focus on Islam and Christianity. Islam because it inspires terrorism, and contributes to the oppression of women and gays. Christianity because of the few Christian politicians who try to incorporate their religion into politics. Tennessee tried to get the Bible to be the official state book, but luckily the governor vetoed it. That’s the kind of thing that atheists fight against.
And that’s fine. It’s their right to fight it, and there’s nothing wrong with it. But there are so many who actively oppose religion altogether. I named some names. Remember:
Religion championed the notion enshrined in the American Declaration of Independence that " all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
Abe Lincoln promised God that if He would change the tide of the Civil War, Lincoln would end slavery.
William Wilberforce was converted to Christianity, and then committed his life to ending slavery in the British Empire.
Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. fought for equality among the races.
Much like I don’t think a religious person’s crimes should be blamed on their religion, I don’t think good deeds should be attributed to religion. None of these are people doing things because of their religion, at least it doesn’t appear that way with what you presented.
54% of Christians are supportive of homosexuality in society, as are 74% among other faiths. Interestingly, 17% of non-religious folks are not supportive. Now obviously there is a discrepancy in your favor, but consider that religious folks are not wholly against it, while atheists are not wholly for it.
Most Americans preach tolerance and love. Most Americans are religious.
Most progressive ideals throughout our nation’s history were promoted by religious believers.
As were most pro-slavery and anti-gay ideals. That’s how being the majority works.
Religious people are more generous in their donations.
You had me running around looking at studies for a while with this one. People make it so hard to find the actual source study, but it’s so easy to find articles talking about the study. From what I could gather, 73% of American giving goes to congregations and religiously identified organizations. They’re donating to their own churches and to religious organizations, which I don’t think is the same as donating to a cancer research fund or whatever.
Religious people are happier.
Good for them, I guess.
Actively involved religious people are less likely to be involved in drugs or crime.
After running around for almost an hour trying to find information about donations, I’m just gonna ask you for a citation.
But to return to my original reason for asking these questions, let’s recap:
Yes, there is evil committed because of religion.
However, as atheism is not an ideology (supposedly), there cannot be any evil because of it.
But then it begs the questions:
What good has religion contributed to the world?
Though I think it’s misguided, it gives people emotional comfort.
It’s done far more than that. See above.
And if atheism is not an ideology and cannot contribute evil, then how can atheism contribute any good?
It can’t, and it doesn’t have to.
Then why advocate for it?
Because I think it’s a far more accurate picture of the world around us than religion proposes.
Why condemn religion?
Because I think it’s an incorrect and unsubstantiated world view, and religion often inspires bigotry.
Mormons most certainly elevate him, and I would know after 15 years from birth in the church. Active family with father who served as bishop and stake president. All my siblings have gone on missions. Religion breaks apart families. My parents will die thinking they failed me. They’ll die believing that them and my sisters will live on forever but that I’ll be in hell. It’s a sick and despressing reality.
I’m older than you so actually I’m right.
