Why?

How is that going to change that the under-five mortality rate is India is 1 in 20. And thus if it is 1 in 20 for girls then it must also be 1 in 20 for boys and thus there is no gender component or bias in under-five mortality which is clearly what the post was trying to imply. And no I don't count abortions as murders or put them in mortality rates - but I'm a godless moron headed for hell anyway :)

That it sucks to be a girl in most of the world (by population) is irrelevant to the original claim. Which as far as I can tell was "girl children die at exactly the same rate as boy children in India" - since that's what the cited statistic says.

If girl's do in fact die under age 5 more than boys, then surely there's a better statistic to cite rather than expecting to people to buy and watch a movie.

I also love the "hance of being killed in Syrian Civil War" comparison when numbers for under five mortality in Syria are easily available where the poster for the Indian number from for an actual useful comparison - and yes I realize you are probably not the anonymous coward who was trying to lie about the numbers they knew didn't support their implication.

You still have not identified what a soul is. You are saying that souls are distressed people and that they are to be "saved". Nowhere have I seen that a soul == a distressed person.

What about all the other godless people who are not distressed? Are they not souls? Are they not required to be "saved" (whatever that means).

Honestly, your defiition of what constitutes a soul seems to be "only sad people", which seems very arbitrary and strange.

no
soul==person
needs saving==in distress
soul who needs saving==person in distress
(caveat the preceding represents nobody's opinion other than mine)

Is there any part of "Godless Killing Machine" that isn't more true when you make the bear a zombie?

what we're trying to accomplish as a society

Careful now, that sounds suspiciously like the godless language of socialist communism!

Well, that's democracy in its current form for you. In 2010 the GOP got to re-draw congressional districts, and they gerrymandered them in such a way that anyone other than a staunch right-wing Republican will never ever get elected. You could run Jesus against the GOP candidate and it would be close.

The thing about this statement, IS Obama is a "staunch right-wing Republican" to many people.

He gave the NSA a free pass for their crimes committed under Bush II...
have torture investigations resulted in charges brought against anyone?

we must "move forward for the good of the country" ...just like after Nixon...

his immigration policies, are just like Reagan.

And to many people, the "staunch right-wing Republicans" are all godless communists.
(the dept. of edu. planning the economy, NSA spying...we have no individual souls).

Try again, dipshit.

Explain to us the difference between the GOP and the DNC then. The labels mean nothing.

The CIA runs things abroad either way. The foreign policy of either party is not relevant.

If Obama makes peace with Cuba, then you can rest assured the CIA has approved that action, for whatever
reason.

You can bash BVis all you want...but there is little difference between the GOP and the DNC anyways, it is a moot issue whether
BVis was playing favorites or not.

The GOP and the DNC have very little say in things. They are subservient to the CIA and the NSA and the FBI.

The thing is, the CIA readily admits to much more than gerrymandering abroad...what evidence do you
have they do not do such things at home?

What makes you think either party has much ultimate say, even if they successfully fix an election?

So what you're saying is for all that extra work, you got average results.

If by average you mean good results, I guess that would be a yes. I mean seriously, in what world of stupidity and cynicism did getting kids through post-graduate education became "average results"?

I'm not a fan of home-schooling in general because, at least in this country, it is generally perceived by the public as a means for Luddites to keep their kids off the sinful, Godless grid.

But here, this is obviously not the case. And for you to simply dismiss the results of their efforts as "average results" (when in this country "average results" means graduating from HS without knowing the difference between "your" and "you're"), that is just imbecile.

Whether you are just being cynically stupid or just deliberately obtuse, only you know.

The summary sounds like a anti-government troll-post, cooked up by an anti-vaxer against that "Godless public health research".

This will change nothing. If you want to convince people that individual lives matter...collectivism is not the way to go about it.

You embrace godless communism nearly the entire world over (economy & education)...what did you expect would happen?

Yes, it certainly works better if you let God-fearing Roman Catholic priests do the work.

You mean Y*hw*h is going to smite us with this asteroid like he smited the godless dinosaurs?
Time to break out the Nikes and the poisoned applesauce and leave these physical shells to beam up to the mothership!

Given that its most likely that "Anonymous" at this point is mostly government agents now, its going to be real intresting to see who they finger as pedophiles, and if any of these people are actually guilty.

Yup. This sounds more like a government operation.

Except their plan is basically grab everyones private information and make it public and hope that they only find the pedos.

No, their plan is grab everyone's private information and make it public and accuse people they don't like (political reasons, whatever the case may be) of being pedophiles.

Just an excuse for identity theft and robbery, nothing more. The usual "cracker" ethics -- two wrongs make a right.

This sounds more and more like a government agency. Their tactics "think of the children" stopped working, so now they
have to take it underground and con a gullible public into thinking this is "grass roots."

Anyone else find it strange that "light is the best disinfectant" and yet..."anonymous" will not reveal themselves?

Giant double standard...it sounds more like a government going on a witch hunt than anything else.

Disclaimer: I have been abused, but have not and will not abuse others. I have read this is a common thing for abusers to be victims themselves, but how could you put someone through it after it has happened to you?

Also, probably 9/10 of adults I know were molested (by a family member or close friend, is most common), molested someone else, or have similar stories.

I don't see how this will change much. These go unreported. The common theme is "get over it" and there are statutes of limitations.

For myself...what does it matter if I tracked down my abusers? I have moved on. Sure, they might go after someone else.
It is not worth my time and money and energy to track them down. There is no reason to "cover up" anything, but "God"
is unlikely to care now anymore than when I was a kid. It won't change anything to execute the person responsible.

They'd be better off convincing people "just because he/she is 16/14/etc. and you get them drunk, does not make it ok"

It really is a cultural thing, goes far beyond sexual abuse...large groups of people always have and always will do stupid
things because they can.

This will change nothing. If you want to convince people that individual lives matter...collectivism is not the way to go about it.

You embrace godless communism nearly the entire world over (economy & education)...what did you expect would happen?

This is just another symptom of the disease. To governments the world over, individual lives mean NOTHING. They sure as #$#@$ don't care you were abused.

the Dept. of Homeland Security has a pretty high standard

Nope, not really. Unless by "higher standard" you mean "fuck the u.s. that shit is obsolete"

You want to laugh your ass off even further?

Besides the fact AACRAO.org is plastered with "international education" all over the place, besides the fact they do not represent American interests at all?

Just look at what "the future" will bring us:

http://www.americandeception.com/index.php?action=downloadpdf&photo=PDFsml_AD2/Report_On_The_Commission_On_Social_Studies-Krey-Counts-Kimmel-Kelley-1934-179pgs-EDU.sml.pdf

5. The cultural potentialities of the epoch would seem to be commensurate with the economic.
On the physical foundations of economic security, unprecedented leisure, relative material
abundance, and rapid communication with all parts of the world, the extension to the masses
of the people of greatly increased opportunities for the cultivation and enjoyment of the things
of the mind and the spirit should be possible .

It turns out, when you rig education and the U.S. economy towards "internationalism" and "world peace" noone gets more leisure time, noone gets more economic security, ...instead the global organizations leeching off of every nation get richer, everyone else starves and dies (if they do not get an internationally-recognized "degree") because "noone owes you a living."

Instead, what happens is the Dept. of Labour and Dept. of Edu. project what careers are "in demand" for global private interests, and we get crap like:

http://truth-out.org/news/item/6021-forprofit-kaplan-university-pays-executives-a-quarter-billion-dollars-courtesy-of-students-and-taxpayers

all the "leisure time" flows upwards, and never actually trickles back down.

Instead, wages are stagnant for DECADES and economists don't know why:

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/10/09/for-most-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/

So much for all that extra "leisure time" so much for all that extra free time we will all have now for "spiritual growth"

It turns out, pre-planned communist economies only benefit the lucky "partners" who no longer have to train their workforce, because the taxpayer does it for them.

It turns out, everyone else must go into an "in demand" career ... or enjoy a lifetime of poverty.

It turns out, EVERYONE has to subsidize and prop up the "global economy" whether they want to or not, whether they work for one of the lucky private companies leeching off of the taxpayer or not, whether they have an investment in their well doing or not...because private companies demand we do....and they have taken over American education and government and are pulling the strings now (weren't they always?)

Why do banks need bailed out, with all this extra "leisure time"? Why do automakers? What about those "high standards?"

I guess by high standards you mean the Dept. of Homeland Security is on the godless pre-planned communist treason train with the rest of the U.S., and the U.S. and Americans can all rot in hell and starve to death, Americans are "obsolete" now ... why, even Dick Nixon would be
proud, he also served "higher standards" beyond U.S. jurisdiction!

The only "high standards" the DoHS has is the same as the Dept. of Edu. and Carnegie Foundation standards: "fuck the U.S. in the ass with their own tax money" to make global for-profit companies happier.

This goes back to pre-WWI at least...guess who was chairman of the Carnegie Foundation For International Peace ? Why , a certain Mr.
Thomas Watson !

http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com

Guess who promoted "world peace through world trade" ?

WTF is Mr. Watson pretending to champion "world peace" at the same time helping Hitler?

Does "world trade" include "gas anyone who disagrees or is the wrong genetic background?"

The "high standard" of the DoHS is "we like money (and oil)" and that's about it.

"They are provocateurs."

Just like 90+% of slashdot readers.

3. Those limits imposed by society. i.e. I'm not allowed to make wiener jokes around my wife's friends. But this isn't a legal limitation, it's a "I don't want to get hit with pots and pans" limitation.

Is that really so different from "I don't want to get get shot at or firebombed by fans of the prophet." Using violence or threats of violence to curb unwanted speech is an age-old phenomenon. I am surprised that people are just now getting rankled about it.

I'm a little befuddled by your conflation of European free speech curbing and the run-up to WWII. Keep in mind that most of the press during WWII was very right-wing and pro-fascist. And not just in Germany. There were several US and British newspapers that saw nothing wrong with Brownshirts destroying the godless communists and social democrats. In fact, it was common for the pro-fascists to hide behind free speech laws when "marching." They would claim it was just a legal protest against social democrats (and Jews). But that's a little off-topic and lot Godwin.

It is really strange that all the Jesus people in the US have no moral problem

What is stranger is all the "Jesus people" endorse Pavlovian conditioning via the U.S. Dept. of Education ...
treating us like dogs, which goes against "God" since it denies us individual souls...we are just slabs of meat to
be molded towards the image of "global citizen"

I should add, Mr. Reagan thought it was "good" that Vietnam POWs were tortured...you see, the ones who
survived, all "believed in God" afterwards, which is what let them make it through the torture. (see "the invisible bridge")

For all the backwards hillbilly "Jesus freaks" in the U.S. ...... they are not running things at all.

Every politician in the U.S. who claims to be for "Jesus" is a hypocrite, or the U.S. Dept. of Education would have been
shutdown by now for crimes against humanity.

Most "jesus freaks" in the U.S. (those in positions of power anyways) merely care about money...they will do things that go
against "God" as long as it is more profitable.

"Jesus freaks" have no moral problem brainwashing us all, with their own taxpayer money.

I should also add, "religions should not be tax exempt, because then the government inevitably controls them"

http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com

You really do not have to worry too much about "jesus people" in the U.S. because they are:

1) 99% communist posers
2) under government control at this point anyhow

Most of them, it is just about greed + control...they merely wish to be calling the shots...care not if we have individual
souls or not...they actually willingly and wholeheartedly fund agendas that go against "God" ...

Contrary to the loudest idiots of the U.S. all the "jesus people" in the U.S. already lost, big time, they are just too stupid
to even see it.

If the "jesus people" in the U.S. had any power they would be rioting circa 30 years ago (we will give them 70 years
to realize they are being conned, they are a little slow after all)...they too, have been brainwashed.

Do the "jesus people" in the U.S. have a "moral problem" with brainwashing?

Nope, just $$$ and $$$ and more $$$.

You have to understand, the "jesus people" in the U.S. are all brainwashed idiots. They make lots of noise, do very
stupid things...but they all sellout every single time.

"you're either with us or against us" -- Bush II

not only did he do "No Child Left Behind" and tighten the Dept. of Ed. chains in the U.S. towards their godless global communist
agenda of Pavlovian conditioning and a pre-planned economy.....that is actually a bible quote:

http://biblehub.com/luke/9-50.htm

But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.”

The "jesus people" in the U.S. are all brainwashed idiots and devil worshippers.

I can't imagine this is much of a surprise to you foreigners?

They are just acting. $, $$, and more $$$.

it's godless *and* illogical! Win win!

marketing people around the world are all godless communist lefty psychopaths, only in it for the money...again, is that so hard to believe?

nothing "crazy" about that at all, plain as day....we are just slabs of meat to be "molded" ...

lawyers who believe copyright law should be the same all around the world, are all godless communist lefty psychopaths, only in it for the money...again, is that really that big of a stretch?

parent poster is 100% correct.

the "right" == perfectly ok with business buying the government + writing the laws + leeching off of taxpayer money

== you end up with communism just the same as if the "lefties" did it.....

it just happens to be a corporate flavor (is there any other kind in practice?) and the land/wealth/property is redistributed for the "corporate good" and anyone not on board (not getting taxpayer money / exemptions) inevitably goes out of business / loses all their property anyway.....

whether the "welfare" goes to "corporations" or "private individuals" or "private individuals running corporations" it is the exact same thing, the exact some broken logic, the exact same tactics, the exact same outcome, the exact same insanity. those who play along/comply are rewarded...everyone else suffers/goes under.

the "right" loves government-planned economies as much as the "left" if not more so.

they are certainly more "successful" in the U.S. with outlawing private property, and merging the public + private sectors together.

where are you from where the "righties" are not all godless corporate communists? I am dying to know!

The left are the greediest people on the planet ('all your stuff belong to ME!'), which is why they hate everyone who has more stuff than they do.

dear 0123456:

The problem with that statement -- at least in the U.S. -- is that many on the "right" are actually communist socialist fascist hippie peacenik "liberal" leftists in disguise:

http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com -- Reagan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Child_Left_Behind_Act -- Bush II

The reality is, many on the "right" are perfectly fine with corporate communism and taxpayer money routed into the hands of private businesses indefinitely.

Many on the "right" are perfectly fine with forcing a pre-planned global godless communist economy onto the world, in the name of "world peace."

Many on the "right" just care about money, does not matter where it comes from.

I do not know where you live, but in the U.S. you can whine about "Obamacare" and "47% of takers" and "free cell phones" and "food stamps" all you want......it turns out the "right" "god-fearing" "conservative" "Republicans" (in name only) already hijacked the entire U.S. economy + education towards a pre-planned godless communist path of corporate communism.........

If you live in the U.S. "right" and "left" is mostly nothing but a sign of someone who is blind -- now if you say Reagan and Bush II were "far left" that is fine. But calling them "right" is laughable.

Where do you live, where "the left" is greedier than "the right"?

Where do you live, where the "right" does not enjoy corporate communism and leeching off of taxpayer money indefinitely, because it is more profitable and more efficient?

I am just curious where you get your terms from......certainly not the U.S. ..... what strange land do you come from where the
"right" are not all godless communist frauds?

In the U.S. the "right" means "all your stuff are belong to global corporations" and there is no distinction between public + private entities, since the private sector merges with the government and orders the public sector / public schools / public taxpayer money what to do.

It's clearly insane, but it apparently makes perfect sense in Lefty Logic.

Yup, turns out "Lefty Logic" in the U.S. is the exact same thing as "Righty Logic" ........ it is the exact same game plan:

private interests/businesses won't be able to sell stuff to the rest of us or hire anyone without a handout, so we give money to the goverment which gives it to private interests (in the form of handouts or tax exemptions), and then they can hire people and make stuff for us to buy.

Clearly insane, but the "right" in the U.S. has the exact same logic. Not sure where "free market" comes into play in the "righty logic" here. Not sure where "compete on wages" and "workers can choose who they work for" comes into play. But you see, the "Righty logic" in the U.S. is the exact same as "lefty logic" you speak of -- we all must serve a Higher Power (global corporations) and God is "obsolete" and the free market "does not work."

Really curious where you are from, where the "Right" are not the exact same as "lefty logic."

How about calling out communism in whatever forms it takes, whoever it is coming from (the "right" or the "left"), wherever it is going to (private individuals, private corporations) ?

It turns out the "right" thinks all the property should belong to corporations, who should run the government to speed up the process of wealth transfer....so you get "greedy fascists" either way, "left" or "right".....they both think taxpayer money should only go to support their pet causes, and screw everyone else, they have to pay for it anyway (or miss out on exemptions, same thing).

Give the people a Universal Basic Income, and you'd have to offer something better than a mere three squares a day and a basic but acceptable accomodation. Then you'd actually see the market come into play - people making a choice about who they work for, and how much.

Yep, this is actually pro "free market" (assuming there are no/minimal strings attached)...you can spend it however you want, even those who do not "need" it can qualify and spend it however they want.

The U.S. has chosen the opposite path, call it corporate communism or corporate socialism or corporate fascism:

-- a million tax exemptions + credits
-- an education system where only those who comply with government wishes get taxpayer funding/accredited
-- endless amounts of taxpayer money routed into private hands indefinitely
-- rewards/punishments (withholding reward) if you comply or not; federal aid IF you go to a pre-approved school IF you study a pre-approved topic so you can get a job in a pre-approved area

They complain not enough people "finish" university with a degree (or one in an "approved area" for a good "job") -- the "solution' is throw more taxpayer money at those who meet arbitrary standards of "efficiency" and do the bidding of private companies.

Seems to me as long as a student pays tuition, they should be able to take whatever classes they like (meeting prerequisites of course), in as many areas as they like, for as long as they like...but they don't actually want a free market, you see.

Taxpayer money getting involved either as a reward/incentive or withholding the reward from those "not up to standard" is anti-free market of course...but they don't care.

The only explanation, is businesses in the U.S. HATE and DESPISE the "free market."

Ironically, the "pro free market" and wealthy corporations in the U.S. should be the ones most fiercely demanding a basic income...but not a peep...corporate communism is more profitable, more efficient, more predictable, more stable, and benefits the wealthy much more than a free market would.

The U.S. is a strange, magical land of bullshit, where:

-- taxpayer money serving private interests + disappearing into private hands == "a business-friendly environment"
        (despite it being anti-free market and anti-people)

-- food stamps, free cell phones, the "47% of takers" are all godless communists and socialists; when a business does the exact same thing, they call it "pro-business"

Which is fine by the corporations, because they worked so hard to transfer the burden of taxes away from themselves. Yup, it's really ironic - everyone in America is working for Wal-Mart, they just don't know it.

Yup, and when the gov. (public entity, propped up w/ public taxpayer money) merges w/ private entities (Wal-Mart) and entirely serves their bidding...you don't get a free market, you don't get capitalism...you get corporate communism/socialism/fascism whatever you want to call it.

But the U.S. is one giant land of bullshit, so that never gets stated in public.
