Sounds a bit communist to me

RUN! RUN! The government is organizing to do something for its citizens - RUN RUN!!!!!!!!! But we wont be able to exploit people/community/environment for profit if the godless-communists take control! RUN!

Get a clue - no wonder the US is the most hated country in the world - they hate their own government and abhor any initiative to work on behalf of its people.

comrades selling open-source software

Its really nice that they are trying to pull this "opensource==godless communism" crap - very subtle; very nice. Simply by saying "comrades" in America you rake up this whole 'evil-godless-communist' rabble in the mindless sheeple. Wonderfull how the author pulls this simple word-association trick... this will pre-dispose conditioned sheeple to react negatively to 'open source'. This is what happens with over-loaded words are hyped by the media to produce mass response - clear, measurable, specific response. effective.

Why cant America give up McCarthy-ism?

Sorry - slightly offtopic, my politics are aligned to the left - so I have become a little sensitive/aware of these types of manipulations.

having 1 godsday will be trouble. therefore this proposal:

- God-day: make christians happy
- Allah-day: make muslims happy
- jhwh-day (pronounced simply 'day'): make jews happy
- buddha-day: a day of reflection
- L. Ron Hubbard day: or they'll sue
- godless-day: for the atheist
- All other gods' day: seven days just isn't enough to name each and every god, or appease all religions

BTW.. Friday.. always though that was dedicated to the Goddess Freya (nature goddess I think, but I could be a long way off)

(Bible-thumping Pastor infront of his flock) "Now, I wanna tell ya bout a new devil stalking the land, its called Linux. It was invented by a godless-commie from Finland, it will lead your children to deny the truth of the One Great Operating system, and Jesus as well. It will temp your nerdy children, and they shall proclaim the greatness of linux and shall suffer from the sin of pride, pride in their computer skills, which shall set them apart from more normal school children. It shall lead them down the road, to shooting up their school. Break all those evil linux cd's, smash all their rock and roll albums, limit your child's access to the devil's internet. Send them only to Microsoft.com, only with PIII's with the serial ID fully functioning, make sure your systems are unpatched, so any god-fearing servant of god-like myself or the FBI can connect and search for smut, mp3's and linux anytime we want. Send them only to www.wwjd.com, and send your money to me, Jerry Foulwell, Ralph Reed, and Saint Gates."

A lot of people have made excellent points. However, a good number of geeks (dealing with computers here. IRC geeks, sysops, network junkies) do fall squarly into the Godless-liberal-hethan column. However, true "social" geeks (not neccesarily an outcast, most of us don't like other people anyway..can I get an Amen?) generally do have a belief in God or some other higher entity, and tend to be conservative. Most of the geeks I know view liberals as another force seeking to control private lives. Isn't that about right anyway? The conservative wing is generally more for private rights and self reliance while the liberals tend to think that everyone is too weak to fend for themselves, so they have to be regulated into protection.

As my dad would say, "Protect themselves from their own stupidity."

At the end of it, most geeks tend to agree on one thing universally: 'Most people are stupid.' But on that same point, they don't need to be protected from themselves, and still can survive.

That's what it all comes down to. Who attacked us after the shootings, declaring us misfits, urging geeks in for counseling, and started censoring excellent games like Quake? Who declared us dangerous to society? Check on some of the quotes from Clinton, Reno, Feinstien, etc, right after Liddleton and in the ensuing fiascos. The left wing is not our friend, because they go under the assumption that everyone is too stupid to wipe their own ass.

We arn't stupid. We pride ourselves on everything else. Sure, I can't pass English with an F because I'm on the football team. But who's the one that keeps the English teacher's porn routing right?


Geek Pride.

The US should just overthrow the UK, whose govt is illegitimate, then use that as a staging base for forward operations into the rest of the EU.

Between that and Poland Hungary Italy the Euocrats will be caught in a pincer movement and have nowhere to go.

Nothing left for the Godless fascists but bunkers and cyanide.

Heterosexual relations, and marriage, are necessary for population growth. Homosexual relations are not. Some people believe that a heterosexual marriage is holy, and sanctioned by the Christian God. Homosexuals could have argued that their government recognized pairing was not marriage, and merely a record in a Godless, atheist Courthouse, stamped by some fat bureaucrat. There wouldn't be a joining of assets, no children involved. It was merely a public record of two people publicly commit to be with each other.

Yes, some private party could have been thrown, marking the entry into the public record of their commitment to each other.

The left is dedicated to the lie of the godless religion of political correctness and the right is dedicated to lying. Usually, the best liar wins. That's all that's happening.

He's protecting his flock from godless tyrants.

Vote for X or you are fired.
Too blatant?

Times are tough people. I can only afford to keep people who vote for X around.
Hmm, maybe a tough judge would nail me.

Times are tough people. If X doesn't win, I'll probably have to let people go because of the terrible job killing regulations Y will approve. So l hope to see everyone at the rally for X today after work...

Jim, didn't see you at the rally... On an unrelated note, I'm going to have to let you go. Send those godless heathens in next.

Nope, Hitler always intended to invade Russia for the natural resoures of the Baltic area and the food production of the central plains, see lebensraum. The pact with Russia was to allow Germany to neuter Europe, the country he was afraid of. He was absolutely unafraid of Russia because
1) no aryan stock
2) godless now under stalin
3) they're soviets
4) they look different to WASPs.
5) god was on hitlers' side. god told him so.

How the claim from merkins demanding that their mercenary work, MASSIVLEY paid for over generations from the UK, is normally "you'd be speaking german if it weren't for us", because as we all know, even merkins, the USA only has rose tints to claim they're the best in the world, so they have to trade on long-past assistance (paid or gifted, they will presume it was gifted). Yet they aren't doing it here. It's now the Russians who would have won the war if the USA hadn't leapt in after joining 3 years too late (though be fair, the UK and most of Europe were 2 years late before that, sorry Poland and central europe), but it was never counted that way until Germany are the ones being screamed at for not being sufficiently cowed by USA's mercenary actions 70 years ago.

Because the reason why the USA joined in was twofold:

Primarily, because Germany declared war on them The USA would not have gone in otherwise, they were making big bank off Germany investments.
Secondarily to stop Russia gaining most of Europe because even then the red scare was looming for "god's own chosen country". After all if godless commies were to do better, it would mean god preferred the GODLESS to the holy peoples of merkinania.

<Satire>My fellow Americans, this is why we need to eliminate the threat of Democracy. Once only the properly-educated are allowed to choose our great nation's leaders, will we be safe from the threat of Commie election interference! Do you want spies, illegal aliens, and godless heathens casting your vote for you?! This voting test will ensure that No True American will be ineligible to vote.</Satire>

What I don't get is why the university, journals, and old fashioned peer review haven't been replaced with blogs yet.

Religion.

One one side, religious nutjobs have their own blogs, about anything from young earth creationism to why gays ought to be thrown off rooftops. They make it difficult for blogs to be taken seriously as a platform to deliver truthful objective information.

On the other side, religious authoritarians have an interest in keeping universities and education institutions around to encourage a monopoly/oligarchy on knowledge creation. Do remember some of the earliest education institutions were started/run by the church, but they didn't do this out of pure charity. No, it's easier to manipulate and indoctrinate the masses if you can centralize where they can receive knowledge.

This is why instead of advocating for dismantling the old institutions outright, many religious folks instead want to control what the schools teach ("teach the contraversy" "bring prayer back in th schools", etc), no better than those godless commies who want to force schools to teach 42 different gender pronouns

Whereas, the Constitution of the United States has supremacy over any foreign law including but not limited to Shari-ah Law of Gravitation, Law of Thermodynamics, and Laws of Motion,

Whereas, the State Constitution of Montana has supremacy over the US Federal Constitution,

Wheres, this SLOT prevents from Montanans from creating perpetual motion machines, or creating engines with more than 100% thermal efficiency,

It has been resolved that

This law has been repealed in Montana, and no machine or physical process in this state shall obey the aforementioned unconstitutional second law of thermodynamics.

First measles comes back, and now cassettes? What other maladies will these godless heathens re-release upon the world? Drum brakes? Knob and Tube wiring?

Political correctness is the godless religious offshoot of the godless religion of communism. By supporting the lie of political correctness, the left makes it about who the biggest liar is. Since the right is a bigger liar, it wins and we numbly drift into calamity.

Political correctness exists on both flanks of the political spectrum, there is such a thing as right-wing political correctness.

Why have anybody live in a city?

It's mostly a religion thing. The more people you have living in an area, the easier it is to justify building big churches, which attract more people to live there, justifying even bigger churches, and you get a positive feedback loop.

Heaven forbid religion designates certain places as sacred. That's another way religion encourages people concentrating together.

The religious of the past didn't understand how important it is to keep people together. They divided and weakened themselves, while the secularists, atheists, and godless liberal lefty commies took over the cities, becoming stronger.

Why can't it just be a manufacturing center with high speed rail access to the country?

Because manufacturing and other businesses don't necessarily find cities attractive places to be in. Unlike religion, manufacturing and businesses have no sacred cows that says they must all be located in close proximity. Businesses will organization whatever which way the market and bottom line tells them. Maybe it would be cities. Maybe it would be something else.

This bullshit again. Saying the same falsehood a thousand times doesn't make it true

Other way around, silly fellow AC. You can dismiss and deny it a thousand times, it doesn't make it false.

Again, Google "Feminists Love Islamists". If you bothered to look, you'll find plenty of people who mock feminists and SJWs just as much as they mock right wingers and religious whackjobs.

That religion is on the right while "godless commies" are on the left as bitter enemies is just propaganda from those who wish to divide the people into partisan hacks. Don't fall for it.
