Slashdot Mirror

Hey! I'm a black, gay, poor mexican godless communist, you insensitive clod! Don't force politics on me.

Big brother decides who will do what even if it's not against one of his laws. Anyone at anytime can be pounded on for anything.

True. Big Brother didn't do a thing here, though, except investigate and then return his equipment. While the government is usually quite dickish, according to the article they only did what was somewhat "fair". The major inconvenience for the guy was having his equipment confiscated, but it seems it was returned in a couple of months.

Having said that, let me veer off for a second. Slashdot has quite a few pro and anti Apple people, and that's fine. I'm not one for Apple products, but I don't automatically assume you're demented if you buy an Apple machine. This guy being an exception. Regardless of whether he was right or not, he thought he was. And tried to cordially contact Apple, saying he'd take the project it off the internet if they wanted him to. Their response was to ignore him, then go over his head directly to his host. And send him what seems to be an automated e-mail asking him to take the site offline after they did it themselves. And, of course, they unleashed the FBI on him to take his computers away. Cold, brutal, uncaring and impersonal the whole way. And what does the guy do? Orders a new Macbook from them. Really, either he's the world's most forgiving person or it's a case akin to stockholm syndrome.

Me, I think it's Apple's right to push like that. But - and he even mentions it, being fully aware of the fact - it's incredibly hypocritical of them seeing as they did something similar themselves, and unnecessarily forceful. If they did anything like that to me, they'd never see my money again. Wouldn't hurt their bottom line on bit, but I'd feel like a black, gay, poor mexican godless communist donating money to the GOP.

It's ok, godless liberals are still trying to push the idea that abstinence is not an option, pushing them to have sex. So it's equal in stupidity on both sides.

I'd say from the available evidence that Obama is most likely a communist/socialist with Muslim roots in much the way that most American socialists have Christian roots. But communism is a religion (albiet a godless one) so you can't really be one AND a theist. Not a terrorist but sympathetic to their goals and like most of the professional left seem enamored with violent anti-liberal thugs to the point of making excuses for their violent means of achieving their ends. Because in their secret hearts they lack only the public support to use violent means themselves.

He wasn't born in Kenya but unless the reason for hiding the birth cert is to hide a dark family secret, he is not a Natural Born Citizen in the sense of the requirement to be POTUS. Being born in HI makes him an American Citizen but it requires both parents to be a citizen at the time of birth to qualify as Natural Born and BHO Sr. was not and was never known to have even contemplated naturalization.

For a guy who just wrote about "breathless 'black helicopter' crap" two comment above, you are very hypocritical.

True. He is center-right, or a "moderate" if you prefer.

That's a European term. In the US, we call that 'godless, heathen communist'.

> Unless Obama really is Satan incarnate (or a socialist Kenyan Muslim terrorist,

The natural born requirement was designed to prevent people with divided loyalty from being entrusted with the fairly unrestrained powers of POTUS. Due to his 'imteresting' biography Mr. Obama can rightly claim Kenyan, British, Indonesian or American Citizenship and or travel papers. What part of that implies 'undivided loyalty' to you?

Oh screw you. Compairing Kansas to Packistan? I'm so tired of hearing people that see a sound bite on TV proceed to go on an atheist rage against Kansas. Guess what, there's plenty of godless heathens in Kansas that would take your life and not feel a bit of remorse over it.

The godless communists, (as is often the case with these cold-war-era things) had an even larger, also not terribly well conceived; but much less euphemistically named project: "Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy".

Is that like the broken window fallacy, writ extremely large?

You are thinking of "Operation Plowshare"... A not-wildly-successful-but-truly-a-classic-of-the-nuclear-optimism-period project. Essentially, team nuclear realized that mankind now had the power to dig very large holes very quickly and proceeded to see what sorts of civil engineering could be shoehorned into being based on very large holes.

I read a paper about the steady rate of insanity inflation and one about with an exponential one. But the universe will only be affected, if the inflation turns in to a t -> iic * (t^t^t^...^t repeated t times) rate of expansion, in which iic, the insanity inflationary constant is actually irrelevant. At any level, stupidity only could spread through the means of godless speculation about the origin, age, size and shape of the universe, therefore if stupidity will be taken seriously, I'm afraid it won't be able to spread after a point.

Oh, I'm so tired of the repeated debates over god and science and all that bullshit, I'm even try to be funny at the expense of the rest of human kind.

Yeah, I encountered some of thes bozos in the middle of the Great Rift Valley last year. The community they were assigned to convert was already deeply religious. They (the crew cut Americans) assumed that the 'heathens' were godless. Big mistake.
There was one thing that the British Missionaries of the 18th Century realised pretty early on. That was that you had to blend the local beliefs with christianity to get anywhere. Thus they were successful in converting the locals. I was there on a VSO assignment. It was interesting to watch as they tried and failed to convert the locals to their version of christianity. This was the 'evolution is bunkum' brand.
The missionaries forgot that just down the road some of the oldest human remains ever discovered had been found.
When their mission failed they turned their attention to those of us there helping with water conservation. They got equally short shift from us. I'm a lapsed catholic but two of the others were muslims of Pakistani origin. Still they tried. You have to applaud them for that but despite the promised that we'd all rot in hell they failed to make any converts.
When they'd gone, the whole community had a party to celebrate. It lasted three days.

Evolution doesn't fly in the face of Religion, in many cases it actually helps it out. Teaching Evolution doesn't mean that you have to teach a godless universe, it just means you pose an alternative to the story of humanity. No one is saying that a "god" couldn't of kicked the bucket and placed the event in line for the big bang to happen, maybe Evolution took over from there. No one is saying that maybe a "god" didn't create the universe and heavens and simply put the right chemicals in place to support Evolution, all it's saying is that you need to keep an open mind.

When you study Religion and throw off the theory that we evolved your surcoming to the trap that Religion builds. Religion is there to explain what might exist beyond the known universe and that's all it really does, it's not there to force belief that in seven days ( or your own reference ), we all got placed on earth and it was good to go.

When you eliminate Evolution your giving up trying to use logic and meaning, your taking the easy way out, almost like cheating on a test, you think you have all the answers so just copy them down and don't look back!

That is only because Scientology is still young. Given time, I am sure they can kill as many people as good old fashioned cults have managed to.

You do know that in the 20th century, the two godless societies of the former USSR and China killed many more people than the so called cults have throughout their entire history.

So because an individual person doesn't believe in freedom of speech (say a Neo-nazi), then we shouldn't have freedom of speech!? States rights exist to protect the MINORITY, not the MAJORITY. I am dumbfounded that people don't understand that.

The popular phrase is, I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. States rights are the same way. Forcing people to do things they don't want to do leads to violence. How many fewer abortion clinics would have been bombed if we had allowed some states to ban abortions? The people who did those would have written off the Northern States as "godless", and left it at that. But stick it in their face, and they get violent. Similarly, some states would like to have access to recreational or medicinal drugs. Sorry, the Feds gotta come bustin' in even though they have no jurisdiction under any sane reading of the Constitution. Thus we have druggies everywhere, and violence follows them.

State's rights are what is best for the largest portion of people. A monolithic federal government produces what is right for a few politicians and corporations. Remember that. What people think or WOULD (or what YOU think they MIGHT) do doesn't matter.

(Ok, I'll do my best... Poe's law hysterionics in 3.. 2....)

In My home state of Kansas, we riteously teach that GOD created the universe, and that he did so in a mere SEVEN days! Your horrible, adulturous theories involving the spontaneous breaking of the perfect symmetry of the grand and unified existence before the universe as being its source is straight up wrong!

For starters, this "mathematically perfect and timeless" so called "symmetrical" particle that you claim our universe came from sounds suspiciously like a divine manifestation of God. Normally, we would be happy that science had triumphed in proving God's will to be the undeniable truth, but this theory requires the DESTRUCTION of this perfect existence in order to create our ouniverse! Clearly, these physicists are working for SATAN spreading EVIL LIES about the death of God!

On top of that CLEAR slap in God's face, you have the GALL to try to teach the clearly unbiblical theory of so called "spontaneous symmetry breaking!" The bible is explicit on this: God hates when things he brings together are put asunder! This kind of blatant excuse that perfect unions will tear themselves apart all on their own is a clear attac behind the sacrosanct divine philosophical principles behind such holy and Godly traditions as heterosexual marriage! Endorsing this worldview that the perfect must ultimately decay into the profane, break apart, and become desolate is clearly un-Christian, and must be resisted!

It seems that just in time to ruin our victory over his evil lies about "evolution", Satan has been working overtime influencing his godless scientists to find a new method of attacking the FAITH of our brothers and sisters in christ!

I call upon all our faithful to RESIST this evil teaching! The bible is the direct gospel of God given to man, and it CLEARLY says that the earth is not millions of years old like these perverse spreaders of untruths would have our CHILDREN believe! Resist satan and his lies! Teach the GODLY truth in our schools and universities! Resist the devil, and he shall flee!

(Ok.. that's enough. I think I lost a few IQ points doing that. :P)

People shouldn't be on charity for the entire lives, do you think it is even good psychologically to have a society of people who do nothing, that are clothed, well fed, cared for and they do nothing.

Now, now, that's a godless communist talk. You ought to respect your betters!

A few million in sugar plantations, certainly not 'billions' (at least not in 1957 dollars), even if you were to include the Mafia's casinos. Almost everything that was nationalized belonged to rich Cubanos (many of whom already lived in Miami). While the initial sactions may have been because they were godless commies, by the time of Ronnie Raygun the reason had changed to a fear that if Cuba was allowed to survive and succeed they would provide a "bad" example to the Central American banana republics. Since the bloodbath of the 1980s ensured that freedom and actual self-rule would never be allowed in Central America, today the only reason seems to be inertia.

An overhaul to the US energy transportation network.

Not the energy production methods, no, just the way we transport it around.

Yeeeeeeah. I'm wondering what codename this initiative has. "Operation Ignore Those Damn Godless Commie Hippies At All Costs"? "Operation Fingers In Our Ears And Singing Loudly"? "Operation Deck Chairs On The Titanic"?

Again, "purpose of" is different than "may."

Explaining the Big Bang theory and the process by which cosmologists developed the theory may make kids question Jesus, but the curriculum is not designed specifically to do so unless the teacher says "now kids, we know the bible is full of shit because Edwin Hubble noticed galaxies moving away from each other..."

I agree with you, but the problem is that some people see far more subjectivity than we do.

You or I might see certain scientific ideas as merely our best estimates at creating models that appear to describe the way life and the universe works, and that the discussion of supernatural forces being involved are both irrelevant and a distraction. However, some on the far right see these as a liberal agenda to indoctrinate the youth with a secularized and godless view of the world.

The actual wording of the guidelines appears pretty benign, but potential for subjectivity and bias to be brought into play in the execution of those guidelines concerns me.
