1. Mecca should become core to measure time zones: scholars

Comment #165788 by tieInterceptor on April 22, 2008 at 10:25 am

bonzay I get this ideas after watching videos on youtube like the one I posted,

that we could use the kabaa as a dumping ground for all the nuclear waste from power stations, and the fact that they could not circle it any more would kill 2 birds with one stone... no more fulfilling one of the pillars of the religion...

then I get back into my senses, breath deep... and remind myself that they are just deluded people, do not need to get so worked up.

one indicator of their level of technology is the number of scientific books that are translated into the local language. Then he drops the bomb. In the last 1,000 years, the entire Muslim world has translated about the same number of science books as Spain does in one year. Talk about off-scale.

2. Mecca should become core to measure time zones: scholars

Comment #165192 by tieInterceptor on April 21, 2008 at 7:41 am

this is the clip I saw with a Muslim nut on TV saying that NASA saw energy coming out of mecca holding the world... and it's keeping it SECRET!
and that Neil Armstrong wanted to say that ALLah was the one who put the planet hanging there...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NPww2q6-kfE

apparently mecca is in the Zero magnetism zone, and it makes you live longer too... it's like... bullshit!

it's mind altering to think that people in some countries watch this stuff on tv and do take it seriously.

scary on a grand scale.

ps: on the response to that video, another jewel, the American Indians spoke Arabic! who knew? ...

4. Vote on freedom of expression marks the end of Universal Human Rights

Comment #153765 by tieInterceptor on April 2, 2008 at 2:47 am

this is sad, and an outrage.

We got to do something, freedom of expression is the only thing that it's stoping me from burning Embassies in return.

If the new "freedom of expression" only counts if people do not get violent... then we better start burning stuff, so they will not be able to freely express their racism misogyny and hate of individual freedom that is the cult of Islam.

wasn't going to comment, but anyway, read this yesterday, but this stuck to my mind,

Well, she's speaking out of her personal experience, and it was better for her. I mean, look, I covered conflicts in Africa, in the
Middle East, and in Central America, where Western society rained nothing but death and destruction on tens of thousands of people, which is of course what we're doing in Iraq. So, is Western society -- American society -- better for Iraqis?

11. Richard Dawkins on The Alan Colmes Show

Comment #144122 by tieInterceptor on March 15, 2008 at 6:25 am

very nice interview,

Dawkins did an excellent job, lol'ed at the BS answer ;-) I wonder if loosing patience a bit can play in his favour, to some listeners a tad of spirited answers, a la Hitchens stile, could make them more curious about checking out the TGD.

I agree with skydancephil, I think we should print and then waterproof (like a war map) a set of answers to the most common BS arguments so Dawkins and others can be quick and deadly if the need to.

statistic about education=atheism ratio, pointing out Sweden when referring that there is no need of religion for a moral society, ... in resume, we should repeat our arguments as much as they do. Every time we hear "there is no transitional fossils" "macro vs micro" etc... we should have clear, bite size answers (as much as possible) until those creationist argument loose appeal and they have to come up with something new.

ps: the old lady pulling the "extremely offensive card" with wrinkled nose like smelling a fart ( I can see her if I close my eyes)

works for the Christians on tv, and works for the Muslims to get videos out of youtube... we should just apply that technique too.

14. Moral thinking

Comment #131275 by tieInterceptor on February 22, 2008 at 6:58 am

I liked this article, very interesting and somehow fits with what I already imagined,

"Dr Wilson suspects that the liberal package of individualism and confrontation is the appropriate response to survival in a stable environment in which there is leisure for learning and reflection, and the consequences for a group's stability of such dissent are low. The conservative package of collectivism and conformity, by contrast, works in an unstable environment where joint action, and thus obedience to their group, are at a premium."

the smug feeling I got after reading the line, collectivism and conformity with no dissent was nice, I got this "I knew it!" moment.

the Economist is always a good read,

22. Sharia law in UK is 'unavoidable'

Comment #124198 by tieInterceptor on February 8, 2008 at 5:56 pm

I watched this documentary today, its quite good and informative.

This World: Inside a Shari'ah Court

Documentary by award-winning filmmaker Ruhi Hamid. Some British Muslims want Shari'ah law implemented in the UK. Already practiced informally here to resolve Islamic divorce, inheritance and family disputes, it is seen by many in the West as oppressive and brutal, with punishments like stoning and amputations. Ruhi Hamid, a British Muslim, travels to Nigeria to see Shari'ah law in action, and asks whether it could work alongside the UK's existing legal system.


http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A07C626899D1E6D4

the answer is no, it won't work... but the court cases in Nigeria under sharia look more like judge Judi on tv, than what they have going on Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.

Still, worth watching for sure.

Another good Pat Condell video,

not a bad platform for common sense and godless humour you tube,

still, sometimes it looks like they are doing something strange with the view counts... dodgy censorship I think.

27. Richard Dawkins on The Big Debate

Comment #119089 by tieInterceptor on January 31, 2008 at 10:03 am

this kinds of debates are so tiresome,

the girl said it clear at the end, the law democratically changed to allow gays and abortions, and you have a school who teaches against what society has voted.

then the rotund woman on the seat responded some kind of tiresome blah about "we have the right to our own point of view"... what the? we are talking about schools teaching children against what the law says, not your individual "as a person" right to think what you want.. seriously... schools are not equal to people, they are not corporations yet.

And congrats to Richard for pressing the Muslim to say that Sharia demands death for apostasy.

Is it me or the Muslims on this debates have a tendency to snigger, like they find all of this civilised discourse such an easy target, they know that when its the time, all of this will be over,

just like the emperor palpatine before dismantling the senate ...

Comment #117109 by tieInterceptor on January 28, 2008 at 9:24 am

excelent article, it hits the nail in the head.

Dogmatic opinions are a fowl monster, and religions are the nasty parasites that grown around popular dogmatic ideas. Like a symbiotic life form that depends on the delicious scraps that fall of the dogmatic idea jaws, and they will do everything on their power to keep that beautiful mountain of nonsense alive and healthy, their very own lives depend on it.

Comment #117011 by tieInterceptor on January 28, 2008 at 3:40 am

very nice interview, I love how the Christian fundamentalist got his face bitch slapped by Richard.

Anyone listening (that hasn't made up his mind) could see that the theist was an arrogant retard.

Well done, and in my opinion calling him naive is ok, he totally deserved it. We need to slap them back to their place, this super-reverent attitude towards uneducated buffoons has to stop, if not look where it ends.

I would like to see that theist going to the doctors and trying to argue his way out of chemotherapy, because he believes in crystal healing out of a book he reads on his spare time.

Same way of thinking, but when is cancer somehow they do appreciate the knowledge of the specialist... odd isn't it?

I would have added, on the question of morality and the bible, the answer from Hitchens. That obviously before the 10 commandments, the world already knew well enough that killing and stealing was bad. the Greeks for example.

That answer to me is more satisfying.

In my opinion those who says that Saudi Arabia is not "really" proper Islam, I would tell them that by extension then Russia and Cuba are not "really" communist since they do not follow the letter of the manifesto, but IN THE REAL WORLD, what reads on the book is meaningless, what's important is how it turns out when put into practice.

not that what reads in the Quran is not barbaric anyway.
