on Is This Photo Sexist?

May 19th 2008 14:58
How can a photo be sexist?

Anyway, a politician's job is to be in service to the public.

I can understand, if someone knew the source to be underhanded, finding the POSTing of this as "news" sexist.
But the photo? Ha. Nah... This is the internet. You'll be hard pressed to post anything people ain't got a beef with.
And once the ball gets rolling...

Education's pretty blinkered on every front. How can we expect any more from sex-ed. of all things?

Parents.

I'm sure it irks you Winston, just as the way you phrase and frame your article irks religious people. My words were not chosen by chance, but rather were created in an intentional manner... just as yours were.

I think you should broaden your understanding of the word creation to include more than just the bible's deffiniton. We've created many breeds of animal in our short time here. And we did so while not even grasping evolution as a concept. In fact all we needed was good old fashion doggy-style to do it. But I guess even sex could be called science, since it's often a case of testable methods being employed.
Care to argue semantics yet? ... Me either.

"We don't pick and choose what we believe. Belief is not subject to the will: you must be convinced by something." Okay... but then why is everyone convinced by different 'somethings', no matter how ingenious the mind? What is it that drives theory if not will to know clearer that which is pondered? Does will not require belief that one will find answers through testing of theories? And finally, does it not require both belief AND trust in that the scientists doing the testing are honest and reliable, seeing as us (the masses) are doing a lot of pondering and no testing?

I believe that the going theory of this evolutionary process does hold weight and has effected the habits, reproduction and alteration of the inhabitants of this our planet Earth for many more years than we've been around. But I'm not talking about Evolution, and neither are you. It's the origins of the human race we argue. No one cares about how newts got here, unless it bears on how WE got here.
I assume you're sold on the premise where we come from primates. Fine by me. It's as good an explanation as any. But it's not the truth until it's proven. And if it's NOT true and we just pile all of this information behind it to prop the theory up, it's still no more than JUST a theory. And further, to someone who believes another theory, it's just another belief in a fairy tale.

on Sometimes I Wish Hillary Clinton Would Just Shut Up

April 17th 2008 20:13
Don't be surprised if McCain takes it, ladies and gents. This in-fighting between the first possible female president and the first possible black president seems pretty tactical to me. I wonder if there's some sort of greater plan for the most influential country in human history... hmm. I wonder if they'd go so far as to, say, rig an election, or manipulate the media. I wonder if they propped up these figures for a reason.

Nah! Now I'm just being a tin-foil-hat wearing nutter. Right?

Still JUST a theory.
We, as humans, argue about this because as the most mentally complex creatures on this Earth we are free to do so. Our origins are not something we can afford to rest on wild speculation, ancient texts, or even TESTABLE models based on popular ideas.

You can do with your belief as you wish. But until there is PROOF, to me the human evolutionists are no less presumptuous than the creationists. Have you seen evolution? Have you smelt, heard, tasted or even felt evolution? Or is your evolution just another man with a beard in the sky?
Meh. I'm not a scientist. Though I'm not a holy man either. I guess we just pick and choose what we care to believe, then judge others for what they've picked and chosen.

I find it incredible how people fight off old stories with new ones. I guess it's just our nature.
