twelve days...

One way to shut up screaming kids.

These protest signs are cute.

Another reason to support eugenics. (I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't think people who can't take care of their children should be allowed to breed. It would be one thing if there were networks and such in place that someone, be it a family member or a fulltime government nanny, could care for a child, but there aren't.)

(By the way, while I'm in pseudo-rant mode, all those jokes about Freedom Toast and Freedom tickler condoms weren't funny the first time I heard them, and they're still not funny.)

Also I hate the new Hotmail sign-in page, because it doesn't work with auto-complete in IE. WTF? Are we not Microsoft the big conglomeration where everything works together? I guess not. Asshats.

why I am an atheist

ha, brilliant:

I've noticed that in general, there really isn't much difference between being an atheist and being an agnostic besides politeness.

Most atheists are sensible enough to know that there really isn't a way to prove or disprove the existence of god(s). Of course, this kind of view is never actually practiced in the real world, as you would be completely incapacitated.

Say your friend calls you on the phone and asks "I'm going to come pick you up, where are you?"

Do you respond : "I am not really sure. It appears that I am home, but I could really be anywhere. While I have no specific memory of leaving my house, it's very possible that Evie Garland, star character from the 1987 TV Series 'Out of this World' played by Maureen Flannagan , has frozen time and displaced me into a completely different world that is for all intents and purposes the same as the old world, yet different because I have indeed been moved. So I don't know if I'm home or not, in fact, I'm not exactly sure that you're you, and that's kind of scary. I'm going to hang up now, that is, if this is actually a phone that I am holding. I'm not sure."

NO!

You say "I'M FUCKING GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING HOME DAMN YOU"

my philosophy

Most people are irretrievably moronic.

Even if you think you're funny, you probably aren't.

Breeding licenses are a good idea.

There is no god, and I'm taking your orange soda.

Violence is sometimes the answer.

This life is all there is. Make the most of it, and do not deprive anyone else of theirs unless yours is in danger.

Even though "it is written," that doesn't make it absolute. Dogma of any kind is bad.

Don't be closeminded. Try everything once, then make an informed judgement about how it sucks.

best response ever for dealing with solipsists

So if you ever happen upon a snot-nosed brat who insists that only what he perceives as real to be reality... ask him if you can duct-tape him to a chair and work him over with a baseball bat.

(thx to ernunnos)

also: don't forget the whole bunch of reasons god exists...
