My old high school history teacher(former Marine, currently serving rear end in a top hat) just commented on a post from a friend of mine, regarding the Tsarnaev kid(American citizen, mind you) allegedly being denied a lawyer despite requesting one(the veracity of which is unconfirmed as far as I know). The teacher's post literally said "he murdered an 8 year old boy, he doesn't deserve a trial." This is coming from a man who has been incredibly vocal in the past about his support of the 2nd Amendment(of which I am also a vocal supporter). I really, really hate how there are so many people out there that cherry pick what they think is right in order to support their own prejudices.

Someone probably saw the 'people who are arguing against gay marriage will be viewed the same way we view people who argued against interracial marriages' idea, had their own idea, and didn't stop to think twice before whipping that up.

You might want to censor that image, having dead corpses and blood all over the place is not exactly a nice sight, even if it's fake (I don't know, but I hope it is). EDIT: Thanks. Robert Red Rocket has a new favorite as of 20:55 on Apr 30, 2013 |

I didn't notice the word "chalk" the first time I read that and thought they had dressed people up as sheep (or vice versa) and paraded them on sidewalks. Guess they missed the idea for that genius piece of marketing

Here's a long-winded rant for those of us interested in the sciences. It's not as soul-crushingly depressing as the  one, but it's got a nice dose of "indoctrination" at the end.A few comments were clipped out (not part of the discussion). Blue posted the article.  E: ugh, I fail at formatting.

One of my high school friends who joined the Air Force after graduation just posted this gem: "I'm not homophobic or anything, but there allying this Collins guy a hero an treating him as if he just cured cancer, truth is, a hero is a cop, a firefighter, a teacher working for a bull hit salary, a military man/woman ect. Not someone who admits there sexuality, this country is so rear end backwards it sickens me, shout out to our feet less leader barrack Husain Obama who called him to say congrats, yet has never made one all to the victims of the Boston bombings or any fallen soldiers families, glad we elected him again" Feet less leader?

Trash Boat posted:I'm curious to know what sort of shitstorm must be brewing in the comments section of these. Ask and you shall receive. There wasn't very much argument in the first one as my cousin (blue) was very noncommittal and had a very defeatist "d-oh well, I guess the sanctity of marriage is ruined" attitude. The only interesting conversation to come out of it was about contraception actually.  "Contraception is to sex what bulimia is to eating"  The second post was more interesting. It marked the appearance of good old fashioned bigotry:  "I don't hate homosexuals, I just wish they didn't act so gay!" The argument did finally manage to tease out my cousin's opinions:  which are that marriage is only a stamp of approval on a relationship that says "Yup! You sure can make babies!" The conversation eventually got heated:  and he closed down the discussion immediately afterwords. Nothing was gained, nothing was lost, and everybody walked away with the exact same opinions they walked in with. Facebook arguments everybody!

I'm not sure he understands what palaeontologists mean by a "transitional form", since he talks about the fact all the fossils found are "fully developed" as if a transitional fossil would be qualitatively different. That's not how it works, a transitional fossil is only transitional RELATIVE to at least two other fossils or extant species. Like, if a photo of a child aged 3 and 9 were two species in the fossil record, the a photo of that child aged 5 would be, relative to them, considered a transitional fossil. But 5 is not inherently a transitional age, nothing is.

Some guy who doesn't understand evolution posted:Before the flood, there were about 250K species on the planet. You know what? We've got pretty much the complete set. I've been making this argument since 1997, no one has ever given a logical argument against it. Aren't most low-end estimates of total species on the planet still well over a million? Newer research seems to indicate it's closer to 10 million. Seems like his logic falls apart at the word "same." Edit: Not that I'd trust his 250,000 figure or agree to the pretense of the "flood," but you have to destroy their internal logic before you can start trying to build a new foundation for understanding.

Seems like his logic falls apart at the word "same." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraminology  basically, move the goalposts, allow "evolution" within "kinds" which they renamed baramins to seem more sciencey. So before the flood there were "wolves" and "foxes", after the flood they diversified into the various species of fox and wolf we see today but they only changed a little bit, which is allowed apparently.

Checking in with some Facebook idiots is always  "Once extremists stop intolerance in the name of religion, I'll stop blindly hating religion!" Seriously, where does he get in his head that this is a reasonable viewpoint? I mean, yeah, obviously there have been really lovely things done in the world, and of course we want lovely things to stop. Hell, I agree with wanting all of those things he listed to stop! But does he really believe that picking fights with door-to-door Jehovah's Witnesses in any way helps that cause? Number two on our hit parade:  Who is it and why did you steal their funny? Bonus prize, she likes a page called "gently caress love forever alone" and posts one-million times a day about her boyfriend, pokemon, anime, and school. She was very enthusiastic about getting straight C's this semester at Community College, which is a little  -worthy in and of itself.And finally, someone who should maybe seek help, given that all she does is post about meltdowns or passive aggressive "I hate it when people" whine-fests.

Probably 80% of the bullshit conspiracy theories that my conspiracy theory minded friends like/link to on facebook come from https://www.collective-evolution.com. The most recent one is this: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/04/29/the-extraterrestrial-presence-in-our-world-today-what-you-arent-being-told/. A bunch of words about how Nazis contacted aliens in the spiritual realm, then met up with them for advanced technology secrets (fat lotta good that did them). Apparently Nazis are to this day making flying saucers in Antarctica! Fast forward to today and a bunch of different alien groups are fighting it out over who gets control of earth and its resources and the sheeple are just letting them. The "sources" it provides are pretty great too. Don't worry though, there are some friendly aliens here to help transition you into the wider galaxy: http://alliesofhumanity.org/aoh/allies/.

Also what, did they separate the components of the salad? What's with the picture on the plates? Is the restaurant using commemorative plates they bought from museums? Does that salad have an image of Elvis underneath it? That steak looks good though.

dijon du jour posted:That is so not a mustard vinaigrette. It's green and looks like pesto! It's not from a restaurant, they cooked it themselves (hence the #chefmama in the description). Also, how do so many people take photos of food and post it on their facebook / instagram / twitter without realising that it looks like a plate of poop? Until amateur food photography became a thing I never realised how truly gross most food looks when you're not about to eat it. Sometimes I feel like taking a photo of my dinner to show off but then I look at the photo, realise it looks like crap (often literally) and delete it because I know that nobody wants / needs to see that poo poo.
