Who What Now posted:Well the kid on the right's smile is dampened by the knowledge that there are awful, hateful people like Assay in the world that want to imprison his parents and separate him and his baby sister by putting them in a broken foster care system. He's putting on a brave face, because that's what Daddy and "Daddy" say will happen if he tells anyone about the "beautiful games" that happen in his bedroom every night. (Opinions (C) 1927 Charles Asay) I think you're all forgetting that most people start from a position of hate and ignorance. We say "What's the difference?" because that's what we see in it, not because Asay put it there by accident.

Dr. Killjoy posted:Mac's misogyny is so, dry? Is this what misogyny looks like in England? It's a reference to her shrieks during Wimbledon? It's not a great joke but it's hardly peak misogyny from Mac. Also I really don't think the fractionally smaller smile in that Asay means anything specific. The younger child looks to have a bigger smile to me anyway.

According to Paul, marriage is for dirty sluts who just can't hold their lusts in. Why can't Adam just show some self-control and remain single and celibate?

They are not going to gently caress. Also, if we had a Artist You Most Want to Get Into a Fistfight With, it would be a toss up between Ford and Branco.

"Look at this fuckin idiot, who thinks God is some kind of perfect, omnibenevolent father figure. Where did he get that retard notion?" "Incidentally, the only thing that keeps me from committing crimes and exploiting my fellow humans is being told that I will be punished for eternity. I have no personal moral compass."

What bothers me about that Ford comic is that there are often far more pressing roadblocks to getting hookers and blow than religious morality. Like money.

Rorus Raz posted:Good news! Adam Ford is interesting and horrible. What Adam and his ilk don't get is that homosexuality has no rational basis for being a sin. God wouldn't name people sinners for no reason, so that points to Paul being wrong when he wrote about homosexuality as a 1st century man understood it. But that means that *gasp* the Bible isn't a literal document and should be read critically, which is anathema to people like Adam who just want an Authority that is Always Right. That's why they parrot "the Bible says it's sinful", because any ounce of reason means giving up the surety of their world view.

Bors posted some stuff about the whole dick thing Matt Bors posted:A few months ago, I made a couple of drawings of little penises with Donald Trump hair and mailed them to friends. You know, for fun. Today, “Donald Trump defends size of his penis” is a real CNN headline on planet earth. Cruella de Vil looks p mad in panel 3

If a genie gave me one wish, it would be to make it that every time someone added '-gate' to some event/controversy/whatever, they got a paper cut...between their fingers.

Xander77 posted:This is a notion that's foreign to a lot of people. Not just religious people, either - the idea that if society wasn't around to tell you what to do you'd still have a notion of moral conduct - more than that, that you have a notion of moral conduct that is separate and distinct from that of the society you live in - looks like an obvious impossibility to any number of people who haven't given the subject much thought. And to some people who have given the subject a lot of thought, for that matter. Freud isn't exactly the current standard in psychology, but the idea of a superego entirely informed by rules dictated by parents and society isn't something that was dismissed immediately by anyone who thought about it. The idea of morality being entirely environmental is a tempting one for people who like model the human mind as uniform and deterministic.

Improbable Lobster posted:It was originally the Liberal - Conservative party, the just the Conservative party and then in 1942 the leader of the Manitoban Prohressive party joined them on the condition that they add Progressive to their name. Specifically, it started out as a coalition party, because we can do that in Canada as we have more than two of them. They've dropped the 'progressive' part of their name or changed it entirely a few times but they keep going back. And they are indeed less right-wing than some parties that have existed, like the Reform Party and the Canadian Alliance (though that might not be a great example given the CA eventually merged with the Conservatives). Though the party is still the PCs, I almost never hear them called anything but just Conservatives, though.

That debate was presented to me in high school as the Freud school of thought (humans are essentially bestial and society keeps them in line) versus the Rousseau school of thought (humans are essentially good and society corrupts them) Both of them seem overly simplistic to me now ofc
