I just finished up making a video where this came up, and therein, I said I wasn’t going to go into it because it was going too far afield. Therefore, I figured before that came out, sometime at the tail end of January, I figure, I’d post my thoughts here on the blog for all to see.
Let’s get to it. Continue reading My Thoughts on Gay and Transgender Issues
I do my level best not to pay any attention to politics these days. It’s all crap, no matter what side you’re on and I’ve got better things to do than bother with it. All political advertising goes straight into the trash without being looked at. I’ve started to tell people who call that I’m actively voting against anyone whose followers bother me. Most of the time, they just hang up.
That said though, sometimes it’s hard to avoid the terrible crap and that comes almost entirely from the left. I just wanted to look at two or three of them. Continue reading Absurd Political Ads
I honestly don’t get the religious. I’ve been doing a couple of videos of late that are just… painful to get through because the theist is just so obnoxiously dumb and they’re seemingly proud of it.
That reminded me of one of our own resident religious wing nuts, Jeremy Crofutt, who has posted a bunch of really asinine things of late and doesn’t seem to understand what the hell he’s doing wrong.
So let’s explain it, even though I doubt he’s capable of understanding. Continue reading Why Are They So Dumb?
I just keep running into these things and it’s bizarre how people can’t see that their own side is doing all of this too. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about the left, whining about the right or vice versa, both extremes are doing the same damn thing and can’t see what they’re doing in the mirror.
I’ll keep this one short, it’s just another example, but let’s talk about it. Continue reading More Blindness in Media

This is incredible common, but here’s yet another example from The Atheist Experience where the hosts just don’t understand what the hell they’re doing wrong. It isn’t just Matt that used to pull this stuff, it’s a lot of them because I think there are people of a particular political persuasion who just can’t figure it out.
So let’s explore it. Continue reading They Can’t See What They’re Doing Wrong
So let’s talk about it.
BTW: He’s released a video explaining why it happened. You can see it here. Continue reading Adios Matt
I’ve seen a couple of videos and talked to a couple of people recently which pushed being calm and collected over getting mad at idiot theists.
Sure, that works in a certain subset of cases, but it certainly doesn’t work for all of them. So here’s my thinking on the whole thing. Continue reading Why Being Pissed Off Works… (sometimes)
There was another video from The Atheist Experience where, at least it sounds to me, that the left is entirely blinded to the things that they do, while being hyper-focused on what the right is doing.
That’s nothing new. I’ve pointed that out before, but the examples are blindingly easy to come up with. So let’s take a look.
I was thinking about this lately and it seems to me, especially when it comes to religion, but that’s not the only place it occurs, that far too many people completely misunderstand how logical syllogisms work. They seem to think that if you can put a three-line argument together, you’ve automatically won the debate.
Sorry, that’s not how it works at all. Therefore, I’m going to give a high-level overview of syllogisms and why so many people are using them completely wrong. Hope it helps. Continue reading Why Do People Misunderstand Philosophy?
I wound up in a discussion with a leftist today on racism. Well, it drifted a little to take in all of the classic “isms” that the left hates. I decided it was about time to blow his mind, especially since things weren’t going anywhere useful.
So I said I don’t care if people are racist. He didn’t react well. Continue reading I Don’t Care If You’re Racist!
