In a recent post, I said that I was going to do a series of posts on why I really dislike progressive political points. It’s not that I hate the people necessarily, just what the people believe. Hate the sin, love the sinner, although a lot of these people make it really hard to love them because they’re just assholes.
So let’s get to the first point. Continue reading I Hate Progressives Part 1
There was a recent call over on The Line from a woman named Angel in Ireland and while the call wandered around a lot, there were two points that I wanted to touch on. First, she asked if every religion in the world became “extremely progressive” overnight, would Matt and Jimmy still fight against them, and secondly, when talking about skepticism, she kept insisting that she was open-minded, as if they were the same thing.
They are not. Matt and Jimmy gave their answers, but I’m going to give mine. Continue reading That Doesn’t Make it Better!
This happens all the time, but I’m going to talk about one specific instance because this is why it’s really hard to tell the difference between true believers and poes and trolls.
I’ve been making that observation forever. Let’s get to it. Continue reading Trolls and True Believers
So over the last weekend, my wife and I were out of town and while we were coming home, we drove past the hospital where I could have died. On the other side of the freeway was a local spaghetti restaurant where my wife and my parents went after they came to see me every day and I really like the place. There are a couple of locations around here, none exactly close to where we now live, but not exactly a huge drive, so I want to go again sometime.
Anyhow, people ask about it from time to time so I figured I’d fill in some more details. Why not, right? Continue reading How I Nearly Died
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, but maybe it’s time for a serious vacation. Not just going somewhere, but taking a vacation from the online world because I am really starting to get sick of it.
So let me blather on about that for a bit. Continue reading Maybe It’s Time for a Vacation
I had no idea where to put this, so it goes here. Why the heck not? I’ve been thinking, in the last couple of weeks, that I really need a new chainsaw. I’ve got a tree to take down in the back yard and, now that I don’t have a chainsaw, I really need one.
So what happened to my old chainsaw? Let me tell you. Continue reading New Chainsaw?
So you know they’re making a new Red Sonja movie, right? It’s been in development hell for a very long time and at one point, Bryan Singer was supposed to direct, but that was a long time ago. Now, they’ve got their second female director involved, M.J. Bassett, who replaced Jill Soloway, who now wants to be non-binary, which this is Hollywood, why the hell not, but we’re seeing that this is going to be a complete disaster.
Why? Because they can’t just tell a Red Sonja story, they have to pander to a modern woke audience and those people don’t go and see movies! Continue reading This is Going to Fail Too!
I’ve said for a long time that wanting everyone to be just like you are, that’s a recipe for disaster. It just starts echo chambers where no one can ever learn anything because everyone already believes the same thing. I am not like that. I think it’s an unrealistic expectation, but recently, someone called me out on it and I wanted to respond.
So here we go. Continue reading You Have to Start Somewhere
It’s not hard to see if you just bother to look, but on YouTube especially, there are people on both sides of the social divide that assert that the other side sucks, just because the other side doesn’t agree with their own unsupported assertions. They’re right, everyone else is wrong, so there!
Sorry, but you all suck. You need to come to intellectual conclusions and most of these people just don’t care. Continue reading Both Sides Suck!
Just as a note, anything listed in red is his words and anything in black is mine. Also, I am only going to include the parts that I am responding to to keep this a little more clear. I am also not going to be using pictures in the actual text of the debate, just to keep it clean. I am going for clarity here, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to make it clearer, by all means, put that in the comments.
Anyhow, on to part 2! Continue reading deliberationunderidealcond5105 Debate Part 2
