  1. If anybody reading this likes what they hear, watch Blazing Saddles For real, you'll love it

  2. There are people who cannot speak or feed themselves due to autism, and here you are whining about research into the condition?

  3. The sad part is, white nationalists have done the most to destroy what they pretend to protect. They don't understand that each nation has its own unique history, and instead merge them all into one box.

  4. ***** You said yourself that you get guidance from God, that would imply that your actions are based on God's will.  There is no way around this, unless you claim you get guidance and simply ignore it. Again, your arrogance is so intrinsic, you cannot even tell when you're doing it.  Not all atheists were born that way, some of us (myself included) were once religious.  And some of us (myself included), DID seek God before losing faith.  And yet my efforts are branded 'insincere' because I got nothing to show for it.

  5. +Poelo Siel This is called the "middle ground fallacy", and it is illogical. You get a fair view on the issue by considering the different facts, not by reading one fact and several lies. For an example, take the creationist/evolution debate. The middle ground fallacy puts you somewhere inbetween, giving equal consideration to both. But in fact, one of those concepts is a lie and the other is not.

  6. +JewTube I think they like the money it brings them more

  7. This makes no sense, the "SJW snowflake safe space lovers" weren't running for election, they're not even a significant portion of the USA. You're saying everybody voted for Trump just because a few thousand liberal bloggers didn't like him?

  8. Jordan I think this is tenuous, you can't accurately judge what's going on in the subconscious by the order in which he arranged six words.  Especially since there are only a few valid combinations allowed for in English.

  9. We know what you are "just saying", and in response we are "just saying" that you are wrong, plants cannot cure tuberculosis/polio/cancer/meningitis etc etc Even back in the good old days, smallpox ravaged our species despite the fact that we were eating natural plants all the time.

  10. ***** So what, you're allowed to ask god to prove himself to you, but if anybody else wants the same, you get on your high horse and tell them not to test him? You're quoting a piece of the Bible that directly contradicts your own testimony, and you expect us to believe that you're the genuine christian?

  11. ***** You're self-centred because after thousands of years of Christianity and tens of millions of Christians, you come along and say "Yeah, those guys weren't even real Christians.  I'm the real deal, because I know God personally.  He gives me special help and guidance" And so the rest of us mere mortals are supposed to believe that the way you live your life is how God wants it to be, the implication being that if I contradict you, I also contradict God. By comparison, I cannot be said to be self-centred just because I am not religious.  If we're talking about personal relationships, Jesus hasn't said anything to me.

  12. So...leave everything to the ruling class? Fuck off with that monarchist shit.

  13. Nothing wrong with safeguarding sovereignty, culture and way of life...the problem is, I need to safeguard these things FROM white nationalists, despite BEING white. Don't make the mistake of assuming they're on your side just because they have the same ethnicity.

  14. So I just looked up "Cultural Minister of Norway" and she's a white conservative Norwegian, with no obvious African heritage. Care to explain?

  15. +TraceVandal You realise what "whataboutism" is an implicit concession right? You're admitting (by omission) that Space Babies is actually correct, by refusing to engage with his original point. Fascists kill people. That is LITERALLY what they are all about. It's not a means to an end, it IS the end. What next, should we let the murderers out of jail because we're infringing on their rights to freedom? Fuck off everybody.

  16. Gaffigan - "Hey guys let's not call trump supporters morons maybe?" >Comment section is ok Gaffigan - "Hey guys maybe our kids shouldn't be given the wrong idea from porn?" >Comment section suddenly demanding we talk about how women act instead HMMM SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE DODGING THE ISSUES HERE

  17. What, you get upset if people near you aren't following current fashion trends? You've never left your home country I guess

  18. Sure, because Alex Jones has never, ever lied for profit.

  19. But you have no knowledge of what the copypasted message is, so your judgement is utterly meaningless.  What if the copypasted message was designed to learn about whoever it is sent to?  What if getting to know somebody is what you do on the second message?

  20. ***** I'm gonna put this in a slightly nicer way: You know how some people decide that a new food tastes bad before they've ever tried it?  It doesn't make sense right?  Obviously you have to eat something before you can say you don't like how it tastes. It's the same here.  Science is like a food you haven't eaten before, so when you say you don't like it, nobody takes you seriously. What I'm trying to say here is...you need to eat some science before making a descision.  If you read about biology and THEN decide you don't believe it, cool.  But you can't decide first and then refuse to look at it.

  21. ***** Electonics cannot "steal electrons", that would leave all adjacent atoms positively charged, which we can prove is not the case. Electricity is the movement of electrons, not the loss of them.  That is the very first thing about electricity, and you didn't know it.  You don't get to lecture me on this topic. All wet food loses water when it becomes heated, this is not unhealthy.  A cooked steak is still very moist and cannot be described as "dehydrated", you are simply a liar. (Also nobody microwaves a steak, you're making that example up too) Sonar is not electronic, it is sound echoing. Your racist stereotypes do not reflect reality, it is widely known that screen usage is highest in the West, not the East.
    2
  22. ***** You are pretending that I am ignoring your other points in favour of calling your racist stereotyping out, but that is yet another lie.  I have already explained that EMF does not dehydrate, that sonar is based on sound waves as opposed to electronic, and that you know nothing about electricity. I do not care what hollywood scriptwriters have to say, I do not care what fictional aliens think. You complain I have not supplied any information of my own, but I have cited exactly as many sources as you have. (zero)

  23. Wouldn't he have to present an argument before anybody makes a counter argument? I don't know if "Anti-establishment can be used by establishment" counts.

  24. +Joseph Logsdon Isn't having an abortion taking responsibility? The irresponsible thing to do would be to do nothing about pregnancy.

  25. Wait, so where can we go to see the whole interview? Why is bigthink holding out on us? Also thanks for venturing into these wild comment sections :D

  26. +nadoeloiskat The whole "relationship" meme has to be the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to Christian apologetics. Not a single Christian I know would say that they "met" Jesus, or that they "know" him. All they know is a sample (note: not the totality) of some ancient texts that talk about what he said. (Written by other people) They don't know his favourite colour, his preferred flavour of ice-cream, or anything about his personality. (Some might say he doesn't like figs, but that's up for debate). Hell, they've never had a single conversation with him! So when one person says "Oh yeah, I deal with Christ everyday", the rest of us know that that one person is a liar. Especially the other Christians.

  27. ***** I think what you are doing is significantly more arrogant, you're taking your own desires, beliefs and actions and trying to claim divine inspiration, that your choices and thoughts are superior because God sent them to you. According to the Bible, people got to know god after he sent them angels, miracles and other divine messages.  Yet 2000 years on, we're meant to believe that people who "feel love" now and again are the 'chosen ones'.  Irrespective of whether God is real or not, I think you're fooling yourself by keeping up this self-centred charade.

  28. ***** Did he actually say it to you though?  Or did you read it in a book that wasn't written by Jesus?  Strange that you'd reject the concept of the church, yet use the text that was literally compiled by the church.
    2
  29. ***** The gospels and all associated texts are the product of religion, to be honest I don't think you can differentiate religion and the church.
    2
  30. ***** I mean I can't speak for us all, but when I talk to my dad I actually hear something in response.  The vague feelings you describe honestly don't even seem to be of practical use.

  31. +Polkamon There is no longer any doubt, it has been proven that the Catholic church moved child rapists in their employ to other nations, so that they could avoid punishment or detection.

  32. +ChooseToThink Your ancestors literally genocided everybody to make way for your new nation. Maybe the cultures that shouldn't be respected or tolerated aren't JUST the criminals?

  33. You could avoid that situation by staying as far away from ethnic nationalists as you can. White nationalism IS the disaster.

  34. Jacques GD Sorry but you're still wrong White nationalists cause death and destruction even in homogenous societies. If there are no minorities to hate, they will invent one. Look at how they moved the goalposts in regards to who qualifies as "white" over the past 100 years. You think they won't do it again when they run out of black people to murder? Even if you're part of their 'master race', you still die if you express political dissidence, or any kind of abnormality. (Also Switzerland isn't run by nazis)

  35. Cool, I reference historical events and you think it's from Hollywood. Real well-read huh? You don't know anything about Switzerland or the Swiss, you've never been there and it's painfully obvious.

  36. Hi, Heritage takes many forms, be it traditions, unique dishes, fashion, music etc What heritage isn't: Starting a war to destroy your own country, just because you hate black people that badly.

  37. Sure kid, they created this world despite being prevented from having any position of influence for centuries.

  38. Why do the poorest blacks mostly vote for the Democratic party? Because the Republicans spent the last 50 years hating them.

  39. Donza Thompson Exception to the rule, there is literally no denying this.  Was it the democrats who concocted a story about Obama being a foreigner?  Nope.

  40. Donza Thompson This isn't actually the case.

  41. As with all races, it's a race if people say it is.

  42. And the most disengenuous philosopher of the year award goes to... I get that he's playing the game where by doing something really dumb he gets attention and therefore stays in a job, but this isn't just dumb, it's dishonest.  Now I'm compelled to avoid everything Dennett does, because he's revealed himself to be a charlatan.

  43. WTC7 has an explanation though, it didn't at the time it fell, but now it does.

  44. Do you really think she's upset about if we thumbs-down a video of her?  What is there to be considerate of?

  45. Snopes isn't propaganda, it just so happens that the Trump crowd happen to buy into a lot of tinfoil shit

  46. Dark Seid So linking a source isn't how you cite a source?  What, we're expected to use the Harvard standard here?  What are you going to do, write to my professor?  Sure kid.

  47. +The_Scriptor "If I don't know why something exists, any proposed explanation is necessarily an attempt to justify that thing!" Did you even watch it?

  48. "non native electromagnetic fields" lmao get a load of this extraterrestrial

  49. ***** You believe the almost imperceptible magnetic fields that are generated by electrical devices have a measurable effect on the human body, you're the moron.

  50. ***** Unlike you, I've actually studied Electrical Engineering at college.  I know about wireless transmission, induction, current flow etc.  I've worked with powerful magnetic devices and I understand the science of electromagnetism. Microwaves are literally shooting radiowaves (the same stuff visible light is) at a high frequency.  It heats up food and breaks down some chemical bonds, but that's what cooking is supposed to do.  You can't get cancer from microwaves unless you are literally being microwaved.  Even then, it would be from the burns, not "radiation". LED's have very little electrical emission, you might say that we shouldn't have bright lights at night but its personal preference. I don't have trouble sleeping at night, I know a lot of people who have worked with electricity for decades, they don't have illnesses or anything.
