The world is awesome

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

This line of thought is very prevalent where I'm living in southern USA.

I read this article and the responses, and I'm numb to it because I hear this everyday at work.
"But the Costa story featuring Starscream? Fantastic! This guy is "The One", I just know it, just from these few pages. "--Yaya, who is never wrong.

Im still amazed someone would defend Glen Beck that isnt Glen Beck.

The guy is a bottom sucking blowhard. Of course thats usually the mandatory job requirement for Fox News reporters.

my favouite bit is when, in all seeming sincerity, the site host says

Why do you hate Glenn Beck? Why do you hate America? Why do you hate Jesus?

spectacular.

edit:

Ok this place is kind of frightening in slightly amusing way:

Classy.

Shouldn't 'Foreigners' be on there somewhere?

the thing that really throws me is - Linux?

i love the logic of 'they died, god won' - surely that means god has it in for everyone?

Then again if you actually believe in god looking at the generally arbitrary dispensation of misery that actually seems like a sensible conclusion.

Thing is, if they died and there is a God, then surely they've just gone off to meet him and be sent to heaven or hell or whatever.

In which case, there's no way of knowing who won without ascertaining what God did with them.

Unless it's like marbles. God wins, God gets to keep them. But that'd be like a casino version of marbles - the house always wins.

Double down!

I had no idea God hated Starbucks AND Hybrid Cars. Further proof that hippies are not the chosen people.

Now, correct me if im wrong, but arent 'live journals' and 'blogs' relatively the same concept? If so, looks like someone may end up on the wrong side of God's wrath.

Also, I think the real travesty is that public schools just cant produce the caliber of intellect that private/home school clearly did with this fine specimen.

Someone do the world a favor and neuter that idiot....

I'd go so far as to say they're the exact same thing...

My fave quotes:

"Everybody knows that all muslims hate white people so why should Obama be an exception?"

"Next time Osama Bin Laden blows YOU up you wont be laughing."

"Ted Haggard only pretended to be a Christian, he was a homo. That’s the opposite of a Christian."

This might be addressed somewhere on the site itself, but the "raped and killed a young girl in 1990" a joke that Gilbert Gottfried made at the roast of Bob Sagat.

It seems that every time a ComedyCentral.com video ends, it cycles through to that joke.

Not sure why believers in God don't grasp this.

"Ted Haggard only pretended to be a Christian, he was a homo. That’s the opposite of a Christian."
I think this guy is just yanking everyone's chain. A serious person can't really make such statements.

I think we're just falling for this guys joke. I hope.

What's that got to do with arguments about politics or religion?
