I didn't get past KF's first paragraph, but I would like to buy some inadvertent volumes, leathers-bound.

I don't bother actually reading it. He hasn't said anything new in two years (at least). He's much like Joe in that respect.

When he couldn't explain his math to me (or refused to, which is the same thing), I gave up on him.

Gordon is just another Christian Fascist case-study in Dunning-Kruger.

rvb8- What happened in France is a tragedy. What people need to realize is that if you piss off emotionally unstable people bad things tend to happen. To me only imbeciles do things like that.


And Joe should know, being a pissed off emotionally unstable imbecile he can see all sides of this one.

Why does he leave low hanging fruit like this? He is just making it too easy.

Over at Why Evolution is True, Dr. Coyne just posted his year-end stats.  One image showed the views from countries under 10 views.  There was one view from Montserrat. Anyone care to guess who that might have been?

I got a whole $1 that says that view happened on February 10th, possibly the 11th.

Reminds me of a scene from Dave Barry's Big Trouble:

Quote
I’m a Gator fan and I’m calling.

And what do you have to say?

You said we didn’t have the guts to call, so I’m calling.

Yeah, OK, and so what do you have to say?

I’m sayin’ here I am and I’m calling.

That’s it? You’re calling to say you’re calling?

You said we didn’t have the guts.


Repeat several times.

He is of course referring to the "Golden Rule".

It turns about every culture ever had it hundreds of years before Christ. Whoda thunk?

He should look at the roots of his Judaeo-Christian worldview in antiquity.

ETA from the wiki article:

Quote
According to Simon Blackburn, although the Golden Rule "can be found in some form in almost every ethical tradition", the rule is "sometimes claimed by Christianity as its own".[47]

Classic Gordon. I'd love to see his letter to the US Dept of Homeland Security. Bet it wasn't short. Loony.

I'm not sure anyone can, given how fuzzy the definition of species is for bacteria.  Interesting mental exercise, but a bit too much like "which language has the most words".

Pig Latin. It has all the words of its source language, in all their variants, plus its own variants (like "away-ay" or "way-ay"). This is obviously true, and you know that as well as I do. You may not have the moral fortitude to face this fact, and thus define your own standards that lead you to believe things like "this question can't be answered," but that is only due to your own refusal to face the self-evident objective count of words.

Missing only the 'darwinist materialist' taunt.  Kudos to you, sir or madam.
But I must object -- the words of the 'natural language' which spawns pig latin are not included in pig latin.  In a set-theoretic sense, of course.  Joe could clarify this if we could pry him away from his ticks.
