  Well I very nearly disliked your comment as well. Not because I don't think people should have a right to freedom of speech but because I felt you we causing confusion between what a person has a right to say vs. what people should say. SBF was in no way suggesting that that the WT's rights should be trodden upon. Rather, they were correctly noting that people will no longer have an apatite for such bigotry.

  And I don't think people were "disliking" your comment because they're against religious freedom of speech. I think they were "disliking" a perceived down talking to SBF.

  Crofty, allow me to help you out here. I think there's a fundamental disconnect between your position on what people have a legal right to say vs. most others on this forum who are addressing what's socially acceptable to say.

  Freedom of speech is the right to honestly express your opinions without fear of being censured, fined, imprisoned or killed by the State. But freedom of speech is NOT freedom from criticism or contrary views.

  The Society is free to preach their hate - and the rest of us are free to call them out on their bigotry.

  Labels are NOT arguments

  i love muslims - which is why i hate mainstream islam.

  history has categorically shown us that people are better off when there's separation of church and state, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and women's equality - all of which mainstream islam is diametrically opposed to.

  and criticizing islam doesn't make me an "islamophobe".

And criticizing Islam doesn't make me an "islamophobe". It makes me an Infidel. There's a difference. One is a vacuous term used to shut down argument. The other is a badge I wear proudly. Thank you.

  Who is your favorite thinker pt 2.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  once upon a time i started a thread who is your favorite thinker and got many responses.

  however revisiting that thread i noted we were to modest to name ourselves or fellow posters.

  i therefore think we are either complete idiots, or modesty aside we should now name names, and restrict our answers to posters on the board.. so who on this board is your favorite thinker and why?.

  Alleged JWs Topple Altars in Mexico City

  at first i though, "nah...".then, this part of the article spoke the loudest:.

  the spokesman for the jehovah's witnesses in mexico did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident, which occurred at least a month ago.. read the article for yourself: http://www.thepublicopinion.com/news/associated_press/national/latin-america/ancient-temple-of-mexican-otomi-indians-damaged/article_fb03cbfb-d103-53b3-a6b6-a74959e1fe78.html.

  The Worst Way of Living

  by Coded Logic in

  2. beliefs

  the unexamined life is not worth living.. -socrates.

  holding all of humanity in contempt and degrading every achievement of mankind as being insignificant is not a philosophy or a worldview worth having.

  tell me, oh self righteous jw, what was the price of your integrity?

  100-million man hours

  by Coded Logic in

  the james webb telescope is set to launch in october of 2018 and will allow us to study the formation of first generation stars, the molecular clouds that became the first galaxies, and directly image exoplanets.

  roughly one hundred times more powerful than the hubble space telescope the jwst is going to push back the current boundaries of science.. this is what 100-million man hours can accomplish.. .

  The most complex telescope ever built that will allow us to see things never before witnessed and explore parts of our universe previously hidden from view. It will even be able to look at the atmospheres of distant exoplanets and detect the chemical traces of life - if it's to be found. This is what time well spent looks like.
  

  Conversely, the JWs spent over eighty times that many hours preaching. And what do they have to show for their efforts? Stagnant growth? No widows or orphans that they've taken care of? Even more broken families? Not even one single charity event they can point to?

  Which bears better fruit - the assertions of religious dogma - or the disciplined efforts of scientific inquiry?

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  Wow, the UK has lost it's damned mind. And now because of this it will probably lose Scotland too. This is really going to hurt their economy for at least the next decade and seriously weaken their political influence.

  After Greece paid such a high price to stay in the EU I'm genuinely shocked the UK would just throw it all away. What's the up side?
