  Complaining over post dislikes / downvotes

  by Simon in

  let's be clear: people have the right to like or dislike what they want - that is why the option is there.

  as long as they are not doing it in a malicious way to retaliate or game the system, there is no policing the votes.

  if you get a down-vote, live with it.

  I didn't think you could even see who had liked or disliked a post anyway so how would you know?

  Two tracks from the rather awesome Birdeatsbaby and the rather lovely Mishkin Fitzgerald.

  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  Confused by the "America" comment one given that many around the world clamor to attend Harvard, Berkley, Stanford, Yale among others every year.

  You do like to go off on a tangent, the point is that most universities around the world don't have to make such statements because they don't have to pander to a highly superstitious populace.

  I have never claimed that students around the world aren't keen to get into those universities.

  Americans first to land on moon, created the internet, source of most technological advances today, Russia a close second.

  Again I have never claimed otherwise.

  This isn't about patriotism but to act as though U.S. schools are somehow not credited or to demean their statements is well...ignorant.

  Unfortunately America does have a lot of non-accredited 'universities' but the ones you have mentioned are not among them. But i'm not sure why you bring this up as I have never suggested that the university you mentioned was non-accredited.

  So finally we get to something I did actually mention (congratulations) although of course your choice of epithet is inappropriate since clearly I am not ignorant of the subject matter, I would have gone with perhaps disparaging or censorious.

  What on earth does the fact that American universities have to include such platitudes to quell the fears of a superstitious populace have to do with anything.

  There was a lesson in the bible about reaping what you sow, how could we apply that lesson to the situation here?

  an emphais on facts can be as unfactual as non facts sometimes (sic)

  Can you give an example of that?

  Also could you tell me what units you use when adding imagination to an equation?

  ISIS Want to Clear up Why They Do Terrorism

  every time isis commit one of their atrocities, well-meaning folks mumble self-loathing apologies on behalf of "the west".

  noam chomsky and his sort lead a chorus of masochistic confessions.

  apparently everybody is to blame for islamic terrorism (according to bill nye global warming causes isis) - apart from islamic terrorists of course.

  Social justice warrior - that has never sounded like much of an insult although it does give an idea of the mindset of someone who thinks it is.

  Bill Maher - the antivaccine crank? I don't pay attention to antiscience nuts.

  Personally, I say treat the terrorists like terrorists and the ones who aren't the same as any other person who isn't a terrorist. People usually have to be proven guilty rather than just making an assumption.

  In other news religious people are never going to be embarrassed by their holy book (and whatever violence and bigotry it contains) whether it is the koran or the bible or the book of mormon. What you might be able to do is alter hearts and minds so that problematic parts are downplayed and no longer form part of the message. This has worked by and large with most christians who tend not to focus on the slavery, murder and summary execution sections. That isn't going to work if you are just going to portray all muslims as either terrorists or as sympathisers.

  I recently traveled to Tehran and the thing that most people wanted to do was talk to me, introduce themselves and find out what I thought of Iran.

  I wonder what the rituals and sacraments are...

  You only get to find that out once you are inducted...
