That is all.

86 Traitors to the United States are hidden within congress.

This year’s National Defense Authorization Act has just passed through the Senate. It is in direct competition to the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Every single of these sentors are now traitors to the very thing they vowed to uphold and protect.
The NDAA is not a new law, it has been passed and updated for the last 48 years to specify the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense. The problem comes however with a new provision to the NDAA. Section 1031 allows for the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without a trial or hearing. This goes against everything everything  our founders ever had envisioned for us.

An amendment, Section 1032, stating the intent is not to change existing common law, such as Hamdi v. Rumsfeld and Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, which ruled that lawful United States citizens have the right to challenge their detention before an impartial judge and military commissions (such as those at Guantanamo Bay) lack the power to proceed, respectively. The very fact though that they need such a amendment shows how terrifying this law is though. I also have questions about the wording. What determines  "Lawful United States Citizens", if i have broken a law and they pick me up can i then be held indefinitely? Does it matter the law? Either way what stop them from saying i broke a law just because they don't like something i did. If i am being held indefinitely how do i prove i didn't do it in the first place. To me it sounds like a giant "You have nothing to fear if you did nothing wrong". However when they are using such propaganda it is a great time to fear.

Should be no surprise that Jim Inhofe (R-OK) voted for it. His voting record aliens right up there with many republican oklahomians. Inhofe is in favor of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, against adding sexual orientation to the definition of hate crimes, and voted against prohibiting job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. So for him to throw the Constitution in our faces is not that big of a surprise. Every member that voted for the NDAA  should be impeached immediately, or at minimal not be re-elected when the times comes. Here is a list of all the Y EAs. Everyone of these senators needs to know we will not accept this blatant disregard of human and civil rights much less the Constitution on which they have vowed to uphold.

Then here is the 13 Senators who opposed the final* version of the bill. I was kinda of surprised to see Coburn on this list. While i still do not like Coburn that much, i can at least respect him for this. As well on this list is the former funny man Franken. This list should have been much longer if you ask me. It saddens me that there are only 13 people on this list.

NAY - 13

Franken (D-MN) Harkin (D-IA) Lee (R-UT) Merkley (D-OR) Paul (R-KY)

Risch (R-ID) Sanders (I-VT) Wyden (D-OR

*The original bill that went though the senate was passed by a 93 to 7 vote. This vote was the final version after the house voted on it as well.

Add this law to SOPA, Stop Online Piracy Act, that they are trying to pass right now and all civil and human rights will have effectively been stripped away. Free speech will be a thing of the past. I will talk more on SOPA a bit later but just know that if passed the internet will never be the same again. As with the NDAA anyone who supports this bill, which there is a lot, are traitors to the US and our Constitution.

New commenting system

So i have decided to implant a new comment system here on blogger. The default commenting system is highly limiting and it started to bug me. After stumbling onto a way to add disqus to blogger i decided to jump on to opportunity and have add it. While you can use Disqus as a guest, does require a email though, it is not hard to make an account and will make the commenting section that much better. They give you a lot of ways to make an account as well. Such as making an native Disqus account or making one with Google, twitter or  your Facebook account.

Disqus adds a lot of functionally the normal comments just don't have. The most important one is being able to reply to comments and have it actually create comment trees and along with that comes comment notifications. Which not having has always bug the living hell out of me.

I think everything will go smoothly but if something wacky does happen this is probably why, and i will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks.
Charles

Edit: Seems like it takes a bit for comments to show up, or well i am hoping that is all that is going on. I will see if that can be fixed or not. If comments don't show up right away or soon after it kinda kills this whole thing.

Edit: Now they are showing up right away. Maybe it just at first which i can deal with.It also seems i cant reply to myself here while odd, since i can other places, doesn't affect me much. So all looks good right now.

Edit: (Should be the last one lol) Disqus isn't working on the mobile site and is using the default comments. If you comment on the mobile site the comments wont show up on the normal site. So try not to comment on teh mobile site if you can. Why isn't it working you ask? Well after digging into the internet ( serching google for 5 secs) looks like Google disables widgets, what disqus uses,thus it not showing up. I found a few people saying this is being worked on and when it gets fixed it should fix itself on my end. So here to hoping it gets fixed soon.

The Adventures of Beef Thompson: Vampire Hunter

So one of my favorite Nerdcore rappers, beefy... just don't you dare call him MC, has just dropped a new album. You all should pick it up, right now! As usual he brings the nerd hotness with this new release with great new songs like, god hates fangs and too good for me, among many others. While the album is free, a name your price feature is also active so you can throw in however much you think the album is worth. Which if you like the album at all and can afford it i suggest you do. Got to support the artist and what they love to do after all.

I have been listening to the whole album on repeat since it dropped and got to say i love almost every song on it. My favorites probably being god hates fangs, too good for me, Shots [f. Adam Warrock] and nerdcore-now. They all have something special about them though, like PAXXX which i thought was a strange song at first but is actually a song about a posting that was found for an orgy at pax on Craigslist. After that the song became funny as hell if not still strange. haha. From beefy's own words about the song

A couple years ago during the lead up to PAX Prime, it was discovered that there was an invite on craigslist to an orgy for PAX attendees (kotaku, joystiq). I thought it was only right to represent for these bold champions and discuss my future PAXXX plans.

Where as God hate fangs is an amazing song inspired by true blood. So what not to like?

I'm a fan of True Blood. It is easily the biggest guilty pleasure show I watch, but I care not. I eagerly await each and every episode. This is my ode to the Southern Vampire Mysteries.

I could go on for ever talking about each song but i think you need to discovers them for yourself so go and download the album and donate some if you can.

Thanks
Charles

new same old ownership

I changed which account had control of this blog. The old account, now know as ohgodwhathappened lol, has been transferred to a new account and all new post will be from here. so if anything strange happens that is why. Looks like i don't have followers anymore O_o so no one will likely see this lol. EDIT: nvm followers are back

The Doctor jizzed his pants.

Well here you go, jizz in my pants, done by The Doctor. It is actually really well made too. The scenes fit really well with the music.



Link to YouTube just in case it doesn't work .... and credit i guess lol

Oh movie, how ridiculous you are.

pop quiz time children!
So what should you do right after excapeing from the kgb, who has already tracked you all across the state by the wonders of "hacking"* and You are now hiding/riding on a train with a (admittedly fairly hot) women, who the kgb want dead for some reason. 

A: bunker down and load up on guns and wait to fight it out.
B: load up on guns and take the fight to them.
C: have angry sex (at least at first but then it becomes the sweet kind with sappy music)** with said female because It is not like the KGB will track you down ... like they very have before....every damn time.

and the correct answer is C of course. You Always have angry sex while being chased by a hit squad bent on killing the women you are with, and you by association. That is always the best course of action...always. Then again if you do die...at least you had sex one last time..right????  Shrugs, oh the wonders of movies.

notes:
* the hollywood kinda of hacking were everything is connected not only to other computers but the internet as a whole.

** you know just like every hollywood angry sex scene. It is angry to sappy sweet with cheesy music in 5 seconds.

The pen might be mightier then the sword, but it can't beat the railgun.

So if you pay attention to tech stories at all, and knowing the people who will/might read this i know you don't, you know that in the world of tech, mostly in the phone market, the saying is sue first, ask questions later. The likes of Apple, HTC, Samsung, Microsoft, and many others are suing the crap out of each other. Mostly Apple suing HTC, Samsung, Motorola, ect and then them counter suing but still. the suing is getting crazy, making Google go so far to buy Motorola to get their 17000+ patents they currently have, for 12.5 billion dollars. Yes i did say billion. Anyways the reason i am telling you this is to get you up to date, so i can lead into what i really wanted to talk about.

Joining the fray of the sue happy is Bethesda. If you know know who Bethesda is they are the creators of the likes of Morriwind, Oblivion and soon to be released Skyrim, among many others, like quake and doom. Who are they suing you ask? They are suing Markus "Notch" Persson, the man behind Minecraft and head of Mojang. Notch has a new game in the works called Scrolls, a card based game, to my understanding. it is kinda like Magic the Gathering or Pokemon but for the computer, or possible the phone. Bethesda thinks Scrolls infringes on their name "the elder scrolls". Many people find this kinda crazy however, since for one, hardly any one calls it the elder scrolls and simply it second name, like Oblivion or Skyrim. Then second, because  "scrolls" is nothing like "The elder scrolls". If it was the accident scrolls, ok maybe. But just the one word should not be a trademark infringement. Then thrid, the game are nothing a like either. One is a RPG and the other is a card based game. If they were both RPGs even, maybe i would understand, but it is not.

However because of this, scrolls has got a bit of media, mostly tech blogs. Notch being the brilliant man he is has turned a bit of news and a potentially costly lawsuit into a thing of genius. He has come out and challenged Bethesda to a game of quake 3 deathmatch. A two round, 3 on 3 Quake 3 arena deathmatch, highest frag count wins. With each side picking a map to play on, so to be fair. If Notch wins, he keeps the name and they drop the suit, if Bethesda wins Notch will change his name, with no costly suit for either side. This is a beyond genius move. The likelihood of Bethesda agreeing is probably slim. However, if they did the PR, for both Notch and Bethesda, would be off the charts amazing, no matter who wins. It could even be live streamed so anyone could watch it. If Bethesda doesn't agree to this however, it is still a good move for Notch. He gets the support of thousands of people and gets his game out there in the news. He would be the bigger man, that a big bad company is trying to squish, more so then the image is already there. Even if he backs down and changes his name, or takes the case to court and loses, that is all going to be covered and is more about his game, with its new name as well. Or if he wins, it is a triumph for the little guy, or so it will be reported, and his game will still be put out in the news. Either way Notch wins in a PR move,  it is only a matter of how Bethesda comes out of this looking. They have a chance to take an amazing PR move and run with it.

Lollipop Chainsaw, That is all!

Yes what you just saw, that is if you watched the video, if you didn't shame on you, is a very real game coming in 2012. Oddly enough i want to play it a lot, which has nothing to do with half a dressed cheerleader wielding a chainsaw either....mostly. It honestly just looks like a fun zombie game, what i have seen makes it seem even parody-ish of a zombie game. Also come on you know you loved that the last zombie POPed open and it had rainbow blood. Whether that is a feature in the game, it so should be if not, or just artist licensing in the trailer is yet to be seen. I also happen to love their song choose, not so much for the song itself though. It just seemed to work with that whole sweet and innocent but zombie game vibe(aka kinda zombie game parody-ish like i said).

Well that is all for today i guess. Hope you enjoyed Lollipop chainsaw

entitlement = socialism but only when it is not directly effecting me!

So a couple a days ago gawker posted this article about Fox news anchor Megyn ( wtf kinda spelling is that, anyways) Kelly, defending maternity leave, her maternity leave to be exact. I had mixed emotions with this though because, logically i agree with what she is saying, and the dude was kinda a douche, but what she said just didn't sit right with me. So now that it affected her directly her maternity leave is great and wonderful and so not socialism ideas. Here is some of what she says, including some very socialistic ideas. Oh, and she tears down the douche pretty good.

MK: Just in case you didn't know, Mike, I want you to know that the United States is the only country in the advanced world that doesn't require paid maternity leave. Now I happen to work for a nice employer that gave me paid leave. But the United States is the only advanced country that doesn't require paid leave. If anything, the United States is in the dark ages when it comes to maternity leave. And what is it about carrying a baby for nine months, that you don't think deserves a few months off so bonding and recovery can take place, hmm?

MG: Well, do men get maternity leaves?
MK: Guess what honey? Yes, they do. It's called Family Medical Leave Act. If men would like to take three months off to take care of their newborn baby, they can.

Ok see, what she says is logical and makes sense and i agree with her, which is odd to agree with someone from Fox, lol.. It is true that The United States doesn't require paid leave, unlike other "advanced" countries. The problem i have with her saying this though is she works for fucking Fox News! I had the urge to scream at her that you know what these other "advanced" countries have that we America doesn't have? A Socialist government! And Fox loves to rail against socialist...well anything, as well as accuse Obama of being for such a government. I am sure i could find past videos of megyn herself, complaining about these entitlements, and many others. Though, I figured I would just let Jon Stewart do it for me, and he sums up the whole "entitlement = socialism but only when it is not directly effecting me" bullshit too, quite nicely if i might add with a George Carlin video. Enjoy! The good part starts about 50 seconds in.
PS. He also shows a nice clip of her railing against, the mentioned family medical leave act. Saying the it called "MAternity" leave for a reason, implying it should just be for mothers.

 The Ultimate Investment Scam (EVE)

Player "Cally" won at EVE Online despite it being a massively multiplayer game with no victory condition. Other players earn ISK (game currency) by mining, completing quests or killing each other. Cally, on the other hand, simply asked for it. And it worked, and there was nothing they could do about it. Because while the other losers went into the economy as honest workers, or corporations, he realized he could go in as a bank.

Photos.com
The novice mode for illegal profiteering.

He spent months running the "EVE Intergalactic Bank (EIB)." This offered loans for start-up EVE corporations and miners who wanted to buy tools, with interest rates and repayment plans and yes, we're still talking about a game people apparently play for fun.

Move over Pac-Man!

Cally certainly had fun: He fulfilled the secret fantasy of every bank manager in history, when one day, he walked in and just took all the money. All the money was 790 billion ISK, about $170,000 in real dollars, which he used to become the greatest video game villain of all time. He spent a huge chunk of the money to buy a ridiculously powerful warship, another chunk posting a huge bounty on his own head, then sailed off into space just daring people to kill him.

Something like this -- the biggest middle finger in history.

The ultimate dickery? He posted a 15-minute video bragging about how he got away with it, mocking his loyal employees at EIB, enemies who failed to stop him and the suckers who basically paid for a second job -- essentially paying for the right to have their money stolen. Understand: Cally is now officially smarter than every Bond villain put together, because he found a way to give an expository monologue without getting killed.

teenagers ( like up to 15 - 16 mostly ) and younger are whinny litle bitches

http://leilavc.posterous.com/google-and-age

This link is a blog post in response to this question over at Google. Honestly, all i hear is crying, from mostly people 15 and under, because Google has decided to not let any one under 18 into Google+ as of right now, do to safety concerns. Do they really feel that entitled to everything on the internet? Also, to the ones upset that no one under 13 will be allowed at all, really? Do some fucking research, Google would get in a lot of trouble if they did. It is an American law, that wont let companies to keep data on anyone younger then 13, and they must abide by it. If you are younger then 13, wtf do you need a social networking site for anyways? Get your ass outside and play instead. You know i think they should keep it at 18+ and let all the whinny bitches go play on Facebook instead. If we get Facebook to block them as well, maybe we can end cyberbulling for these weak little shits after all.

Grumble grumble, so much for any hope for the younger generation, not being whinny little asshats, who think they deserve everything handed to them.

Ok cya for real now i think,
i do i have one more post i want to make, but i am taking my time on it and might not get it out today.

So talk to you later.

Al franken is an amazing senator.

Alan Stuart "Al" Franken (born May 21, 1951) is the junior United States Senator from Minnesota. Franken before becoming a senator achieved note as a writer and performer for the television show Saturday Night Live from its inception in 1975 before moving to writing and acting in films and television shows. He then became a political commentator, author of five books and host of a nationally syndicated radio show on the Air America Radio network. Then in 2008, Franken narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman, and then he was sworn in to the Senate on July 7, 2009.

Why am i telling you all this? Well, mostly to introduce you to the most amazing senator ever. Want to know why he is the most amazing senator ever? No, it not because he was on SNL, it is because he, unlike so many, is a true senator. How is he a true senator you ask? Well that is easy, he doesn't just go along with what is told to him. He reads and questions anything in front of him and ask the hard questions. Here is a clip at a resent meeting about DOMA ( defense of marriage act, if you didn't know. Which is a minimal a shitty law, and at worst a law that actually hurts children of gay couples, which one of the founders of DOMA admitted to actually). Watch Al, catch focus on the family ( a shitty activist group some call a hate activist group)  witness in a horrible horrible shitty lie, which all Al had to do to catch him was read the report which was presented to him by focus on the family. Watch and enjoy as much as i did.

I really wish we had more senator like AL, who actually did their jobs, like Al just did. I have seen other chips of him as well, tearing down the likes of apple and many others in stupid lies. I honestly don't know what Al, personal feeling on DOMA and FotF are, but that shouldn't matter as he is showing here. He is only doing his job of exposing the lies and asking questions. If every senator was like Al, America would be a much better place.

Well that is all peace out

WTF Arkansas

So in my daily surfing of the intertubes, i came across an article about a small town in Arkansas, they only have about 850 citizens, where the city console has made a power play for, unconstitutional, right on who can gather and have groups. Who makes power plays in small ass towns, i mean really? Anyways,

"The city council of Gould, Arkansas just passed an ordinance that forbids "new organizations" from forming without their permission. This applies to any organization, from book groups to Justin Beiber Fan Club chapters—but especially applies to groups that like to talk local politics."

This is a blatant disrespect of the first amendment. However, Some have suggest that the amendments don't necessarily apply to local governments, with out a court saying so at least, but it is all a non issue because Arkansas STATE constitutions also granted the right to assemble. Meaning at the very least they are breaking the states constitution and possibly the federal one.

Also,

Because it's so squishy language-wise, the ordinance seems to forbid the 850 or so residents from discussing local politics in any way, anywhere.

This could be anything from talking about politics at the dinner table to talking about them with hair dresser. This is an insane thing to do and try to enforce. What kinda person tries to put this much control into their hands? Who is elected right now to city council? Neo- Nazi? Even ignoring the legality of this law, what kinda of asinine group think they have the right to control people, they supposedly represent, like this. But it gets so much better.

Meetings between citizens and the town mayor that take place without the council's authorization are now illegal as well.

 Want a meeting with the mayor after this becomes law? Well if the city council doesn't like it, you are shit out of luck. See the real power play now? They have effectively taking everything from the mayor. With this the city council now pretty much have control of the whole city. Want to talk to the mayor about a law that is being put in place by the city council, that you don't like? Well, now the same city council that is putting in the law, gets to decided if you get to talk to the mayor, who does still have veto power over new laws. If you can't talk to the mayor, the mayor doesnt know the concerns of his people, potentionally ( i mean there is only 850 of them after all lol ), and wouldn't know what to veto based on their concerns.

So speaking of the mayor, where is he in all of this? He is standing by his townsmen ( or should i be PC and say townspeople?), the major has actually vetoed the ordinance once, because it is unconstitutional, but fears at the next meeting, it will get the green-light from the council, who has already overrode his veto.

the mayor of Gould, Earnest Nash, vetoed the ordinance for reasons having to do with the U.S. Constitution, which mentions freedom of speech and the right of assembly somewhere. But the council overrode his veto, and will surely give the official green-light to their legislative masterpiece at their next meeting, scheduled for August.

 So what is the mayor plans now, that the council have overrode his veto? Will he lye down and let it happen? According to him, he is ready to fight tooth and nail for his town and their rights. He is ready to, both, fight them in court, which hopefully would be overturned quickly, or even go to jail fighting them.

Nash says he's willing to go to jail—or court, or both—to stop final passage of the ordinance, which even the Gould city attorney has deemed unlawful. (As a show of gratitude for the attorney's analysis, the council reportedly tried to fire him.)

Yes you read that right, after the city attorney disagreed with the council, they reportedly tired to fire him. It is plainly obvious that this council has gone insane with power. Why or how, i will never understand. I mean it fucking city council after all. I think there needs to be an investigation into them and most, if not all, impeached from office. Either way, i don't see any of them getting reelected, which is funny, because maybe this is what this whole thing is about. Trying to stay in office. Way to not be effective at all.

When reporters asked members of the council, what started all this, because you know something was the catalyst for this, it didn't come from no where. Members just said, that they didn't have the funding for the building that the Gould Citizens Advisory Council, where using. When question further about why this meant they couldn't still meet, at other location not funded by the city, and others could be formed. The council only said they thought this should be city protocol.

I am still flabbergasted by this, i still cant understand what the city council thinks they are doing, besides power plays and what not. Do they honestly believe they have the right to take other peoples rights away? I just don't get it really. However, i am glad to see the mayor is in the corner of the people of Gould, and the Constitution. I wish him luck in getting this overturned or not enacted at all, which i don't see being a problem, and getting his city back to normal.

I think you should head over to foxnew site and watch the full video with the interview with the mayor, to get the full scope of it all.

I guess this is all in my installment of, WHAT THE FUCK THE INTERNETS GOT TO SHOW ME.

Why you should convert to Flying Spaghetti Monsterism!

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERISM YOU ASK?
Well it is clear once you know these things.

• Flimsy moral standards.
• Every Friday is a religious holiday.
  If your work/school objects to that,
  demand your religious beliefs are
  respected and threaten to call the ACLU.
• Our heaven is WAY better.
  We've got a Stripper Factory
  AND a Beer Volcano. 

        If those things don't make it clear why you would want to join let me get more into it. As a member of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, i have found much wisdom from accepting his Noodlliness words as the one and only truth. I have affectedly been touched by his Noodly Appendage.

        Some have claim that the church is purely a thought experiment, satire, illustrating that Intelligent Design is not science, but rather a pseudoscience manufactured by Christians to push Creationism into public schools. These people are mistaken. The Church of FSM is real, totally legit, and backed by hard science. Anything that comes across as humor or satire is purely coincidental. With millions, if not thousands, of devout worshippers, the Church of the FSM is widely considered a legitimate religion, even by its opponents – mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs.

So yes Pastafarianism is a real religion. Most of us however do not believe a religion – Christianity, Islam, Pastafarianiasm etc – requires literal belief in order to provide spiritual enlightenment. That is, we can be part of a community without becoming indoctrinated. There are many levels of belief. By design, the only dogma allowed in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the rejection of dogma. That is, there are no strict rules and regulations, there are no rote rituals and prayers and other nonsense. Every member has a say in what this church is and what it becomes. To outsiders it makes us hard to define, but here are some more general things that can be said about our beliefs:

• We believe pirates, the original Pastafarians, were peaceful explorers and it was due to Christian misinformation that they have an image of outcast criminals today
• We are fond of beer
• Every Friday is a Religious Holiday
• We do not take ourselves too seriously
• We embrace contradictions (though in that we are hardly unique)

       Now you are probably asking yourself is this a joke, so just let me state that It’s not a joke. Elements of our religion are often described as satire and there are many members who do not literally believe our scripture, but this isn’t unusual in religion – it’s only more obvious in the case of our particular religion. A lot of Christians, for example, don’t believe the Bible is literally true – but that doesn’t mean they aren’t True Christians. If you say Pastafarians must believe in a literal Flying Spaghetti Monster to be True Believers, then you can make a similar argument for Christians. There is a lot of outlandish stuff in the Bible that rational Christians choose to ignore. We do the same with our scripture. This is intentional.

We’re are also not anti-religion, even if comes across like that. This is also NOT an atheists club. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join our church including current members of other religions. In addition to the Atheists, Agnostics, and Freethinkers who have joined us, we have a number of Christian (and Muslim, and Hindu and Buddhist …) members and more are welcome. So let me make this clear: we are not anti-religion, we are anti- crazy nonsense done in the name of religion. There is a big difference. Our ideal is to scrutinize ideas and actions but ignore general labels.

      If you still don't believe any of us believe this, well some Pastafarians honestly believe in the FSM, and some see it as satire. I would just make the point that satire is an honest, legitimate basis for religion. Satire relies on truth to be effective. If it’s a joke, it’s a joke where to understand the punchline you must be conscious of underlying truth. Compare our religion to those that are built on lies. I am not talking necessarily about mainstream religions (which themselves are often full of mysticism and ad-hoc reasoning), but think of cults, or churches where the leaders are scamming their followers out of money. These are groups where the followers fully believe. Are these churches legitimate since they have many True Believers?
Or can we agree that religion is as much about community as any shared faith. By any rational metric, Pastafarians are as legimate a religious group as any. Arguably more so, since we’re honest and rational.

If everything i have told you so far hasn't convinced you that the CotFSM is right for you. Maybe this will help, it was really an eye opening experience for me and i hope to live up to the standard of our prophet Bobby, much of what i have written copied and pasted is his words actually.

"But nonbelievers are overreaching when they dismiss the phenomenon of religion as wrong and useless because it so often lacks a basis in evidence. The fact that millions of people get something positive out of a religion – even if it is based in superstition – *does* mean something. But that’s not to say it’s True, only that it has Value. For many people, religion is about being part of a community and being part of something bigger and more important than themselves

Nonbelievers would be better off criticizing only on the negative, damaging parts of religion, and being less judgmental about the idea of religion in general. Nonbelievers get hung up asking for evidence when really we should be looking at why does religion thrive despite evidence? We should be pushing the idea that faith is not equivalent to evidence-based-reasoning without insisting that it’s inferior, only that they are different ways of seeing the world. And that the problems happen when these world views clash." 

      My bases for not liking religion, not just Christianity they are just the loudest, for a long time was a lack of evidence, and all who followed such a religion was obviously stupid to me, because they couldn't see the lack of evidence. Who could put myth and superstition before science and evidence, i always wondered. Our prophet Bobby, both explained that and showed me my errors of my way. I still think religion as a whole is not the answer and that rational thinking is still better, as do many followers of FSM, it one of the main things we believe actually, that rational thinking is a good thing. However, that doesn't mean that people following a religion don't have a personal reason and belief in what they think and that they don't get something out of it. And that means it does have value, to them, and no matter what i think, i can't dispute that value. I still support rational thinking, as i already said, but i can't put them down for that personal belief that give them value, i can however disagree and we can have debates about it, but i can do it civilly as well. I hope that they can do the same with me.

If nothing else, we also want a pirate ship. Does your religion want a pirate ship? Didn't think so.

So now you want to be a Pastafarian, what do you have to do you ask?
Nothing, If you want to be a pastafarian you are. You’ll notice there’s no hoops to jump through. You don’t need to pay anything. You are just a pastafarian as soon as you want to be.

I think i have talked enough now so i will leave you with this

the wounders of the internets and the stupid people of the world.

So in my wonderful trip around the world of the interwebs today, i have come around a couple articles i would like to share with you.

First off, we start with Casey Anthony, oh but not the 25 year old white female Casey Anthony, that you all love oh so much ( er or did i mean hate? i forget the difference some times lol ), but no the 43-year-old black male from Darby, PA. Why am i talking about him? Because he has the unfortunate circumstance to have that name, along with his two sons,... why he named, not one but two kids after him i wont even get into. Since the the trial ended, and probably somewhat before it, Mister Anthony's Facebook has been flooded with messages and friend invites and the likes. His phone number was visible on his profile as well, and as such the phone calls started rolling in shortly after and has since had to start screening his call. He hasn't felt to threatened yet, so he hasn't gotten the police involved, but some message are on the verge of death threats i gather. If you are still wondering why i am telling you all this, it is because i have to wounder, what kinda of stupid does it take to mistake a 43 year old black man for a 25 year old white woman. Granted i haven't seen his Facebook, and maybe he doesn't have a  single image of him or something, but i highly doubt it. There are other ways to tell that this isn't the right Casey as well. Like he lives in Darby, PA and not Florida. Umm and oh yeah, Non of the other other information matches up either? What went thru their heads? Oh this is a black man from PA, and none of this information matches with the Casey Anthony from Florida..... SHE IS TRYING TO FOOL US!! BURN IT WITH FIRE FACEBOOK MESSAGES? I mean really, does anyone think before the knee jerk reaction kicks in? It is like faster the knee jerk, the lower the IQ or something. Part of me wants to blame this on Facebook, since i just don't like it lol, but honestly people where like this before it was around as well, i cant really. Facebook as just made it easier to be a fucking dumb ass. Ohhhh, maybe that can be their new slogan, "Facebook - We make it easier for you to be a dumbass!" haha. Anyways if you want the whole story and a news video about the guy, hit the link and check it out.

Now onto my other article, That isn't as stupid, at least to me. I just find it funny.
So if you new to the Internets, or don't dive to it simi deeper depths. You may never heard of the, pastafarianism, or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Well three years ago, self-confessed atheist, Mr Alm, who says he belongs to the CotFSM ( it a lot to type out) decided to apply for a driver license, after reading that headgear was allowed in official pictures only for confessional reasons.The headgear in question you ask? A pasta strainer, yes the man wanted to wear a pasta strainer, what else would you wear? After 3 years and a mental health test, to see if he was fit to drive, the police finally allowed the man to hear his headgear in his picture. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has also wrote to the Kansas School Board asking for the pastafarian version of intelligent design to be taught to schoolchildren, as an alternative to the Christian theory. So what next for the Mr. Alm and the church you ask? he says the next step is to apply to the Austrian authorities for pastafarianism to become an officially recognized faith. I wish him luck, and hope to see the CotFSM views being thought in schools all over the place.

Well that is all for now i guess i just found those really funny and or stupid enough to post about.
