Re: Richard Dawkins Stripped of “Humanist of the Year” Honor After Anti-Trans Tweets

Nope. As I said, AHA just gets to look stupid. Look back a few years....I seem to recall AHA being embroiled in something that wasn't exactly societally "correct." I don't even remember the issue anymore, and still give them money. As others should, I will be sending questions to the Foundation, of which I'm a member. As to "social life," it's kind of ingenuous in the age of "Cancel Culture" to speak of this in such a dismissive force? Krauss lost his entire educational career and can make no more legitimate contributions; he did it, but no reform was enough. AHA has done something stupid, and it will cost them from people much morally pickier than an I am.

Again, I see no discussion. And I see no one you respect listed as faultless. Yet. He was wrong; so join the throng to CONVINCE HIM. He's a scientist: he'll take EVIDENCE. AND he proposed NO action of discrimination, only "Discuss." I used to throw people off the cliff like this: tends to leave you all by yourself. That is, if no one like you has come along to pitch you off as well.

Of course we should criticize them. However, withdrawing a 26 year old award is a great way to look stupid. YES it isn't a sensitive comment. YES it should be questioned. So QUESTION it. The constant spanking is getting boring. Name one person who is in the public light who is not standing on shaky moral ground. What about you? Any skeletons? I've got mine. I see no discussion, I see a social guillotine.

One other thing: next time you use a "meme," remember who invented the concept.

At the grand old age of 68 and as a veteran of the late 60's AND the military among other things, I will only say this: cutting off "feet of clay" will leave the entire world as double amputees.
John 8:7
Authorized (King James) Version
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And I'm an atheist from birth.

These idiots are going to kill us all. This virus will settle into some valley in one of these idiot states and cycle back out into the population, MUTATED like the second wave of Flu 1918 which had a 90% death rate.

Re: Why are McMansions, Luxury High-Rises, and Commercial Buildings Exempted from LA’s Coronavirus Closure Orders?

tomjohnson — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 09:04:41 -0000

Very sorry to hear that LA is not taking this as seriously at the high levels as New York is. Test and quarantine: the only way to stop a virus outbreak.

Re: Colorado Pastor: I’m Ignoring All COVID-19 Safety Rules That Aren’t in the Bible

I have to say that between the Establishment on both sides overriding medical opinion and the Christians, maybe viruses are an intelligence test, or at the very least a gullibility test.

Re: I've seen that look before

tomjohnson — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 20:18:46 -0000

A dear departed friend once described that look as "...the smug, self-assured grin of a glory-hole regular with a mouthful of freshly-felched semen." I can't think of a better description.

Re: Michigan Senate GOP votes to gut recently approved voting access expansion

tomjohnson — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 14:10:49 -0000

This has become a point of Morality: it is simply wrong to act as the Michigan Republicans are doing. If they do so, every oath they have sworn to uphold the constitution is a lie. Are they actual Amoral if this is their political action? This is now a question that MUST be answered by every single Republican, even the guy next door: DO YOU SUPPORT THIS ACTION? A yes answer is not a moral answer.

And in the secular areas, it's taxed as a part of compensation.

Re: 10 Reasons Why Hillary Clinton Supporters are Still So Angry at Bernie Sanders

tomjohnson — Tue, 23 May 2017 14:11:44 -0000

Why in the name of anything sacred are you ARGUING with a Hillbot? They will settle for nothing less than CLINTON CLINTON CLINTON. OUR road must be through the grass roots, seeing as the current method of big donors and no transparency practiced by the new Democratic Pac "Forward Together" is opposed by the majority of the nation, no matter which party practices it. lena mcfarland might as well be a DNC worker passing the time; not a single point was raised about the 44% of voters IDing as independent. As usual. .

Re: Between Orwell and Huxley in the Age of New Authoritarianism

tomjohnson — Tue, 02 May 2017 08:21:03 -0000

We should remember, it's "...the body of democracy..." IN THE UNITED STATES that's on life support. AND If we weren't pooping in the world's oatmeal with 7 active wars, then even EUROPE wouldn't be having a lot of issues. And as to RETIREMENT, I've been through this political war three times in my life counting this one, each lasting years, and I don't think I should have to start up on Cimetidene (so I don't re-open an ulcer) and do this AGAIN, and all of us aren't as healthy as Professor Giroux.

Re: Atheist Whose Group Called Out School District’s Promotion of Christianity Is Now Being Threatened

I firmly believe we should not let the "persons" who post this sort of hate have their names blocked out. Don't let them hide.

Every single Criminal Cop on that line should be DOXXED. They and their families should not be able to walk down a city street without decent people spitting on them. Don't let monsters hide.

Re: Atheist Group Asks IRS to Investigate Church Where Pastor Told Congregation Not to Vote

tomjohnson — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 10:27:50 -0000

I filed a formal complaint with the IRS against a local "Baptist" mega-church-wannabe publishing an anti-atheist, anti-LGBTI, anti-CATHOLIC newspaper every quarter. The damned thing is as big as the free edition of the local paper. It's been a year now, with two more editions of their rag.

Except for the GMO's, like those made to tolerate Glyphosate, now showing levels in ORGANIC foods in Napa Valley. There...you're full of it. If you are GMO'ing to tolerate poison I get to eat, then forget you. The rest of it, I can agree on.

Re: Portia Boulger, Featured in Viral Video Viewed by Millions, Explains her Anger at DNC

My late father called himself a "Rockefeller Republican" for years after Rockefeller was dead: it's more of a faction; things that don't exist any more as far as both parties' Establishment are concerned.

This is a real Democrat, from the old school. She should be running somewhere.

I seem to remember that the DEMOCRATS are not in charge of Congress, and haven't been for 6 years. Got any progress you want to brag about as a Regressive Republican?

The thing is that LGBTQI people and their allies need to press for "churches" to lose their tax-free status, along with "ministers." We can start with guys like this, and eventually do them ALL.

Re: Hillary Clinton: Sanders Brought Passion, But Hasn't Gotten Me To Move On Any Policies

Then give me one reason to vote for her. I do not support Clowns or Criminals. It's called ETHICS and MORALITY...I'm funny that way.

Re: Sorry, Bernie: I Love You, but This Is Over—and Getting Embarrassing

tomjohnson — Thu, 19 May 2016 08:35:27 -0000

You know what, sport? YOU are embarassing. People like YOU are the reasons sociopaths like Clinton and Trump get nominated. Keep up, Clintonite. Keep pissing on about 50% of potential Democratic Voters. When you get Trump, it's all on you people.
