If stupid burns, you are self-immolating.Mykeruhttp://twitter.com/Mykerunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569302574020868825.post-61567418574710061522012-11-19T06:38:37.608-08:002012-11-19T06:38:37.608-08:00Hiya Reap! I'd be happy to see you apply logic...Hiya Reap! I'd be happy to see you apply logic and reason to gender issues, especially if it solves any problems in society at large. Unfortunately I've mainly only seen you defending calling women cunts, bitches, twats etc. -- maybe I'm too dim to see the link? 1. Call atheist women cunts and bitches, 2. Save the atheist movement, 3. Profit! .. How is that going to look to the 'theists' whose opinion you care about so much?<br /><br />No one their 'side' has ever said the movement is full of misogynists or there is rampant misogyny - only a few A*'ers in the movement (http://www.oolon.co.uk/?p=8). Why wouldn't there be misogyny in the movement when we all grew up in a culture steeped in religious misogyny, no one is free of cognitive error? Burden of proof is on you there...<br /><br />Also I post on A+ as well as the Slymepit (Not always trolling even!) and I wrote another lovely post where I specifically said I don't think they are all misogynists (The title might be misleading). Personal preference is to try and say things like 'Reap Paden says the stupidest things' not 'Reap Paden is a stupid thing'... <br /><br />BTW: You may find that in 'taking' atheism/scepticism back from PZ and Rebecca you get a little confused. Hint; they don't 'own' it, you are free to use as you feel fit, same as they are.oolonhttp://twitter.com/ool0nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569302574020868825.post-29248840356091070492012-11-18T12:26:41.227-08:002012-11-18T12:26:41.227-08:00You are entitled to your opinion,
When I said &quo...You are entitled to your opinion,<br />When I said "acting like religious people" my main reason for saying this is the manner in which assumptions are being made despite the lack of knowledge about a person or group of people. I'm sorry sometimes I make my own assumptions the people will see the same things I do because they seem obvious to me. You say you can't even make it through the blog which is typical of people like you. It's not quite as fun to listen as it is to talk is it? It is interesting how you feel this space "isn't for you" yet you take time to leave a comment. It is also interesting you ask a question of me, then you answer it, then you judge me based on the answer you provided to your own question. Then you you call me stupid.<br /> I really don't have any interest in someone who has conversations with others while they aren't even there . Whether you have breasts or not doesn't make a difference to me. It is the way you yourself don't get it and aren't interested in having a discussion you are interested in dismissing others who don't agree. That is what makes this space not for you. I would guess that any back and forth would force you to realize maybe you were incorrect and that would topple the house of cards you have built . Instead you can continue talking to yourself and claiming the fact you have breasts is the reason others don't agree with you. Again thanks for taking the time to comment it gives a good example of the kind of people I'm talking about.Reappadennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569302574020868825.post-43024259459084714452012-11-17T12:55:34.313-08:002012-11-17T12:55:34.313-08:00Cognitive dissonance for the win!
"Then I re...Cognitive dissonance for the win!<br /><br />"Then I realize a lot of them are being total idiots and acting just like religious people."<br /><br />And what is it that is the defining characteristic of "acting like religious people"? I'd argue that it is treating your own bias as if it is "truth" and beyond question.<br /><br />So I'm nodding along and then I read:<br /><br /><br />'They've been marching around screaming "MISOGYNIST" at anyone who doesn't fall in line, or telling people to "pick sides".'<br /><br /><br />Wait, what? That sentence (and the few that precede it) seems to me to fit the description of acting like a religious person. It's all sound and fury in defense of bias with not a single bit of rational thought in evidence. It's a blatant appeal to emotion... and not even the good emotions...<br /><br /><br />Yeah, I know... this space isn't for me... or people like me (people with breasts, or those that actually think of people with breasts as... you know... full fledged people). This is both the first and last time I read this blog. I didn't even make it through your third paragraph before the stupid hurt to much to go on. Your claim you apply reason and logic to gender issues is belied even before you made it.Ms Loreehttp://pulse.yahoo.com/_BBEO7V4H7LJIJBERAN3MHYQOFInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569302574020868825.post-49379493896675163062012-11-17T12:49:21.819-08:002012-11-17T12:49:21.819-08:00If there's any positive to come from all this ...If there's any positive to come from all this on a personal level, it's got me more active on-line. Due to my health & £ there's not much more i can do but point out their shit here in comments & blogs & twitter (i never did that before) but i realise it's nowhere near enough & that's why i'm grateful to people like yourself who say it like it is & have a far bigger audience than me. I envy you a little when i hear the fun you have on your Podcasts (apt'J) was cool the other day, "Lousy Fallacy" LOL. I suspect Ms Watson's a sociopath & will let her "Followers" down one day & Myers has always been an arrogant SOB, but nobody cared when it was aimed at Fundies. We'll come back bigger & better & we'll have shed the detritus that's been holding us back & others more worthy will take the place of the demagogues over at FftB & that sad little dying forum attached to it.

Make them irrelevant, like Sarah Palin. Don't hate them, don't like them; just ignore them and make them realize their diatribes are irrelevant and ignored.C. Bainesnoreply@blogger.com
