imo an excellent blog post by sam harris..... we are free to burn the quran or any other book, and to criticize muhammad or any other human being.
let no one forget it.. most secular liberals think that all religions are the same, and they consider any suggestion to the contrary a sign of bigotry.
somehow, this article of faith survives daily disconfirmation.
Tammy, Muslims are not a race. When will people learn the difference between bigotry and racism?
.
PS I freely admit to a bigotry against Islam and several other religious groups. I love Arab Atheists, I am not fond of Arab Muslims....bigoted yes...racist, no.

Great vid BTS. I have said for a while you can't give people freedom of religion when they want to deny your freedom of speech. All of our rights are a 2 way street, you have to give them to get them.
Jehovah's Witnesses and Trees are natural enemies.
i can't stop playing skyrim.
how did this happen?
i was never into this stuff before and never thought i would be.
I enjoyed Morrowind, and I now play some WOW. This style of gaming is addictive due to its goal and achievement nature. Your brain feels like you have accomplished something.
Poopsie, now that I know you are a game nerd...you are even hotter in my eyes.
doesn't it?.
this is not unexpected, unless your part of the presidents team of geniuses.. .
This will be a long road, but it will be worth it in years to come. Democracy takes time.
what is frustrating to me is that even if the wbts and silentlambs, attorneys and parents who have been contacted before law enforcement of sex abuse disclosures were to pick up their phones immediately and call the police to report alleged sex abuse, there is still a huge amount of hurdles to clear before an alleged abuser will be brought to justice.
investigations gathering evidence that is deemed to be prosecutable can take months.
diliberations by district attorneys before a judge can take months.
The right to a speedy trial belongs to the defendent not the victim. The D can choose to waive that right at any time.
i would like to hear from some of the tech-savy members: what do you think of anonymous.
i went all day with no email and half the day with my co. website down b/c they wanted to prove a point with godaddy.. i kept up with the guy on twitter @anonymousown3r claiming responsibility.
it could have been a trick, but he did seem very in control of the situation.. i started watching some of their videos on youtube.
SOPA is a terrible law. I think there was a lot of colateral damage that was unnecessay, but it is good to fight againt that law.
Like I said, Anonymous is not a group it is an idea. What one person does, another might not agree with it. IE #Anonyops seemed to not be as connected.

You cant think something about Anonymous...It is not a person or a cohesive groups. It is like asking what do you think about those quotes written by anonymous?
Overall I think they are a necessary counter balance to corporate and government power. I have to judge actions by a case by case basis.
.
i know the park is huge and i won't have much time there, but in a couple of weeks i will have a day or a day and a half to explore this part of the country.. i will be busy at big sky resort for a few days and leaving from bozeman on tuesday.
that leaves all day monday and possibly part of sunday to explore.. does anyone have any suggestions for maximizing my free time in yellowstone?
I like the Big Boobs National Park better...er Grand Tetons. Jenny Lake Lodge had the best breakfast I have eaver had. If you dont want to go over there I liked the gysers the most.

howard simmons/new york daily newsserena williams is thrilled about winning the u.s. open, but she will not celebrate with a champagne toast due to her religious beliefs.. there was an awkward interval sunday night in the press interview room, when the u.s. open sponsors, moet, delivered a trolley of small champagne bottles to the assembled media who already had waited an hour to ask post-match questions of serena williams.. before williams could begin answering questions, usta ceo gordon smith led a toast that basically called williams victory the greatest match in open history.. .
She will dance around draped in a flag at the olympics. What a duff.
