So am I the only one who mentally associates Objectivism with the Sith philosophy?
“Mentally associates” doesn’t cut it. They’re practically identical.

On Saturday, hackers who say they are members of the collective known as Anonymous claimed responsibility for crashing the Web site of the group, Stratfor Global Intelligence Service, and pilfering its client list, e-mails and credit card information in an operation they say is intended to steal $1 million for donations to charity. The hackers posted a list online that they...
How Christians neuter the Bible →
We have taken a book that purports to tell the public story of all people and all time, and we have reduced it to a source-book for clever snippets that lend themselves well to kitschy quotes on coffee cups, profound comments in the company of religious persons, and context-less Bible memory verses for children’s programs. A book intended to transform people and communities has become fuel for...

shit my grandparents say
“This house is n*****-rigged.”
-my grandmother
to which I raised my eyebrows until she responded, “That was mean and I shouldn’t have said it.” Yeah, no kidding.
“I like your hair that colour better. Wish it were longer, but I can’t have everything.”

How 'Modest Is Hottest' Is Hurting Christian Women →

nishnish:
“Making modesty sexy is not the solution we need. Instead, the church needs to overhaul its theology of the female body. Women continue to be associated with their bodies in ways that men are not. And, as a result of this unique association, women’s identities are also uniquely tied to their bodies in a manner that men’s identities are not.”
an interesting read

But I thought he was going to save us all from the Big Government menace?
In Paul’s defense, he is running for President and has been campaigning like crazy in Iowa and New Hampshire in order to secure those primaries. He probably understood the bill was going to pass anyways and instead chose to focus his energies on...

A modest proposal: Why don’t we do away with the study of religion at universities and put more emphasis on subjects such as math, economics, and science. Really, once you graduate from college those courses in religion are not going to help much in the workplace.

Because people should have an education.

Constructive criticism on my paper: Feminism,...
I don’t (comparatively) have many followers. But I’m feeling stuck with this paper and I really need some constructive criticism. If you identify as a feminist, agrarian, anarcho-primitivist, environmentalist, any combo of the above, or none of the above and don’t mind skimming through my current mess of a paper, it’s under the cut, and I will forever be grateful for...

stack is hard. but order and organization is not the same as censorship and i’m sure you did a great job. people get mad at stack because they want to say what they have to say and believe that it’s more important that what anyone else has to say. the point of GA is to recognize that everyone has a voice and everyone can speak in turn and with respect...

I got sick a couple of weeks ago and forgot that one of my favorite trolls is wishing me mad death and napalmings and such. So, for my new followers, I thought I’d repost some highlights of what got me in trouble with the logical positivists, the Ron Paul fans, and their hysterical apologists….

Because of the platform they now have, Eklund said he and his friends are discussing expansion and plan to release merchandise in the future. All the money earned will go to charity to support domestic abuse, suicide prevention and eating disorder support. “Things that people struggle with directly as a result of a poor self image,” he said.
Um, domestic abuse is the...

I had a dream that Prince Harry sat next to me in a final and I lectured him on abortion and how it should be legal and stuff.
And I was set to marry his brother (I guess Kate didn’t exist in my dream world), but Harry decided after he learned so much from me that he wanted to marry me, instead. And we lived in neighboring sky rises. So he came over.
I cheated on William with Harry right...

PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE: John Cusack
VF: Who are your heroes in real life?
John Cusack: Let’s go with Jesus. Not the gay-hating, war-making political tool of the right, but the outcast, subversive, supreme adept who preferred the freaks and lepers and despised and doomed to the rich and powerful. The man Garry Wills describes “with the future in his eyes … paradoxically calming and provoking,” and whom Flannery O’Connor saw as “the ragged figure who moves from tree to tree in the back of [one’s] mind.”
“We are called to play the Good Samaritan on life’s roadside… but one day we must...”
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
