Very late in life, Robert Young was diagnosed as bi-polar. He spent a life time under that pressure, but you never hear anyone say anything bad about him. Kids adored him and he was married to the same woman for decades. It's a shame that people have to suffer and it's a shame when they have given so much to so many, even simply in entertainment, and are still cursed and must suffer.

Well, I think the logical philosophical conclusion to atheism would be existentialism, so you're quite correct in that an atheist with intellectual integrity should be individualist to the extreme. However, real existentialist philosophy is so inherently depressing that few people can spiritually embrace it. That may be why, as some others have suggested, most liberals run on emotion rather than logic.

By the way, I've been a Christian for the past 34 years, and I've met relatively few "stupid, right-wing oppressors" in the Church. Mostly, they're just people.

Anyone else noticing that the Reply threads are broken again. I am seeing "6 replies", but clicking on it only displays 1.

Come on Big Hollywood, this is basic stuff and the site has been up for over 9 months now.

I guess I may as well plug some of the writings on 3 blogs I run here. Let's see what I have to offer... From my politics blog: Muslim riots at the Temple Mount and Shuafat, incited by our "peace partners" Fatah/Hamas. From my comics blog: Marvel editor Tom Brevoort says they won't go back to the "classic" version of the Avengers. Of course they won't, because they're letting Brian Bendis destroy the series now. And, from my game blog: a video of the GI Joe video game made by Konami in 1992! The recent movie was awful, but this game by contrast is worth the price of admission.

Reminded me of one the great moments in PR history. In 1916, the great Nathan Handwerker began under-cutting the boardwalk competition by selling his franks for a nickel instead of the dime everyone else was charging. His competitors spread rumors that he was obviously using inferior cuts of meat (and worse), and that to eat his hot dogs was to risk serious illness. Nathan had a picture taken of a bunch guys in white lab coats with stethoscopes eating at his stand, and claimed they were doctors from Coney Island Hospital.

That was subtle compared to the White House photo-op.

How does Obama get support from 64% of American jews and like 9% of Israelis? It also appears that 65% of my agnostic/atheist brethren are a bunch of idiots as well. http://jta.org/news/article/2009/10/05/1008324/je...
