Anarchism: Philosophy and Ideals (Kropotkin)
But a change, much more profound, and with far wider reaching results, is being effected at the present time in the whole of the sciences, and Anarchy, you will see, is but one of the many manifestations of this evolution.

A Bible Verse on Every Taxi
TAGBILARAN, Philippines-- One city in the Philippines requires that a scripture be painted on the main public transportation method -- a three-wheeled motorcycle.
Any driver caught without a Bible verse is fined or has their license revoked. The city wants the world to know how much they love God's Word.

10 Ways Conservatives Don't Act Like Christians
Going to church doesn’t make someone a Christian. Heck, following the Bible doesn’t even really make someone a Christian. Christianity is based on a belief in Jesus Christ and one’s attempt to live their life based on the values for which he lived.

DoucheCam Evidence Mounting
Police dashboard camera video shows Robinson arresting Vasquez for the expired sticker.
When the officer first grabbed Vasquez's arm, the older man pulled it away. Robinson then pushed Vasquez down on the hood of the police cruiser. The two fell out of the camera's video frame, but police said the officer used the Taser on Vasquez twice while he was on the ground.

The DoucheCam is kind of making the case for a Police Offender Registry
Pope: animals go to heaven

Pray the Gay Away, or just kidnap and beat them
"[A] 2013 incident has now led to the indictments of five church members: Sarah Covington Anderson, Adam Christopher Bartley, Brooke McFadden Covington, Justin Brock Covington and Robert Louis Walker Jr. Each face simple assault and kidnapping charges. Anderson also faces an additional charge of assault by strangulation. The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office released the information Tuesday afternoon."
Honestly, religious fundamentalists scare the shit out of me!

Understanding Antisocial Personality Disorder
From Drugs.com:
So, if it is caused by poor parenting/role models, the community, genetic or biological factors, and/or abnormalities in the brain, exactly how is it that a person suffering this disorder should "take responsibility for any of his or her own suffering"?A person with [Antisocial Personality] disorder usually does not take responsibility for any of his or her own suffering.But then...
Antisocial personality disorder is probably caused by a combination of factors. Having any of these characteristics does not necessarily mean that a person has antisocial personality disorder.
I am genuinely perplexed by this anomaly of a prime example of blaming the victim.
And as a "professional" once told me: "That is exactly the kind of thing an antisocial personality would say". Well, fuck me.

Withholding Baptism
Under a new policy in Madison, Wisconsin, priests won't be able to baptize the children of same-sex couples without special permission from the bishop's office.
Facing a backlash, Bishop Robert Morlino's spokesperson is now insisting that he's not trying to deny baptisms to anyone -- but church experts are calling it an unprecedented attempt to single out gay parents for extra scrutiny.
For years, Pope Francis has scolded priests who refuse to baptize children born out of wedlock, saying they bear no responsibility for their parents' actions. In contrast, Morlino appears willing to hold children hostage to his own anti-gay agenda.
These idiots take the cake.

Amerikan Stasi Police State Staring Us In The Face
From "donating" MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) military vehicles to our local Amerikan small town police departments in the Heartland and from coast to coast to the runaway prison industry which is hell bent on incarcerating every American which does not toe the corporate line, the signs are clear:
You have given up your right to be and live free through your complacency.
I'm glad I'm old and sick and will likely not have to watch much more of this sinister hate machine which is BIG MONEY.

Military Interventions are ordered by Corporates not politicians/Governments - www.sriexpress.com
Military Interventions are ordered by Corporates not politicians/Governments
It is time the world realized that the West’s politicians are mere political stooges placed as nominees for elections by a handful of global corporates and a transnational ruling class who use them to invisibly rule the world.
It's like making a speech to an empty auditorium. Just feed 'em "Mallard Mob" and peanuts and they'll let us do whatever we want to do! They'll sit back, eat, and watch tv while occasionally glancing out the window to watch us build a prison fence around them. What tools! Still not sure why we don't just kill them all."Corporations have taken over the government and turned it against its own people."

Pastor Tries to Walk on Water Like Jesus, Then Drowns in Front of His Congregation
I am absolutely certain that incidents like this are under reported. And "faith" like this is... dangerous, at best.
I am a bit reluctant to chide people who "believe" in non-sense such as this. However, I think I'd rather watch someone drink their self to death than die of absolute insanity. Both conditions are unnecessary and treatable, but I can understand the drinking a little better. At least a drunk will know - perhaps deep down inside, but they know - that they are drinking to ease the pain of living. But the faithful don't even realize that they are hurting, will probably kill their selves with their "faith", or possibly kill someone else - or inspire others to hurt or kill their selves - with their irrational belief.

Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation that he was capable of reenacting the very miracles of Jesus Christ. He decided to make it clear through way of demonstration on Gabon’s beach in the capital city of Libreville.
Referencing Matthew 14:22-33, Kabele said that he received a revelation which told him that with enough faith he could achieve what Jesus was able to.
According to an eyewitness, Kabele took his congregation out to the beach. He told them that he would cross the Kombo estuary by foot, which is normally a 20 minute boat ride.
Sadly by the second step into the water Kabele found himself completely submerged. He never returned.

At Ibadon zoo in south-west Nigeria, a self-proclaimed Prophet claimed to be able to do what the Daniel of the bible did by walking into a den full of lions.
Though he was warned numerous times by zoo keepers, according to NG Newspapers, the Prophet thought of them as nothing more than enemies of progress. The Prophet, with a crowd of people watching, put on a long red robe and proceeded to enter the cage full of lions.
Within seconds of opening the door, the lions ripped the Prophet from flesh to bone. The bible should come with a warning label, “Don’t try this at home.”

Duck Dynasty: I REALLY need to pick my friends and relatives better
I shared a story from a local television station about the Duck Dynasty Debacle the day after it happened. And this is what followed:
Dumbass Relative: I READ THE BIBLE AN IT SAYS ,GOD CREATED ADAM AN EVE, AN NOT ADAM AN STEVE. THE DEVIL IS GOTTEN PRAYERS OUT OF SCHOOLS NOW THEY WANT US CHRISTIANS TO ACCEPT HOMOSEXUALS AS EQUALS. I PRAY THAT THEY CLEAN THIER LIVES UP AN GET SAVED AN KNOW GOD LOVES THEM AN NOT THIER LIFE STYLE. LIFE STYLE CAN AN WILL TAKE YOU TO HELLOh, I KNOW you didn't just come spray ignorant graffiti all over MY wall! So, here comes the obligatory rant:
Me: I read the Bible, too. And JESUS said: Matthew 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ...For fucks sake!
But homosexuality aside, in my humble opinion, Duck Dynasty has got to be one of the most BRAIN DEAD and silly programs I have ever watched and can't for the life of me understand why anyone watches it in the first place. But, hey, each to his own... just like homosexuality, we all must answer for our actions, be they fruitful or fruitless... or just plain fruit cake.
The Bible also says: "Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." To me, this says to set the example, not point the finger, for judgement is for God and God alone. And we could quote scripture all day long for we both have our opinions which one scripture or another would support AND refute. My only point in sharing this story is that this VERY WEALTHY ... person ... who is a shining example to millions of people, for whatever reason which escapes me, has been censured for "throwing the first stone" and being intolerant of people who he should actually be demonstrating compassion for. He set a bad example to his ... er, followers? The Devil didn't get prayer out of school, either. That was The Constitution. Schools are state institutions supported by tax dollars paid by people of all faiths. Imagine yourself in a predominantly Muslim country having your children in THEIR schools being forced to practice their religious observations. (And, just for the record, they pray to the same God Abraham prayed to.) Public schools are for everyone. If you are offended by your child not being taught to practice Christianity you might should consider sending them to a private school... or Sunday School.
And Phil Robertson suggesting that being an ignorant redneck is somehow cool is what offends me. I applaud A&E for making a stand. The "redneck" philosophy of "kill em all and let God sort em out" is, well, it's a bad example and it's about time that a network that calls itself Arts and Entertainment, yet promotes ignorant bigotry, take a stand on the moral high ground. Jesus wants EVERYONE to come to him, even with all their sins... just like the woman at the well. And intolerant people who call themselves Christian are the one's who need forgiveness, in my opinion. But it is NOT MY PLACE to judge THEM (you), either. However, I think if I pray for you that Jesus will listen.
And if you think that ANYONE is not your equal, you have missed the whole point of why Jesus Christ came to us and are as the Pharisees he condemned. Perhaps you should go read the Bible again, the whole thing, and work on that "beam in thine own eye".
How Your Local News Is Made. (Very Disconcerting Video)
Your local news people are just actors reading scripts. Other than a few local stories, the news fed to us mostly comes from the same place, press releases, and stock stories from the AP wire. Very little of what you see is original. It is all cookie cutter and then spooned to you in your local flavor.
All these clips are from the Conan O'Brian show.

WATCH on Live: Alan Grayson SILENCED After Comparing Republicans To Dog ...
Damn, the truth hurts so good! And the fascists are so concerned with Phil Robertson's First Amendment Right to Free Speech! I guess the argument could be made by comparison- Duck Quacker: Gay = bestiality > House Republicans = Cockroaches. However, one of these statements is true and the other is not. Gay's do NOT equal bestiality.
Take it from here, Representative Grayson!

Police unlawful harassment and racial profiling 9/27/13 Philly,Pa
The reason the masses distrust and loathe "law enforcement" is no great mystery. Those with badges and guns truly believe that they are above the law and that no one else has any rights at all!
