Ooops, wrong thread.
I can't deal with the religious right now.
And I mean that as "right now."
This thread belongs to Vicki since she actually listens to this horrid Beck person. Fortunately, I never have and hope I never do.
I truly wanna know how Glenn Beck sold his show to HNN?
It's awful.
Well, we were having a debate as to how one defines themselves as "true Christians", but there is little doubt as to how we should define someone as a "dangerous racist wingnut pigfucker".
Yes, I do listen to him.
I do it to hear things like, "The founding fathers were inspired by the Bible when they wrote this most awesome document, the Constitution."

There is a church here in Tirol which was built on the alleged spot where a xian tot was abducted and murdered by itinerant jews.It's been officially debunked but the kid ("Anderl of Rinn" has already been beatified by the catholic church, and has "followers". Creepy.
what about the am loons --everything they say is thru the eyes of the entitled white people of the upper classes--
Beck's got two good brain cells and a microphone. Two good brain cells and a microphone.
more from the same episode:
"Say what you will about religious tolerance, but anybody that tells me I can't have pumpkin pie and a drumstick, you're an extremist."
so apparently all jews are extremists. they won't let poor glenn enjoy his christmas ham.
As repellent as most of Glenn Beck's opinions are, I'm even more offended by his smarmy delivery and obnoxious personality.
Call me shallow.
But he got that combination goofy stupidity and vicious hate I want in my news anchors.

Repost for CoT:
Ok, you have a hypothetical Hindu who says "I am a Christian," and you respond, "you can't be, because all Christian denominations say you have to accept this creed, and you don't", and the dude says, "well how do you know those are Christian denominations and mine is not," and you say, "because they are in the club and you're not," and he says "well how do I get to be in the club" and you say "you have to be a real Christian."

OK, thanks.
We're talking about different things. Anyone can, of course, label him/herself "a Christian," no matter what he/she actually believes.
Which, since people with widely divergent beliefs call themselves Christians, creates an identity problem.
GWPDA's post above says it well - how do Christians recognize each other, by the label or the beliefs?
The formal, official answer to that question is, "by the beliefs."
This isn't actually a new conversation - the purpose of the Council of Nicaea was to "define" Christianity, and what writings were "good" versus "bad."
It came up with the Bible, and the Nicene Creed. Protestants wrote the Apostle's Creed, and there are variations between them, but there are a lot of commonalities.
I am a Christian, but I don't believe in Christ or the Holy Spirit or any of that crap.

My dear, this is far from the most basic tenet - rather it is the origin of the Protestant Christian tenets of faith.
GWPDA, yclept Irate Historian | Homepage | 10.06.07 - 11:41 am | #
As an outsider, I can't see that there is a basic tenet of faith in Christianity - certainly, there exist or have existed self-identifying Christian sects with precepts ranging from the revolutionary communism of Thomas Munzer to the right wing lunacy of Opus-Dei which have tried very hard to exterminate each other.
Religious doctrines are coherent and harmonious wholes only to the believers.

Maybe it's been said before, but you know what is so ironic about Ann Coulter's statement, which follows, on women not being able to vote?
If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.
It's that she violated Florida law in 2006 by voting at the wrong precinct.
Now, who's stupid?
There is a church here in Tirol which was built on the alleged spot where a xian tot was abducted and murdered by itinerant jews.
There's no such thing as a Christian child, or a Muslim child, just children whose parents haven't figured out they're gonna make up their own minds what they believe, eventually.

Bernard Goldberg: "[W]omen and minorities" have "pushed the newsroom further and further to the left"
Summary: On The O'Reilly Factor, discussing what Bill O'Reilly perceived as the waning influence of "major elite media institutions," Bernard Goldberg asserted: "[W]hen women and minorities came into journalism, they pushed the newsroom further and further to the left. Everybody agrees that minorities are overwhelmingly liberal in this country, and so are young women." Goldberg later stated: "[T]he point I was trying to make ... is that this problem didn't start last week or the week before. Journalism has been moving further and further to the left. It's a good thing that we have women and minorities in the newsroom. That's the good part. The bad part is that by moving further and further to the left, they've been eroding trust in journalism for a long, long time."

Back in February Glenn Beck called Olbermann an “intolerant ideologue” whose ideas “smack of the same McCarthyism [Edward R.] Murrow fought so valiantly against.”
And:
"A wolf in sheep’s clothing. The very dangerously bigoted guy who is selling himself as a pragmatic philosopher. I don’t think he sees his own bigotry. There’s something about him that suggests that, one night, he’ll say something that will cost him his career in television."

Beats me how they reckon it. I have pondered the same question myself, though, i.e. what fram of reference one can use to measure time during the emergence from the cosmic singularity. In the same vein, I have wondered how, since we are taught that below a certain radius gravity overwhelms all other forces and compresses everything to a point, did the Big Bang ever get off the ground?
Anyhow, the whole point of Tiplerism was that as the Universe recollapsed to the final singularity, relativistic time dilation and the ever-faster pace of particle interactions would produce a subjective eternity.

TEHRAN, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Iran said on Saturday it had 43 cholera cases, four times more than previously announced, and added they were mostly near Iraq where there has been an outbreak of the disease, an Iranian news agency reported.
A World Health Organisation (WHO) official said on Thursday 10 cases had been confirmed in Iran. WHO has urged neighbours of Iraq, where cholera has struck more than 3,300 people since mid-August, to strengthen their defences against the disease.
Iran shares a long border with Iraq. Many Iraqi refugees have fled to Iran to escape violence at home, while Iranian Shi'ite Muslim pilgrims often cross into Iraq to visit holy sites there.
"The total number of confirmed cholera cases has reached 43, most of them identified in (Iran's western) Kurdistan province among those who used to frequently cross the Iraqi border," Health Ministry official Mohsen Zahraie was quoted as saying.

Kurdish businessmen and investors have written a letter to U.S. President George Bush urging him to ask Iran to open its borders with their semi-independent enclave.
The letter, Kurdish regional government officials say, has already been delivered to Iraqi President Jalal Talabani to pass over to Bush.
Last month Iran closed its five border points with the Kurdish region in protest at the arrest of an Iranian by U.S. forces in the Kurdish city of Sulaimaniya.
The U.S. says it detained the Iranian on suspicion of smuggling sophisticated roadside bombs to rebels fighting its troops in Iraq. Kurdish, Iraqi and Iranian officials say the Iranian was on an official trade mission in the region.
The closure has led to shortages of basic stuffs in Iraqi Kurdistan and steep price hikes.

The government has earmarked $25 million for the millions of Iraqi refugees fleeing ongoing U.S. military operations and violence at home to Syria and Jordan.
$15 million will go to Syria where nearly 1.5 million Iraqis are seeking refuge. Jordan will get $8 million and Lebanon $2 million.
The exodus of Iraqis to Syria and Jordan is reported to have strapped the countries’ meager resources, strained their public utilities and caused steep prices hikes as well as shortages of some basic commodities.
The Syrian Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdullah Al-Durdi says the presence of the huge numbers of Iraqis costs his country $1.6 billion a year.
As the numbers of Iraqis fleeing their country surges, the occupying powers, mainly the U.S. and Britain, have shown no concern or moral responsibility towards their plight.

Now, his son, Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts, says God is speaking again, telling him to deny lurid allegations in a lawsuit that threatens to engulf this 44-year-old Bible Belt college in scandal.
Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.
She is accused of dropping tens of thousands of dollars on clothes, awarding nonacademic scholarships to friends of her children and sending scores of text messages on university-issued cell phones to people described in the lawsuit as "underage males."

The Syrian Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdullah Al-Durdi says the presence of the huge numbers of Iraqis costs his country $1.6 billion a year.

The whole of one of the army's most elite regiments, supported by the RAF's latest fighter bombers, is to be sent to Afghanistan in a military operation unprecedented since the second world war.
For the first time since 1945, all three regular battalions of the Parachute Regiment - about 2,000 troops - will be deployed for combat. The Eurofighter/Typhoon, equipped with new missiles for a ground attack role, will be deployed for the first time in a hostile mission.
New Merlin helicopters from an RAF squadron formed this week will also be sent to the region.
The plan, being drawn up by the chiefs of staff, reflects the government's concern over the failure to win a decisive victory against the Taliban. Tomorrow marks the sixth anniversary of the first American and British missile strikes on Afghanistan in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks on the US, yet Nato-led forces are no closer to beating the Taliban, Nato commanders believe.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown will not call a general election this autumn, his spokesman has confirmed.
Opposition leaders had challenged Mr Brown to end uncertainty over whether he would call an election after mounting speculation in recent weeks.
Recent opinion polls have suggested that Labour's lead over the Conservatives has fallen.
Speculation had been mounting that the PM would call a November election after changes to Parliamentary announcements.

A senior leader of Basque separatist group Batasuna has called the arrest of 23 key members a "declaration of war" by the Spanish government.
Pernando Barrena is the only top leader still at liberty following a police raid on a party meeting on Thursday.
Batasuna was banned in 2003 for failing to condemn violence and cut links to Eta, which has killed more than 800 people in a four-decade campaign.
Eta called off a 15-month ceasefire earlier this year.
The separatists want an independent Basque state in northern Spain and south-western France.

Maybe it's been said before, but you know what is so ironic about Ann Coulter's statement, which follows, on women not being able to vote?
If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.
It's that she violated Florida law in 2006 by voting at the wrong precinct.
Now, who's stupid?

There was renewed speculation in France yesterday over the relationship between President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, Cécilia. But the Elysée palace refused to comment on rumours that the president and his wife might announce their separation.
The president's spokesman, David Martinon, told a press briefing: "I don't comment on newsroom rumours, and certainly not that one." Asked whether Ms Sarkozy would go with her husband to Moscow next week, he said: "I don't know."
In a country where politicians' private lives were once off limits, media speculation about Ms Sarkozy's role abounded this week after she declined to accompany her husband to Bulgaria. She was to accept the country's highest medal of honour after she negotiated with Muammar Gadafy to secure the release of Bulgarian nurses imprisoned in Libya.

A record number of floods, droughts and storms around the world this year amount to a climate change "mega disaster", the United Nation's emergency relief coordinator, Sir John Holmes, has warned.
Sir John, a British diplomat who is also known as the UN's under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said dire predictions about the impact of global warming on humanity were already coming true.
"We are seeing the effects of climate change. Any year can be a freak but the pattern looks pretty clear to be honest. That's why we're trying ... to say, of course you've got to deal with mitigation of emissions, but this is here and now, this is with us already," he said.
As a measure of the worsening situation, Ocha, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs - part of the UN secretariat that employs Sir John - has issued 13 emergency "flash" appeals so far this year. The number is three more than in 2005, which held the previous record.

Hazel Blears, the communities secretary, will today announce a £50m investment to help local authorities boost integration and the creation of specialist teams to tackle tensions in communities sparked by changing patterns of migration.
The money - up from £2m this year - is to be channelled over three years to groups which promote integration, rather than towards bodies which represent a single ethnic or religious identity. The change in approach is to be accompanied by guidance to local authorities that they should only spend money on translating documents into foreign languages where necessary, and put a much greater emphasis on teaching English.

In The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, Naomi Klein argues that in the wake of natural and manmade devastation economic reform is introduced to benefit investors and free market advocates while taking advantage of moments of collective disorientation. Ms. Klein focuses her criticism on Milton Friedman and the Chicago School of Economics, and presents examples for her argument by profiling the current situations in Iraq and New Orleans. Naomi Klein is interviewed by Franklin Foer, editor of The New Republic and author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory for Globalization.

The government launched a campaign yesterday to recruit more maths and physics teachers, in an attempt to reverse the long-term decline in the subjects in schools. New teachers will be taken from a wider pool of graduates and offered re-training and financial incentives.
The announcement is part of a review of government policy in science and innovation commissioned by Gordon Brown at the beginning of the year, when he was still chancellor of the exchequer.
The review, led by former science minister Lord Sainsbury, points to a 20-year decline in the numbers of pupils taking A-level physics. "The main cause of that is the lack of qualified physics teachers," Lord Sainsbury said yesterday.

come over to my place. it's very peaceful. only about 3 comments a week.
do the 'Islamofascist' Awareness week tossers know about this - There are no nasty judges, booing crowds, tearful auditions or backstabbing. But the competition is just as tough. Eight mosques are vying to become Britain's Model Mosque 2007 in a televised competition which marries halal principles with the knock-out rules of reality TV.
The series, shown tonight on the Islam Channel, is not a beauty pageant, as aesthetics are not important. Instead, mosques are assessed on their interfaith work, women's facilities, youth services and their transparency on finances, policies and management.
Judges used these criteria to whittle the candidates down from 500 mosques to eight. The finalists hail from Bradford, Birmingham, Cricklewood, Croydon, Glasgow, Haringey, Leyton and Manchester.
(snip)
Each week a presenter grills two mosque representatives in the studio and viewers text in to keep in their favourite. The mosque with the most votes moves to the next stage. There will be a live final next month in front of the 25,000-strong Muslim crowd attending the Global Peace and Unity event at London's Excel Centre, and it will be broadcast to a potential audience of billions.

wish the government would stop doing this - Alan Johnson, the health secretary, alarmed health unions yesterday by opening up a new market for the management of NHS services worth up to £70bn.
He approved a list of 14 private companies that would be available to help primary care trusts in England evaluate the health needs of local people and buy appropriate services. If the trials succeed, the companies may influence the commissioning of services ranging from family planning to chiropody.
The firms include four big US healthcare corporations: Aetna, Humana, Health Dialog Services and UnitedHealth, the Minneapolis-based company whose European division is headed by Tony Blair's former senior health adviser.
The Department of Health said the companies would offer trusts "a bank of specialist expertise". They would be able to analyse data identifying local health problems and negotiate cost-effective contracts with NHS and private sector providers. The trusts control most of the NHS's £90bn annual budget.

The Church of England is pleading with Bafta to withdraw a best-selling video game from an awards shortlist because it uses a cathedral as a backdrop for a gunfight.
Resistance: Fall of Man, which features a shoot-out in Manchester Cathedral, is one of seven contenders for the academy's video games award. The category is the only one where the fans will decide the winner.
Yesterday the Dean of Manchester Cathedral, the Very Rev Rogers Govender, called the nomination a disgrace.
"There was disgust at the virtual desecration of Manchester Cathedral," he said. "We asked Sony to sign up to some digital guidelines, asking them to respect our sacred places of prayer ... Sony's response was very limited and other churches, cathedrals and historic buildings may be at risk of exploitation.

gotta run
peace
So JeffCo,
I should go see "Blade Runner" or I should not go see "Blade Runner?"
Why Lynn Cheney on TDS? What's she hawking?
.
that's vise, dear.
Thank you. Of course you are correct.
simels: regret.
I don't read Drum all that much, but I know people have issues with him.
Yeah, I gave up some time ago.
"The King of the Hand-Wringing Moderate Capitulators" was my pithy nickname for him.
Every couple of months, he posts something worthwhile. The rest of the time... feh!
I've heard not one good thing about Vista, except that it will encourage you to spend less time on your computer.

It came already installed on my new computer.
I haven't had a problem with it. Kind of like it, actually...
the most recent DVD I have brought is The Lives of Others

Yes, I realize Vista may suck. But I've got memory in this machine that XP can't utilize; and I'm a man.
And there's nothing that works fine that a man can't fuck up by trying to make it better.
It's what makes us men.

Well, since you insist on committing hari-kiri, I have three words for you:
Fresh. Hard. Drive.
For when you realize the error of your ways, and wish you could go back.
I'll even spot you a Fiddy.
Tweety: Shrub's biggest mistake was "Mission Accomplished."
arghhhhhhhh
It's what makes us men.
Well, try not to fall on your ass. The Road to Hell is slippery with testosterone.
Expound, please. res ipsa loquitur
That was a little blurb on The Oniona few weeks ago. As for Blade Runner, I will be picking up the 5-disc final ultimate no really this time set this Decenmber. but from what I understand, it is the "real" director's cut that is out there now in a few theaters, so by all means get in there.
...there's nothing that works fine that a man can't fuck up by trying to make it better.
Microsoft hates my guts because I made 'em fix them.

no, they expect it. they have a cost/benefit formula to decide when known bugs need to be fixed, based on severity and number of complaints.
i did some work for them once (as a vendor) and met with their head of QA. this was before the big "quality" pitch, but i don't think much has changed. one of my sw engineers pointed out a bug and they kept arguing "no, you did this ... well, it only works with certified software [he was using ms offic] ... er, um, OK DAMNIT! IT'S A BUG! we took it upstairs and they said that no one would notice because no one uses that feature."
if it doesn't prevent future sales, it isn't a bug.
It's what makes us men.
Jesus, I know this is a stereotype, but it's so fucking true.
If you've NEVER seen it, by all means go - Sean Young never looked better, Harrison Ford was in his prime, and Darryl Hannah does freaky gymnastics with bad hair.

Well, for select subversives, it comes pre-NSA optimized.

I have yet to watch it
my own rule is "never upgrade unless absolutely necessary."
i avoid a lot of problems that way.
I had a colleague come up to me last year and ask if I had an Apple IIe. He had some software for a class that would ony run on it.

We just view risk and experimentation differently than y'all, thassall.
Anybody seen "Hot Fuzz"?
Flint, unemployed
with very low expectations, and it is EXCELLENT.
dirk's seal of approval. arf arf.
Does Stewart have the balls to drag that old lesbian potboiler of hers out of mothballs?
dave
When Wolfie did she flat out denied there was any lesbian sex in the book. But, but, Wolfie said, I have it bookmarked, right here on page whatever. Nope, she said it's not there. He opened the book to the appropriate page and showed it to her. Nope, she said, not there, next question.
It was fucking surreal.
o by all means get in there.
It's also playing in the only big, bad-ass old school movie palace-type place left in NYC. HUGE orchestra section (two aisles, side sections, huge middle section), and then mezzanine (same configuration). Sloping floor. 70MM. Good sound. Although the seats are nothing to write home about.
...Sean Young never looked better, Harrison Ford was in his prime, and Darryl Hannah does freaky gymnastics with bad hair.
And look for the special appearance by a certain iconoclast from Vermont with two brothers who have the same first name...
Why Lynn Cheney on TDS? What's she hawking?
I'm betting her fifteenth version of her book about how we have to teach the history of America as an infallible march of goodiness and libertitude, with happy slaves singing spirituals and Indians helping settlers and working classes exchanging ethnic recipes over the picturesque clotheslines of tenement buildings

Does anything even run a 5 1/4" floppy anymore?
I've watched Blade Runner: Directors Cut, an interesting movie but I couldn't really warm to it
left me quite cold actually

Well, admittedly, there aren't any strap-ons featured, ergo...

i've got one. it still works - dual drives, 80 column ...
but i think there are linux emulators for the iie if he really wants to run "chopper" or "ultima I"

That's too bad.
That was the best movie I've seen in years. Hand's down. Absolutely loved it.
Sheets, I think is the term.

Pickles & Condi from what I hear.
Remember the aphorism, "if it bleeds, it leads?"
CNN's operating under the aphorism, "if it hates, it rates."
Except in Beck's case, it doesn't. Unless the "ratings" that matter are in the CNN Boardroom.
Corrupt thread above.

I've got one in the basement.
It might be a ][+, now that I think of it...

Harrison Ford was in his prime,
I caught a few minutes of "Working Girl" on AMC (I think) last night. Harrison Ford was pretty good at comedy. What a great movie that was.
HUGE orchestra section (two aisles, side sections, huge middle section), and then mezzanine (same configuration). Sloping floor. 70MM.
Denver has one of those - when they did the Star Wars re-release I went to see it there.
I totally lurv BR. I even still listen to the Vangelis soundtrack.
i also have watched The Wind That Shakes the Barley, took me awhile to work out what they were saying!
but also interesting, about the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent civil war
complicated Irish politics!
By all means , see "Blade Runner".
And I was referencing "Hot Fuzz" for a best mosque, best village comparison.
Harrison Ford was pretty good at comedy. What a great movie that was.
res ipsa loquitur
He is a pretty funny guy. Makes a great interview.
It came already installed on my new computer.
that's a perfectly valid reason.
I haven't had a problem with it. Kind of like it, actually...
compared to?
BTW, res, it's only playing at ONE other theater in the country - in LA.
For all things obsessively Blade Runner, go here.
What a great movie that was.
That is one of my lovely wife's favorite movies.
...res, it's only playing at ONE other theater in the country - in LA.
Is it that Cinerama place?
"Blade Runner" is playing in 70MM at the Ziggy. I have never seen it. Think I'm gonna go ... res ipsa loquitur
I would be up for that. How long is it playing there?

That's one of those movies I get hooked into every time it's on ... I can't help it ... Joan Cusack was hilarious ("Coffee? Tea? Me?"), Alec Baldwin was gorgeous (even in that hideous blue tux) ...
Even if one has a specific priority requirement for Vista, one should run the numbers on finding a cheap Vista box for that requirement vs the cost of days in hell spent losing functionality.

Terrorist is the new nigger
Last year I blocked CNN, MSNBC and Fox News from my TV.
Life is much less neurotic. I get the actual news from plenty of other sources but I no longer get incited to insanity listening to these inane assholes who should all be under lock and key themselves.
