What a bittersweet story, Louis. My heart is aching for the dying animal and yet it aches more for you for your anguish and kindness. We are all more alike than we are different, whether human or canine.

Comment on I do not support our troops by Will S.

“Support the troops”, a meaningless slogan designed to stifle dissent, to force everyone to get in line and approve the war, whether or not they do.

The thing is, Dawkins isn’t actually “strident”. He’s unfailingly polite, and an excellent and erudite writer. Hitchens, yes. Hitchens is blisteringly rude. And brilliant.

Support the troops: Bring them home!

Our army (Ireland) is mainly deployed in UN-supported peacekeeping missions in the Lebanon and similar areas.

Comment on The lost art of argument by Timothy (TRiG)

Timothy (TRiG) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:19:35 +0000

Pharyngula and Greta Christina’s blog talk about the importance of argument from time to time. They both maintain that this placing of religion in a realm where it cannot be criticised is simply a “get out of jail free card”. Religious arguments cannot stand on their own two feet, so they get put into a special box where they don’t have to.

In fact, it’s not just religion. The vaccine-deniers do something similar. (To be fair, the global-warming deniers don’t: they’re more than happy to debate.)

I would not want to send our troops! But they’re there, and we need to support them! Every province and every town has lost someone, we need to support them. Unfortunatly some kids don’t do good in school and tgis is the only job they can get, sign up for the military and make crappy money! Atleast they’re working, but shit , at what cost!

I wish Conservatives in the U.S. felt a backlash when they cut Arts funding.
