Under God

I just saw O’Riley interview the atheist guy who brought the pledge, and it seems like every atheist spokesperson I see on TV is really nervous looking and fast talking. But, you have to be pretty messed up to be an atheist. That’s an irrational faith (because you can’t prove it) in that there is no God and that no matter what life you live you are doomed to eternal nothingness. Why would you choose to have a faith like that (and it has to be a choice, because you can’t be inspired to that view unless there’s an atheist god to inspire you, which doesn’t make any sense)? Anyway, I just hate this argument that the government taking a position that there is a God is forcing the view on everyone. The government also takes the position that racism is wrong and that the earth is round, but people in the U.S. are still allowed to have racist beliefs and belive the world is flat. And, just like the atheist, they’re dumbasses.

Barbara’s Got a Gun

I was for arming pilots as soon as I heard about it, but now that Sen. Barbara Boxer is for it, I wonder if it’s some sort of trick. Think! Think! Can arming pilots be used for evil instead of good…

Taiwan Stands Alone

I was looking through the CIA World Factbook, laughing at how pathetic all other countries are compared to the U.S., and I noticed something odd. The first entry under ‘T’ is “Taiwan entry follows Zimbabwe”. You scroll down, and there sits the link for Taiwan all alone, outside of the alphabetical listing. I thought at first maybe this is because Taiwan was the only “non-country” on the listing, but their were other listing within the alphabetical lists that weren’t really countries like Hong Kong, the World, and France. It just seemed odd that Taiwan was singled out from everyone else like that. Maybe its just to make sure China doesn’t think we believe Taiwan to be separate country, but maybe I’m just reading too much into this.

Brave Stance

Amensty International finally came out today against Palestian murder-suicide bombings (that’s what I call ’em). Is there actually some universe where these people have credibility. I guess they were too busy complaining about child murderers being excuted in the U.S. to complain about the children being murdered. Support for the bombings remains nearly 70% in Palestine. I don’t even care what Israel is doing to them; if these people don’t understand that it is wrong to target and blow up a nine-year-old girl, then they aren’t being oppressed enough in my book. Obviously, they can’t be reasoned with like adults, so I say Israel should treat them like children. They should force all the Palestians to sit in the corner for a couple hours thinking about why what they have been supporting is wrong. After that, they must all write one hundred word essays on why murder is bad. All answers will then be graded on a bell curve. The top five percent of scorers will be leaders of the new goverment, the middle ninety percent will be set back to their business, and the bottom five percent immediately executed. Finally, in celebration of the new government, Arafat will be shot out of a cannon.

Flight School

I’m in Florida and I’ve just started seeing ads for flying lesson on TV which I hadn’t seen before. I hope its a sting operation.
