So was it bad religious beliefs or bad economics beliefs (i.e. Communism) that led to more people being murdered last century?
If all the major news anchors are known liars, I think that will actually make us smarter about news consumption.
A lot of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s twitter feed just reads like a dumb guy trying to sound smart.
Wow. Some people get mad if you criticize Neil deGrasse Tyson. Aren’t there more worthy scientists to mindlessly leap to the defense of?
I honestly understand more why I’ve heard of Lena Dunham than why I’ve heard of Neil deGrasse Tyson.
All I know about Tyson is he has some sort of relation to science. Or to Science!
Tyson seems to have a following among not very bright people who are quite enthusiastic about what they imagine science is.
None of this is to claim Tyson isn’t smart or that he isn’t really good at… whatever it is he does.
I’m pretty comfortable with the fact that when someone is talking about violent Christians, they’re usually talking about 1000 years ago.
Today is casting for a script I helped write. That is going to be a brand new experience.
I’m okay with how I’m the one who handles the trash cans every week because then I get to growl, “Time to take out the trash.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson is just trying to emulate Bill Nye. I suspect however, that both of them are insanely jealous of the fame and notoriety of Bob Newhart as Professor Proton. There’s the guy that has my respect.
NBC News (aka, “Whose News Is It Anyway?”):
“Where everything is made up and the facts don’t matter.”
I suppose “time to make the doughnuts” wouldn’t make much sense would it?
In order to keep the murder rate down this century perhaps we should stop trusting any political or religious philosophy that ends in the suffix ‘ism.’
I don’t know. Capitalism seems pretty ok to me. Where can I get more information on that?
The Crusades were purely a defensive war to stop Muslim aggression and protect Christians.
Religious Fundamentalists terrify me. I haven’t had a decent nights sleep since I first heard of the Amish Beard Shearers.
Brian Williams has a professional, modulated voice. He may be available soon to do voices on Frank’s audio books for a reasonable price.
On the other hand, Neil d-G Tyson has just announced that the science is settled on the Brian Williams helicopter incident, and it definitely happened.
Re: Crusades
Murderer’s defense attorney: “Sure, he did it, but may I remind the Court of the Salem Witch Trials?”
Judge Obama: “You’re right. We must remember that. We have no moral standing to try this man. Case dismissed.”
@5 – It’ll cost ya.
Bad economic beliefs have become a religion.
More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined.
