I’ve been busy, so I haven’t written in a while. I thought that I would switch things up a bit and write a few posts on economics.
I have some issues with how economics are handled by our society, particularly on the separation that exists between academic economic researchers, intelligent, resioned people who do good research [...]
Be Wary of Your Sources
Debunking a Creationist…
Well… I haven’t written in a while (I seem to be writing that alot), but research papers that are required to receive a degree take precedent… sorry.
On to the content of this post… I was tagged in a note on facebook by Christian I talked to whilst participating in an “Ask an Atheist” [...]
Our Corporatist Economy… (part 1)
It’s been a while since I’ve written here, but with, on top of normal college stresses, the GRE, LSAT and Grad School considerations, certain other things have taken priority. So, why not start with a nice philisophical piece about the economy.
Our current economic crisis is seen by some as a failure of Capitalism, but this [...]
Liberal Media?
Well… I was trolling around the internet when I came to the conclusion that the supposedly liberal media was routinely, seemingly willfully, giving John McCain a pass on his flip flops while eagerly attacking Barack Obama for his (even though a lot of them aren’t actually flip flops). So, given their tacit support [...]
Jesse Helms: Another Instance of Conservatives’ Selective Memory…
Well… Jesse Helms died earlier today… much earlier, as it was at a quarter after 1 this morning. I first heard about it on, my favorite Right-Wing Retardation blog, Blogs for Victory (which I refuse to link). I’ll admit that I didn’t know too much about Mr. Helms before today, but [...]
Christian Website Makes Idiotic Arguments “Refuting” Atheism
So… I was tag surfing today, and I found this article called Atheism: An Irrational Worldview. The gist of the argument was that Atheists only believe in material things (not necessarily true), the Laws of Logic are immaterial, therefore, Atheists can’t believe in the laws of logic without being self-contradictory. It doesn’t take a philosopher [...]
Sorry to Burst Your MacBubble…
Well… I am a PC enthusiast through and through–won’t even buy an iPod or use iTunes. In fact, I have the firm opinion that Macs are no better than PCs for general computing, something that I like to bring up with self-righteous Apple-philes, even though Apples cost much more than PCs. When arguing, they will [...]
More Reasons Why I Hate Republicans
Apparently, Henry Waxman (D-CA) has been sniffing around the Bush Administration again–this time about an Environmental Protection Agency decision to reject California’s efforts to reduce Greenhouse Emissions within its borders and override scientific recommendations pertaining to ozone standards. The involved officials suddenly forgot everything they ever did in their job… and the House promptly issued [...]
Splintering of the Base?
Reuters has an interesting piece up about young, white evangelicals–not my favorite group, but I read on. Apparently, these voters are less two-dimensional than their elders, looking beyond the issues of Abortion and Gay Marriage and looking towards issues like the War in Iraq, Global Warming and Environmental Issues, and Social Justice. These [...]
Softening the Image of Atheists
Well… I found a new facebook application complete with polls and debate… so I’ve been playing around that as well as surfing around teh interwebs looking for news stories. Well, being me, I wound up arguing about things such as Intelligent Design and religion and came to the conclusion that people don’t [...]
