dont worry, there is no chance me trolling on free thought blogs. its nothing to do with whether any one was banned from a site. I dont care about that. There is something rotten with the whole bunch of them. If you want to pick sides - good for you

We dont like to talk about the War of Independence. Not because we care about losing a colony, but because we lost to the French

I care because it is indicative of the mindset of those putting themselves up as the voice of freethought. If pz and Tf are no longer on good terms, simply because of a disagreement - that speaks volumes. I couldnt care less about thunderfoot, but the whole free thought blog movement stuff is...

Yes they were friends - The question is, are they still?

Im not shifting responsibilities, I just fail to see that it says anything in particular about any religion, or that your link to the Atheist convention has anything to say about people of no religion.

perhaps there is a difference between a gathering for a conference and a street festival? This is just an example of a bunch of tossers trying their very best to antagonize another group of people - it could have been about any number of causes or principles, or even about what soccer team you...

which is what you should have done when you dedicated a two hour show to him and hovind - which was not your finest hour

Frankly, the whole TAM shambles is a consequence of bloggers minor fame gone to their heads IMO. FtB my backside. Rational people do not argue their personal disagreements through blog posts. Rational people do not throw their toys out of the pram when they have a personal disagreement.

I dont think they hate denmark (your not the only ones), but i did hear there are some legal issues that need to be resolved. Does that mean you do not have ability to start and broadcast hangouts? I got the impression you can still take part in other peoples

Just recently both PZ myers and The Non Prophets have started doing their Podcasts using Google+ hangouts. Anyone with desires to put out content really should look at using google+. Generally Im not one for social networks - but google is stuffed with great science hangouts, and now people are...

"Things are really difficult to predict, especially the future." I can envision ways this may come about, in hundreds years time scales. If the singularity crowd are right, combine that with effects of global warming, some kind of AI global administration could be possible. Peoples ideology...

i think that would have been Fraser Cains hangout with Phil right? i watched that too, was good fun. Fraser does lots of great stuff over on google+. Its the only social media site i use because there are so many space casts going on there. Next big event... CURIOSITY landing. seriously biting...

I dont think anyone with any moral fibre with argue against your principles on that. I just dont think a military wing of the UN would be a good thing even if it were feasible. Often the nationalities of the troops is an important factor in facilitating a peace keeping force in a particular...

it does that through the security council, which of course is made up of member states, 5 of which have the power of veto. Do you think if you took the power of veto away, the US, or china, or russia would remain members? The moment you try to give the UN powers over the military of its member...

so far as i thought, UN peacekeeping forces require a treaty between factions, or to be otherwise invited by a nation to keep the peace. It seems very different from military intervention.
