"I wish I were a lesbian." "I would like you to unhook your bra and let it slide down your arms. You can keep your shirt on." - Bill O'Reilly Sauce (with audio clips): http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2009/03/off_with_those.php

Well, it was the anti-gay side. You should expect some homophobia from them. Besides, there was one female pastor, Leena Huovinen, who was for equal rights. This shows the number of people resigning from the church on each day this month. Source...

Person X wins the lottery. Which is the better explanation: he has psychic abilities or it was chance? "If psychic abilities is the alternative to chance, then it's an infinitely better explanation, since psychics don't need to work with odds of pure random chance, but with their magical...

I would like you to specify what you mean by a "better" explanation. I can offer my definition. We are trying to explain event E. We have two mutually exclusive explanations A and B. The probability of E, given that A is true, is P(E|A). The probability of E, given that B is true, is P(E|B)...

Here's one. In the bank there were the bank manager, the assistant manager and four supervisors. The bank vault had several locks. For each lock there was one or more keys, but each key could only open one lock. The bank manager had complete access to the vault. If he wasn't present, the...

The answer is 2 meters. The logs move 1 meter relative to the ground, and the block moves 1 meter relative to the logs.

Since the bench press world record is currently about 1000 pounds, I can be almost certain that you don't have a (human) friend who's able bench-press 6 times more. This is evidence against the existence of Mark. You might, of course, still have a friend called Mark who has all the other...

Gods that people make claims about (most of the gods of religions) I can actually have good reasons to actively disbelieve, not simply lack a belief. For example, if you claim that your god created the Earth 6000 years ago, based on all the scientific evidence I can say he almost certainly does...

What do you mean by a "mind virus"? To determine if religion or atheism is a mind virus, you must first define it. The way I try to avoid wrong or delusional beliefs is to ask myself: "do I have good reasons to believe this?". When it comes to a belief in a god (theistic or deistic), the answer...

No, the profit is still $2. Only the change of price is $3. Asking "how much profit did he make?" is the same as asking "how much money extra money did he have in the end?". The answer is $2, and there's no other way of looking at it. Unless you can make even more profit on it.

No, the answer is $2. It's very simple arithmetics. The money the dealer gives away: 7 + 9 = 16 The money the dealer receives: 8 + 10 = 18 18 - 16 = 2

Got a new laptop yesterday! [

Now you are simply moving the goal post, thus refuting your original analogy. But even if we ignore that, the comparison isn't any better. The color of your skin is a physical charasteristic. Islam is a religion/ideology/world view. Can you spot difference?

I'm not saying that I agree with TF or Condell, but that is not a fair comparison. Islam isn't an ethnic group, it's a religion, a potentially dangerous ideology.

Don't feed the troll.

"We can't explain X therefore there must be some natural mechanism behind" is a fallacy, and I would never use it in a debate. But you could make the inductive argument: "every 'mystery' that has been solved turned out to have a natural explanation, therefore, it's likely that X will also have a...

Well, this Sunday c0nc0rdance will be on the panel, and he has made many videos about alternative medicine, AIDS denialists etc. Hopefully they will talk about those things. It would also be a good idea to get greenman3610 as a guest panelist some time, to talk about the so called global...
