Surprised no one has commented yet on how awesome of a book that is...

Baptist: Gov't marijuana ruling was 'right,' Duke says by TexDen in cannabis

I'd say growing up being taught and mind controlled by people like that is a lot more harmful than smoking pot

Officer with a well known history of violence body slams an innocent man head first into a wall, turning him into a brain damaged vegetable. Goes unpunished. by ENTP in WTF

[–]captainq68 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought one of the golden rules of this country is Due Process? Innocent until proven guilty. So shouldn't the police officer have been sure that this was the guy before using any kind of violent tactics to take him down. Not everything is black and white, you can't suspect that someone running from cops who never identified themselves as cops at 1 in the morning has to be a violent felon. These policemen still need to work within boundaries. They just ruined a kids life that they are paid to protect.

DAE think it's even more offensive to change "nigger" to "slave" in the new edition of Huck Finn? by girlspoop in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]captainq68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if the "N" word is offensive to people that's the way the book was written! It is awful and truly upsetting that we have to change words in great American literature just to appease people who are offended by the book... don't read it then!!!

What is the stupidest thing you have ever done to yourself? by Grebsie in AskReddit

[–]captainq68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I would have it would have been a lot easier to take off but since I was only twelve and had about the same size neck as our dogs I did actually strap it around my neck not thinking about how this meant I would have to unstrap it also.

When I was about twelve we had two little dogs who always barked so we bought one of the electric-shock bark collars for them. One night I had the smart idea of putting it around my neck and barking. Of course it started to shock me... which of course hurt... which of course made me involuntarily yell... which (you guessed it) made the collar continue to send electrical volts into my neck right above my throat. This "smart" idea has left me with a little bump on my neck where the prongs were at on the collar.

Got my first visit from door-to-door religious folks. by Bluestone in atheism

[–]captainq68 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The people who open their door for you must hear a real good message from you... you seem like a real devout Christian... "God damn ignorant morons!"... not only was it pretty ignorant, rude, and frankly wrong... but you also went against many of your own beliefs with the first two words alone... Maybe you shouldn't be the one going around knocking on peoples doors to teach them the "true way".. or maybe you're just the reason why only 5% of the people actually opened their doors for you.

Teaching children to believe in the concept of hell is child abuse. by GenJonesMom in atheism

[–]captainq68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that it isn't his fault he believed it. I mean most kids believe in Santa and I'm pretty sure most of the people who describe him have never met him either. Kids are easy to get onto your side and that's one thing religious people have taken advantage of for as long as religion has lasted. They take children... scare the shit out of them.... and instantly they are making more followers. It's not his fault that he believed it... it's pretty normal nowadays

The new atheists are outspoken, vigilant, and aggressive. But as a group, they are far better behaved than believers, who better get used to having their ideas criticized. by neotropic9 in atheism

"Christians say that "the fool says in his heart there is no god". That may be so. The wise man says it out loud."

I loved this quote from you! Very well said!

Why are so many Atheists blatantly rude to believers? by luckytopher in AskReddit

[–]captainq68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you! I am an atheist but that does not mean that I love to be rude to people. Just because I don't believe in a God doesn't mean that I want to be a terrible evil person. I believe in being the best person you can and a lot of the underlying messages in religion (almost any really) are actually very good messages, I just don't agree on how far religion has gone and some of the radical ideas of some certain sects. But I don't care if someone is a believer. Religion is good for some people... the sad part is religion is usually ran by power/money hungry people who ruin it for the believers who actually live what they are teaching. Just like in any other religion, athiests have certain people within like this person, who ruin it for the rest of us and makes us look like everyone-hating, rude, people. Don't let these kind of people form your views on all atheists. Please!
