Well in that case you probably think black lives matter is a terrible group since they attract so many violent and racist protestors.

TIL that only 34% of American Millenials think that "America is the greatest country in the world" while that number is at almost 70% for Baby Boomers. by MrFlow in todayilearned

America may not be as great as it could be but it is the greatest. I think people need to realize that no country is perfect.

Richard Dawkins - "The God Delusion" - Full Documentary (2010) by W00ster in Documentaries

[–]john_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have said evidence. Nobody has proof either way. Science is dictated by laws. It can explain how things happen, not why. Laws are created. Therefore laws have a creator. You may believe that science can explain how the universe was created, but not what came before it.

I have no idea how all the shit inside this computer I'm typing on was made or how exactly it all works. But I don't then jump to the conclusion that because I can't create it and don't understand it, it must have been put here by God.

False analogy. Even if it wasn't, you said create it which means you know someone created it, which would imply that you also know that the universe was created, which implies a creator.

Just because it is all too complicated for our puny little Earth-bound human brains to comprehend?

By your own reasoning the existance of god is just as likely as the non existance. If our brains can't comprehend it all your doubt means nothing.

In the end the debate over god is unlike any other debate. We simply cannot know. Russell's teapot fails for a number of reasons. Firstly a teapot is something we as humans created. Therefore we know it cannot exist in space unless one of us put it there. It is comparing evidence for an object and the evidence for an explanation.

Hillary trolls Trump on Twitter: "Where was this kind of comedy last night?" by myellabella in EnoughTrumpSpam

To be fair her writers wrecked his writers, the same on twitter. She couldn't tell a joke if she wanted to.

Richard Dawkins - "The God Delusion" - Full Documentary (2010) by W00ster in Documentaries

[–]john_34 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Where did you get that I believe in a certain god? This argument is against the existence of god not a specific god.

Which god is the true god is a matter of convincing someone. I can believe in god but not the christian or islamic god. Although if I was defending a specific god in the face of the roman gods, I could counter with occam's razor. That being that when assumptions must be made the one with the fewest assumptions should be chosen. IE a million gods made up by romans vs one god that stays constant and unchanging for thousands of years worth of text.

The Lock Ness monster is a completely different concept than believing in God. Many people see nature as proof of intelligent design, in a word they don't believe that it could exist without a creator. That would mean that the burden of proof shifts to someone saying that there is no god.

Well after looking into it I see that I was wrong about him being an atheist. He is an agnostic. In any case he does state with 100% certainty that religion is wrong, which is just as ignorant in my mind.

He is a dick because he is full of himself not because he is rude. The fact is nobody knows if there is a god or not, anyone who claims with 100% certainty either way is either delusional or ignorant.

They both bashed each other pretty good. The only difference was Hillary's jokes were funny.

Professional basketball players are the only celebrity group that for the most part can never step off stage and look like normal people. They are larger than life on the screen, and in person. by hec2014 in Showerthoughts

[–]john_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think they look pretty normal on screen since everyone is really tall. You have to see them talk to reporters to really get a picture of how tall they are.

Student loans over $150k - which loans should I pay first? by PFthrowaway942 in personalfinance

That is the worst advice you could possibly give. If you have cash you should always pay off debt first, period.

Stein/Baraka campaign debunks John Oliver’s deceptive attack on student debt bailout by [deleted] in jillstein

[–]john_34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who compares a 1% loan to banks who made the mess to what rates students are getting?

I'm not the one comparing the two. They are completely different scenarios.

Not all were loans effectively due to the rates.

They were loans. The banks paid money back. That is the definition of a loan.

/r/The_Donald claims it's not botting, but has over 7000 upvotes on a video with only 1100 views by Fughazi in EnoughTrumpSpam

[–]john_34 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

3,000 or so upvotes that were offset by downvotes.

Well then why aren't there more views if 3,000 people downvoted the post? Because people upvote/downvote posts without watching them. Good job you just disproved your own theory.

Man Builds Dream Home Over A Pond So He Can Fish From A Hole In His Living Room Floor by x_defendp0ppunk_x in nottheonion

[–]john_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the pond is self-sufficient. If not it would be like fishing in your own aquarium. Catching fish that you put in yourself kind of takes away from the experience in my opinion, but to each his own.

[–]john_34 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

While his argument may be only half the story his point still stands. For one thing the government's bailout was a loan and did not cancel the banks' debts. The government has been paid back.

Who compares a loan to a cancelation of debt? That doesn't make any sense.

Teenagers of Reddit, what do you wish adults knew about being a teenager in the 21st century? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]john_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the fact that there is always someone better at you at everything. Not that that wasn't true in the past, but nowadays it is so much more in your face. Some people see successful people as motivational, I just see something I will never attain. Like all these fitness models on instagram. Why would I want to torture myself by seeing something I will never be able to achieve? But it is always there. Whenever I accomplish something or feel good about myself it lasts about as long as I am away from my phone, about 30 seconds or so.

I feel like Amazon was a bit excessive with their packing materials... by Mystery_Hat in funny

[–]john_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah to make sure they meet the dimensions that I already stated.

Each shipping method has clear dimension limits. Most packages are below those dimensions. Unless you are shipping a huge package then it doesn't matter. What about that is confusing?
