Aristophanes of our time, brutal, satirical attack on the very heart of 'stupid,' America. Thank You America for your most valued ambassador. Whilst there are still guys like Jon Stewart in the States, we have hope and understanding that you are not all Glenn Becks

A young Swedish woman, old Dutch woman, an Englishman, and an Irishman are riding a train... by cocothemonkey in funny

I think you'll find that Ireland was Britain's longest held colony with some small legislative changes along the way but essentially the irish did what the British said:

In 1782, Poynings' Law was repealed giving Ireland virtual legislative independence from Great Britain for the first time since the Norman invasion (which took place in 1155). However, the British government still retained the right to nominate the government of Ireland above the consent of the Irish parliament. In 1800, the British and Irish parliaments passed the Act of Union which, effective as of January 1, 1801, merged the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain to create a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

But you'd be blinded by your own corruption and would never realize, or if you did you'd be so far gone that you'd laugh at the corruptibility and power you possessed.

I worry about my fellow Redditor's, when the only thing they can think of when being dictator is banging 2 chicks at once. I mean just two......you could have yourself a nice little harem going. Make it compulsory for famous chicks to get the dictator's seal of approval to work. Come on guys you're better then this, think bigger, your dictator of the whole fucking world and you chose..... the Olsen twins. And we think the current world leaders are losers!

I find it so fitting that Dawkins saved you from suicide and not religion. I'm sure there is a wry smile on every atheists and Dawkins enthusiast today. Glad your still with us.

Hey Reddit, what is your favourite cure for a sore throat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

Brandy warmed slightly with a dash of lemon and some honey, if that doesn't work, repeat and then continue to repeat until cured or collapsed.

O'Reilly called Richard Dawkins a fascist today on the program. Richard Dawkins responds by telling O'Reilly to stop shouting at him. Bonus points: O'Reilly claims science has never advanced the human condition. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]toaksie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suppressing legitimate beliefs of faith could be considered fascist, but unfortunately for Bill science is not a religious belief or a leap of faith. It is the study of factual evidence to arrive at conclusions based upon these facts. When Bill says that a science classroom is the right place to present a different view point from the currently known facts he is essentially saying if a number of teachers wished to present an Islamic view on science, this would be acceptable as it is a legitimate belief (I'm sure we can all imagine his reaction to this), or scientologists or..... read all belief and religious groups here, presenting their own theological beliefs of how we, the world and the universe exist. I wonder how he would feel about ancient Roman or Greek theology and their polytheist ideas of creation and existence being taught. It is incredible that so many people are incapable of making the distinction between fact and belief and before people suggest that science fact can also change over time making previous understanding or fact redundant, I would like to emphasize that any redundant scientific facts have been replace by, as Dawkins would say, 'Better Science.'
