Bathroom Window - A Day In the Life of A Moronic Teenage Girl
I have never honestly been more appalled by someone I have never met over the internet than this douchebag. I honestly think he picks fights with people who get attention on this site. Like god damn brother…. you don’t like her cool shit. I fucking love her. When you insult her, you insult me and god...

I like hipster lumberjacks

overdoseaddict:
Apparently. And it’s just a trend. Once the internet says so, I will magically no longer like them.
I have now been educated. I’ll go back to mindlessly falling in love with every hipster lumberjack I meet for the next 5 - 8 months or whenever the trend dies off. Then everyone will be shaving their faces again because beards are only a trend, not a personal...
I don't believe in Jesus Christ.

(via the-boy-who-blocked-his-own-shot)
Jesus was a real dude back in the day. Whether or not you believe in all his glory and the fact that he is God’s son is a different thing. But yeah, he was real.
Was he? I haven’t seen any actual historical evidence to point to the existence of Jesus as a real person.

This is so true of the Teabagger types in my neck of the woods. Everything is a contest between Real [White] Americans and both the President and African Americans in general - everything.

I have a strong dislike for the tumblrs that are dedicated to sick-looking skinny men/women.
I mean, it has nothing to do with jealousy or anything of the like.
I know I am relatively ”thin” but in my opinion, women where you can see every rib, every bone, every muscle contouring as they move, is disgusting.
Now, I...

Daija is a 13-year-old girl from the Bronx who dreams of one day being a veterinarian and has always enjoyed school. This changed on the morning of October 7, 2009, when Daija’s mother dropped her and a friend off at school. Daija and her friend were confronted by two strangers who were being rambunctious, yelling, and acting threateningly toward them. Scared and...

That’s quoted from this study on population by the Rockerfeller Commission. They lay out the numbers that prove that a decrease in unwanted children leads to a decrease in crime. They also lay out the case for abortion extremely well in the section titled “Abortion” and more specifically under the sub-heading “The Moral Question.”

Thank you to all who responded with their own bit to the Free-Thinker Salon’s first discussion topic: What type of thinker are you (atheist, agnostic, secular humanist, etc…), what does that title mean to you and how does it distinguish itself from other free-thinking philosophies?

We first noticed Marine Sgt.

Because of how many textbooks they purchase and because of their…let’s call them ‘unique’ views on what a textbook should contain, the Texas State Board of Education has the ability to dictate what is in or out of our textbooks. How do they handle that responsibility you ask? Not well;

Of course, Bill Clinton was also deeply involved in the machinations around the earlier coup that ousted Aristide in the early 1990s and led to the intervention of U.S. troops.

yeah, it’s this that makes me angry when we talk about “forgiving Haiti’s debt.” We (western nations, but especially France and the US) owe them far more than they could ever owe us.

Please reblog and place your opinion in place of mine.
I put myself firmly in the “Atheist” camp. I rarely prosthelytize or argue about it, mostly because I’m an atheist in the most strict sense of the word. That is, as long as I don’t have evidence for a diety I won’t believe in one. I think other philosophies usually offer things apart...

I absolutely love how we pretend to want to spread democracy, unless and until the people disagree with us. We murdered political activists and drove out the duly elected leader of Haiti. Again. That’s right, we’ve done this multiple times TO THE SAME COUNTRY. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the guy we threw out twice after being elected twice, now says he wants to go back to Haiti to help...
WatchI posted something about Glass Steagall earlier this year, so I’m gonna reblog it with a video;
So remember when Obama was running against McCain and it was a big deal that Phil Gramm, one of the people who pushed all that deregulation in ‘99, was on his campaign staff? Well the most blatant deregulation to help businesses at increased risks to the American economy that Gramm did was...
Clarence Thomas almost does his job →
Clarence Thomas is terrible. He’s the worst SCOTUS Judge in decades, maybe in a century. He hasn’t asked a single question in court since 2006. He made a stir recently by sending for a law book, referencing something, leaning forward…and then falling asleep.
I almost start a mini press riot today at the Supreme Court, so certain am I that Justice Clarence Thomas is about to...
