BILL J HOLLOWAY commented on Juliet Defarge's blog post health insurance companies don't care who you voted for
"Juliet, I enjoyed the story about your dad's health insurance and had to laugh out loud at your PS:
The fact that you are willing to marry (not would like to meet?) a Canadian gentleman of a certain age that likes cats I hope is a joke. I…"
Juliet Defarge replied to Phers's discussion Future Energy Sources: Which Is Most Promising? in the group Atheists who love Science!
"On the TV show Planet Mechanics there was a successful electricity generator that used wave action making air go up and down within a large tube. The air movement turned a turbine which could spin in either direction, so energy was generated by both…"

"I wish I could have seen Simon Magus in his prime; from what I read, it sounds like he put on a good show. Plus, he rescued a woman from a brothel, something Jesus never did.
By the time Jesus supposedly lived, cities and states viewed religious…"

Juliet Defarge replied to Dallas the Phallus's discussion Combating the Scourge of Greenwashing in the group Environmental Atheists
"Is there a website for rating claims of greenness? We should not be shy about telling store managers if the products they offer fall short of the mark.
I read some of the Care2 materials, and I note that a lot of legitimate green science is mixed up…"
Juliet Defarge replied to Louis Davout's discussion Becoming Human -- a three-part NOVA documentary in the group Atheists who love Science!
"I look forward to watching this, and I like the way they describe the juvenile hominid as a "child" Perhaps if we routinely referred to other young apes as "children," humans would treat them better.
A big problem for theists…"

"I see they've decided to put forth their own "translation" of the Rosetta stone. Ain't nothing in the original that says it's a "great evil" to marry your sister. I do like the part that says the priests have to…"

Juliet Defarge replied to Mike Hein's discussion Genetics Quick Reference in the group Atheists who love Science!
"Thanks for the link, no doubt I will get into an argument on one of these topics! Good to have a handy reference, though most of the folks I argue with don't know an isotope from an igloo."
Juliet Defarge replied to Mike McCreary's discussion Disappearing Bats in the group Atheists who love Science!
"I was wondering what was going on with the bat disease. Good to know at least some scientists are trying to save them. I agree with the bat house idea, but the disease seems to be spread in their hibernating places, whether caves or abandoned…"
Juliet Defarge replied to It's just Matt's discussion The Yes Men Fix The World in the group Environmental Atheists
"Whatever it takes. Michael Moore can't do it all by himself. Can we get Sascha Baron Cohen in on the act, since he's already used to living one step ahead of the lynch mob?"
Juliet Defarge replied to Random Behaviorist's discussion Does Science Make Belief in God "Intensely Plausebile?" in the group Atheists who love Science!
"While I find this appointment personally distasteful, I hope the Prez gets the maximum mileage out of this guy. I'm all for getting the religious "stewardship of the Earth" folks mobilized in the Bible Belt, too."

"I might also point out that most of the people blathering about 'socialized medicine' don't actually know what Socialism is. If the Bush administration years are any indicator, they're also a little foggy on the definition of…"

Just a couple of weeks ago, my Dad went to pick up his eye drops for glaucoma, and instead of the $4. he expected, he was told the tiny bottle would cost $72. Almost 20 years ago he retired from Caterpillar Tractor Co, and thought he had health coverage for life. Nope. He's reached his lifetime max, so now all he has is Medicare, which will cover 80% of allowable cost. So, 20+ % of the next hospitalization bill will undoubtedly cost thousands of dollars.

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… - Greetings, Juliet! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

Do join groups like the busy discussion group “ORIGINS” (Origins: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion..... ).
I have been running a long discussion (over 50 posts) there about being "Proud to be Atheist" because we should all be inwardly proud---and most of us outwardly loudly proud too---seeing that atheists and humanists hold the intellectual high ground over the pathetic nonsense of the irrational, superstitious god believers.

"they still have the internet. i'm guessing she'll be treated fine though. it's not like she tried to stir things up. she was asked a question and she answered it honestly. "
Mr Peterdactyl replied to matthew greenberg's discussion Pope Francis says even Atheists go to Heaven"In the middle of OK that was pretty brave. Good thing her neighbors lost their TV sets. (I know, that probably sounds insensitive, but I am originally from KS, so I stand by the comment.)

The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Mindy, I was speaking with a coworker of mine about 30 mins ago who lives in Rockford. She said no rain there last night but a couple of flights to O'Hare were diverted to the Rockford airport. It was fairly nasty here. "
