Joey commented on sean hogge's blog post The State of Rationality
"@Catana: Ah. Well. Bugger.

I spent 2 hours today arguing with someone that basically thought admitting to atheism was trying to force it on others. I should've…"

"@sean: I've never used the chat feature, so I'm not sure what goes on there. We have the random troll, woo peddler, and conspiracy theorist turn up in blogs and discussions, but they're usually blown to pieces fairly…"

"K Walker: I turned to atheism for other reasons. Did you turn to atheism out of fear or retribution?
Jay: I don't hate it. I just don't want to use it."
Jay commented on sean hogge's blog post The State of Rationality
"Sometimes you have to ruffle a few feathers to cause change imo. But why hate on the water vapor one despite its price. Practically every smoker I know that has tried it out loved it. I agree that some of the restrictions on smoking are ridiculous.…"
sean hogge replied to Jared Lardo's discussion Help me out, physicists: redshift violates conservation of energy? in the group Physicists
"You haven't screwed up. Cosmologists and theoretical physicists are trying to determine where this energy "goes."
Some say that energy isn't conserved locally, but universally (generally for expansionary redshift). Some say that…"

The last couple days, the US news media has been focused (for good or ill) on this EF-5 tornado which wiped out a considerable portion of Moore, Oklahoma.
