| Most of the religious people on TBN were predicting the Rapture back in the 90s. John Hagee said he'd be surprised if the Rapture hadn't occurred by 2004. Hal Lindsay was another phony Armageddon prophet. Doom prophesies are a way for them to make money. |

| Counterpunch also publishes some of the most vile and extreme Jewish anti-semites in existence (which goes way past what the average left-wing antisemite says). It also publishes Holocaust deniers, has praised other famous Holocaust deniers and has gone to the trouble of inviting neo-Nazis to write... |

| I'm a supporter of Israel and I would welcome it if the U.S. stopped providing Israel with that tiny amount of financial 'aid' (that is really just an indirect bung to the U.S. military). It would be one less thing that anti-Israel nutjobs could beat Israel with, and I'm absolutely sure that Israel... |

| Or are all right-wingers evil guffawing monsters who would do that to Somali blacks themselves if they had the chance? Loaded question. You're not a right-winger because you're in love with the politically correct status quo. Of all of the countries in the Middle East Israel approximates the status... |

| Which polls? I've seen polls that report as many as half of all Palestinians support a two-state solution. A majority of Palestinians, according to this survey suggests that they support the idea of a two-state solution, but equally they only support that as an interim measure until they can finish... |

| By trying to erode traditional gender roles, it would seem that feminism would do a big favor to both aspie men and women. Why am I wrong? Because they are trying to square the circle. It's like trying to erode the fear instinct. The roles exist because they had utility in earlier environments. The... |

| [They should get their own state. Poll after poll shows that they do not want their own state. They want the annihilation of the Jewish state. And this is from a supporter of a separate Arab state in the West Bank and Gaza. Which polls? I've seen polls that report as many as half of all Palestinian... |

| One solution would be for society overall to encourage more volunteers to be sex workers (male and female). I suspect the majority of the various forms of feminism (aside from religion) is a major obstacle in the face of such a solution. What is this a solution to? It's not like you are going to di... |

It is not something that will go away as soon as people start demanding rights. Why call women sluts and dykes or call men f... |

| Back in the 90s, there was a televangelist named Benny Hinn who had a show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. This guy was a major fraud. He'd get pre-selected audience members with various medical problems to line up in front of him. Then he'd pray and touch their foreheads, causing the audience ... |

| "Society" is comprised of individuals. If you want "society" to work together to fix your inability to get laid, you had best start considering how to convince "individuals" to care about your plight. But in the very next sentence you say My point is that you're no more qualified to determine what ... |
