Admin webmdave Posted February 6, 2007 Admin Share Posted February 6, 2007 CNN's recent report on allegations of discrimination against a family of atheists. The members of the "objective" panel in the second segment is interesting. http://exchristian.net/exchristian/2007/02...t-atheists.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 That is just scary isn't it? We can say what we will about CNN not putting an atheist on the panel during the second half, but.... I think the panel proved the point better than anything anyone could have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vigile Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Who is this lady, the sister of Ann Coulter? The stupid one? [bold mine] A SIMPLE SEARCH OF MY NAME DOES NOT YIELD THE VIDEO. MY NAME IS NOT IN THE KEY WORDS, SO BASICALLY YOU ARE SAYING I CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO FIND A VIDEO OF ME THAT IS NOT UNDER MY NAME. THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THAT MANY ATHEISTS ARE ALSO IDIOTS, IN ADDITION TO BEING FUTURE MUSLIM EXTREMISTS. THE ONLY REASON THESE PEOPLE ARE E-MAILING IS BECAUSE A PROMINENT ATHEIST WEBSITE TOLD THEM TO. THE VIDEO WAS POSTED ON 2/4/07. THAT I'M JUST GETTING THE E-MAILS LAST NIGHT AND TODAY AFTER AN ATHEIST BLOG POSTED ABOUT IT, TELLS ME THE REAL STORY. ESPECIALLY SINCE EVERY SINGLE E-MAIL SAYS THE SAME THING. MONKEYS DOING WHAT THEY'RE TOLD AND PARROTS PARROTING WHAT THEY'RE ASKED TO REPEAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM SMART OR TRUTHFUL.DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I just find it pointless to even acknowledge people like that. Especially to go to their place and do so. They will only see what they want to see, and will only show what makes their point, heavy with their own commentary and views. Which is totally their right to do so on their own blog, but I don't have to set myself up by going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pseudoscientist Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Uh, I think discrimination can happen to anyone regardless of their religion (or lack thereof). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piprus Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Uh, I think discrimination can happen to anyone regardless of their religion (or lack thereof). Really? I've been out of the loop for a while Pseudo, I confess...so enlighten me if you will. Are lutherans discriminating against baptists these days? Catholics attacking Presbyterians? Mobs of AoG's going after LDS? Point being, those of us who don't commit to any religion at all are the ones singled out. Truth is, I for one would feel a whole lot better if theists of all stripes would just accept that we don't want to play the game and you all go off and squabble amongst yourselves for the rest of time.

Godless Wonder Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Uh, I think discrimination can happen to anyone regardless of their religion (or lack thereof). And this disputes any of the preceding posts how? CNN has a discussion about discrimination against atheists, showing a couple atheist families driven out of town and the panel -- all theists -- say the atheists should shut up? (excepting the sports guy who at least thinks the atheists have a right to voice an opinion.) All this with a background graphic, "Why do atheists inspire such hatred?" Imagine the background graphic, "Why do black people inspire such hatred?" and a panel of a couple of KKKers, and one guy who's not a KKKer, who say only, "black people are fine, I don't agree with them, and they'd be a lot better if the switched away from being black, and I don't like them, but they have the right to exist, and I have no problem with them." In what way is what CNN has done different? And your response... "uh, I think discrimination can happen to anyone..." Yeah, so? Do you have some sort of point to make? I think lots of things, I think 1 + 1 = 2, that Cabernet Sauvignon is a nice red wine, that roast leg of lamb is a nice dinner. All these things I think have one thing in common with your post. They are completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pseudoscientist Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Piprus, Godless Wonder, since you obviously disagree with each other based on your individual response to my previous statement, I suggest the two of you talk it out with each other. I'm sure you can answer each other's question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can answer each other's question. No, you don't get out that easy. Defend yourself or retract. You either have a point, or you don't. If you have one, out with it, and defend it. If you don't, concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can answer each other's question. I see no disagreement with Godless Wonder. If you do, explain that please. Where I do agree with GW is that you are bound to either defend your original post and defend it, or retract it. You made the point, "uh, I think discrimination can happen to anyone..." so let's hear it. Tell us what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godless Wonder Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I see no disagreement with Godless Wonder. I suspect he means, that to the "other people are discriminated against too" charge, I responded "so what?" while you disputed his charge to some degree. I think we do not disagree, because I merely failed to dispute it, arguing that it was irrelevant. Even if I had agreed with the charge, as presumably he supposes I do, he disagrees with one of us, and agrees with the other (presumably me) by the "logic" of his artlessly attempted dodge. So, pseudoscientist, Piprus and I have worked it out. What say you? You agree with me? You agree with Piprus? Which is it? What's that? You agree with neither of us? Ok, state your point and defend it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftofpunk Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 How weird. I just started taking a video productions class and we had to make up a fake news broadcast. We shot one in class but it sucked so I checked out a camera and did my own at home for the class. It's not a finished product but here's what I got so far (concerning this issue of course) http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kp3xmr9fbDo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
