I just said that I take that fear and control it. Make it powerless. How can that be anything but not living in fear, asshole? Just because I get momentary urges and control them suddenly makes me a bad guy?

Well fuck you, you ain't no saint yourself.

Of course I'm not a saint. I'm an atheist, dude.

Erm, we were talking about Juan williams. The "you" was the royal "you", not you personally. You appear to have some serious anger management issues. You should do something about that before you hurt someone or visa versa.

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
