We have some Christians over here who can still use their brain why does this not make it across the pond?
I keep telling people here man, it is all a conspiracy by the americans for us to think they are that stupid.
But I see trough their ruse.

Everything's a fucking conspiracy.
We had this guy on here a while back saying the whole of education, worldwide is a conspiracy. Against what, I'm not sure.

"For some people, even having to get up in the morning is a conspiracy by the producers of alarm clocks".
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Maybe it is because autism has been linked to vaccinations.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Before we even start, how about citation from this "medical doctor"? A link to his paper, a name? Anything.
Secondly all this "vaccinations cause autism" stuff is just absolute nonsense.
Do you know why there are more categorised cases of autism now, percentage wise, the there were previously? Because new medical procedures have identified new classes of autism and many other behavioural disorders have been RECLASSIFIED as autism.
That's something that you won't hear your anti-vaxxer heroes, like that highly educated medical professional Jenny McCarthy.
I can't seem to remember where she got her medical degree from. Oh wait, wasn't it at the University of Playboy Mansion?

Don't forget Andrew Wakefield, with his medical degree from Medical-Degree-Revoked-For-Professional-Dishonesty-And-Child-Abuse University! The anti-vaccine movement is just filled with prestigious individuals!

I agree with Bill Maher about ONE thing.
Skepticism of government and big Pharma shouldn't be vilified. People should be skeptics about everything.
Under no circumstances is that the end of it though. This is what bugs me about all the bullshit conspiracy garbage Maher spouted off on his show Friday. It was that it's okay to be a skeptic and that's it.
The natural conclusion of skepticism is that the question is just the beginning. You don't just stop there. The questions is what leads you on a search for the answer. I am absolutely skeptical of Big Pharma. I have also read peer reviewed articles which attest to the efficacy of vaccination and the idea of herd immunity. So my skepticism about vaccinations is quelled.
This mislabelling of continued ignorance/incredulity as skepticism is something Bill Maher should be ashamed of.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Conan's looking to capitalize on the anti-vax crowd early.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
