That's just the way it is. Animals will make the news if they're cute. You gotta love those pandas and we have to save the dolphins from getting killed and put into tuna cans. Tuna? Well they're ugly and anti-social so they go into cans. They're also quite tasty, especially that fatty part, fresh and raw with some soy sauce and wasabi.<BR/><BR/>Missing males aren't news. If they can't fend for themselves, tough. Haven't we all seen 300? <BR/><BR/>Most US news, at least tv news, is just appeals to what will get the most viewers. Cute, hot, and white works, as does tragedy and fear. Issues where you have to think or that can't be summed up in a catchy phrase just don't go over in the US. I mean come on, they're competing with Springer, Cheaters, American Idol, America's Next Top Model, and booby movies on the premium movie channels., and of course there's those intertubes that are monopolizing everyone's time. ;)PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-17888393232325150012008-05-04T11:42:00.000-05:002008-05-04T11:42:00.000-05:00In the current world environment, in which theocra...In the current world environment, in which theocrats are vying for control of most countries, EVERY question is ultimately political. Societies control politics and ideas control societies. So any idea has political ramifications. <BR/><BR/>Even Philly's missing white girl is ultimately a political issue. Because why doesn't the American audience sit on the edges of their seats over a missing girl who's <I>not</I> white? Or a missing male adult? Or a missing animal species that hasn't been seen for a few years? <BR/><BR/>There we have racist, age-ist, sexist, and environmental issues -- all political -- reflected in our common anxiety levels.The Exterminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452054124550486048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-65150712888568004312008-05-04T11:19:00.000-05:002008-05-04T11:19:00.000-05:00I think we're all quite sick of ourselves talking ...I think we're all quite sick of ourselves talking politics. It's hard though, since it's all you get on the news now. I mean, Britney hasn't done anything in awhile, Anna Nicole is still dead and Michael Jackson is in Dubai so we really have nothing else going on here in the US. Occasionally you hear some things about natural disasters, the economy, and some war that's going on (which I guess we're winning since they never show any caskets with US flags on them or anything) but mostly it's all political stuff, provided some white girl doesn't get lost or a young celebrity white girl doesn't do something risque´PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-7504234506650895182008-05-04T10:36:00.000-05:002008-05-04T10:36:00.000-05:00Sean, you might be pleasantly surprised with our n...Sean, you might be pleasantly surprised with our next podcast if you're looking for non-political topics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429263099197981481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-82714906626875880962008-05-03T20:24:00.000-05:002008-05-03T20:24:00.000-05:00I am less a fan of your political stuff (I am Aust...I am less a fan of your political stuff (I am Australian) and while the election of the next president of the US will effect me, I have no desire to listen to the ins and outs especially when you system is so drawn out - I think our political campaigning only lasts 6 weeks. :)<BR/><BR/>This was a good episode and it was interesting putting voices to bloggers.Sean Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485575602984697926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-13813450015896666012008-05-03T14:41:00.000-05:002008-05-03T14:41:00.000-05:00By the way, thanks to Sean the Blogonaut for liste...By the way, thanks to Sean the Blogonaut for listening and commenting.<BR/><BR/>Any friend of Charles Darwin is a friend of ours!<BR/><BR/>Not that we discourage those who are against us from commenting.John Evohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868904051881865159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-76188873850098420382008-05-03T14:39:00.000-05:002008-05-03T14:39:00.000-05:00I'm thinking Venjanz could add some explosive mate...I'm thinking Venjanz could add some explosive material to our Virginia Woolf discussion!John Evohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868904051881865159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-27695097944661149962008-05-03T14:02:00.000-05:002008-05-03T14:02:00.000-05:00Hide your porn bookmarks, Venjanz.Hide your porn bookmarks, Venjanz.PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-25780392925331614282008-05-03T13:56:00.000-05:002008-05-03T13:56:00.000-05:00I thought women were not allowed on the internet?I thought women were not allowed on the internet?Venjanzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632111675112237375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-51665122258568475622008-05-03T12:49:00.000-05:002008-05-03T12:49:00.000-05:00Yes, she is.

It might be good if the Deacon answered this if he's around.<BR/><BR/>When you described your initial dinner discussion with Deac in which you told him about your atheism, you said that he still believed in god but not in the way you guys have been taught in the Salvation Army. Now, this seems to be a position that you had reached a couple of years ago, before you also decided that atheism was the only logical position. But with Deacon, this was merely a few months ago. And literally within weeks he was joining you on your atheist blog as, apparently, a full-blown atheist himself. So how did THAT come about?John Evohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868904051881865159noreply@blogger.com
