"We, the members of UCAWWW, petition that the Internet (World Wide Web) creates nothing but harm in society today. The Internet is a cause for addiction and sin while taking away traditional family values. Our children are being exposed to filth that causes sexual tendencies and drug addiction. We therefore, demand that the internet be permanently banned from American homes. We MUST restore faith in God and steer clear of the devil!" - Undersigned by 1800 batshit crazy idiots

You know, I've thought about this a lot, and I think it needs to be said: If heaven is indeed populated with these televangelist-watching, "family values" chucking, ignorant, bigot, hypocritical, fundementalist idiots; I think -- given the choice -- I choose to go to hell over heaven. Sure, the pit of fire, torture chambers, and ice caves undoubtably get really old, really fast... but at least I won't have to spend eternity hearing the "beliefs", "values", and "ideas" of these annoying idiots.
"This new perception on cell control mechanisms frees us from the limitations of genetic determinism. Rather than behaving as programmed genetic automatons, biological behavior is dynamically linked to the environment. Though this reductionist approach has highlighted the mechanism of the individual perception proteins, an understanding of the processing mechanism emphasizes the holistic nature of biological organisms. The expression of the cell reflects the recognition of all perceived environmental stimuli, both physical and energetic. Consequently, the "Heart of Energy Medicine" may truly be found in the magic of the membrane." - Dr. Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. , Insight into Cellular "Consciousness"
"Brides gotta run, planes gotta stray, and cable news networks gotta find a way to fill a lot of programming hours as cheaply as possible...We say with all the genuine apolitical and non-partisan human concern that we can muster that the death and carnage in Iraq is truly staggering. And/but we are sort of resigned to the Notion that it simply isn't going to break through to American news organizations, or, for the most part, Americans...What is hands down the biggest story every day in the world will get almost no coverage." - ABC news explaining why the most important stories just aren't newsworthy
Note: Oh... btw, bloggers lack credibility and responsibility. They could never take on the moral task of informing the public... sheesh...
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
"I abhor the law and the parasites that practice it. They are the handmaidens of the social and ideological repression imposed on us by those in unelected or fraudulently elected power elites, pimps for the rich and powerful." - Dave Pollard  Â
p.s. I recommend reading the essay from which that quote was extracted: Resolving Conflict
"The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone
said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire,
but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.' " - George Carlin
"Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other 'asshats'."
"If knowledge is power, then the Google Web Accelerator completes the trifecta of web domination:
Through its continued dominance in search, Google knows what people are looking for.
Through the Urchin acquisition, they know what people are buying and how they are converting.
Through the GWA, Google knows where people are going on the web.
If adoption of each product is successful (and its well on its way), Google will soon have the most comprehensive, complete understanding of user behavior the Internet Economy has ever seen...the modern-day successor to the Roman Empire."
"The trial transcript quotes Ms. Hayden as saying Murphy called her a snitch
bitch “hoe.†A “hoe,†of course, is a tool used for weeding and gardening. We
think the court reporter, unfamiliar with rap music (perhaps thankfully so),
misunderstood Hayden’s response. We have taken the liberty of changing “hoe†to
“ho,†a staple of rap music vernacular as, for example, when Ludacris raps “You
doin’ ho activities with ho tendencies.â€
"The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson
