THE SKEPTIC ARENA


This web site is dedicated to the eradication of irrational thinking.
Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,
through the application of the scientific method.

State Atheism

Notice the 4 nations listed as "currently practicing":
People's Republic of China
Lao People's Democratic Republic (de facto)
North Korea
Socialist Republic of Vietnam

What I noticed about those countries is that
they are countries that America went to war with
(North Korea, Vietnam and Lao)
or the country we are currently threatening war against (China)

Jesus would be so proud!
And so would his dad who told us not to kill.

All dictatorships require cooperation of the military ...

Trump is moving quickly to make sure that happens

I told you that Republicans were taking copious notes when Maduro stayed in office
and the winners of the election were forced to flee for their lives to Spain.
That could not have happened without the consent of Venezuela's military.

Black Rock and Black Stone ...

what's the difference? (38:54)

The wealthiest 10% of Americans own
93% of all stocks and 67% of the total wealth;
while the bottom 50% of Americans own
1% of all stocks and 3% of the total wealth.

And there seems to be very little hope
of things getting any better in the near future.

Leigh McGowan (Politics Girl) weighs in on Jill Stein voters (2:29)

My opinion (warning: I lack Leigh's tact) ...

A vote for Stein (in a 2-party system like in the U.S.)
is the same thing as throwing your vote away.
Stein has no path to victory.
Since Stein voters would otherwise vote for Harris,
they are helping ... Trump.

Nice goin' geniuses

I found this quote by comedian David Sedaris on the web:

"To put them [undecided voters in 2024] in perspective,
I think of being on an airplane.
The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart
and, eventually, parks it beside my seat.
'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks.
'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?'
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment
and then ask ... how the chicken is cooked.

Trump's threats are shutting down America's free press.
First, the L.A. Times and then the Washington Post refused to endorse.
Now the New York Post endorses ...

TRUMP!

Money Quote from article: "The NY Post board wrote in July 2022 that ...."

"as a matter of principle, as a matter of character,
Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again.
"

Fear of revenge seems to be driving America's most famous news organizations into submission.

I've learned of 2 more newspapers which have endorsed Trump:
the Washington Times and the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Both are conservative organizations.
But even conservative organizations have no excuse for endorsing
a fascist traitor who lies every time he takes a breath.

UPDATE 10/29 (1 week before the election)

The media is folding as fast as the Republican Party did

Trump's threats of retribution and vengeance are taking their toll
as Democracy goes out with a whimper.
