Thanks, that was good. The poor are dumb.

You're dumb.

It would be more accurate to say that poor people are encouraged to look up to certain people as role models, and since the mainstream media is easily accessible as well as controlled by the rich, those role models reflect the class interests of their promoters.

But why bother with critical analysis when it's so much easier to blame the "great unwashed" for their predicament? :rolleyes:

[wunderbar]

It was a good ending to an otherwise meh episode with a terrible opening. Maher really let his Islamophobia on display in his interview with Keith Ellison.

You're dumb.

Consider this a verbal warning for making personal attacks.

You call this critical analysis?:rolleyes: More like a convoluted one on why workers are dumb and lack self-respect.

Consider this to be me, laughing in your face, for your truly pathetic attempt at backseat moderating.

Perhaps your towering intellect could deign to lower itself to our level and explain why workers are apparently a dumb gaggle of sheep.

Wow! I mean ... just wow! It's the most insightful thing I've ever read.

Your post #7 proves my point.

[RGacky3]

Milk, you are in NO position to call anyone dumb. You watched a clip from Bill Mayer and concluded poor people are dumb, well, I've read a lot of your posts, and I'm concluding, along with a lot of people, that your lack even basic intelligence.

Anyway, it was a good clip, and he made some good points, I just can stand his arrogance and smugness, who the hell has a show making "new rules" for America, how cocky is that?

Stop evading and answer my question.

Wow! I mean ... just wow! It's the most insightful thing I've ever read.Sorry, I was simply afraid that if I were more explicit you may have given me a verbal warning.

Maher is critical of all religions.. So its not so surprising that he is critical of Islam.

[wunderbar]

From watching his show regularly I've noticed that while he's critical of all religion, he's especially suspicious of Islam. In his interview with Ellison, he described radical Islam as "a unique and greater threat" compared to other religions, and then he cited suicide bombing as proof. Even when he acknowledged that the majority of Muslims aren't radical, he used the bullshit "it just takes one" excuse, which I've never heard him use toward fundamentalism in other religions.

It's fine to be critical of all religions, but when you single out one religion as being worse than the others, you've gone in the direction of bigotry.

I understand what you mean. But Maher has a point. All religions are violent, just read the Bible. But what happened with for example Christianity is that its mostly secular, at least in Europe.

Islam has yet to reach that point.

This is the private message I received from NoXion:

Good job, fuckface.

I am wondering whether moderators are exempted from rules and etiquette.

That was a negative reputation comment, not a private message. The fact you don't know the difference tells us that you're either a troll, in which case you deserve it, or that you are mentally incompetent, in which case does your nurse know you go on the internet?

In fact, have some more neg rep for being such a colossal waste of carbon.

See, I got you into admitting it, didn't I?:D

[gorillafuck]

No he didn't, I see no admission. Dunno what you're talking about.

That's because you're dumb.:)

Did you ever seen his movie?

[wunderbar]

Did you ever seen his movie?


Yes, I have. Notice in the movie that while his focus on Christianity is somewhat lighthearted (creationist theme park, televangelist who thinks he's Jesus, idiot politician who uses his church as a voting guide), when he moves onto Islam, things take on a darker edge. He interviews Geert Wilders, a right-wing Dutch politician who has campaigned to cut off immigration from Muslim countries, ban the Qur'an from the Netherlands, as well as institute a "head rag tax" (his words) on Muslim women who wear the hijab. Later on when he does interview Muslims, he asks much more pointed and direct questions than he asked the Christians earlier in the movie. My main point here is that there's nothing wrong with actively challenging religion and religious teachings, but when you throw relative softballs at one side, and barely hide your contempt for the other side while fawning over those who are bigoted toward that group, there's something seriously off-balance.

There's a good review on Religulous that touches more on what I was saying here: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/jan2009/reli-j02.shtml
