What in the Western World is going on here? To new-release movies just hit my alerts list within as many days.

Marc Barnes’ Retardation Religion
By NZB3
My best philosophical revelations are frequently revealed by observing people who went the other way. Some of my oldest and most carefully thought out Core Beliefs don’t even register with me until I trace back someone’s behavior to the fact that their own Core Beliefs are totally opposed to mine. For example, as an Anarchist, […]

By NZB3
“Have a hmmm” The Government health insurance agency, ACC, is liable every time a New Zealander has an ‘accident’ (though that word is used very liberally.)

“Meet Cornelia, the Kiwi-built robo-turtle”says Newstalk ZB newsvertising. “It looks like a turtle and swims like a turtle, but this Kiwi-built green machine is more robot than reptile.” Because, Jamie Morton (reporter,) it is 100% AUT robot turtle and 0% reptile.

Christian Software Patch: Uninstall
By NZB3
The Roman era is different to the Christian because of the object of sacrifice. Like primitives, the Romans held that gods both large and small determined forces of nature and that they were personal and could be appealed to.

By NZB3
This information interferes with several of their cherished beliefs… “The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do.

Optimus Prime Toaster
By NZB3
Returning home last night from watching the film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts I took a tangent away from an image-editing job. This was a kids movie and a kid persuaded me to see it with them. Even movies I do not enjoy can be deconstructed and diagnosed but this film was at least watchable […]
