Yeah - the gun industry shills on fox are assholes trying to misdirect satire/criticism from the gun shill money lining their wallets, but seriously - gently caress Jim Carrey for his anti vaccine bullshit.

People keep saying that, but was he ever full of anti vaccine bullshit? I remember Jenny McCarthy being crazy about it but I don't recall him ever saying a word on the subject, and he divorced her some time ago.

He spoke at anti vaccine rallies and has been quite vocal about it. Again: gently caress him. Also when Dr Wakefield's faked study was discredited as the massive lie it was, Carrey and MCCarthy both doubled down and claimed they and Wakefield were victims of a far reaching misinformation campaign. In spite of Wakefield himself admitting his study was bogus. Spacedad fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Mar 31, 2013 |

McCarthy has also backed off from her anti-vax position in recent years, having decided that her autistic son is really a magical indigo child who needs chelation therapy and a gluten-free diet. She and Carey are still responsible for hundreds of preventable deaths a year and will be for many, many years to come. The only piece of fan mail I ever sent was a thank-you note to Amanda Peet for starring in a PSA promoting vaccination and debunking McCarthy's poo poo. I don't know poo poo about actors but I'll buy a ticket for anything she's in. I won't necessarily watch it, but I feel like I should do something.

For the person wondering why Nic Cage would get an octopus to become a better actor, it's because octopuses are masters of visually expressing emotions. It makes a lot of sense to want to learn about acting from an octopus, even if it is also kinda looney. Jim Carrey does advocate some Buddhist type spirituality so he probably helps save people doing that. He's done good as well as bad in the world. Though I guess a lot of hateful harmful people advocate Christian spirituality, and I don't use that to cut them slack. The 'Christianity' they advocate is pretty far removed from the idea of salvation through grace however. It's more of a type of xenophobic idolatry using the bible as the idol. I don't know how helpful such a spiritual ideology is to the people who follow it, but I bet it's more helpful than I'm imagining it is. It is also specifically more harmful to outsiders than Jim Carrey's belief that we are the universe experiencing itself, man. Until, of course, that belief system leads him to advocate against vaccines. It's a tricky web, I dunno what to make of it.

Yeah, since we can't have a gun control thread in D&D most people can't discuss this but I can say that plenty of gunowners think that the NRA is loving stupid and this whole inch-mile over background checks just makes them seem worse. Shame that US discourse constantly is two teams and never effectively "gently caress both".

Again: gently caress him. Both parties here have said some seriously hosed up things, the difference being that one of them is a 24 hour "news" outlet and has about 100,000x more screen time than Carrey to a national audience. He's been a little poo poo sure but its not like they are even playing in the same ballfield of horrible damaging statements to the general populace.

I know that this is technically the "Right Wing Media" thread and not the "Corporate Centrist Media" thread, but apparently MSNBC is moving Chris Hayes from his 2-hour weekend morning show and putting him right in their 8pm primetime slot. His new show starts tomorrow and comes on right before Maddow. http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/14/chris-hayes-to-take-over-8-p-m-show-on-msnbc/ VirtualStranger fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Mar 31, 2013 |

I have a gun (used to have two until one was stolen) and I am 100% in favor of all kinds of regulation on firearms. And I loving hate the NRA and would never in a million years imagine supporting them. Like pretty much everything, the vocal minority ruin things, or make the rest of the majority look bad.

I have several firearms and I fully support licensing, registration, and periodic re-registering and re-licensing. gently caress the NRA, they're arguably a threat to gun ownership themselves as they are helping turn public opinion against gun ownership.

The NRA used to be a non-partisan educational sort of thing. They changed around the Reagan Revolution. They're about to reap what they sow: since they're so tied to Republicans, Democrats can just ignore 'em anyhow.

Blue states in the upper midwest are very pro-hunting and skeptical of gun control. Al Franken might be liberal as gently caress, but he and Amy Klobuchar don't say anything about guns in Minnesota that isn't supported by 70% or more of the voting public.

Obama forced Google to show an image of a socialist organiser instead of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on Easter. "It's a small thing, of course, but this kind of thing, accumulated, signals an intention to de-Christianization of our culture, and the creation of an intentional hostility to Christianity that will eventually cease to be latent, or minor." Spoken by someone who knows all about latent intentional hostility, I'd wager.

Quite easily. You just have to not give a drat. Up until the point where Congress does something about it at least. If it's just right wing pundits, Facebook friends from high school, and radio hosts getting indignant you don't have to be upset about it.

I stopped being religious around the age of 14 when I started seeing how crazy religion seemed to make people. To this day I can't disassociate Christianity and organized religion from whacked out conservatives and repugnant social and economic viewpoints. Quite sad, really.

The best part is, Chavez was vehemently anti-illegal immigrant, even going so far as to report undocumented workers. He considered them a threat to American jobs. So the idiots who are up in arms over his appearance on the Google search look even dumber. Of course, these boobs see "Chavez" and are too dumb to actually think beyond Hugo. Or actually, you know, read.

Easter really confused me on Facebook. Some people are calling it "resurrection sunday" to remember the real meaning of easter. which is odd cause I thought easter was a pagon holiday Christianity co opted. Then other people took the "resurrection sunday" as an attack in the war on Easter like the so called war on Christmas. It makes sense to have a Chavez doodle on his birthday. And while I grew up in the central valley I am sure alot of other people in the country arent that aware of him.
