So, I didn't see this on snopes or in this thread (apologies if it is, it's a huge thread), but my dad just shared this on FB: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4572236395101&set=o.446423412037272&type=1&ref=nf  New Yorker magazine 1996Here is a picture of the Obamas On the table next to Obama is a voodoo-santeria demon Idol.

Who gives a poo poo if a family wants to have 19 kids? I guess liberals? I mean, I consider myself pretty drat liberal and I don't give a poo poo what they do. Sure, I think it's crazy but I don't hate them for it or anything. How do you afford having 19 kids?

While the Duggars apparently are self-sufficient, it's a common dogwhistle to say that people have "too many kids" because they receive welfare and "can't afford" the children.

Not only that, but the Duggars are directly responsible for the death of at least one of their babies, you'd thing the pro-life people would stop telling them to have kids at some point.

Yeah, it only starts being a concern when the quality of life for the children starts being affected. With the Duggar family getting a multi-season TLC series dedicated to them, chances are they're rich enough to afford care.

Just got a good one. I googled quotes within specific date ranges and on archive.org trying to find the origin and it was of course a freeper fantasy. Bergoglio makes mincemeat of journalist (socialism = evil) quote:Sadly, the link has been yanked.  "Never existed" and "yanked" are pretty interchangeable.Even the freepers caught on to it being too ridiculous to be real, but I guess I need to hold my relatives to a lower standard.

Sure, I think it's crazy but I don't hate them for it or anything. People give a poo poo about the Duggars because their Quiverfull ideology is part of the lunatic fringe of evil Christian thought. They're outspokenly misogynist, homeschool all their children in order to brainwash them most effectively, and essentially run their family as a tiny cult with the father at the top. The mother--and eventually the daughters--is regarded as little more than a baby factory, with the explicit aim of out-reproducing members of other religions. Meanwhile, despite already being well-off, they have their house built for them by the Discovery Channel. The Duggars are basically just the Phelps but with better PR.

Some asshat who claims to be a "conservative former Democrat turned Independent" has started trolling a friend of mine. He's already dropped some clear racism and revealed that he was the campaign director for a local City Council candidate who loved to say the word friend of the family. He is a HUGE Rand Paul fan. Of course, this is the South, so "former conservative Democrat" means "they left me when they stopped backing all white males!" One friend of mine keeps arguing with him (but that friend has Asperger's or something, so what can you do?). He posted this and captioned it "PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S WORST NIGHTMARE"  Is there a reason why it's black people? This guy's...not someone to post half-naked black people.

Planned parenthood's goal is to abort all the black babies because Margaret Sanger was a racist eugenecist. Black people are secret conservatives. Get them to start opposing liberals on abortion and it'll be easy for them to vote for conservatives, because that's really the natural position for them.

Black women have abortions more often than white women. This is intentional on the part of liberals (the real racists), who are secretly trying to use welfare and easy access to abortion to exterminate black people. They also like to bring up Margaret Sanger being racist and a eugenicist. Dr Christmas fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Apr 14, 2013 |

Her Wikipedia page of course says her views were actually rather nuanced and not necessarily motivated by hate as much as ignorance and largely reflect mainstream views of her time, but a lot of ring-wing pundits have tried to spin her views to make her look like She-Hitler.

I'd always heard that green skies mean there's a tornado. So when my aunt posted about the green skies during a storm, I looked it up before I responded. The page I found said that while it's not associated with tornadoes, it is associated with thunderstorms in general and offered some possible reasons why. What then followed was everyone studiously ignoring science in favor of folklore. I just don't get it. It's not like I was posting Snopes or Media Matters or saying "That's not true!" and being contrarian. I posted it before anyone even mentioned tornadoes, and the actual link gave some really interesting information. I'm used to people ignoring information in an argument because it hurts their ego, or ignoring information because they're not interested in the subject. But to ignore information and then try to invent your own explanations?

What then followed was everyone studiously ignoring science in favor of folklore. As a chem major this happens to me all the time. A family member or friend will ask about why something changes color or solidifies and I'll try to explain it in the simplest way possible, but they just stop listening once you say something like "molecules" or "double bonds". A good example is when a friend asked me why bleach doesn't get out blood stains and I got about one sentence in before they were like "Whoa, okay, I don't actually care THAT much." All I said was "Blood has iron in it and bleach can't effect that."  Not only do people want the easiest explanation in the simplest possible language, but if it goes too far beyond what they already know they seem to reject it on principle.

This is actually important when it comes to political communication. It's important to use "basic level" concepts instead of superordinate level concepts. A basic-level concept can be seen, touched, smelled or heard. If you had some crayons you could probably draw a basic-level concept, or if not, you could act it out in charades. Applied to environmentalism, it's ineffective to talk about ozone, atmosphere, or global climate. On the other hand, water, fire, air and dirt are all basic-level concepts that anyone can relate to and understand. People understand when you say that it's important to fight pollution because it puts chemicals into the air that we breathe which makes us sick.

I thought the evidence that people have against registration was California having a registry on long guns and after a few years decided that SKS's were illegal and the registration made it easy to find people who owned them. The problem is that depending on which side of the debate you're on, that it was good or it was bad. EDIT: D&D really needs another gun control thread, half-assed posting in this and the cartoons thread is pretty bad.
