Mississippi update! 1   2Some of our brave lawmakers want to make the Bible Mississippi's "State Book" instead of trying to do their drat jobs.  3A group of students at Brandon High School wanted to create a student-led and organized Gay-Straight Alliance, prompting the Rankin County (which is just east of Jackson) school board to change their policy to try to limit "gay clubs".

This is incoherent even by Muir's standards. Also why do these women who are constantly sunbathing topless have such stark tan lines???

It's turning into Iron Pill with tits. Merry page 100, the thread is a tough slog this year. Here's my crappy souvenir drawing but I also have the scars as always.  It's not even as bad as most of the cartoonists posted here regularly. I'm slipping. Saint Isaias Boner fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Jan 18, 2015 |

It still amazes me that people glorify the wars of the mostly illiterate Europeans against the originators of the numerals we use, algebra, large chunks of astronomy and the preservers of the knowledge of the Ancient World, with the Europeans as the 'Civilized' ones. loving boggles the mind.

"Got civilization? DIY, bitches" This statement bothers me a lot. Not because it's sexist and stupid (thanks to the internet I've grown numb to that), but because it doesn't make sense grammatically. It should be "Want civilization? DIY, bitches" because using 'got' implies the bitches already have a civilization and thus don't need any help creating one from a 50 something racist. Also: knights were assholes. They raped, they pillaged, and I'm really glad they aren't around anymore.

Zed is not taking up The White Man's Burden because his strawsister-in-law told him to stop drinking beers and get to it already. The supporting cast agrees with Zed's actions because they are irrationally bad people who are also lazy freeloaders.

The supporting cast agrees with Zed's actions because they are irrationally bad people who are also lazy freeloaders. On the other hand, it's triple-distilled comedy that NOT ONLY does Chris Muir think that white men are the only civilizing force acting upon humanity, but also that the jobless, beer-swilling, self-centered, ineffectual, antipaterfamilias mooch-man character of Zed is a shining example of such. It's so very unspeakably funny that I think I can feel parts of my brain coming loose.

Samurai Sanders posted:I just got done watching Game Change and I wonder, was Palin as clueless as to the contents of the Bible as she was to everything else regarding politics? Very possible.. after all "God helps those who help themselves" is one of the most quoted bible verses. And it's not only not there it's kind of antithetical to the rest of the drat thing. Edit: Also.. gently caress Muir. DIY Civilization? At the time of the crusades there were individual scholars in Baghdad that had more books than the whole of England, not counting the libraries and universities. Christians were still making GBS threads in the drinking water while Arab cities had sewers and streetlights. And it's not like they had an empire that stretched from the Atlantic to China and India or anything.. it's not like it was one of if not the largest, most advanced civilization to date at the time of the crusades or anything.

As much as the crusades were a lovely set of wars based on lovely principals that led to lovely results, this isn't really an accurate reading of history. At the time of the first crusade, their hadn't been a united Caliphate from the Atlantic to the middle east in something like 250 years, and no incarnation of the Arab empire ever bordered China. And while Western Europe had mostly lost the luster is had under the Romans, there was still very much a Roman empire is Greece and Turkey, and Constantinople was easily the rival of Baghdad or Alexandria in wealth and learning. Of course, any time I try to say anything about history in this thread, someone who knows more than me points out all the ways I'm horribly wrong so who knows.

Does anybody have that Branco comic where he shows his complete inability to draw bongs and level horizons? The one where the guy's smoking the bong backwards and there's a short wall, on one side of which the ground is lower than the other by a large margin.

At the time of the first crusade, their hadn't been a united Caliphate from the You're right, I was playing fast and loose with my time frame. I was just meaning that an "Arab empire" prior to the crusades was very civilized and very developed and did stretch that far. In 751 Arabs encountered the western edge of the Tang dynasty at the Battle of Talas very near the modern day boarder of China/Kazakhstan, so yes the Arab civilization did reach to China. Granted by the time of the first crusade it had splintered and shrunk, but this idea that they don't have their own "civilization" was bugging me. And Baghdad at it's height (which again, peaked prior to the crusades rather than during them) was a center of learning that not even Constantinople could match. Wealth and luxury perhaps but not learning. Though I also know I'm only an amateur history lover so if I'm wrong I apologize, Muir just was so wrong it made me go on that rant.
