First Muir is banned from the thread, and now resident Canadian conservative sycophant JJ McCullough has decided to retire (crossposting Rime from CanPol Megathread ):

JJ McCullough posted:

2015 was a pretty anti-climactic year for me.

I moved back to Vancouver to be closer to the Sun News studio, only for Sun News to shut down a month later. I made a new website, http://www.americansthatmatter.com which I had high hopes for, but it proved to be a bit of a flop. I started writing columns at looniepolitics.com, but I don't imagine I'm going to be getting a Pulitzer anytime soon. I'm still doing appearances for CTV (this will be my fifth year with the station) but I'm doing less of them than I used to. Beyond that, I didn't spend 2015 working nearly as much as I should have. My biggest new project was my YouTube channel, which will probably be my most lasting legacy of this past year. Overall, I often feel frustrated that I am not living up to my potential, and particularly the potential other people see in me.

I also find myself growing more and more tired of politics, particularly Canadian politics. As a conservative, I think the appropriate role for government and politics is at the margins of life, and yet I have allowed an obsession with both to consume too much of mine. A life overly concerned with politics is a life consumed by a lot of unpleasant, negative emotions and an identity defined by controversy and divisiveness. I think that will be more the case now that my party is out of power, and it's a temptation that concerns me. People always say "you must be excited at all the material you'll have now that Trudeau's in charge" but I'm really not.

In 2016 I hope to begin pursuing some new and different professional pursuits that can help me make the parts of myself I enjoy best — art and creativity and learning and humor — a more central focus of my life.

Just pour it directly into your gaping mouth-hole you decadent slut

There are two creation stories in Genesis. The first one shows God creating all humanity at once, the second shows Adam being made from dust and Eve from his rib. They don't really gel together and contradict each other in several places. A sensible way to read this is that the compilers of the Torah didn't have an opinion on whether they were "literally" true, but thought they were both important theological statements and should be included. People who call themselves "literalists" will insist that they're somehow both true and historically accurate.

Edit: I don't agree with Muir being banned, but eight pages of people arguing about whether he should have been banned is worse than any decision that could have been made. There, I've said my piece, and now I'm moving on.

Seriously though I don't intend to post them daily anyway. I intend to let them build up and pick up some stupid ones that I think the thread'll find funny/ridiculous.

If the mods genuinely want me to stop, I'll stop. I just wanted to provide something instead of just always being on the sidelines and watching.

Because he's an absolute hypocrite. He rants and complains about how academia is a breeding ground for liberalism, how he thinks academics are rapidly losing their value... And he's a loving Poli Sci major.

Stantis, although his art is fairly medicore. It's kinda like Ramirez except he can draw human beings.

He called out the GOP in waterboarding in Prickly City in the middle of the Bush administration, which already makes him better than the jackasses who retroactively deem Bush as bad. He also changed his mind on gay marriage, and he's has done cartoons in which he wrestles with the guilt of supporting the Iraq invasion.

Keep in mind he's still a conservative, so despite Bush getting so much wrong he still fawns over neoconservatives and Obama Bad.
