    • raynar, on 02/22/2008, -2/+6#11 . 26 is the cut-off limit for shopping at Gap/American Eagle/ Ambergay and Fitch/insert other "hip" store. You look stupid.

    • chyya, on 02/23/2008, -5/+5far from funny. the only funny thing about that blog is that the title of it matches the actually blogger themself. a fcking cnt. srsly SHUT THE FCK up and stop bitching about stupi ***** nobody cares about
  • wtfkeyhole2pro, on 02/22/2008, -42/+11I couldn't have said it better.
    • provost, on 02/22/2008, -1/+52its good you came clean because the first thing I was thinking is.. where is wtfkeyhole2pro because I bet he could say it much better than this.
      • DarkSamus, on 02/22/2008, -0/+17I couldn't have said it better.
        • MikeOSX, on 02/23/2008, -1/+9its good you came clean because the first thing I was thinking is.. where is DarkSamus because I bet he could say it much better than this.
        • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -3/+2Very original.
      • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -3/+0lol.
  • yomamaisfat, on 02/22/2008, -26/+19Way better than a Cracked list.
    • typicalusername, on 02/22/2008, -2/+33How so!? All I saw was "I'm random ***** nerd who believes that I know it all" top 10. Same as a cracked list. I found it entertaining, but not better than anything else.
      • bagboyrebel, on 02/22/2008, -1/+6you don't understand, Cracked is considered mainstream, so they can't be awesome. It's called logic, duh.
        • therightclique, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2how the ***** is Cracked mainstream?
          • smacksaw, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Until recently, a 5 year old could buy it at the grocery store while mom purchased Disney go-gurt?
    • nedev, on 02/22/2008, -3/+8What's wrong with cracked lists now?
    • InfamousAtheist, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2This author and cracked.com have different objectives... sure this post is humorous but the author's trying to convey some common sense tips that many, many (too many... see #1) don't get but should.

      Cracked, IMHO, is much more focused on laughs. They do put some practical information in some of their posts (What is the Monkeyshere is fantastic) but for the most part they're going for the funny/fantastic/outrageous type of post instead of the "use your brains, people" approach this author takes.

      FWIW, I like it; dugg.
    • ghgh1313, on 02/23/2008, -1/+0prepare to die
  • Br33W, on 02/22/2008, -9/+35It was a funny list. I especially liked the part about tattoos and jewelery since it should be a common fact that you WILL get treated differently.
    • ogre2112, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Gotta love those pictures of guys with bald heads and pictures of skulls tattooed ON their skulls. Really.. what do these people do for work?

      Maybe they're all tattoo artists.
    • therightclique, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2look. unless you are extremely skilled in an industry that doesn't mind tattooed employees, or you are an artist of some sort (actually making a living) don't ***** get tattoos that people can see why wearing a typical work uniform. most jobs make you wear pants, so get a tattoo that people can only see if you wear shorts or something. if you're just a douchebag that can sorta stand up right for 5 hours a day, you are not worthy of a ridiculous neck tattoo or skull piercings. these are the same people that think they can go to work high every day and still get their job done correctly. morons.
    • wacomwacoff, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1My friends with terrible tattoos and/or piercings like to say things like "If someone doesn't want me for a job 'cuz of my tattoos, then I wouldn't want to work for them anyway!"

      Sure! Have fun at the 7-11!
      • saymawa, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1they can join advertising where tattoos, piercings, and generally looking like a freak is "cool".
    • silverbax, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1I have always thought that tattoos and piercings were just about the most conforming method of behavior for people who needed a 'connect the dots' method of rebellion. You're different because you have tattoos? Yeah, you and about 100 million other people. Way to stick your neck out.
  • tmracerx, on 02/22/2008, -9/+140should be a #11 on that list:

    people have the insatiable need to create lists "...of Ten"
    • SuperWinner, on 02/22/2008, -0/+32Like the 10 commandments? I'd like that one to go to 11.
      Commandment 11. Keep thy religion to thyselh.
      • Lythium, on 02/22/2008, -0/+11Actually #11 is already taken: Don't Get Caught. ;)
      • IdevInull, on 02/22/2008, -11/+4Yeah because commands to not lie, steal, murder, and have sex with somebody else's wife are obviously archaic, outdated and have no use in a modern enlightened society like ours.
        • skeeterbug84, on 02/22/2008, -2/+6You can still keep your religion to yourself. The list is pretty much common sense anyways. Pretty sure a lot of innocent people were killed in the crusades. You are a bunch of hypocrites, and your religion teaches nothing of morality.
        • flashdrivecoup, on 02/23/2008, -4/+1...I love how you don't even know the guy's religion and he's automatically catholic
    • designerutah, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1No, no, no. Number 11 is the beginning of the business commandments. The ones that deal with how to PROFIT from a successful controlling scam.
      11. Only ask for a tithe. People will give, but you have to sneak it in.
      12. Only "righteous" people can lead, and current leaders get to decide who's a leader.
      13. etc.
    • saradipity, on 02/26/2008, -0/+010 just sounds more definitive for some odd reason.
  • sidewinderaim9x, on 02/22/2008, -6/+13It started off well but the final comments were too unsubstantiated for her tone. Otherwise I loved it!
  • strafefire, on 02/22/2008, -18/+3Dead at 72 diggs...
  • loganhid, on 02/22/2008, -7/+920: Always get a good server
    • nepawoods, on 02/22/2008, -0/+29There should be a bury option for that. If it dies before front page, it should never get there.
  • lickmylovepump, on 02/22/2008, -16/+76"Anal sex does not make you gay. Again, for the benefit of you straight boys. Even if you secretly want your girlfriend to bend you over with a strap on, it's OK. You're not gay. You know why? Because you want to be ***** by a girl, not a boy. That's what the whole "gay" thing is about: Liking boys instead of girls. Anal sex is irrelevant."
    • lickmylovepump, on 02/22/2008, -100/+12First of all, for all the gay men out there, keep going at it. No one really cares. However, 'straight' guys, if you enjoy having your girlfriend bending you over and sticking a dildo up your ass, that means that you are GAY. Get over it already and go ***** guys. Anal sex is very relevant.
      • Taciturn, on 02/22/2008, -5/+99So... if a girl likes anal, does that make her a gay man?
      • csw1342, on 02/22/2008, -1/+20Really, doesn't this all boil down to labeling different sexual and non-sexual acts as gay or straight, and some how widen the divide between the two further alienating the minority. I dont know thats just a thought.
        • Goner, on 02/22/2008, -1/+14you said "widen the divide"... snicker...
      • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2You know, If they like anal, that doesn't make them gay. I mean its whats going through their head that matters. And if someones gay/bi, that's cool... better to be open about it though.
      • DavidGX, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1A guy who is sexually attracted to males = gay.

        A guy who is not sexually attracted to males = not gay.

        Nothing else is relevant.
    • DarkSamus, on 02/22/2008, -0/+16reminds me of when my friend was asked "if you went to prison and you had to take it in the ass or mouth, which would you pick?"
      "but the ass is so personal"
      • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -0/+8XD
        Personally, I don't give a *****. At that point, your screwed anyways.
      • cor315, on 02/23/2008, -1/+0and the mouth isn't!?!?
    • blueRAP, on 02/22/2008, -5/+6I'll be doing the *****, thank you.
    • ispshadow, on 02/23/2008, -2/+17Well, I don't care what any "10 things" list says,

      If you want your girlfriend to ***** you in your ass with a fake penis, you've thought about having a real one in there.
      • wacomwacoff, on 02/23/2008, -0/+4Either that, or you've heard that prostate stimulation feels really ***** good no matter what sexual orientation you are, and the best way to stimulate your prostate is to have someone use a dildo-like thing on you (or a penis).
    • fxu1989, on 02/23/2008, -1/+5I don't know about big ***** dildos going up my ass...

      but a girl sticking a finger for prostate stimulation ... you're gonna love that.
      • funkyjunk3, on 02/23/2008, -3/+2I'm sorry, but a finger up my penis sounds wayy to painful! If it's fingering up my urethra tube, don't even come near me! Unless it's up the anal. Please enlighten me!
        • fxu1989, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2You're either ***** with me or you read my comment wrong.

          How can you have prostate stimulation by sticking a finger through your meatus ... O.o
        • Tiak, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2... I'd recommend checking an anatomy textbook or talking to your doctor, he may be able to explain a large portion of his past behavior that you may have misunderstood...
    • sl123000, on 02/23/2008, -0/+5Amazing Copy-pasta skillz.
    • hobo05, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1dildo - noun - : an object resembling a penis used for sexual stimulation
      I think if you weren't using a dildo, or a penis replicate, the argument would be MUCH more convincing...
  • SuperWinner, on 02/22/2008, -58/+122"Creationism is *****. Seriously."
    I would add; Religion in general is ***** for the exact same reasons.
    • BruceDude, on 02/22/2008, -21/+10Dugg for being true.
    • Defuser, on 02/22/2008, -23/+18I would add "dumbass Diggers who act like douchebags regarding religion are morons." Seriously.
      • SuperWinner, on 02/22/2008, -8/+19Atheists are sick of being pushed around by religion and watching the world go up in flames over imaginary *****, If hating that makes me a douchebag, then so be it.
        • specialK16, on 02/23/2008, -2/+3Ha. I'm not defending religion, but the world is going in flames because of our own ***** destructive and selfish nature. Nothing to do with religion.
        • darienphoenix, on 02/23/2008, -3/+4And we're sure you and Richard Dawkins are going to make the world a better, more loving place.
      • Daz3, on 02/22/2008, -1/+9At least atheists can justify their beliefs.
      • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2Tell me one good reason to follow any religion, that helps proves the religion...
      • tcpip4lyfe, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1I meant to dig him down but Im drunk. Some please do so for me.
    • Stupidumb, on 02/22/2008, -14/+5You think religion is ***** because creationism is ***** ? You do know that creationism is just a screwed up twisted mess of lies and ignorance that is simply derived from religion by dumb religious people? I don't care if you don't like religions, but don't try to use creationism as a reason why. It has no bearing any actual religion itself, it is just a retarded interpretation.
      • mdcarso, on 02/22/2008, -6/+3No it isn't. It is a literal interpretation of God's word. If you don't believe, fine.
        • Stupidumb, on 02/22/2008, -6/+3you retard, ever wonder if the literal interpretation IS the retarded interpretation.
          How bout this, for all you sane people:
          Religious beliefs should not preclude the notions of evolution and big bang theory.
        • Daz3, on 02/22/2008, -2/+4If the bible is a metaphor for what science can tell us why not just skip the middle man?
        • Fafnir43, on 02/23/2008, -2/+3Yeah. Because a text that's been passed through down millenia of copying errors, politically profitable alterations and poorly done translations is going to be absolutely unchanged from when it was first recorded. Fact.
      • dildoolielly, on 02/23/2008, -3/+2This is the real deal pal,

        It doesnt matter what people call you or how rude you are to them, it means nothing in the whole scheme of things. It is meaningless.

        What matters is evidence or lack thereof. You come to the table with absolutely zero evidence for your astonishing, mystical, mythical "Bible-God" claims, tell me not to question your "faith" while embeding your filth into our political process while establishing law and you expect graciousness?

        Are magical invisible green elephants who control the universe from their homes inside doorknobs any less real in the minds of psychopaths in insane asylums?
      • vangard, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1You do know that religion is just a screwed up twisted mess of lies and ignorance that is simply derived from philosophy by dumb religious people, right? I don't care about your philosophical beliefs, just don't believe in a religion. It has no bearing on reality; it's just the collected mythologies, prejudices, and self-righteous platitudes of the ignorant.
        (Disclaimer: I'm actually something of a Deist myself. I don't mean to attack beliefs, only the power-structures and egoism religion, IMHO, engenders)
    • mdcarso, on 02/22/2008, -15/+16Explain the hypocrisy to me:
      If I went off on blacks, gays, or any other group, I would be dugg down and excoriated. Yet so many people on here are viciously intolerant of a religious belief that adherents to the faith hold dear.
      • lowhauler, on 02/22/2008, -5/+22That's because being black or gay isn't a choice. Adhering to a faith, or maybe just to faith, that's a choice. And insisting that your specific beliefs be treated as fact under the law, or killing people because they won't believe what you believe, that's an obnoxious choice.
        • mdcarso, on 02/22/2008, -12/+3Absurd -- Creationists don't declare jihad on heathens and blow them up because they don't believe in the literal 7 days. We don't even do that to other Christians who reject Young Earth Creationism.
          Try again -- that argument holds no water.
          Besides, the question I posted points out the intolerance that you and others allow toward Christians that you wouldn't tolerant against any other group. Especially here on Digg.
        • Daz3, on 02/23/2008, -6/+9It is because Christians (people of all faith) hold a belief about the world that they can't justify, yet they are willing to dedicate their lives to it. Even in the face of contradicting evidence and arguments that conclude God can not exist you will still believe.
          Do you consider that an intellectually honest decision?
          Digg is a refuge for people who mostly respect intellectuals (probably stemming from its tech background).
          Therefore is it any surprise that people who place belief without reason above belief with reason are not welcome here?
          • mdcarso, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Your comment is probably the most intellectually honest one so far: If you don't believe or think like we do, you aren't welcome here.
            Not very tolerant, but at least honest.
          • sodade, on 02/26/2008, -0/+1If you don't think, you aren't welcome here.
            There, fixed that for you....
        • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -4/+2I think too many people were raised a certain religion and then those people defend it with their lives.
      • Fafnir43, on 02/23/2008, -5/+8Because in America, atheists get *****. Regularly, and royally. Religious laws are passed or almost passed to restrict their freedoms for religious reasons (c.f. abortion, gay marriage, intelligent design etc), they have no representation in government (closest thing is Peter Stark, and he "came out" in 2007 after he'd already been elected), they are widely hated and feared (c.f. 45% of all Americans willing to vote for an otherwise qualified atheistic president according to Gallup), and over the last sixty years or so all the trappings of the state have been altered in ways that turn the U.S. into a nation of Christians rather than a nation of people (c.f. under God in pledge of allegiance etc).

        No, not /all/ religious people are to blame for this and it's probably not fair to lash out, but as far as I can see certainly the nice religious people are in the minority in America. Think black people lashing out at white people before desegregation (albeit on a smaller scale).

        Declaration of bias: I am an atheist, but I live in the UK where relations between the religious and the non-religious are considerably friendlier - a lot of my friends are Christians.
        • Tiak, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1While we're at it, let's pull out the statistics and compare atheists with the other groups... 93-99% of Americans are okay with Jews, blacks, and women being in public office, 55% gays, 45% atheists... Or of course, we could go to the percentages that would disapprove of their children marrying atheists (47.6% to the 33.5% of Muslims and 27.2% of blacks)
      • dahlek, on 02/23/2008, -4/+6Religions have a history of intolerance and racism. Is it right for tolerant people to tolerate intolerance? How long ago did the Mormons say blacks were ok? How long ago did Evangelical religions frown on interracial marriage and such? VERY recently.
      • dildoolielly, on 02/23/2008, -4/+7Christians are always trying to ban things and criminalize people they don't agree with. They ban books and televised shows that disagree with their philosophies. They hate Science and Scientific literature that doesn't say the Earth was created 7 thousand years ago. They demonize sex and are more concerned what goes on in other people's bedrooms than their own. Their leaders molest little children and use the Church's money to defend themselves. They love the Iraq war and try to justify it by adding a touch of Christian missionary work to it. They love their booze and guns just as much as their Bibles. They have the highest divorce and murder rates. They are the world's biggest hypocrites.

        Believe whatever you like, but if you want me to believe it then provide evidence or expect mockery and ridicule. Do not expect polite debate. Religion has been given too much liberty to murder and enslave humans while hidden in the garb of "Faith". It and whoever believes it does not deserve to pick the fecal matter from my ass. Politeness is out the door by far by now. I don't give a damn what brand of ***** anyone believes until those beliefs begin to turn into laws and campaign platforms, you've overstepped the boundry separating church from state.

        Thats what happening in this country. Don't expect politeness, Nutbars.
        • funkyjunk3, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1I know christians who vehemently hate the Iraq war, love science, reads books and doesn't go around bible thumping. I believe in god, and yet I cannot imagine a world without science. I would take an assrape from GWB if that would get the USA out of Iraq (I am straight).

          You will find the bible thumping, war mongering, fundamentalist scumbags to be in the MINORITY.
        • mdcarso, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Innacurate: "You will find the bible thumping, war mongering, fundamentalist scumbags to be in the MINORITY." -- I'm fundamentalist but don't back the war.
    • paperclipsNsoup, on 02/22/2008, -7/+3I disagree, religion is fine, extremists are the problem... But thats just human nature... Hence, humans are the problem...


      Hmmm maybe I should have thought this through before I started this comment. No going back now lol
      • Daz3, on 02/23/2008, -4/+6Religion is not fine. Why is it fine to profess an unjustified belief as absolute certainty and then demand that human morality, law and politics bow to the teachings of this unjustified belief?
        • theuncommonman, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2That is not the definition of religion, that is your personal generalization of religious people. I could say similar things about some atheists on digg acting like hypocritical, intolerant douchebags, but I won't because I have more respect for people and their beliefs (or lack thereof) than that.
          • Daz3, on 02/24/2008, -1/+1"a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs."

            That set of beliefs is unjustified, just like I claimed before; that moral code is based on those unjustified beliefs. So tell me how this is my personal generalization or religious people. You could not say the same thing about atheists because we hold beliefs that are justified through logical argument and empirical evidence.
      • darkcthulhu, on 02/23/2008, -3/+4Yeah, religion is the best thing since, uhm, oh yeah, religion does suck.
      • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -4/+3Seriously, Humans need to cut down on the major *****. Its 2008. We're damn near proving beyond a reasonable doubt that their can't be a god. Religion doesn't cohere with any other knowledge at all.
        • mikewill7seven, on 02/23/2008, -6/+4We have damn near disproved that religion is *****, but we can't disprove there is no God.
        • Tiak, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1I don't know why mikewill7seven is being dugg down here (unless it is for the name, then I sympahize)... We can't prove there is no God, and to suggest that we're close would be to trivialize the entire thing... We can't prove that there is no God, and we can't prove that there is a ten billion times scale model of my genitals orbitting alpha centauri.
      • dildoolielly, on 02/23/2008, -4/+4Most of the general criticism isn't directed at moderate or liberal Christians but at the fire and brimstone Fanatics. If you oppose them, then speak up against them. A Good Christian's silence is a tacit approval of these fanatics actions.

        You don't hear many christian leaders speaking out against these issues. In fact most of the christians on television are spouting much the same sort of hate. So they must be speaking for all christians. If you don't like it, speak out against the christian haters, not against the backlash that they create.

        If you aren't an gaybashing hate-mongering Christian, good for you. However, your leaders all are; that's why we generalize, because the face of Christianity in this country is bigoted, anti-science, and repressive in general. Choose better leaders that espouse intelligence and acceptance, and we won't all think you're dumb assholes.
    • dildoolielly, on 02/23/2008, -3/+6Blind faith and refusal to consider people who demand evidence and have beliefs based in science and evidence as humans is probably the scariest ***** in the world. I don't give a damn what brand of ***** anyone believes until those beliefs begin to turn into laws and campaign platforms, then they've overstepped the boundry separating church from state.

      It is a chilling fact that most of the world's leaders believe in nonsensical fairytales about the nature of reality. They believe in Gods that do not exist, and religions that could not possibly be true. We are driven to war after war, violence on top of violence to appease madmen who believe in gory mythologies.These men are called Christians, Muslims and Jews.
  • Falldog, on 02/22/2008, -4/+385I suppose some are having troubles getting to the site. It works just fine for me, but just in case...

    Sometimes it's hard to come up with a full-length, balls-to-the-wall rant, but a lot of "too long for Twitter, too short for a whole post" ideas float in and out of my head all the time. Here's 10 things every adult really ought to know, but a lot of people are apparently just too ***** stupid to figure out:

    1. Having sex can cause pregnancy. This one seems too obvious to mention, but judging from the number of accidental children in the world, I thought it bore repeating. Nothing is 100% effective against pregnancy except abstinence, or the removal of your ovaries or testicles. (Incidentally, abortion is still legal in the US and most of Europe, just in case.)
    2. If you cover your face with piercing jewelry, you may not be able to find a job. This also goes for doing weird things to your hair, and getting tattoos in conspicuous places. And for *****'s sake, don't give me any ***** about "freedom of expression", you little dumbass. You go right ahead and express yourself all you want, but body modification is not a constitutionally protected belief system. They can't not hire you for being a Jew, but they certainly can not hire you for looking like a ***** freak. (caveat: I have both piercings and tattoos … nothing against tattoos, piercings or ***** freaks. Just don't whine about it when you're treated like one.)
    3. It's 2008. Racism is seriously outdated. That means, yes Virginia, it is TOTALLY ***** UNACCEPTABLE to refer to that black guy on TV as a "junglebunny." Also, don't use the word "they" as though black folks are some separate species who all think and act the same way. They're humans, not dogs. And do I really need to remind you that "*****" is a bad word?! Here's a nice rule of thumb for you, dearie: If you wouldn't say it to a black person's face, you probably shouldn't be saying it at all. (For those of you who really don't get it, this also applies to spics, pakis, chinks, gooks, jews, towelheads, and anyone else you care to slander.)
    4. Spontaneous anal sex often involves small amounts of feces. Yes, yes it does. This point is mainly aimed at straight guys, who seem to have a frighteningly widespread lack of understanding on this issue. If you want your backdoor action all nice and sanitary, you need to plan ahead. Buy a little something called an anal douche, and find a way to gracefully suggest she use it before bed if you want a little booty nookie. If you just swap holes in the middle of the action, without such careful forethought, things often get messy … because guys, it's a butt, and [big secret]there's poop in there[/big secret]. And as long as we're on the subject of anal …

    5. Anal sex does not make you gay. Again, for the benefit of you straight boys. Even if you secretly want your girlfriend to bend you over with a strap on, it's OK. You're not gay. You know why? Because you want to be ***** by a girl, not a boy. That's what the whole "gay" thing is about: Liking boys instead of girls. Anal sex is irrelevant.
    6. Marijuana is not a "gateway drug". Oh sure, maybe 99% of "hard" drug users also smoke pot. And maybe a lot of them smoked pot before they got into crack or heroin or whatever. But that's not because the pot made them do it, it's because damn near ***** everyone has smoked pot at some point.
    7. Creationism is *****. Seriously. A big magic guy in the clouds did not wiggle his fingers and create the earth in 6 days. Didn't ***** happen. And I think anyone who professes to believe such a thing ought to be barred from political office. What if there was a religion claiming the world was flat, and the whole "round" thing was just an optical illusion created by God to test our faith? Would ANYONE be suggesting we teach it in schools? Would anyone vote for a politician who claimed to believe it? For *****'s sake, people. It's 2008. We have fossils. We have carbon dating. Get a clue!
    8. You have no right to be proud, unless you did it yourself. That goes for anything from racial pride to patriotism. Your race, gender and nationality are ***** accidents of birth. Being proud of something you got stuck with when mamma squeezed you out is stupid. You have a right to be proud of your own personal accomplishments, and perhaps those of your children (if you were actually a good parent, and your kids didn't succeed by sheer bloody-mindedness alone). That's it. Your parents *****, Mom got knocked up, and ~9 months later, there you were. Race, gender and nationality handed to you out of some cosmic lottery machine. ***** your white pride, black pride, national pride, and all the ***** that goes along with it.
    9. Police and Politicians have a lot in common. Maybe half of them go into their chosen careers wanting to genuinely do good. Save people, and make the world a better place and all that. The other half are greedy, power-hungry *****. And the good half? After a few years on the job, most of them have become so corrupted and/or insulated from the real world, they become vicious, rotten ***** too. You can't trust 90% of either of 'em.
    10. America is not #1. Well, not unless you count military spending and handgun related deaths. We're ***** at public education. Our health care system is both the most expensive and the least effective in the developed world. Literacy, infant mortality, per capita living below the poverty line and/or without any health insurance … etc., etc. We're kind of horrible at a whole lot of things, if you want to be honest about it. We're also, on average, fat as *****.
    • zephyr42, on 02/22/2008, -49/+18I agree with all of the list and believe that the earth is much older than 6k years. HOWEVER, it's a logical fallacy to say carbon dating proves the earth's age. This is because a factor in carbon dating is the age of the original carbon, albeit 6billion or 6thousand. Circular reasoning is bad reasoning.
      • WarpFox, on 02/22/2008, -3/+30Will cosmic red shift work for you then?
      • zmjone2992, on 02/22/2008, -1/+46wrong. radiocarbon dating uses the radioactive half-life, not the age of the original carbon.
        • DarkSamus, on 02/22/2008, -5/+8there's no such thing as half-life, it's just a game dude
          • Fafnir43, on 02/23/2008, -0/+7Sad thing is, I'm not certain that's sarcasm... I weep for my species.
        • Tiak, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Carbon dating requires an estimate of the original composition of the material... Which is what was meant... We don't know how much Carbon-14 was there to begin with, so we don't know how mch has decayed... This is what he meant by age, the percentage that had already gone throgh radioactive decay before the point in time we're trying to date it to.
      • cleverhanz, on 02/22/2008, -2/+41Carbon dating works by dating the amount of carbon 14 in a thing. Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon (normal, common carbon is carbon 12). Carbon 14 is created created when Nitrogen in the upper atmosphere is bombarded by radiation. As soon as it is created it begins to decay. Living things absorb new carbon (including carbon 14) while they are alive, and get rid of it while they are alive too. The ratio of carbon 14 to carbon 12 in a living thing is the same as the ratio in their environment. When they die, they stop absorbing new carbon, but the carbon 14 already in them continues to decay. As time goes on the ratio slips further away from where it began. By measuring that ratio, we can get a very accurate estimate of when something st oped absorbing carbon, i.e. when it died. That is how carbon dating works. It is not circular reasoning. It is sound reasoning that has be proven over and over again.
        • TreatsTheBear, on 02/22/2008, -2/+18Yes, but what makes the carbon 14 decay into carbon 12?
          God does. That's who.
          Obviously.
        • VenDrake, on 02/22/2008, -1/+6Please don't construe this as defense of Creationism. Just pointing out that Radio Carbon Dating isn't as exact as we once thought it was:

          "A raw BP date cannot be used directly as a calendar date, because the level of atmospheric 14C has not been strictly constant during the span of time that can be radiocarbon dated." - Wikipedia
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating#Ca ...
        • elint6, on 02/22/2008, -1/+2@VenDrake. Carbon Dating is VERY effective upto things that died 60,000 years ago. Anything more than that it is useless. Point stands that the world is older than 6,000 years.
          • RealmDown, on 02/22/2008, -0/+4Unless of course God is smarter than we thought and 6000 years ago created a 54,000+ year old earth. :-D
          • Daz3, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3There are other elements that we can use that have a larger half life than carbon, we use these to determine the age of the earth.
          • zmjone2992, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2@RealmDown

            I have actually heard an apologist use this theory. God created an old earth.
          • Tiak, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1I find this more believable than putting billion-year-old streams of light exactly in the right places at least....
        • samboy, on 02/22/2008, -2/+4@VenDrake:
          You left some of the Wiki article out:

          "Standard calibration curves are available, based on comparison of radiocarbon dates of samples that can be independently dated by other methods such as examination of tree growth rings (dendrochronology), ice cores, deep ocean sediment cores, lake sediment varves, coral samples, and speleothems (cave deposits). [...] errors in the calibration curve do not contribute more than ±16 years to the measurement error during the historic and late prehistoric periods (0 - 6,000 yrs BP) and no more than ±163 years over the entire 26,000 years of the curve"

          And, yes, I respect people's right to feel the Earth was created 6,000 years ago.
          • zmjone2992, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1why do you respect that? tolerate would have made more sense.
        • adequateftw, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Thank you!
        • Birdoftruth, on 02/22/2008, -5/+1But to believe that carbon decays at a constant rate for infinity is faith. hence only effective for 60,000 years.
          • bejayel, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Who said is decays at a constant rate for infinity? obviously at some point, there is going to be none left. Its like the bouncing ball example. Theoretically it should be bouncing indefinently but with other factors included, it just cant happen.
          • Daz3, on 02/23/2008, -0/+4There are other elements than carbon that we use for ages about 60000, hence we can tell the age of the earth - off the top of my head it is just over 4 billion years.

            "Rock minerals naturally contain certain elements and not others. By the process of radioactive decay of radioactive isotopes occurring in a rock, exotic elements can be introduced over time. By measuring the concentration of the stable end product of the decay, coupled with knowledge of the half life and initial concentration of the decaying element, the age of the rock can be calculated. Typical radioactive end products are argon from potassium-40 and lead from uranium and thorium decay. If the rock becomes molten, as happens in the Earth's mantle, such non radioactive end products typically escape or are redistributed. Thus the age of the oldest terrestrial rock gives a minimum for the age of the Earth assuming that a rock cannot have been in existence for longer than the Earth itself."
          • zmjone2992, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1every attempt to modify the constant rate at which carbon-14 decays has failed. The most we have modified it is 2%. For the radiocarbon dating to match the "young earth" theory, it would have to at least be modifiable by 200% or more to accelerate it enough to account for the earthy being only 6000 or so years ago.
        • wolferz, on 02/22/2008, -2/+1Niagara falls is older than the planet it sits on... according to creationism. Look it up interesting stuff...

      But one thing that I don't agree with is this whole racism *****. Telling people to stop being racist, and bitching does NOTHING.
      Racism is a product of ignorance or lack of education. You have to educate people, and show them that their race is not 'superior'.

      Everyone is created equal. Slightly different in size, shape, speed, mental capacity (get over, there actually are small differences), strength, color... etc. but ultimately equal.

            as i stated in my ORIGINAL comment that you managed to overlook, all people deserve respect and should respect the differences of others. they are, however, BY DEFINITION not equal. if everyone were equal, this world would be a very dull place indeed. it is our differences that make this world such a vibrant place.
          • Trykt, on 02/22/2008, -2/+2theballdredge, the difference between wolferz and you is that you are being a pedantic douche and he is not. Never speak on this subject again.

          • theballdredge, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1i think part of the discussion that is missing is our definitions of equality.

            it seems to be that you are talking about equality in terms of deserving respect for each other. i agree that we all deserve and should give respect, however i dont believe that comes from being equal.

            if that were the case, people would show similar amounts of repsect to those who commit atrocities (crime bosses, dictators, mass murderes, etc) as to those who commit acts of greatness (MLK, einstein, buffett, etc). nobody sees those people as equals. as such people are not equal. if the rule doesnt apply to the extremes, it isnt a rule.

            deserving of respect and being equal are NOT the same thing.

Because I'm pretty bloody sure that every single belief system on this planet, including but not limited to Christianity, Islam, and atheism [yes, atheism is an explanation of reality based on system of facts and observations, constituting a belief system, where belief is the operative word] has its fair share of radical followers. No matter how true or untrue something is, there's a person out there who can still take it too far.

          • bobthegreat1224, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0Okay, I'll clarify for the obstinate among you.

            You cannot say "There is no God" and back it up with absolute, undeniable proof. It is always still possible, no matter how remote, that a god exists. Dawkins admits this, read his debate in Time magazine with Francis Collins if you don't believe me. Because evolution and the Big Bang theory operate on the inevitability of the statistically improbable given an infinite time expanse and infinite repetition, you have to concede my point unless you're just too bloody stubborn, making you a fanatic (the exact kind of person you're whining about in the first place).

            You can, however, state "I believe that there is no God." Because you are stating what you believe, this is a factual statement. It is also a statement of belief. I say atheism is a belief system because you are synthesizing conclusions from an inconclusive body of facts. As long as there is ANY room for error, a conclusion cannot be certain.

    • dcshiderly, on 02/23/2008, -5/+3WRT #10, specifically education. Due to the universality of U.S. public schools, there's a large social underclass that artificially lowers our scores. In particular, the rest of the First World nations simply don't let their entire student population attend high school like in the US. They have deliberately filtered out the lower two-thirds of the population before the universal standardized scores are taken. We don't. Additionally, if you control for the urban social underclass, say, by sampling states that don't have one (such as Wyoming and Idaho), it turns out that we're actually #2, right behind Singapore. That's right; the state of Iowa ranks ahead of Japan, the UK, France, Germany, and everyone else except Singapore.
      This doesn't mean the US gets a pass; we still need to find a real solution for the students the system lets down, unfortunately parental involvement plays a big part in this and they're singularly difficult to motivate.

        • SirNixalot, on 02/22/2008, -1/+3Yeah sexual stimulation, just in a gay way... That doesn't make it GAY, right?
    • BruceDude, on 02/22/2008, -14/+4Hmm. Phallic objects in my rectum? No thank you.
      Phallic: The word phallus can refer to an erect penis, to a penis-shaped object such as a dildo, or to a mimetic image of an erect penis.

      That's pretty gay.
      • bovilexia, on 02/22/2008, -1/+11so as long as it's not penis shaped, it's not gay to stick object in your rectum. i don't exactly see that line of thinking. you are too stuck on the "shape of penis thing." it's just anal stimulation. the male g spot is prostate gland which can be stimulated through the rectum.
        • BruceDude, on 02/22/2008, -6/+299% of dildos are penis shaped.

          When someone says dildo, there's a pretty god chance they mean: 'Penis shaped piece of plastic'.


          Plastic penis in a man's ass is very wrong.
          Unless the dude is gay. Then its okay.
          • bovilexia, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2like i said before your are stuck on the penis shaped part of it and not the sexual stimulation part. are all lesbians who use strap-ons and dildos straight? let me give you a hint, the answer is no. they do it because it feels good, not because the object is shaped like a penis.
      • lowhauler, on 02/22/2008, -0/+8So, let me get this straight: It's not gay to ***** someone between the toes or in the armpit, it's not gay to cum from getting whipped, or pissed on, or from ***** a female ass, the thousands of variations of sexual fascination available in exhaustive detail and diversity for easy perusal on the web--none of these things certifies you as gay, but this one thing--this ONE THING--getting ***** up the ass by something longer than it is wide, that's gay.
        Get out of your tiny little het stall, take off the blinders, and look around. People are inventive, people are bored, people are ***** sexual.
    • bovilexia, on 02/22/2008, -4/+48it's not really gay if you consider the fact that the prostate gland is basically the male g sport.

    • rossisdead, on 02/22/2008, -4/+46If you wanna ***** a girl in the ass, does that mean you secretly want to ***** a dude in the ass?
      If a girl sucks your dick, does that mean you secretly want a dude to suck your dick?

      No? Then how does having a girl, one you probably find hot cause she's got boobs and a vagina, using a strapon to ***** you in the ass make you suddenly want a guy to do you in the ass? Oh that's right, it doesn't.

      Let it be known that I'm gay, and I have no desire to ***** a woman in the ass or let a woman suck my dick. A hole may be a hole but I'm not attracted to what its attached to.

    • BabyWookie, on 02/22/2008, -1/+20There are no "gay" sex acts. The only thing that makes you gay is being sexually attracted to men.

      • diskit, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2Does that mean women who are sexually attracted to men are gay???

  • atdigg, on 02/22/2008, -11/+102I like this one:

    You have no right to be proud, unless you did it yourself. That goes for anything from racial pride to patriotism. Your race, gender and nationality are ***** accidents of birth. Being proud of something you got stuck with when mamma squeezed you out is stupid. You have a right to be proud of your own personal accomplishments, and perhaps those of your children (if you were actually a good parent, and your kids didn't succeed by sheer bloody-mindedness alone). That's it. Your parents *****, Mom got knocked up, and ~9 months later, there you were. Race, gender and nationality handed to you out of some cosmic lottery machine. ***** your white pride, black pride, national pride, and all the ***** that goes along with it.
    • PhantomRogue, on 02/22/2008, -20/+1Being Proud is the best thing in the ***** world. But Pushing your Pride on others is stupid.

      • spongya77, on 02/22/2008, -0/+11Being proud makes you arrogant, and that leads to many nasty things. Like bringing democracy into the Middle East.

I think its ok to develop national pride (or lose it), because a nation can change (right, America?)... the other stuff though, if you can't change it, and it doesn't change on its own, don't be proud of it or you commit yourself to being a retard. IE: I'm so proud to be human... I'm so proud to be left handed...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pride, as phantom rogue stated there is only a problem with pushing that pride onto other people. Being proud of your own accomplishments ALONG with the accomplishments of your ancestors is one of those little things that makes life worth living. As long as your aren't an arrogant prick who tries to shove your pride into another person's face, pride is a beautiful thing and a tremendous source of self-worth.

The undergraduate training here is a disgrace. Sure, Harvard kick ass, but I have to confess: the average American universities are nothing compared to the European ones. Students can't read complex sentences, cannot interpret the meaning of what they read, not to mention the complete lack of critical thinking. The science they are taught in undergrad courses is high-school level in European standards. The whole educational system is in ruins. And yes, in the graduate training the majority of the students are international.

      • Mesmorize, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1You know nothing about the education system I see. There are over 5,000 universities in the US.
  • Zipko, on 02/22/2008, -2/+62“Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.”
    • jpotell, on 02/22/2008, -2/+1Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
      When you grow up, when you grow up
      Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
      It sucks pretty bad right now.

      You're gonna end up smoking crack, on your back, face the fact.
      You're gonna end up hooked on smack, and then you're gonna die.

      And then you're gonna die-ie-ie-ie-ie.

      Something for the kids!

      "True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend."
    • BigBallistix, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1Reminds me of the movie Weirdsville. Anyone seen it? It has midgets in chain-mail.
    • krete, on 02/23/2008, -0/+5Best comment I've read in weeks.
      • Zipko, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1It sounds much better hearing Leary say it. Kind of like a George Carlin joke, they're funny but the delivery is what really puts a good joke over the top.
  • thed0ct0r, on 02/22/2008, -0/+11very george carlin
    • bingobongony, on 02/22/2008, -4/+1No...it is not. Apparently you hate George Carlin and think he is a 12 year old. Making points in a angry tone does not make you George Carlin.
      • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Well, That's a damn good thing, because that's definitely not what this guy did.
  • jayhawk88, on 02/22/2008, -2/+428. You have no right to be proud, unless you did it yourself. That goes for anything from racial pride to patriotism. Your race, gender and nationality are ***** accidents of birth. Being proud of something you got stuck with when mamma squeezed you out is stupid. You have a right to be proud of your own personal accomplishments, and perhaps those of your children (if you were actually a good parent, and your kids didn't succeed by sheer bloody-mindedness alone). That's it. Your parents *****, Mom got knocked up, and ~9 months later, there you were. Race, gender and nationality handed to you out of some cosmic lottery machine. ***** your white pride, black pride, national pride, and all the ***** that goes along with it.
    This one would seriously solve 90% of the worlds problems if everyone believed it.
    • PoorDiogenes, on 02/22/2008, -1/+11Also, no one would watch sports?
      • sport11rocks, on 02/22/2008, -1/+9***** Sports!
      • Daz3, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1I watch sports with very little national pride, I watch sports to admire the skill on offer and perhaps learn from it myself. I do not watch sport to dogmatically support one team.

  • EmancipatedJake, on 02/22/2008, -17/+17These lists are just really stupid, someone gets really high (some how) and becomes infected with megalomania and writes a list about life because for some reason they think everybody in the world will become enlightened by their wisdom delivered in the form of a list on the international interweb. My advice is for those is to get out of the clouds and if you wish to deliver you "insight" to the world then produce it in a differnt format, media, venue, or form so that you don't clog up the international interweb with mediocre content.
    • EtherBunny, on 02/22/2008, -5/+4I hid your comment because YOUR content is mediocre.
    • amtrakattack, on 02/22/2008, -1/+2Aren't you expressing an opinion just like the guy in TFA? You know, giving advice?
    • Daz3, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1"international interweb"
      Please do not call it that.
    • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0The only thing bad about this advice is the fact that the people who need it aren't the ones listening, Its the ***** who's girlfriend will get pregnant the second week he meets her who needs to listen. "But no, hes a geek".
    • ogre2112, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2Bitter much?
    • milliamp, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2"if you wish to deliver you "insight" to the world then produce it in a differnt format, media, venue, or form"
      Said the pot to the kettle..
  • Andia83, on 02/22/2008, -0/+11http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtfQg4KkR88

    I thought it was appropriate... go ahead and bury me if you must.
  • EnderMB, on 02/22/2008, -9/+8Another ***** list by someone who wants a bitch but has no one to listen to it other than a computer. Every adult already knows these things, but their judgement and will gets in the way of it.
    • nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Don't take this the wrong way, but

      "DUUUHHHHHH"

      Now that i'm done with that, maybe you'll realize that its just a "Reality Check" sort of thing. Of course people will still mess this up! It has to do with there judgment. Of course, You probably already knew that, seeing how quickly you decided that he was a geek. Your writing comments on Digg. For the last time people, If your writing comments on digg about how geeky they are when they're using a blog... Your an *****.
      • EnderMB, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1I'm guessing that you own a Blog too then...

        Blogs are just grown up girls diaries, and 99.999% of them are worthless.
  • gardnmi, on 02/22/2008, -0/+6They....RIP 2/22/08
    • dorkino, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2No worries. "They" is still used in place of "their" in ebonics.
  • pdensborn, on 02/22/2008, -1/+9Also, don't make top ten lists unless your server can handle being dugg.
  • alkajazz, on 02/22/2008, -12/+3Ron paul?
  • iucraigmc, on 02/22/2008, -11/+6More spurts of ignorance... other than 1, 2 and 3.
  • arplayer2k, on 02/22/2008, -3/+5LOL. This is really funny stuff and apparently, realistically speaking, goes over the head of a lot of people or never reaches there. Dugg for not so obvious, common sense.
  • lazyslacker, on 02/22/2008, -13/+40I agree with every single one of those, and they're funny, except #
