…wearin’ them short skirts n’ all. I’m actually really surprised when I hear people use that argument. It’s horribly disgusting and makes the men of our species out to be primitive primates who are unable to control any urge that runs through their bodies. I understand, we bitches be hot, … Continue reading
CFI Sponsored… Rave?
So… I had to go to the Center for Inquiry in Toronto the other day to pick some stuff up… and we all know the kinds of events and stuff that go on at CFI. There are debates, book clubs, comedy shows and “parties”. So when I saw a colourful … Continue reading
Hotdocs Toronto
For all those in the Toronto area the Hotdocs Film Festival starts up again on Thursday. I’m only going to make it out to one movie this week but there are quite a few that might interest readers here. I’m going to see New Castle, about some Chinese labour and … Continue reading
Vote! But also watch Mortal Kombat
I’d like to take a break from all this political chit chat and encourage you to do something before or after you go out and vote – watch Mortal Kombat Legacy! (In which Sonja is the only character whose physical appearance is affected by time.) My absolute favorite Canadian actor, … Continue reading
Are the skeptical women overreacting?
There has been some chatter on the blogosphere regarding the picture of Brian Dunning and the naked babe seen above, most notably from Surly Amy at Skepchick (which has a fun new design). The post, but more so the commenters, are cite Dunning’s past where he’s been overly arrogant, dismissive … Continue reading
Debate: Living Without the Sacred
“Should John Lennon’s “Imagine” Become Our Reality? TVO’s BIG IDEAS will be co-sponsoring a debate between Canadian philosopher Ronald de Sousa and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson.” On Tuesday I went to the CFI, TVO and University of Toronto Secular Alliance’s debate on living with(out) the sacred. I will interject … Continue reading
Chinese Ghost Cities
In February Brian Dunning did a post “discussing” China’s so-called “ghost cities”. The media has been calling them “ghost cities”, but that sort of implies that someone used to live in it and they are now haunting an empty area. However, the cities have never actually been populated and can … Continue reading
Better Approach to the Whole-Life Expo
The last time I wrote about CFI and the Whole Life Expo it was an intolerant and unproductive visit with insults and accusations spewing for both sides of the ring that were all silly and immature on one level or another. However on CFI’s Youtube channel, Think Again, they have … Continue reading
Sister Wives
I overheard a couple girls on the subway talking about how open relationships are so “weird” and “gross” and then comparing them to polygamist marriages found in certain sects of the Mormon church. I only caught the tail end of their conversation but they essentially concluded that they were all … Continue reading
Feminist Hoopla
Jen’s Blag Hag blog (origin of boobquake) is great. While the content is generally atheistic today it was overrun by talk of feminism and asshole-ary. It started with a guest post (that a lot of people in comment threads have mistakenly said was written by Jen herself) by Sharon Moss and … Continue reading
