Once and a while, the mainstream media picks up and follows the release of a particular video game because of its impact on society. Such is the case with any entry of the Grand Theft Auto series. IV, which is actually the eighth title of the popular anti-hero series, was released at the […]

As longtime readers know, I’m no fan of Marc Emery, the self-styled “prince of pot”. Emery has built an entire career around avoiding personal responsibility and so I was quite surprised when I found his article on the Western Standard website to be so well-written and at the same time so personal. Unlike […]

Finally, the proof that I’ve been looking for all along. Why didn’t you atheist dudes tell me about this? After all, isn’t this specimen the sort of definitive and uncompromising link that has long been touted as the object which separated the educated and enlightened from the ignorant and self-deceiving. Consider me […]

Second-highest gross earnings for a documentary in its opening weekend! (the #1 spot goes to Michael Moore’s movie that glorifies the Canadian health care system as being efficient…). Well at least that aliens seeding our genetic guts on the backs of crystals theory is getting a nice bit of exposure; thanks Richard Dawkins!

Something rare happened over the course of the last week for me: I struggled to write a post for this website. I knew what I wanted to write on, and some points that I wanted to make, yet discussing the Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed! documentary (now in theatres across America) has yielded more reaction […]

9:40 pm — I think I looked outside at one point during the 8 o’clock hour to see if the cityscape changed here; it didn’t. Lights of businesses, houses and cars were still on. So I’m not even sure if this whole thing went ahead outside of the urbane, advanced city cores of […]

Google’s Chief Executive Eric Schmidt, had this to say about Microsoft’s attempts to acquire Internet giant, Yahoo:
“We would be concerned by any kind of acquisition of Yahoo by Microsoft,” Chief Executive Eric Schmidt told reporters.
“We would hope that anything they did would be consistent with the openness of the Internet, but I doubt it would […]

The other day I posted a piece on how no one can say for certain that there is no God without stepping into the arena of faith. Some commentators pointed out that an Atheist can be uncertain on whether there is a God or not, but can believe that there is no sufficient evidence […]

I was reading through Ezra’s blog last night to see if he bothered to dignify Warren Kinsella’s latest rants on him (he didn’t, thankfully!), and came across an extremely interesting post by the author from a few days ago. As nice as it was to see that there are still a few (sadly a […]

I am not against higher education, but I am against universities. What is meant by this is quite simple: universities, a product of the high middle ages (12th century A.D.) have changed somewhat from their early pioneers, but their structure has grown stale and become more of a hindrance to providing our society with […]
