What's extra funny is that it took about two minutes of looking at the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal to find those supposedly nonexistent photographs of grinning frogmen helping crewmen as they clambered out of the floating CMs. But, when you're a troll, making yourself look like an idiot is just part of a day's "work", and P1k/fd/DT/etc. does that work very well.

Books? How the **** do they work?
 
Response to a CNN science report validating the speed of light as a constant.

Time and distance are human measurements. Traveling faster doesn't mean you will age slower. The universe doesn't care how fast your going. Your going to age at the same rate as if you were standing still. It's like people are saying there is a magical barrier called the speed of time. People forget time is based on the earth traveling around the sun and the math isn't perfect for that. the prof is Leap Year.

While he got it horribly wrong to start with, a few posts down he thanked the person that corrected him for the good explanation. Should that count in his favor?

I'm inclined to give him points since we don't know his age/education level.

CTists don't like reading things. When JamesB was debating Jason Bermas every time JamesB brought up a document or a book as evidence Bermas would complain, "There probably aren't any pictures!" and that was his argument for dismissing the evidence.

I've never had my ass kicked so I don't know if the trade off would be worth it but, screw it, count me in too.
 
The TV show, The Big Bang Theory, is a massive social engineering program to "emasculate masculinity and to masculinize femininity":
http://hawaiianlibertarian.blogspot.com/2012/03/tellavision-programming.html

A Social Engineering PROGRAM to emasculate masculinity and to masculinize femininity.

Modeled gender dysfunction that exerts it's insidious influence on the unsuspecting and unaware viewer.

Monkey see, monkey do.

For the "red pill" viewer, I found that I don't even have to think about it anymore, I instantaneously identify the subtexts, themes, and subversive dialogs designed to subtly influence the viewer as I watch it. Once you recognize the processes used to subconsciously influence the viewer's mind, it loses it's power to influence you.

Now, the idea for this post has been stewing in my mind for quite awhile now...after having viewed a few episodes, I already knew I'd eventually get to a point where a blog post would almost write itself....and today is that day. So the first thing I did was search for an image of the show's cast to use, which brought me to this blog post by some guy I've never heard of before, Jamey Stegmaier: Why I stopped Watching the Big Bang Theory, and Why You Should Too.

He makes some good points...on one level, he recognizes a few of the negative PROGRAMMING aspects of the show - behaviors and dialogs that contribute to the continually declining state of our society -the wanton cruelty, narcissism, solipsism and general nastiness the characters abuse each other with for the viewers humor.

Stegmaier's main point focuses on the show's protagonist, Sheldon Cooper:

The problem is that Sheldon’s quirks–all of which are disruptive and unkind–are written for laughs. The writers are saying, “It’s okay to be rude and inconsiderate, because really it’s funny! Really!” If you watch Sheldon too much, you will find yourself (either outloud or in your inner monologue) correcting people for the most inane things. A friend will say, “Now that everyone’s here, let’s get started,” and you will mumble in response, “Well, technically, everyone’s not here, because ‘everyone’ infers that all humans are here, and not only are not all humans here, but if they were here, they couldn’t fit into this pitiful excuse for a living room.”

Cue laughtrack.

That’s my main point. Sheldon is a terrible example for a person, a friend, and an inner monologue. He makes the show, but he also makes it a terrible show.

I agree with Stegmaier that the character of Sheldon makes the show (in most scenes, Sheldon demonstrates the concept of maintaining a very strong frame), but his verbal cruelty is hardly the worst thing...after all, every character in the show engage in personal nastiness and cruelty in nearly every scene. That's par for the course in all network TV sitcoms since Married With Children became a smash hit in the 90's. From Seinfeld, to Friends, to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the sitcom genre of cruel humor at character's expense has become a staple of the genre for close to 20 years now.

Of course, while I agree with Stegmaier that immersing yourself into a Tell-A-Vision PROGRAM that normalizes interpersonal degradation and cruelty is corrosive to your personal attitude and can influence your real life relationships, the entertainment value cannot be denied...in the same way watching people die on TV can certainly be riveting entertainment.

Many of the putdowns, insults and double entendres in the shows script are clever and funny, which is of course what makes it so subversive and corrosive...and contributes to the coarsening of the culture at large. But Stegmaier is clueless to the deeper subversion found in the PROGRAM....Brave New World Order gender and sexual morality programming.

Ha, ha, ha...

Prompted this response from SpringHallConvert:

"documents"

"findings" (that one is my favorite)

"witness testimonies"

Now that's conclusive evidence!

There are enough stundies in their FAQ to supply this forum with nominations until the day one of them walks of the edge of the earth.

Q: "Please explain sunrises and sunsets."

A: It is a perspective effect. The sun is just getting farther away: it looks like it is disappearing because everything gets smaller, and eventually disappears as it gets farther away.

Are children really small or just far away?
