Seems like so much self-hatred, when he's forced out of the closet I'll be surprised NOT a bit.
No.COULDN'T care less.
It's I couldn't care less.
It's called "sarcasm", wise guy.Yes. If you could care less, then you still have some care left. In other words, saying you could care less means you care.

Crappy actor. Crappy theologian. Any other profession you'd like to try, Kirk?
Toff's fallacy.
Idioms are correct as figures of speech.
'Could care less' is a perfectly good idiom precisely because it doesn't make sense as written, but is well understood in usage.
Agreed that a lot of things 'sound wrong'. It took me a long time to get used to some of them, even after they were accepted as correct.I guess language evolves but its still a very irritating phrase that seems to originate from ignorance. I guess "rediculous" is acceptable too since it gets used so often?
I rather like David Mitchell's little rant on the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om7O0MFkmpw
And just to keep on topic; I could care less about Kirk Cameron's rediculous views![]()
We shall all suffocate in a sea of scatter cushions and Take That CDs. Oops, here comes a well-aimed scatter cushion!So when is he going to tell us how they will destroy civilazation?
does it have something to do with cappacino and over priced hair cuts

Who?
Kirk, your god is an emotionally stunted, anachronistic ass who is more akin to a plague on humanity than a loving father.
Grow some balls and stop worshiping it.
Kirk said:“I believe marriage was defined by God. Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the Garden between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don’t think anyone else should either. "
I do agree that getting him to say exactly what silly reason gay marriage will destroy civilization is one route to go. Personally, I would have followed up by saying "I know many fundamentalists who use those exact same words to explain why interracial marriage is a violation of God's Holy Laws. Do you agree with those folks?"
And more than likely, you might get an affirmative answer.
The romantic mariage as we know it is relatively recent AFAIWT. Before it wsa more or less used to make sure of inheritance , and before that it was secular, and before that it was between any number of man and woman, even between men. His conception of mariage is actually very recent and very unusual in history of humanity or even christianty.
