you don't offend brah
I think your'e funnier than a barrel of monkeys (most times)
and a good guy
just trying to help
it sounds elitist when some
think others are less capable (of making the RIght decisions)
how would we know how cool the monkey is,
if we were just like him?
beliefs (everybodies got em)
science is a belief
but I think more believe in some kind of religion
niether makes either the right one
don't be too set in your ways
and a lot less strife will follow (personal expierence)
power hungry zealots will always be with us
you won't tho

well, I think I most certainly fall into the elitist camp at times. The rabid quest for knowledge of my youth has kind of materialized into a cynical realization of the sad state of affairs of things and general disdain for the overt stupidity of others. At times I wish I could try out the whole ignorance is bliss thing for awhile, I think it would be pretty liberating really. Just to look at something and say "huh, that doesn't look right but I'm sure its fine"
I think it doesn't help matters much that I work in the environmental consulting/ land use development field. The religion thing though, I've had some pretty frightening experiences with religious zealots and I'm married to a jewish woman who's mothers side of the family was wiped out during the holocaust. I do realize that there are allot of decent people that believe in god and go to church and actually help allot of people in need through their local churches. I guess what makes me nervous is a staunch belief in something that can not be proven/disproven.
Great, now I've fucked up the u-tube thread.

Yeah, Monkeyboy has some good points.
You can believe whatever you want as long as you don't impose that shit on others. Unfortunately, too many religious kooks just can't keep it to themselves. Plenty of good religious people out there, just recently the a-holes have been trying to take over and making a scary amount of progress.
I also can't stand when people try to group science and religion. Science tries to understand and explain the world we live in based on OBSERVING it. Whether you want to believe that god created it or not is up to you. When you can set up an experiment to demonstrate why your religion is true and others are fake I'll be happy to revisit the situation.
Rant over. No need to discuss this any further since it'll probably just degrade into meaningless babble and I'd hate to mess up this thread. I just had to chip in my 2 cents.
To make up for my digression here's how much Chuck Norris kicks ass!
I just found Jesus!! Seriously, we should round up all the people like that and send them to the moon to breed.
perhaps you are a bigot
I think intolerance is
intolerable
kinda like sending the people who don't vote with you to a state of thier own?
I heard intelligent? people saying that also during the last election ,
everybody is entitled to thier opinion,, still
I hope
just like you
pmb, to be called a bigot for some off color joke at the main board is regrettable. But to be called a bigot on an off topic board like "best of utube" where only the most hard core serious peeps can get offended is a f#ing achievement
