Re: Loony Protesters
Have you never heard of the Westboro Baptist Church and the Fred Phelps clan before?
No, I live in a cave.
I cant say I have, I am guessing they are a group of funeral crashing protesters??
We had a group of people here that protested at the adult book store when it first opened, they got bored I guess. My county is uber religious, the local churches got rid of both our topless bars, and we now have ordinances that are so strict that no one would even try to open a new one. 25 miles away you can go to a full nude juice bar in the next county. Got a dry county to my south, in 2011...lol..go figure

Funny protests
Well a year ago a few Gypsies protested in front of our town hall demanding that the county provides them with watter or new apartments, Their houses where built illegally whiteout a permit and everybody has-to pay for electricity, water and stuff like that to be brought to their home.
If it where up to me id call the nearest bulldozer to plow down their houses and send them the bill.
A noter group of gypsies protested against a minister by naming a piglet after him and eating him afterwards.
and this guy who holds the record of protests a day

Blonde joke
Not So Dumb Blonde
A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Los Angeles to New York.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer
persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me five dollars, and vice versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
"Okay," says the lawyer, "your turn."
She asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"
The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references ... no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress ... no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers but to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.

Re: Loony Protesters
In his youth (1930's), for a short time my father did some driving for a local bootlegger. They were in a dry county and the bootlegger supplied that dry county with booze. Whenever a vote would come up for making the county wet, the biggest supporter for keeping it dry was the bootlegger. Legally available booze would be bad for business.

Kant
A rant about Kant
Neven Sesardic
(Lingnan University, Hong Kong: sesardic@ln.edu.hk)
Among philosophers it’s a unique case
that someone lived in just one place.
Knigsberg is his town of birth,
and where he was buried into earth.
Despite this poor knowledge base
he had strong views on time and space,
on substance, world, and nature’s laws,
for which he received much applause.
Three books (all called the same)
contributed to his fame.
Which ones? Well, all agree:
the Critique one, and two, and three.
Let’s start with the Critique one.
Alas, reading it, is not much fun.
The style of writing is very dry.
As for its content, it makes me cry.
It claims that knowledge most refined
is only about the human mind.
It’s necessary and a priori
if seen (as it should be) with inner eye.
It’s all established with intuitions,
and some pretty atrocious definitions.
He loved long words with Latin flavor,
which later, thank God, fell out of favor.
Our sage insisted that space is flat,
Yet science today is rejecting that.
What he declared necessarily true
is in fact contingentand false, too!
Kant spent most time in dogmatic slumber,
wake-up calls reaching a wrong number.
At last awoken by David Hume,
soon he was again snoring in his room.
Now to the Critique number two.
Once more, it’s not a pretty view.
With a new trick up his sleeve,
pops up categorical imperative.
Beside urging us to stand in awe
before the heavens and moral law,
he asserts that ethics norms
directly follow from empty forms.
And that the whole system of morality
springs from a rule that’s content-free.
Wow, I just can’t see how that could be,
perhaps Kant is not my cup of tea.
The third Critique, a tough cookie,
for an expert and for rookie.
In fact, to be quite sincere,
why the old man wrote it, is unclear.
No one can agree on what it says,
For most it’s all just fog and haze.
I read it few times, with no success,
each time I understood it less and less.
Now it’s best to end this rant
and sum up the judgment about Kant.
So what’s achieved in his three critiques?
With all due respect: fiddlesticks!
Reminds me of the existence topic....a lot.
