So many nutters around at the moment...
Spot the difference: Female world leaders 'Photoshopped' out of Paris rally picture
An Israeli newspaper has been criticised for allegedly editing Angela Merkel and other women from a line-up of 40 world leaders, photographed in Paris on Sunday
Israeli newspaper The Announcer (HaMevaser) — a conservative orthodox Jewish publication- stands accused of Photoshopping women out of the picture.
The women seemingly removed are German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and EU foreign affairs and security chief Frederica Mogherini. Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt has been cropped, so that only her hand remains in shot, on the picture’s far left.
In 2011, New York paper Di Tzeitung removed Hillary Clinton (then Secretary of State) from the famous White House situation room image, taken during the mission to kills Osama bin Laden It was forced to apologise, after claiming it was editorial policy not to publish pictures of women on the grounds of ‘modesty’.

Modesty/misogyny - easy mistake for them to make.

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Re: Loonies Unlimited
These guys are going to provide us with more loonies than we can count.
Yup, a Climate Change Denier Will Oversee NASA. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
This seems to be a theme.
Yes, this does seem to be a world-wide phenomenon. Humanity will reap its reward and it will not be pretty.

Re: Loonies Unlimited
The scary thing is that people like Faith want a world calamity and will do anything to help it along. THere are a lot of people like that in positions of power around the world. The US government is rife with career bureaucrats right out of Regent and Liberty law schools.

Re: Loonies Unlimited
Wonderful. Expecting a calamity is now wanting a calamity. Believe it or not I pray that it will not come about, or at least that God will give us time to try to change things.

Are snowmen a big problem in Saudi Arabia? I can't imagine they're rife.

Seems to be a snowy year in the northern provinces. I have seen snow in Jerusalem before, matter of fact I think they had a bit last week.

Re: Loonies Unlimited
Maybe your God could just ease up on the calamity?

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Under-educated and proud of it?
Rather an indictment of the education system, or rather lack of it.

And adults ... especially ones that watch QVC for information
Really, the state of education in the US is abysmal.

Of the American Family Association.
Well, she's performed a careful analysis of Obama's language in his State Of The Union address, and she's come up with something very "interesting" ...
The other thing he said that I caught, he has done this before, you know there are five pillars of Islam, and he used the term ‘pillars’ again in his speech last night. [...] It is just really interesting, language can actually give us some insight, choices of words.
I'm not saying that these people are actually paranoid schizophrenics: if they were, it would be cruel to make fun of them. I'm just saying that they reason exactly as though they were paranoid schizophrenics.
