Last week also offered an unusually large crop of really bad posts that, I believe, deserve a thread of their own. These are just bizarrely poor, people. Maybe we should take a vote on which one is the worst.
I had no interest in watching Noah until I read the linked review. Now I think I really need to see it.
I didn’t know people still wrote such viciously anti-Semitic posts. And I don’t care what made the self-hating Jew of the author become so vile. This is unacceptable irrespective of reasons.
Atheists who claim they are morally superior to religious people are idiots. Just like the religious people who claim that they are morally superior to atheists.
A completely ridiculous and disgusting reaction to an even more ridiculous and disgusting reaction to the death of Fred Phelps. Just look at the picture. It almost made me barf.
It is sad that nobody is telling this obviously disturbed person to take his or her obsessive and very unhealthy posts on the TV show Friends to a therapist.
I shouldn’t go for the really low-hanging fruit but here is something recent from Juan Cole: “So Obama denied the premises of Romney’s perspective. Russia, he said, is a narrow Eastern European issue, not a globe-straddling one. In this regard Obama is certainly correct. Romney and other hawks appear to want to resurrect the Cold War.” Oh, Lordy. Or if “Romney” is Putin’s nickname, then I apologize.
“One way of escaping the current American nightmare and of redefining the American Dream is to get rid of the bosses—such that workers can become their own bosses.” The quoted person is a college professor, in case you are wondering.
A completely ridiculous and offensive attempt to excuse the murder of a young woman. I literally couldn’t fall asleep for hours after I made the mistake of reading this garbage article.
From Shakesville: “Every person in this video is thin. There isn’t a fat person to be seen. This is because images of thin people are supposed to be aspirational for fat people, and because the weight loss industry is explicitly eliminationist: The stated objective is to get rid of fat people.” I’m starting to think she is writing all this to make fun of the idiots who giver her money.
And from the same blog, a really shocking post that seems, at first, to be about a horrifying case where a child rapist receives no punishment for his crime because he’s rich but that, at the end, is revealed to be all about using this tragic story to excuse another child abuser.
What’s worse, another blogger decided that this was a cute trend to join and also used the same raped child to excuse a child abuser. What’s wrong with people?
Feel free to share things that appalled and shocked you recently.
