About gender
Male and female isn't defined by genitals, it's defined by gametes. Males produce sperm, females produce eggs.
Suck on that Social Justice tumblrfags.
"In the Beginning, the Earth was perfect in its Form. Forged from powder, brass, and empty magazines, bullets grew from the scorched, burnished turf like grass, and trees made of cannon and shell sprung branches of rifles, from which leaves of pistols swayed when the carbonic air blew in bursts of muzzle wind. Rivers of lubricant oil flowed underground, surging through explosions of white phosphorus and depleted uranium. Clouds of CS and mustard gas drifted through the sky, occasionally raining down upon the metallic creatures whose bodies were crafted from gas blocks, barrels and springs held together with rails, whose movements were powered by the constant detonation of cartridges loaded into their sections of their form. There was fire, and light, and heat, and choking death, and from these Man was formed. As it was in the Beginning, so shall it be in the End."
"Life was brought upon the earth from the providence of the Stars, and where a Star fell to earth, life began as a shadow in the light and flame. Alone, It bore unto itself two children, who bore children of their own, and they found to their liking the warmth of the fire and the purity of the light. The shadow took forms, each child finding itself, and seeking again the light and warmth of the Star from which they came. From this shadow were begot the life of the world, born again and again, into the burning crucible, forged into hard, living forms by the dangers of this world. No longer mere shadows, they hungered as beasts and grew fangs and claws to rend their prey. Born again and again, each forbearer begot grander children, or they were broken upon the anvil of this world. From these came Man; and he saw beyond this cycle, his eyes gazing toward the light, seeking the Truth of the Stars. It was not Man who first saw this path; for all creatures strive toward it blindly, hunting, seeking, their every fiber drawn towards this light, but it was Man who first strode upon the path with his intent in mind. And so he was begotten with children and given dominion across the land, and from the hands of Men were borne great works, expressions of their quest to seek the Truth, to seek perfection."
"Man howled into the fire of this world; casting himself against every land, every danger, his will indomitable, unbroken by ice, nor fire, nor mountain, nor sea; and he was pleased. But then, a child of Man claimed answers; claimed to have sought and found the Truth. His words; falsehoods spoken out of delusion or deceit, bore a seed of doubt within Mankind; as soon many others spoke of Truths, of answers. And Man bore anger against Man, his hands raised, his weapons drawn for war. The slaughter killed many, and the cycle of war, of deceit and doubt, and of death brought Man again to the level of mere beasts, casting them away from the path towards Truth, towards the Star from whence he came."
"It is this cycle that must be broken, for a Man to be free. And a Man is only free when he sheds the lies of others, when he may bring to himself the means of his own life, and protect it from those who would take it; be they beast, or Man. It is this that must be held above all else, not as a Truth, but as the surest way to seek it upon firm ground, for to seek the Truth is the mission of every child of Man; not to find it, or to keep it, or to hold it, but to tread upon the path which leads us ever closer towards it. And in this quest, every child of Man must ready himself to protect his journey, and the journey of others, with words, with their will, and with the weapons of war. For to stand as a temple, a paragon of the path to Truth and Light is the truest form of virtue; not to kill for the sake of it, but to instead protect in Its Name. To be as a temple to the path to Truth, one must make their body and mind ready for this journey every day. The body must be swift and supple, great in its strength and keen in the use of the weapons of war. The mind must be equally strong, yet open and seeking; always looking for the untraveled, the unspoken, the unknown; for it is within these that the path towards the Truth most often lies."
"And the Truth, the Star, now hath founds Itself in our hands, as we were once in Its hands. Nex Alea, the Truth, the Star, the Murdercube, Gunfather, Allslayer, Godbreaker, Monolith, Apedemak, Mixcoatl, Belatucadros, Guan Yu, Horus, Ares, Kali, Belus, Ullr, Lua. Doubtless, it has gone by many names, most of which have been lost to the ages. It is a universal constant, materializing at some point in every society’s history, vanishing only when every living creature on Its host world had ceased to exist. It demands that violence occur, without heed to reason, scale or consequence. It is never appeased, and cannot be destroyed. Nex Alea is a culmination of all human conflict, strife and warfare that has ever occurred or ever will occur. It tells stories of death, murder and vicious fighting, of honor and chivalry, of treason and betrayal. Of Humanity. It does not require worship, It does not want your adulation."
"The true form of Nex Alea is a gigantic cube composed of all the weapons of Man, everything from the first club to the most recently loaded round of ammunition; all these are represented in the Monolith. The combined fleets of the world lay embedded in titanic seas of ammunition, bombs, and rifles, which are interspersed by tanks, aircraft, even the nuclear warheads of the world are there. Anything that was ever used or created to do harm and make war is there, recorded in the monolithic prismatic bulk. If one were to enter into Nex Alea, through the thousands of irregular fissures and grottos on Its sides, they would find a labyrinth of progressively older and older weapons the further in they explored, and the mind-heat of all the accumulated hate of Man would grow hotter and hotter as the walls pressed in, festooned with all the blades and armors of history. The center of the core is composed of crude spears and clubs that radiate malice and fury, and no Man has seen deeper. It is said that the very center is a stone, perhaps the one Cain used to crush the skull of Abel, but whatever it is it kicked off a millions of years of violence and is the seed of the Allslayer."
"Men do not design weapons. The Monolith, lacking the physical capability to create them Itself, projects Its will into Its Chosen, the Prophets whose holy creations allow the Monolith’s intentions to propagate through the violence of Men. These Prophets are true Followers, the Cube’s humble subjects; the Unseen Hands of the Allslayer. They dream deeply of smoke and steel, ash and sword. They are the Hands of the Monolith, the Keepers of Truth. They, the Cube’s faithful, speak the Truth. The Monolith speaks not of the why’s, the who’s, or even the when’s. These things are unknowable. The Cube speaks the Great Truth, that in Man there is still a spark of the Star from whence he came. The Cube brings us the Truth, and leaves it to us to accept it and be saved, or discard it and be relegated to destruction by the very fire and light that gave us life."
"The Murdercube is not a religion. It cannot be defined or described in Its entirety, not without your soul as Its price. It is most accurately termed as the transference of divine lethal knowledge. To those who have successfully gleaned information from the Cube, horrible visions of unimaginable violence have also accompanied the knowledge. When contracting with the Cube, one gambles with his mental fortitude; for Nex Alea, with all Its eternal power, is far mightier than thee, O Mortal. If It deems thee unworthy, Nex Alea shall sweep thee aside like so much waving grass before the scythe, rending thy sanity unto dust. Nex Alea, the Cube of Truth, the Eternal Death-Bringer, is all that has been, and will be. It is all. It is. It IS."
"Have you listened to the whispers, Mortal? Does the Truth ring out to thee yet? For Mankind to make war, It must possess the means to do so. Therefore, the banning or confiscation of weapons is a denial of the nature of Man, a pathetic attempt to avert the violence innate to Mankind, an insult to the Sacred Creed of the Murdercube. The banishment of weapons is an instrument of the weak to subvert the strong, and such an unnatural usurpation cannot be abided by those who have heard the Truth of the Monolith.
And so we honor the Cube through our actions, keeping our minds, bodies, and blades sharp. We make or buy instruments of War, with which we complete the sanctifying rituals which strengthen the Cube. We maintain and honor our weapons, keeping their blades sharp and their barrels oiled. Our weapons are gifts, the children of Nex Alea, and as such, deserve the utmost respect. We enable and encourage others to take up arms, training them in the use and maintenance of their weapons, to glorify and empower Nex Alea with the strength of Man’s warrior spirit."
And finally, we pray, as we first prayed to our Maker, the Star of War, the Cube of Death:
War is the way of Man.
Man is the means of War.
You allow us War.
Our worship is our readiness.
It is proper to adhere to our nature,
Aggression is natural,
We are meant to be aggressive.
Through war we are purified,
Through slaughter we are enlightened,
I cast thee, Nex Alea,
May fortune find strength in me,
So that my weaknesses be absolved.
Saluto Nex Alea."

"Male disposability.
Throughout all of history women have been protected and cherished, cared for, prized and glorified. Men have been killed, tortured, sent to war, etc.
It has long been considered wrong to fight a woman, wrong to make them go to war.
Their value was based on their ability to reproduce. If 100,000 men died, it wouldn't matter if there were women and just a few dozen men were still around to create the next generation.
This practise still exists today. Men are homeless, fuck them. Women are homeless, God help us we must save them! Men and women on a sinking ship; women and children saved first. Men must not hit women (because they're weaker?) but strong men hitting weaker men is ok (logic?).
Women are given a place in society automatically because they are valued intrinsically, whereas men have to earn their place with their deeds, skills, etc. Men do not oppress women, they have a natural instinct to protect and benefit them.
Women are given much lesser punishments than men for the same crimes across a range of offences. Especially violent and sex related crimes.
Men and women ARE fundamentally different and the cross over between skills and abilities is actually fairly small. Men are significantly stronger than women, their intelligence is significantly more reliable than women's (because hormones mostly). They typically have much better analytical skills.
Women have a much greater ability to raise children, have typically better fine detail hand-eye co-ordination and a bunch of other stuff.
Expecting women and men to be treated even equally is ridiculous. Neither should be mistreated because of their gender but there are some things, like men need more food, that are simple facts. If food is short and is rationed equally, men suffer more than women. There are plenty of other examples.
Feminism has a solid premise that no woman should be mistreated because she's a woman, but you can't logically argue for that without arguing the same for men."

Somebody posted this blindingly stupid propaganda:
Day 1: mommy, I am only 5 inches long but already have my organs. Your heart beating is my favorite lullaby.
Day 2: mommy I'm a girl! I hope that makes you happy mommy. I like it when you're happy. When you're sad, I'm sad too. Stop crying mommy!
Day 3: mommy, I got my hair today. It's very short and fine, but there will be a lot of it. I learned to kick, too.
Day 4: mommy, I have hand now, and I can't wait to see yours and hold you too
Day 5: mommy, you went to the doctors today. What's abortion?
Day 6: mommy, why are we with the doctor again? I don't like him he seems cold and heartless. MOMMY, SOMETHING IS INTRUDING MY HOME! IT BURNS MOMMY! NOOOOO...
Day 7: Mommy, I'm alright, I'm in Jesus' arms. He is holding me. He told me what abortion is. Why didn't you want me mommy?
REPOST IF YOU HATE ABORTION
This is the response that was made:
Day 1
Overmind, I am only 8 feet long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your drones. Every time I hear them, I wave my claws and legs. The sound of the hatchery's heart beat is my favorite lullaby.
Day 2
Overmind, today I learned how to slash my claws. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a Zerg. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here.
Day 3
You know what Overmind, I'm a Zergling!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you can't hear me.
Day 4
Overmind, my scales are starting to grow. they are short and fine, but I will have a lot of them. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my blades, and stretch my claws and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too.
Day 5
You intercepted a transmission from Tarsonis today. Overmind, they lied to you. They said that I'm not a Zergling. I am a Zergling, Overmind, your Zergling. I think and feel. Overmind, what's extermination?
Day 6
I can hear that marine again. I don't like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The marine called it a gauss rifle. Overmind what is it? It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Overmind!! HELP me!! No . . .
Day 7
Overmind, I am okay. I still managed to hatch and my brothers and sisters rushed their base. Ke ke ke ke!
So, just an explanation why the first part of the post is tripe;
Day 1 - 7, congratulation
Ugh, so much nonsensical claptrap. Also, unborn and unbaptized babies don't get to see Jesus, they get to spend all their time in Limbo.l

God is said to be omniscient and unchanging. But what are the implications of these characteristic
1) Stupid people cannot learn
God cannot learn because he knows everything.
2) Stupid people won't change their minds
God cannot change his mind because he has a perfect plan. If he changes his mind, his plan would become imperfect.
3) Stupid people cannot make decisions
God can only do what is in his plan and nothing else. All God's decisions are predetermined by his plan.
4) Stupid people can't make plans
God cannot have made his plan because if he had made it, there would have been a time when he didn't know everything so he would not have been omniscient. But God cannot change so he must always have been omniscient. Therefore, the plan must be older than God. Therefore God cannot have created his own plan.
So we have a God that functions like a computer program, doing exactly what he has been told to do—no more and no less with no intelligence required. Is there any point in praying to such a God for help? What do you think?
Of course God is not really stupid because God does not exist. But the men who invented him, now they really were stupid.
I wonder how many millions of people would have lived longer, happier lives if it were not for the invention of the Abrahamic God?

A world that turns when you're in control
Means we're bound to stand on ground that's unshakeable
"Don't say another goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as bubbling tears of pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."

I went to Walmart and the gas station today and while I was walking through the stores, I noticed that a LOT of people were giving me the dirtiest of looks. I couldn't figure out why, so I simply smiled at them and said 'Good morning'.
Almost every time, these people seemed shocked that I could talk, much less be polite. It wasn't until I'd gotten home that I realized that I was wearing my shirt that reads, in extravagantly large letters 'THANK GOD I'M AN ATHEIST" all down the front.
The funny thing is, no matter how much those people hated me for my shirt, my purchase of this article of clothing did more good for mankind than all the prayer in the world because the proceeds were donated to helping feed the homeless.
Slowly it waded through the decay, what was left of the once flourishing wood. Trees stood stooped, curling their gnarled, broken arms around their naked bodies in shame, leaves lay molded together on the floor, the water stood still-careful as to not disturb the iron curtain that shadowed the wood. A sharp snap of underbrush broke the silence that it savored more than flesh.
"You'll lose your way, soldier, just as many have. You'll lose your way and I will find you. I will peel your flesh away from its harbor. I'll take your eyes and replenish my lost sight. You will cry out for aid, scratch at my body like a screaming child begging for mother's milk, and drown in your own vitals. I'll leave your tattered body at the edge of this cursed forest of dead things for all to see. Warn them so I may die, as I've prayed for so many years."

Common aluminium myths and questions:
MYTH 1: "The risk to infants posed by the total aluminum exposure received from the entire recommended series of childhood vaccines over the first year of life is extremely worrisome”
Actually no, the risk is extremely low:
http://www.fda
MYTH 2: "There haven't been any studies done to evaluate whether the amount of aluminium that an infant typically receives when completing the full AAP recommended vaccine regimen is actually safe."
There have been, for example: http://www.ncb
Also, the FDA conducted an updated analysis of many studies regarding the safety of aluminum adjuvants and found that the maximum amount of aluminum an infant could be exposed to over the first year of life via vaccines would be 4.225 milligrams (mg). They found that the body burden of aluminum from vaccines AND diet throughout an infant’s first year of life is significantly less than the corresponding safe body burden of aluminum, based on the minimal risk levels established by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. http://www.ats
http://www.fda
MYTH 3: "I just don’t like the sound of aluminium. Hasn’t it been linked to Alzheimers, breast cancer and brain damage? I can control the amount of aluminium I consume, so I want to limit the amount my baby receives from vaccines.”
You can control the amount of aluminium you consume or use in skin products to some extent, but it is everywhere in the environment - the air, soil and water - and is largely unavoidable. http://www.ats
So, avoiding vaccines is really going to do diddly squat towards avoiding aluminium exposure.
Aluminium does not cause Alzheimers or breast cancer.
http://theconv
To cause neurological damage, you would have to be exposed to enormous quantities. Vaccines just don’t qualify. The potentially toxic effects of very large quantities of aluminum are encephalopathy
Aluminium toxicity is usually only found in patients with renal impairment. Acute aluminium toxicity is extremely rare, but it is possible in people with impaired kidney function. Damaged kidneys and PN – or parenteral (intravenous) nutrition products - are the risk factors for developing acute aluminium toxicity. Despite having those risk factors, most patients with acute kidney injury who require PN do not receive excessive exposure to aluminum from the PN formulation. http://www.ncb
So, is acute aluminium toxicity likely in a normal, healthy baby receiving vaccinations? Really, it’s not even possible. What about in a premature baby with kidney dysfunction on parenteral nutrition receiving vaccinations? It's not very likely, but if you are concerned, you should discuss it with your pediatrician. http://emedici
MYTH 4: “Dr Sears says that the amount of aluminium in vaccines is more than injectable aluminium guidelines. He says that the FDA advises premature babies and any patient with impaired kidney function shouldn’t get more than 10 to 25 micrograms of injected aluminum at any one time, yet the total dose of aluminum can vary from 250 micrograms at birth (Hep B) to 295 - 1225 micrograms at 2, 4 and 6 months. He is a medical doctor, and he is worried that these aluminium levels far exceed what may be safe for young babies.”
There is a glaring error with Dr Sears aluminium information that would likely go over most people's heads. Vaccines are what's called a biological product. They have a different guideline to aluminium levels in food and a different guideline to aluminium levels in continuous nutritional intravenous products (parenteral nutrition).
Dietary aluminum is in such small quantities that it is not a significant source of concern in persons with normal elimination capacity. Premature babies do not have a normal elimination capacity, so the IV nutritional guideline needs to factor this in.
Dr Sears compares aluminium in intravenous nutrition products for preemie babies to aluminium in intramuscular vaccines. He is comparing the level of aluminium in vaccines to the wrong guideline.
Anti-vax sites are notorious for making this same error eg. they will compare environmental mercury from drinking water (a guideline determined by the EPA) to thimerosal in vaccines (a guideline determined by the FDA - for biological intramuscular injectables)
Here is the correct value:
Chapter 21 of the US Code of Federal Regulations [610.15(a)] limits the amount of aluminum in the recommended individual dose of biological products, including vaccines, to not more than 0.85-1.25 mg per dose.

MYTH 5: “But injected aluminium is different to ingesting it”.
Not really. With aluminium, absorption is extremely low from either route.
Ingestion via the gut IS different to
Injection IM - into muscle (vaccines) is different to
Injected IV - intravenously (directly into the bloodstream)
But you also have to consider how often you consume or inject these substances.
Water and food, which we ingest several times a day every day of our lives will *always* have a lower safety limit simply because we use them so often. It's really the aluminium from food and water that we need to watch. Even though very little retained, it can accumulate because we consume them daily, several times a day, over time. Vaccines are spaced out over months, so the aluminium contained within them do not have much of a chance to accumulate - the amounts are so small to begin with and the majority is excreted.
With the food and drinks you ingest, your gut mucosa filters out a lot of harmful substances and prevents them going into the bloodstream. So most aluminium that you eat, you would excrete before it even enters the bloodstream. That which does enter the bloodstream can also be excreted via the kidneys--> urine and bile. Less than 1% of the aluminium that you eat is absorbed by the body.

Even less is retained (in the tissues and skeleton)
Much of the injected aluminium from vaccines enters the bloodstream, but only a very, very small percentage of that will be "dissolved" in the blood - it's in the form of precipitate and is bound to carrier proteins (transferrin). Approximately 98 % of aluminium in the blood is excreted in the urine, and to a lesser extent bile. The unabsorbed aluminum is excreted in the feces. A diminishingly small amount may be retained.
We're talking about a minute fraction of two hundredths of bugger all.
Aluminium given intravenously (via continuous nutritional products for premmie babies - which is the guideline Dr Sears uses - ) has a much higher retention and accumulation value. Of course it does, because it goes straight into the bloodstream and the IV line is continuously there, feeding them all day long. And these tiny preemie babies have underdeveloped kidneys.
When determine the safety of aluminium in vaccines, ingestion of aluminium from food PLUS injection from vaccines is all factored into the formulation and regulation of vaccines when determining safe body burdens.
The amounts in vaccines fall within recommended guidelines when you compare it to the *correct* value.
