I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen. That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is called a conscience! An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad! It is supposed to make you feel guilty! The goal of many a good sermon is to get you to confess your sins—not coddle you in your selfishness. The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization!

Oklahoma Wesleyan is not a “safe place”, but rather, a place to learn: to learn that life isn’t about you, but about others; that the bad feeling you have while listening to a sermon is called guilt; that the way to address it is to repent of everything that’s wrong with you rather than blame others for everything that’s wrong with them. This is a place where you will quickly learn that you need to grow up!

This is not a day care. This is a university!

Richard Levenson at the University of California, Davis, and his colleagues showed pigeons microscope images of breast tissue. Then they rewarded them when they correctly pecked a coloured button that corresponded to either cancerous or healthy tissue. After 15 daily sessions, each lasting an hour, the pigeons got the right answer 85 per cent of the time.

Pooling responses from a panel of four pigeons, or “flock-sourcing” as the researchers call it, increased accuracy to 99 per cent. The pigeons were just as good at spotting small calcium deposits associated with cancer, which appear as white specks on mammograms.

“I was quite surprised by the strength of the findings,” Dr. Steves said, “because to be honest, I am someone who has always in the past prioritized work of the mind over work of the body. This study brings home to me that the brain needs exercise to keep fit.”

“They’ve changed themselves from worst in class to the best in class,” Mr. Hypponen said. “The change is complete. They started taking security very seriously.”

the divorce was filed in Dec 2013 (has been going on for quite some time now) and boy did he get fucked. It looks like their net worth was around $8 mil. That was obviously split and I believe she now owns their two properties (though I'm not certain). He moved into a $11k/mo penthouse unit at a building in Austin (where this segment was filmed) and is now making payments of $44,000/mo to his ex-wife for the next 6 years.

This is what happens when the patriarchs are allowed to run free—nothing. They don’t attack blacks or Jews or treat women as second-class citizens. Piggy doesn’t get his brains smashed against the rocks when he grabs the conch shell. He says his piece and the conch shell is passed to the next person. We don’t harass or humiliate anyone. That’s boring. Instead, we focus on stimulating conversation and having a good time. That’s what we’d all do if our strings were cut. If you removed sexual-harassment laws and all HR departments in the country, you wouldn’t have anarchy. You’d have harmony. This is because, as we all suspected, the arbiters of political correctness aren’t rescuing the oppressed from our evil ways. They’re preventing everyone from having a good time and getting the job done. Mainstream broadcasters tried to shelf free speech, but they ended up shelving themselves in the process. What a bunch of fucking fags.

“We’ve discovered six antibiotics in the recent past,” Fenical said. “Of those, three to four have serious potential as far as we know, including anthramycin. But we have no way to develop them. There are no companies in the United States that care. They’re happy to sell existing antibiotics, but they’re not interested in researching and developing new ones.”
