I thought that this side would be good for letting of steam. The fight bin is more for the head to head and tag team action.
This is excellent for users like imaculate and the now gone alexclaton2.
We will begin with a some video posts.

Want Freedom? Save Yourself.
Do you think Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton will save you? John McCain or George Bush? Do you even think Ron Paul, Mike Gravel, or Dennis Kucinich could save us from ourselves? We need to be independent and free. free from oil, free from corporations, and free from government. our future depends on it.
You lookin' for a Honda or a human, a Porsche or a person? You don't get good sex by making a list of prefabricated demands. You don't get good sexy by itemizing body parts.You get good sex by bringing out the best in the person you're with.
There's nothing 'shallow' about physical appearance. That's not my point. It's that we're now at the point of itemizing individual body parts and ignoring the whole package. To want an appealing body is one thing, but when we start dictating the actual inch of the waist, bust size or penis perhaps we're missing the bigger picture.
Cap'n Awesome fun fact: Judaism is often times listed as one of the "Big five religions in the world" along with Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, but in fact Judaism is only the 12th largest religion in the world.

As an outspoken atheist I am subjected to an inordinate amount of nonsensical loaded questions with fallacious premises. My beliefs regarding God are also constantly the focus of very strange and unfounded assumptions, often the result of simple ignorance but also quite frequently the result malicious distortions made utterly knowingly by those in positions of authority purportedly derived from the divine.
To address all such loaded questions and bizarre assumptions in a single video would be a task too great for any one atheist, even with my "old school" director's account, which enables me to post videos exceeding ten minutes in length. However, there are two recurring bits of abominable miscomprehension that are in dire need of addressing.
The first is the misnomer of "non-believer" that we atheists all-too-often hear and all-too-often accept. I daresay many of us wear it as something of a badge of honor, but the term contains within it a tacit admission of a theocentric world. Atheists, like all other people, believe and disbelieve in a great number of things. I personally believe in concepts freedom and truth and beauty and all that jazz. I also believe in concretions like the blueness of the sky or the texture of a stucco ceiling. I disbelieve in concepts like fascism and religion and two wrongs make a right. I disbelieve in purported concretions like Santa Claus and Goblins. I disbelieve in God both as a concept and a purported concretion.
So, I am both a believer and a non-believer. It merely depends on the context, the subject, the narrative. If the subject is Santa Claus as a concept, then I am a believer. If the subject is Santa Claus as a purported concretion, then I am a non-believer.
To accept the label of non-believer without any contextual clues or any predefined subject as non-belief in God by default is to give the concept undue credence. By admitting the God question so important that belief or non-belief in him trumps all other beliefs or non-beliefs is to give him undue importance. For "believer" to be the center of a Christian's identity is perfectly sensible and sensical, but for "non-believer" to be the center of an atheist identity is ridiculous outside of the context of debating theists. We are atheists. Atheist is a word which means that we lack a belief in deities—and that's all it should or shall ever mean. Whether or not we are non-believers should always depend on the context of the word and if the word is without context we should not acknowledge it as meaning anything. The next time you are called a non-believer, you're response should be, "A non-believer in what?"
The second of the inglorious sophistries I've made this video in hopes of correcting is this silly notion that atheists have rejected God. Now, of course we have rejected God as a concept or an idea, just as most of us with good sense reject communism and dictatorships. We have not, however, rejected God in the sense that one rejects a parent who was never there or a friend who betrayed us. We don't believe in God, and to reject him in that sense, belief in him is an absolute prerequisite.
Certain theists believe, even after being corrected on this point, that we are deceiving ourselves—that we genuinely do believe in God, but reject him because we want to be able to free ourselves from his will. In other words, we disbelieve in him so that we can disobey him.
This argument holds no water for one simple reason. No idea, regardless of how vile or wicked it might be, has suffered from the idea of being divinely willed. Hitler claimed to be the chosen of God. Albert Fish, who cannibalized children, was a devout Christian who believed that angels would have intervened to save his victims if God had thought his crimes wrong. If we really wanted to do evil, God would not stand in our way—we could make him condone it, just as Christian Scientists make him condone not-treating disease and the Opus Dei sect of Catholics make him condone self-mutilation. God's will is largely controlled, for all practical purposes, by the will of his believers. And if atheists really wanted to do whatever they wanted, they'd not bother with atheism—they would just say that God approved of whatever behaviors they indulged in.
We don't believe in God because there is no pressing reason to believe in God. It's really quite simple and requires little in the way of further explanation.
Note: A housefly was meandering around the camera while I recorded this. The insect has since been executed for its transgression, but I do apologize if the tell-tale buzz is audible.
when are you stupid voters going to learn "NEVER !! NEVER !! elect rich people or their friends to government" i mean,who ever heard of a rich s.o.b., that ever had trouble balancing their check book,how can they possibly know or understand the problems of the average family who has to have two incomes to try and make ends meet ,consider,,, it is you the average person who balances the books for the greedy rich and for a paltry sum at that,,,there really should be laws limiting just how much money an individual can have/control the more one has the less another has not,after all who needs to have billions,you can buy anything/anybody you see,kind of like playing a game in god mode,,where's the challenge???...y'know way back when,we first started to form communities it was set up so that everybody got a fair share of the community resources/benefits,as long as you contributed in whatever way/manner that you could,but then along came religion,,and the rest is history...:>)
religion got it's start when "the first fool met the first con artist". :>)
