The problem with critics of Islam

They often forget that "we", as in the western countries, weren't much better until recently. Looking at how we were "converted", we should realise that not hostility and harsh judgement, but logic and education will eventually enlighten those we left in the dark.

The nice thing about life is, it's never too bad not to get worse.

I'm religious about true love, agnostic about her looks and atheistic about her logic.

The most compelling logic breaks down in light of the human factor.

Leben heisst jeden Moment als Zweck, nicht als Mittel zu sehen.

or as Bill Watterson put it:

"There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"

Religion is definitive proof against a benevolent god.

Don't walk a path, leave a trail.

Relativity is never as apparent as when kids start doing homework when they ought to go to bed.

god is an excellent comedian;

if it's your kind of comedy, that is.

every photograph should be a mere negative,

to be developed in the viewers imagination.

Measuring the good by the bad or the bad by the good

makes all the difference.

Whether the glass is half empty or half full largely depends on how thirsty you are.

god created religion to sort out the idiots.

Vulva - the special scent

Now, if you thought after an automated masturbation toy, the internet couldnt come up with anymore, lets say, "creative" things for its phallusized audience, you're not gonna believe this new, "stunning", "great" und "most-anticipated" Scent: The smell of vagina. That's right, now you can get your favorite smell bottled!
So, we have the robot humanoid from Japan that never complains, the Fleshlight 2.0 that does all the work for you and now, the smell....what do we need women for again? Oh right, babies...

Why you should date nearsighted girls

It's simple logic. As soon as she takes off her glasses, the closer you get, the less ugly you look to her. It's like alcohol but without the liver damage.
Additionally I'm a sucker for a nice rack (or is it frame? Oh, my English is so terrible), but even if you're not into metal accessories: She can always just wear contacts, but you're probably gonna stay ugly.
You just gotta hope she never gets eye surgery or else it's gonna turn out like when see stops taking the pill, which screws with her nose. That's the reason smelly guys get women, true story.

Atheists offer to care for Christians' pets after the Rapture

I cannot find the words to describe how awesome the following business idea is. You've got to read it to believe it:

Review of Topaz Adjust PS Plugin

first of all, i should mention that this is more of a re"glance" since i just played around with this plugin for a day and im generally new to HDR photography anyway. So i thought pictures speak more than a thousand words, therefore the following pictures are comparisons of a single topaz "adjusted" image (the first of the two) versus a real HDR image, created from mutliple exposures and tonemapped in PhotomatixPro. I tried to get comparable results, but as you can see, they do differ in a lot of ways. For a fullview, click on the image.

Seven Crimes to Consider Before Music Piracy

Seven Crimes to Consider Before Music Piracy

1. Steal Music? No! Steal a child, preferably from a recording artist.
That's right, the fine for regular old, Class 4 Felony child abduction is $25,000. It can also include one to three years in prison. So, if you get spanked as hard as possible after ganking a silly named celebrity child, you'll be down $175,699.

2. Steal the actual CD.
Damn, that new Black Eyed Peas song is infectious, am I right? That chorus is so genius; "boom boom boom," who thinks of that? I want to steal it. So instead of Kazaa, I'm going to swipe it from Best Buy. Retail theft of less that $150 (which is like, what, 10 CD's?) is a Class A misdemeanor. The penalty? Up to one year in jail and/or a fine of $2,500. At most you'd be down about $52,500. Definitely manageable. If it exceeds $150 though, you're in for a Class 3 felony. That bad boy will result in two to five years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine, so you're risking approximately $275,000. Beats $2 million though, huh?

3. Rob Bryan Adams.
There's Bryan Adams next door, tooling around on his new John Deere riding lawn mower. That would definitely make mowing the lawn easier huh? Fun, even. Can't afford one, can you? No problem! Punch him in the face and take it! That's a Class 2 felony. The penalties come to a meager $376,631, which is a full $298,369 less than even the weakest RIAA judgment.

4. Set Lars Ulrich's house on fire.
Being a pyro sounds fun. You get to see lots of pretty flames, hear fun explosions, and watch things get destroyed. Plus, doesn't Metallica have a song about setting shit on fire? They probably do, it's Metallica. What could go wrong? Not as much as if you decided to pirate music. Arson is another Class 2 felony. ($376,631)

5. Stalk Reba McEntire.
Hang out in her front yard, take pictures of her driving and shopping, send her weirdo letters - you name it, stalking is awesome! And what's the penalty? It's just a Class 4 felony! Phew! Just about $175,000 and you're done.

6. Learn from Michael Vick: Start a Dog Fighting Empire
Dogs are pretty cool, huh? You know what's cooler than a dog? Dogs killing each other! That will get you a paltry $50,000 fine and one to three years in the pen. What does that amount to? A max of about $200,000! Not too big of a deal when viewed against the dire backdrop of music piracy, huh? Suck it PETA!

7. Murder Someone, Second-Degree style.
Basically all "Second Degree" means is that you were provoked in such a way that it would cause you to have an "intense passion," i.e. you downloaded a few songs and then you were fined an amount that has more numbers than most of us will ever see in our bank accounts. When that happens, if you sort of go Incredible Hulk and shiv somebody in the kidney, you may be found guilty of Second Degree murder instead of first. Second Degree murder is only a Class 1 felony, rather than a Class X, which stands for X-treme. Class X is like the Mountain Dew of crimes. Anyway, a Class 1 felony can result in a fine of $25,000 and/or 4-15 years in prison. So, according to our numbers, you could POTENTIALLY only lose roughly $225,932. If you have a real bastard of a jury though - kind of like Jammie Thomas did - then you might get the full 15 years, which would amount to $778,495. So that's worse than Mr. Tenenbaum, but still not even close to Ms. Thomas.
