Ben Stein: What a Douche...
I always thought that Ben Stein was an asshole... But when I started watching this I thought he and I would reach an accord... Boy was I wrong...Sometimes our first impressions are the right ones...
I won't even get into Darwinism = Nazism.... apparently Stein doesn't read history, or doesnt want to acknowlede religion's role in rape murder and torture... This is nothing but a predisposed, self serving call to rationalize his own bigotry...and to top it off... he does it in the name of freedom.

GOT TO TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THIS GREAT BIT OF REASONING, WELL DONE, TRUELY WELL DONE. its easy to sell lies, not so easy to return them.
Well, Rich, you did know that that article was two and a half years old right?
Not that time can make Ben Stein any less douchetacular, just saying.
@Tyler:
Yah, that is pretty much about free speech. However, as far as I can tell, Stein did it all with his own money.
The thing is that free speech is different from free beer. With free beer, you still have to whiz later on. With free speech, one must suffer the asshole as the price that we pay to not have to deal with the loss of said freedom.

Dawkins had a response to this, which basically sums up to: So who is this guy? I'd never heard of him. I didn't know what he was doing; they were deceptive to me. What a dick this obscure actor is.
It was quite a while ago, but none the less, I say we should all boycott clear-eyes.
Well, I have this theory that everyone on the entire planet is an asshole.
So when someone gets all up in your action, remember that they are an asshole. You may still need to do specific things to deal with the asshole but that does not make them less of an asshole.
On the other hand, for this to work, you have to include yourself among the list of assholes. So when you need to get in someone else's action, just remember that you are an asshole and you are entitled to do whatever asshole stunt is appropriate to the situation.
I have been thinking along those lines for over a dozen years and I have yet to find a situation where the outcome was better for trying to be nice to some asshole.

Love it, Think you just announced a Belief System that works!!

I once had a friend who wanted to design an asshole seeking missile. Decided it wouldn't work very well as it was a target rich environment.
