I hate it when on Maher in the morning he typically talks of the upcoming game as 'Like a playoff game.' Usually the only reason the game has any urgency is because the Flames have sucked their way into a position where an early season game is 'like a playoff game' for them.

What bothers me most about Maher (aside from your previous post which I agree with) is that he's lost any sense of objectivity. Everyone talks about the "country club" attitude of the Flames, well Peter Maher is the president of that club.

As usual, you are full of crap and really have no idea what you are talking about.
Well frankly I don't really care about when the Talmud came about, and I don't care if it is classified as a religion or not. I don't claim to be an expert on the topic, but a good number of our so called leaders today subscribe to these doctrines which are included in many of the secret societies/fraternities or what ever you want to call them.

In summary: well-researched opinions and ideas are crap, stuff I read on the internet and Alex Jones' website is the only naked truth.

Alex Jones doesn't dare talk about any of that stuff, but don't let that stop you from forming an ignorant opinion of your own..

The bolded part is all we need to see. You admit you're not an expert, after admitting you don't know what the Talmud is - and yet you hold a strong opinion on the subject of secret societies that "subscribe" to it.

Do you not see how this points to the near certainty that you hold your opinions in spite of the facts, not because of them?

Why doesn't he dare talk about it, I mean its amazing that the CIA assasination squads haven't murdered him over his "knowledge"of the 9/11 conspiracies, and the governments plot to turn average American's into slaves and sex toys.

So why doesn't he talk about it.

And please Mikey, please tell me which secret societies use these rituals, I'm very eager to know, and how do they know that a) these secret societies are what they say and B) That they do these rituals?

In some ways, dogs tie you down more than children do. It's true.

Now, I would never own a cat as an alternative, I'm very allergic to cats. Even if I wasn't, I've had some bad experiences with cats, their owners and the absolutely horrific odors they can produce to ever be comfortable owning or living around cats. It's kind of like getting bad food. You can't eat that food again because of your past experience.

I don't want my dogs to die, but I have to admit that I am comforted by the fact that at some point down the road I will have a pet free household.

Alex Jones distances himself from the jewish topic as much as possible. He probably doesn't want the ADL jumping down his throat.

Don't get me started on 9/11....

You don't want to get started on 9/11 again.

Alex Jones is a brilliant sales person but a false prophet

He really is pretty good at what he does. If he wasn't he wouldn't be earning many more times what I do.

What he does is complete BS, of course.

I am against the idea of elected leaders being part of any secret societies. I know some facts about the Talmud. It seems to me the Talmud is pretty much the inverse of traditional christian morality, advocating such things as pedohpilia for example.
