I may not be bright enough for this blog, since I’m not even sure how to register..

PZ Myers is a must-read for me everyday, too. His photos are almost as cool as yours, and his anti-sky fairies crusade is inspiring.

[…] Twisty links to a story about a Saudi man who killed his daughter for chatting with forbidden males on Facebook. Facebook is then identified as the source of “social strife” by a conscience-free cleric. Interesting thing is, this murder did not get reported in Arab News, Saudi’s largest and first English language daily newspaper, which pretends to be at the forefront of social change and reform.

Thank you, Hedonistic Pleasureseeker, I was sort of worried nobody else knew that THE GOVERNMENT USES FACEBOOK TO SPY ON YOU AND OPENLY RECRUIT FOR THE CIA, WHICH IS WHY EVERYBODY NOT INTO FASCISM SHOULD BOYCOTT IT IMMEDIATELY AND FOREVER.

I’m on facebook and have friended my daughter - she pets me, throws sheep at me and sends me invitations to lots of stupid quizzes. It’s kind of sweet.

NOT Facebook, GAH!!!!

The CIA (no shit, srsly) is heavily connected with the Facebook Entity.

Damn their woman hating hides, I can’t even find any decent stalkers *sob*

A couple of days ago I was relating to my 14 year old daughter Twisty’s tale of the 12 year old forced into stripping… and her response was that it was the fault of the 12 year old. At which point despair and desperation was about the only response I could muster as I stuttered something about no, a 12 year old in a civilised society should expect not to be exploited for sex and it is wrong, IT IS WRONG!!

So yeah, by all means hide your hypothetical offspring in a basement. The world is simply no place for them.

Now that I have checked out that link in full, Twisty, I am suitably corrected. One of the greatest things about being a pessimist is that being proven wrong is such a pleasant surprise.

I think my bizarre desire to hide my hypothetical offspring in the basement probably has more to do with my objection with the state of the world in general, not just Facebook. I’m glad that some others have found good stuff through it. So far, I’ve just run into creepy stalker types.

I feel it necessary to mention that I am still horrified that people can just nod their head when fathers abuse their daughters like this for daring to be fully functioning members of society. How dare those damn womyn act as if they are human!

Well, if Facebook is the door to something, it’s probably a portal of stupidity.

And Scrabulous, don’t forget Scrabulous.

Or, what Twisty said.

If facebook is a “Door to Lust”
I’d like the key please.
I’ll keep it on the same chain
used to lock up my heart,
next to the chastity key,
on the same hook
as my rape whistle.
