MLP

posted by [personal profile] palfrey at 01:12am on 17/01/2005
It's been a while since I've done an MLP/meme post (last post doesn't really count), and since I've just found a whole bunch of collected ones that I never got around to mentioning, here we go. Also, some random notings/thoughts.
  • National Geographic puts things in place. You've probably heard about/seen this already.

  • More things learnt from Schlock Mercenary: Rule #35: That which does not kill you has made a tactical error. - The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates

  • I've been realizing just how political Bad Religion actually are, noting they have a songs called "Kyoto Now!" and "Ten in 2010" (referring to population expansion)

  • I'm now watching: the new Battlestar Galactica (which rocks amazingly, but I never saw the original), Fruits Basket (could Yuki get any more female?), Voyager series 6, and occasionaly some of the Angelic Layer that I got off of [livejournal.com profile] samurite over New Year.

  • Real Life has something that I'm going to try avoid doing in real life (given I know 3 pairs of people getting married this year)

  • Pikachu can now be killed with conventional weaponry, as someone has given us a battle plan to its insides

  • One reason why I'm not doing any MMORPGs (that, and I don't have the time)

  • Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] thessalian many moons ago

  • The Crossroads
    This is the inviting and welcoming personality type that is most well known for recreational activities and general partying. Always happy in a crowd, the Crossroads love to converse, to relate, and above all to have fun.

    This personality tends to think in a more holistic approach than many of the other personality types, covering ground piece by piece in a hodgepodge fashion rather than following a single line of logic from beginning to end. Like a crow they are attracted to shiny objects, new ideas, playful exciting colors and the thrill of a new personal relationship.

I always thought Nat Geo was a serious scientitifc journal. To waste any substantial space debunking creationists makes them sound like a bunch of zealots. The science used to attack darwinism is so poor that debunking it should be left to the mainstreampress and anti-conspiracy sites.

And I think the baptist MMPORGS are doing some pretty decent role playing. FIRE AND BRIMSTONE WILL RAIN DOWN ON YOU ALL!. I like Landover Baptist. Get's a bit tiring after a while, since they only have the one joke, but it's often quite subtle.

Check the statistics below the Nat Geo article - if you've got 44% of americans not agreeing with evolution, then something drastic like this needs to be done. Who else would bother? Certainly not the american mainstream press - "offend 44% of our readership? never!".

Those 44% aren't going to be swayed by national geographic (even if the small portion of those who read it). It just suggests that it's a scientific theory if they cover it. An article on bad science would be interesting, but one that takes bad science seriously just seems like a bad idea.

I watched some of the old Battlestar Galactica. It wobbled half-heartedly, as I remember.
