OK, is there some way I can make it so a particular post is no longer visible to me? So that when I go to sifttalk I don't have to read jokes about rape that make me want to log off and avoid the site alltogether?
OK. That didn't work. I tried ignoring Jigga. That did nothing to hide his, of all things, PROMOTED post. How do I get this shit off my screen? This is a serious question.

Taking advice. Ceasing crying and sifting around.
Many sifters are extremists when talking about religion (Religion Talk Post)
Thompson is an outspoken anti-religious atheist: "I'm an atheist; I suppose you can call me a sort of libertarian anarchist. I regard religion with fear and suspicion. It's not enough to say that I don't believe in God. I actually regard the system as distressing: I am offended by some of the things said in the Bible and the Qur'an, and I refute them."

New Barbie Doll with a Burqa?
As for me, I'm pretty much willing to use the "Fox News compliment rule" to say if Fox is outraged, Burka Barbie must be a better thing than I realized.

On Atheism (Blog Entry by dag)
Here is a currently respected study: http://www.bumc.bu.edu/centenarian/overview/
And it says specifically: Not all centenarians are alike. They vary widely in years of education (no years to post-graduate), socioeconomic status (very poor to very rich), religion, ethnicity and patterns of diet (strictly vegetarian to extremely rich in saturated fats). However, the centenarians we have studied do have a number of characteristics in common:
Then they go on to list the things they had in common, and having faith was not listed. Handling stress well is. In my opinion, faith is one way to deal with stress, and as long as you expand what you have faith in, it includes people whose faith is something like "modern psychiatry" and "bio-feedback" and "yoga" and such.
To pick something that women in the study of people over 100 had very often: they often had children past the age of 40. I'm not sure there are any metaphysical things to conclude from that.
Studies of human populations are very difficult to deal with scientifically.
That's my opinion.

Maybe this guy was victimized. Maybe this guy is doing what most real criminals and abusers do: playing down or denying his crime.
Many sifters are extremists when talking about religion (Religion Talk Post)
If you don't like the videos that clearly many sifters do, don't watch them. Personally, the religion videos are some of those on VS I have enjoyed the most. I was raised a fundamentalist christian (and I am talking a really severe sect) and I am now as close to an athiest as, say, Christopher Hitchens (though non-evangelical). I really enjoy having the atheist view supported. I really enjoy learning of even small victories to fight back religion, which I find to be the greatest force for evil in the world.
Opinions vary. That's why we vote.

Ah, good question. I wasn't even considering the idea. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Are you satisfied with your job/career? (User Poll by rottenseed)
Postsecret: 50 people asked, What is your secret?
That couple around the 4 minute mark is so fucking in love. Just look at the way they look at each other... it's beautiful. I've had someone look at me like that once. It's the best feeling in the world.
Yeah, I love the split seconds they show of their reactions to each others' secrets. Especially his to her secret.
