The New York Times has published an interesting, very long, article about the Christian evangelical movement and its ties to the Republican party. Here’s the link.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
Muchas gracias. Pluto dice que sueno como gringa.
Still don’t get the “Judias Verdes” part
si, trabajo con 2 belgas y 4 gringos. Casi que no hablan español. La mayoría de los clientes que llegan a la oficina son extanjeros. La mayoría habla solo inglés.
Por que “(IF)”?
Por eso tengo que saber mucho Inglés.
ah, jajaja IF…International Foundation. Tengo un fondo que se llama “I Have to go to Fucking England (or US) to meet Pluto”, y recibo donaciones. Ahora tengo 350.00 dolares
Su “language skills” son muy admirable.
The same Pluto as on this site?
Tu es rico.
Muchas Gracias.
Mira, un idioma es mucho más fácil aprenderlo hablando que escribiendo.
Es como si fueras un bebe. Nadie en este mundo aprende a escribir antes que a hablar. Excepto unos cuantos por ahi que no hablan.

I have to go now. It is gym day and I have to stay sexy for my englishman.

un Placer y que tengas buenas noches.
Same Pluto as on this site. yep
Gracias y adios!
FFS!!
In the words of the Great Late Ron Burgundy (talking to Baxter, his dog) “Come again? You know I don’t speak Spanish. In English, please. What?”
Those of you that live in the USA and consider themselves brighter than the average bulb should really try to learn some spanish I think. Since there is no official language in that country it would be very nice to try to speak not only the most common but also the 2nd most common. Also since the South American immigrants don’t all come from families that could provide their children with chances for higher education, you could try to go and meet them half way.

Sort of like we finns do - we know that swedes are of inferior intellect so we try to learn their almost uncomrehensible singing, as they are surely not able to grasp the finer points of the substantial linguistic spectrum offered by the glorious finnish language.
.
The paragraph above is a terrible joke, I know. Swedes are a really bright people. Paragraph 1 is not a joke though. Tiene que aprender español, quien vive en Estados Unides. Además si vive en el sur.

You could probably include us Brits too.
Talk loudly and slowly in English is our second language.

I can swear, order beer and ask the way to the station in a few different tongues but pointing tends to come into it eventually :D
This is ‘way off thread, but I did see a cute cartoon somewhere that showed something like Christian/Republican/Evangelical types walking thru the Pearly Gates, and St. Peter is saying: “..I have to tell you: Aramaic is the official language here….” Do we know the natural language of The Noodly One????
@Alchemist - What would you need to learn in the GB? Arabic, spanish, polish, or some other? Many people of smaller languages can often speak loads of languages, but that is quite natural I think. For example I wish to read what you write here. Can you think of a finnish or swedish writing you would like to read? Speaking of languages, if I ever have children I wish they would speak english, spanish and mandarin. I still need to improve my spanish and have not even started on mandarin.
“Most Neo-Nazi, white-supremist scum are Christian…
Bigots…”
true, they claim to be Christians….but they’re not. but then again there are a lot of people who claim to be Christians and who do not act accordingly. it’s almost as if people don’t even care about Jesus’s life and an example he was. even if you’re not a Christian i hope you can be able to respect that the Jesus of the Gospels did some pretty counter cultural and cool things in his era. i’m dumbfounded that people can somehow think that Jesus (who taught about loving one another) would be okay with us picking up an AK-47 and killing other people. i just can’t picture that as being okay. Jesus’s life was about teaching people to love each other and to care for the disenfranchised. but do most Christians do that? i don’t think so, at least not in the US. we’re too consumed with making Christianity an exclusive club. while i do hold traditional views on a lot of Christian issues. i do not believe that God is okay with signs that say “God hates fags” if a Christian really believes in the resurrection of Jesus as important to their spirituality and that he did it for ALL then wouldn’t the response be, hi, we care about you. we may not agree with your lifestyle but you’re still welcome here. same with abortion, instead of the signs and protesting and even Bombing places (extremely not ok) why aren’t more Christians making half way homes for these young women who are pregnant and scared, esp the teen girls, a place where they feel safe where they can learn about what’s going on and make a decision about whether to keep the baby or to give it up for adoption, and how to parent a child…
ok i apologize i got on a soapbox. but i’m a christian, and sometimes i’m embarrassed to call myself that because some of the extreme fundamentalists give us all a bad rap….
random thought, okay so creationism being taught in schools, cool, that’s fine with me, evolution being taught, also cool. i wonder if they ever link the two, i mean can evolution be the means of intelligent design?
wow, i ranted alot, i hope i didn’t offend anyone. i like the website, i think it’s a GREAT idea. and to be honest, i think more christians need to be offended. it makes them get off their lazy asses and actually think about what they believe.
Cottura - I studied Latin at school. That’s one language the English speakers should have a background in.
.
Yes - I see your point. English (well, at least the American version of it) is ubiquitous - I’m one of the lucky ones, it’s my first language.
“Can you think of a finnish or swedish writing you would like to read? “
Erm… not off hand :D
@Alchemist ‘“Can you think of a finnish or swedish writing you would like to read? “

So I guess I made my point. Most of what is worth reading will be translated into english in a flash. And you know latin - that should make spanish and french much much easier to learn should you wish to do so. The more languages you know the easier it gets to learn more - though you do mix them up sometimes.
for additional information, i’m a democrat, and a pacifist…. and if we really want to look at Jesus historically speaking and not the perfect white Jesus that the church typically portrays, he would have looked middle eastern and i’ve heard a few credible scholars say he was probably pretty homely as well. people unfortunately are just scared of what is different. sad really. i think that if Jesus were to come back today he would be really disappointed at what the church as a whole has become
