Continuing with the general theme of exploring the concept of morality, I’m going back to some old arguments and responding to them with new ideas. Specifically, I am addressing an argument frequently put forward over at Blogging Theology – namely that atheism is a bloodthirsty, immoral philosophy. The (mis)representation of atheism is that it’s a […]
Greetings ‘kats, welcome back to Meerkat Musings, I am your host Darth Timon, aka Ben, and I will be leading you through this possibly lengthy and certainly fascinating post, as we dissect the words and commentary of recent posts I’ve stumbled across elsewhere. We’ll be pondering whether or not there is truly unreasonable censorship at […]
A few weeks ago I posted something on the Coalition website regarding articles from one Thinking Michael. Michael had discussed the apparent growing irrelevance of men in society and rallied against feminism. A cursory glance at his posts suggests he feels women are the more emotional, inferior gender. He regards himself as right-wing. He speaks […]
Not for the first time, Paul of Blogging Theology has suggested that democratic rule is incompatible with religion. It seems that he is putting forward an idea he’s tried before, more than once. It also seems that Paul does not believe democracy can be a reasonable form of government. Indeed, one of the blog entries […]
How is everyone? Did we all pass through the eye of the needle on New Year’s Eve and emerge, broken and weary, but emerge nonetheless into 2021? Actually, I can’t do 2020 again. I don’t know if any of us can. That wretched year is behind us, and surely only better times lie ahead? Only, […]
Yup, 2020 is nearly over, so now is the time to reflect on what’s been a transformative year for so many of us. After this year, surely, surely, the only way is up? But I’m going to resist speculating on 2021, for a number of reasons – let’s focus on this year. Career Changes Early […]
I’ve recently on Twitter of attempts to suggest the people behind the #WeAreStarfleet hashtag are awful. If we are to accept that, then the perpetrators of that suggestion, the self-styled #FandomMenace, should take a look at themselves, for their behaviour is no better. Exhibit A: This ‘charming’ response to Fibble.. More from Fibble… There are […]
I’ve been inspired by a friend, and there’s going to be a bit more behind this post than will immediately be apparent (in the form of a video/audio interview, but I won’t say any more than that), but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the phenomenon of ‘cancel culture’. On one level, I fully […]
We’re into the final month and final hurdle of the strangest, most challenging year. The end of 2020 is in sight, a vaccine is now being distributed (with other vaccines well on their way to being approved), and on the virus front, there are signs that come Easter next year, a semblance of normality will […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
