There once was a plan many years ago to make a master piece. This is probably better than what we would have done, but you can feel the inspiration. I bring to you Master Chief vs Lizard vs Spider Man:
May 9, 2008, A Challenge to Not Conformed Thoughts...
Matthew Cochrane of Wall Street Journal fame recently made this comment here:
Rather, because I don't know, and because its a relevant cultural issue , I have purchased a few books on the matter to research and try to find out (the book in question is not the only book I have on the matter). I don't want to accept a position just because a certain group believes that to be the case. I would rather do my own homework and come to my own conclusion.
While stopping short of a late night romp in South Beach, the challenge presented to NCT is to study this issue with materials that might not be predisposed to reaffirm assumptions that may already be present. As an example perhaps the book: Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality: Explode the Myths, Heal the Church. It is written by a former moderator of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) arguing for "equal rights in the church and in society for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender." This is only an example, not a suggestion as there is no more knowledge of this book here except for the Amazon description.
In return, if this challenge is accepted, we will view Ben Stein's new movie with an open heart and mind and post a review. The two topics may not seem equal, but Intelligent Design has been discussed here without possibly taking a serious look at the other side's argument. It appears both sites have an interest in doing their own homework and coming to their own conclusions regarding hot button social topics. It also seems there are assumptions on both sides for both topics and we trust that an open mind can be had in both cases.
If it's unfair to suggest a book versus a movie, this might possibly do (again, as an example, this movie could suck and have alot of holes):
May 8, 2008, Interesting Book Sales on Not Conformed Thoughts...
We were blasted here by several comments off the blog by the elitist Not Conformed Thoughts editor regarding our review of Why Do Men Have Nipples? Even though it was only given two lizards, and it was a best selling book answering all kinds of interesting questions, the team that TLM was playing for came into question. Then we see this:
Whilst mens nipples only took up about a page of discussion, NCT is pimping a book about 101 frequently asked questions about homosexuality. I'm not sure about you, but I don't really have any questions about it let alone 101....let alone to have this book in my library.
The people who got Kennedy elected are still lingering in the shadows. More fraud in Indiana (in parts that are spitting distance to Chicago)? Let's decide this with a good old fashion Mayor fight.
We're political masochists around here and try to help candidates that sometimes seem unhelpable (is that a word?). This was posted yesterday on Mike Gravel's official website. Mike Gravel for President! Or something?...
