BBC in Gaza

There is lots to be said about the ongoing/latest conflict between these two civilized *ahem* nations, honestly there is nothing the rest of the world enjoys covering then your classic religious war, it's very easy to pick sides no matter who the aggressor is, just look to the sky and listen to your god.

Anyway, in this case a 6 months cease recently ended and Hamas started attacking Israeli neighborhoods, so Israel retaliated by carpet bombing the Gaza strip.

Anyhooo... It all sounds like it's going to be a long conflict, Peace talks between Syria and Israel crumbled today and now the Iranian Ayatollah calling for Muslims to defend against Israel. These conflicts always make me a little nervous because you never know when the powder keg will explode.

Enough about the current, Archived today was this Channel 4 Documentary about the Hamas, which I added to the Archive today.

One great find was the entire Charles Darwin Voyage BBC Series Documentary. Darwin started his voyage on this day in 1831.

It feels like Bush is already gone, don't worry he's still angering Muslims all over the world. were close though, less then a week till election day.

This Bush guy was a mess, a complete mistake, check out this snippet from the documentary, about Bush and head of Al Zawahiri This is beyond fucked up. Full Doc follows.


Crazy eh! Now be a hero and vote it up on Reddit!

This Documentary blew my mind, in fact, everything George Bush related blows my mind, I for one can't wait for him to be gone from the world stage. I look forward to seeing for once in my life short life just what America can do with an intelligent leader in charge. After all the wars and calamities of the last 8 years, I'll be happy to see a steady hand in charge, maybe instead of making problems America will fix some.

CBC Documentary - The Bush Years

Kalane and I went to see Religulous tonight on opening day. I am a huge Bill Maher fan and ever since I heard he was going to release a documentary about Atheism, I've been pretty eager to see it. I first heard about it well over a year ago now.

Anyway, I saw it, it was exactly how I expected it to be - Bill Maher traveling around talking to religious people and telling em they are nuts - And thats what it was, for two hours. There are highlights however, I laughed my ass off when Bill Maher ranted about Scientology in Hyde Park.



Anyway, the whole documentary reminded me of the all the great Atheist Eye Candy I have seen across the web in my Day. Online video has really brought videos about Atheism to a wide audience, you simply don't see anything about non-religious people in media and in the news. So when I first came across Johnathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief, I was thrilled, what a mind blowing experience.



Miller is cool, and that documentary was smart. BBC this is content you just don't get on our 100+ channels, even if your 100+ TV has BBC, what are the odds you would stumble into the program. The Internet, bam, its there. A great documentary, I recommend.

When Root of all Evil and the Virus of Faith hit the net a couple years ago, Atheism exploded, suddenly Harris, Dennet, Hitchens and of course Dawkins are best sellers, Atheism started to even get mentioned in the mainstream. Crazy I know. Anyway the Dawkins documentaries went straight for the heart of organized religion and called it abuse. The Root of All Evil got some additional life and value after the Ted Haggard scandal broke.



Also on my Top Atheist Eye Candy list from the past couple years is Brian Flemming's The God who Wasn't there.


And Penn and Teller's The Bible is Bullshit episode.
