01) dirty old guy talks dirty to kids

Of course, this video is a spoof…clearly a skit for public entertainment purposes…So, to equate it with “grooming” seems rather outlandish.

I’m not suggesting this video has especially good entertainment value…it’s not especially funny…and comes off like an unfunny guy, trying to make his “inappropriate” belligerence come off like comedy.

All the same…how many of us had that “crazy uncle” [or aunt, grandmother, etc.], who generally talked with us kids like that?…jokes about genitalia…calling people sexual slurs…expressing a desire to have sex with someone…

…I had at least one…

Admittedly…probably most people aren’t going to go out of their way, to do this with children so young as those in the video…

…But sexual joshing, is a pretty common familial thing.

I think people were making something of this, that it really wasn’t.

People were calling for this guy to be investigated by child protection services.

01) Institutions of Higher Indoctrination

“Professor Janice Fiamengo, University of Ottawa, speaks about the negative effect that academic feminism has on freedom of speech. Examples of the increasingly drastic measures used to enforce adherence to policies imposed by gender ideologues clearly demonstrate the validity of Fiamengo’s warning.

01) Sam Harris – How Do We Cope With Death?

“Samuel Benjamin “Sam” Harris (born April 9, 1967) is an American author, philosopher, and neuroscientist. He is the co-founder and chief executive of Project Reason, a non-profit organization that promotes science and secularism, and host of the Waking Up podcast. His book The End of Faith (2004), a critique of organized religion, appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list for 33 weeks and also won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction in 2005. Letter to a Christian Nation (2006) was a response to criticism of The End of Faith. In The Moral Landscape (2010), Harris argues that science can help answer moral problems and aid human well-being. He subsequently published a long-form essay Lying in 2011, the short book Free Will in 2012, Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion in 2014 and, with British activist Maajid Nawaz, Islam and the Future of Tolerance: A Dialogue in 2015.

Here Sam talks about death and the present moment. And how religion gives false but consoling answers to people who cope with death. But should religion be the only game in town to provide answers about death?
