The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity

The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity were first outlined by Carlo M. Cipolla, Professor Emeritus of Economic History at Berkeley, in an essay called The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity. D'oh!
==The Laws of Stupidity == 
===Zeroth Law===
There is no upper bound on the amount of stupidityThe question whether there exists a unit of stupidity is irrelevant. The existence of quantifiable stupidity follows from the existence of the comparative and superlative word forms. that can exist within any particular individual.
===First Law===
We always underestimate the number of stupid people.
Not as obvious as it sounds, because:
#people we had thought to be rational and intelligent suddenly turn out to be unquestionably stupid;
#day after day we are hampered in whatever we do by stupid people who invariably turn up in the least appropriate places, and
#the underestimation is after the first law itself is already accounted for.
===Second Law===
The probability of a person being stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
===Third (and Golden) Law===
A stupid person is someone who causes damage to another person, or a group of people, without any advantage accruing to himself (or herself) — or even with some resultant self-damage.
===Fourth Law===
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid people.Sadly the law still stands . They constantly forget that at any moment, and in any circumstance, associating with stupid people invariably constitutes an expensive mistake.
===Fifth Law===
A stupid person is the most dangerous person in existence. Prof. Cipolla adds a corollary to the fifth law: a stupid person is thus more dangerous than a bandit.

The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye is a 1951 novel by American author J.D. Salinger.http://www.amazon.com/Catcher-Rye-J-D-Salinger/dp/0316769177/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313723419&sr=8-1 It features a disconnected protagonist and narrator named Holden Caulfield who has become a prominent symbol of adolescent rebellion and anomie. Caulfield, an intelligent boy, expresses a general disgust at the "phoniness" of the world, sullenly lashing out as a cover for his underlying vulnerability. One of the central themes of the book is how disaffection can be a way to protect innocence. 
The book's title comes from Robert Burns' poem, Comin' thro the Rye: "Gin a body meet a body, comin thro' the rye,/
Gin a body kiss a body, need a body cry". Burns' poem is about inner conflict in sex and relationships and whether they should maintain their innocence. In the book itself, it related to a fantasy of Caulfield's where he imagines himself as a guardian of children, a hero who stands in a field of rye by a cliff and safely catches them before they can tumble off in their play. Sometimes Caulfield thinks of his dead younger brother, Allie, and wishes he could have been there to catch him. 
==Plot summary==
Taking place sometime in the post-World War 2 era (late 1940s/early 1950s), 
==Favorite read of deranged murderers==
While the book has become a classic and extremely popular among youthAmerican Adolescent, Adam Golub, Forbes 30 January 2010 for its pitch-perfect expression of teenage angst, it has also had a strange association with others who perceive themselves as outsiders. John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman, and the attempted assassin of President Ronald Reagan, John Hinkley Jr., both shared a particular connection with the book. This has led to some to formulate conspiracy theories that the book was a "trigger" — or even that it caused them to become assassins.http://www.hiddenmysteries.org/conspiracy/reststory/fbirye.html In the Mel Gibson movie Conspiracy Theory, this is illustrated and mocked by the central character's obsessive accumulation of copies of Catcher.
Needless to say, there is no evidence of this. Because the government has destroyed it. Tell the people. Tell the world. If you doubt this conspiracy, consider this sinister fact: The Catcher in the Rye is widely believed to be the source of the pernicious fashion of wearing baseball caps backwards."I put on this hat that I’d bought in New York that morning. It was this red hunting hat, with one of those very, very long peaks. I saw it in the window of this sports store when we got out of the subway, just after I noticed I'd lost all the goddam foils. It only cost me a buck. The way I wore it, I swung the old peak way around to the back—very corny, I'll admit, but I liked it that way. I looked good in it that way."
==Controversy and censorship==
Between 1961 and 1982, The Catcher in the Rye was the most censored title in US high schools and libraries.http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-104449982.html

The Christian Post

The Christian Post, established in July 2000, is a daily evangelical newspaper published by the Christian Post Company, which is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The newspaper, which is pan-denominational, claims that it is "the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of Christian-related news in the United States and a majority of the world."About The Christian Post
CP also has a website that bears a striking resemblance to another news website that the readers and contributors to TCP have often lambasted for being librul.
==Getting friendly with the FFAF==
The Christian Post appears to really, really like the Freedom From Atheism Foundation, and has multiple articles on how the FFAF bravely stands up to those intolerant, militant, militant atheists.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.christianpost.com/amp/freedom-from-religion-how-about-freedom-from-atheism-119389/ Also like FFAF, TCP also seems to believe that they are being bullied/persecuted whenever they find someone who doesn’t believe in their particular deity.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.christianpost.com/amp/freedom-from-religion-how-about-freedom-from-atheism-119389/
In their own words, they have this to say:
==Transphobia==
Unsurprisingly, The Christian Post is guilty of numerous forms of bigotry, including transphobia. Reacting to the mere presence of trans women in the Olympics, it screamed "biological male", purposefully misgendering the athlete.Christian Post bigotry-filled article It has also repeatedly dubbed transgender rights "promotion of transgender ideology".Another Christian Post bigotry-filled article

The Conquest of Space

"The Conquest of Space" is a document by that purports to show that the Qur'an contains scientific foreknowledge when it "predicted" that humans could enter space.
 
==Maurice Bucaille==
Bucaille's was a curious story: he was a successful gastroenterologist and amateur Egyptologist who was raised a Christian in France. Amongst his prestigious patients, a position as doctor to Egyptian president Anwar Sadat led to him making detailed study of mummies as well as exposure to Islam.All Wrapped Up In His Work, New York Times, 3 Feb 1991 He apparently concluded based on comparing Quranic accounts to the injuries inflicted on mummies that the Quran was historically and scientifically accurate, and wrote books including The Quran, the Bible and Science and The Origin of Man setting out his views about how the Quran prefigures scientific truth. Although his relation to scientific truth is questionable: he opposes Darwinism and particularly the idea that man evolved from apes.Why I Embraced Islam?, The Islamic Bulletin, issue 6 He seems particularly fond of arguing with people, whether egyptologists or Darwinists.
The Christian apologist William Campbell published a detailed critique of Bucaille's ideas, focused on The Quran, the Bible and Science. Some of Campbell's objections are questionable, such as Campbell's belief that Non-overlapping magisteria means the scientific truth of scriptures is irrelevant. However Campbell also sets out various examples of how claims such as "He turned to the heaven when it was smoke..." could be conceived as in accordance or contradiction with scriptures.The Qur'an and the Bible in the light of history and science, William Campbell, 1.2 He points out numerous problems with Bucaille's theories, from asking why God would stick random biological facts in the middle of unrelated narratives, to lengthy sections with headings like "The place of semen production".The Qur'an and the Bible in the light of history and science, William Campbell, 4.2
It is commonly said that Bacaille converted to Islam as a result of his studies, but some people have contested that.Is Dr. Maurice Bucaille a Muslim?, answering-islam.org. However there is no formal process to become a Muslim, or badge or certificate or public ceremony requiredHow to Become a Muslim, WikiHow, so the question may be hard to answer.

The Conservative Camp

No, not that kind of "camp". Which is a pity.
The Conservative Camp is an American political website that is targeted to a "center-right" audience, mainly conservative. The site advocates a "return to the tested, proven and reliable core conservative principles and values that in the past have created economic stability, security through strength and creating an environment of entrepreneurship through individual freedom. A return to the Reagan Doctrine of lower taxes on all Americans and a firm, but fair, foreign policy." (Like our totally not one-sided fight with Grenada, perhaps?)
It is heavily promoted by its owner, Wikipedia editor "RJDCC". His pathetic attempt to promote it at Wikipedia has met with disdain,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Conservative_Camp as they don't seem to understand what "notability" means there. 
Founded and edited by Robert Ditmar in March 2003, the site has had two different periods of activity, the first lasting from February 2003 to January 2004. After a hiatus of almost five years, the site relaunched in the autumn fall of 2009 and is becoming more and more pathetic in its desperate attempt to claim it influences public opinion.
The site itself is dead, though a Facebook group is still active.
==History==
The Conservative Camp was originally founded in 2003. But we said that already.
The original site was largely a static site that needed to be manually updated. The Conservative Camp was really into killing Arabs and Muslims, supporting the Afghanistan invasion and Iraq War and the security policies of President George W. Bush, yet it was critical of Bush's departure from true Reagan conservatism.
After almost an entire year on the internet, Ditmar forgot to pay the domain name renewal fee and took his ball and went home.
In 2009, The Conservative Camp was re-launched in an entirely new format, thanks to the development of "web 2.0" tools.
The site continued to be owned and operated by web 2.0 tool Robert Ditmar, who served as both Editor and Senior Writer for the site. As of April 2010, the site had nine regular columnists, including Ditmar, who each maintained their own individual blogs within the site.
==Content==
The Conservative Camp was a full-scale conservative information website portal that is modeled in the style of really bad business jargon.
The Conservative Camp also contained "original content", created by the above-referenced geniuses columnists, bloggers and guest contributing authors. 
In addition to news, editorials, opinions and blogs, the site contained other lame shit.[What? Actually, no, we don't care.]
The site was like, really proud that they have copies of the U.S. Constitution, the and the Declaration of Independence available for download.

The Crying Boy

The Crying Boy was one of a series of kitschy paintings by 20th century Italian painter who produced paintings of crying children. Prints of it were popular and widely distributed in Europe from the 1950s to the 1980s, its popularity ended due to mass panic over its being "cursed".
==Urban legend==
Mass panic was propagated by the British tabloid The Sun in 1985. The first article, published in September, brought up Essex-based firefighters who were disturbed by copies of the painting surviving undamaged in several house fires. Over the next two months the story developed into claims that an alarming number of house fire victims were owners of the painting, fueling belief that the painting was somehow causing fires — as opposed to it simply being a very popular painting that was bound to end up in a house fire at some point. By the end of November The Sun began organizing mass burnings of copies to satisfy its readership, apparently forgetting that it was the paintings' not burning that supposedly made them special. An investigation by the BBC radio show Punt PI claimed that the mass-produced paintings were treated with a varnish that contained a fire retardant.Punt PI, Episode 4, Series 3 BBC Radio 4.

The Dark Side of Charles Darwin: A Critical Analysis of an Icon of Science

The Dark Side of Charles Darwin: A Critical Analysis of an Icon of Science is an anti-evolution book written in 2011 by Jerry Bergman, a Christian young earth creationist.
==Overview==
In the book Bergman writes that the majority of the public have been brainwashed into thinking Charles Darwin was a nice man when in reality he was a sexist and emotionally unstable husband, sadistic killer of animals, supporter of eugenics and racism and was mentally ill. Bergman also claims Darwin was evil and satanic.The Dark Side of Charles Darwin Review by Kitty Foth-RegnerCreationist WebsiteReview of The Dark Side of Charles Darwin
==Reception==
Most scientists have ignored the book as it contains no evidence against evolution. Sara Joan Miles, a Historian of Science, reviewed the book and wrote:
 
Even if all the claims in the book were true about Darwin's character and personal life it would not change the validity of the theory, since scientific theories are grounded on the evidence behind them, not the personal character of those who create them.

The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin

The Darwin Myth: The Life and Lies of Charles Darwin is an intelligent design book written by Benjamin Wiker and was published by Regnery Publishing in 2009. The title is possibly stolen from The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, which appears in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling.
==Overview==
Wiker claims in the book that Charles Darwin was behind a mass conspiracy of hijacking science from theism and turning it into an ideological atheism. Like many other creationist writers he also claims in the book that "Darwinism" is responsible for all of the world's evils including everything from nazism, abortion and euthanasia to mass murder and sexism.
Wiker's main claim Rebuttal
Darwin set out to create a Godless version of evolution and turn science into atheism. There is no evidence that Darwin set out to create a Godless version of evolution or turn science into an atheistic ideology. In his book On Origin of the Species Darwin wrote: 
In 1879 John Fordyce wrote to Darwin asking him if theism and evolution were compatible and Darwin replied that they were. He also wrote 
==Reception==
In the book Wiker proposes a version of theistic evolution which he says Darwin ignored and supressed. However Wiker uses arguments similar to creationists and believes that the "Darwinists" have ignored the evidence for intelligent design.
The book has been reviewed as a religious Christian creationist book and is not taken seriously by scientists or historians of science. In a review Sander Gliboff a Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana University wrote:
The only support for the book has been from the intelligent design community such as those at the Discovery Institute.Uncommon Descent Article

The Demon-Haunted World

The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark () is a book centered around scientific skepticism written by Carl Sagan.The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan (1995) Random House. ISBN 0345409469. It was the second to last book he wrote before his death. Though it is less famous than Cosmos, many prominent skeptics have praised the book for its clarity and is touted as a common introduction to scientific skepticism.Michael Shermer has a YouTube video explaining the Baloney Detection Kit chapter The last two chapters, "Science and Witchcraft" and "Real Patriots Ask Questions" are co-written with Sagan's wife Ann Druyan and contains a notice that these chapters are the most "political" of the book. At the beginning of each chapter, Sagan furnishes a quote or two relevant to the subject being discussed, a common trait of nearly all of his popular science non-fiction work.
==Synopsis==
An overall intent of the book is to introduce laypeople to the scientific method and to thinking skeptically. Throughout, Sagan explains what the scientific method is, how it operates, and how to apply critical thinking to claims. The book is organized in essays that expound a particular subject, though each of the essays can also be read independently. Subjects explored in the book include pseudoscience, UFOs, religion, satanic ritual abuse, skepticism, anti-science, New Age belief, Social Darwinism, ESP, flat Earth, ghosts, demons, astrology, false memory syndrome, psychics, and witchcraft.
==Notable chapters==
===The Most Precious Thing & Science and Hope===
Here Sagan elaborates on why science might well be the most precious invention of the human civilization and expands upon its modern modes of functioning. The "Science and Hope" chapter continues in the spirit of the previous chapter. Sagan explains that more than a body of knowledge, science is a way of thinking.
Sagan was particularly concerned about the dovetailing of scientific illiteracy with superstition and anti-intellectualism. Decades later, a quote from this chapter was frequently shared on social media by those concerned about the same, who often also saw Sagan's words as rather prescient."The world needs Carl Sagan now more than ever" by Vlad Savov, Verge, 2017 January 24th
