Irony

I find it ironic that the same person cursing “the Muslims” for their “backwards” view of womens rights, can then complain about gay marriage.

Not to go all “logical” on you, but in both circumstances you’re falling back on written scripture and “my religion forbids it” as your reasoning. So you can either have one or the other, but not both.  Granted, in either circumstance your “get out of logical fallacy free” card is “but my religion is the one true religion, and the other one is a false religion, so therefore my scripture trumps that one,” in which case I can no longer help you because logic and reason will hold no sway over your beliefs*

*Note, this does not apply to all Christians, Muslims, or other religious adherents - only those who would fall back on picking and choosing from frequently mistranslated scripture as a defense mechanism against modernity and simple humanity.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip.tv, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Wikileaks")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
