-Bluejay (a.k.a. Mantis, Thylacosmilus)Darwin loves you.

Hi Bluejay, felicitous festivals to you, Not all aabba verse is limerick, as you say, for there is a meter of insouciance involved in any good limerick Hope you'll enjoy the season of the winter solstice without strain or pain, and find cheer where it is best found.Enjoy.

When did anything stop you? Certainly
reasoned argument versus fallacy after fallacy
hasn't done the task.
It seems too much to ask
when logic's exposed your evidential inadequacybut adversity is not the spirit of the season
so let this end, to some folks' pleasin:
when it comes to rhyme
I've done the time
and I'll leave the argument to reason. Only for one who believes they can ignore reality and the several logical problems with their position/s. Curiously, the ability to rhyme does not mean one has the ability to make a cogent argument, or that one deals with the actual issues in the process.So you get an oscar for the longest pointless rhyme.Enjoy

Oh Oni what have you done? You really should not encourage me when it comes to this sort of thing. The past couple of days I have been noting down every single dumbass thought and rhyme that makes me chuckle and grin exactly as I used to do 20 odd years ago. As a punk-ass white boy it used to be my way of getting my own back on the school bullies and generally garnering some sort of respect as a teenager. Anyway - Here is my latest (and I promise last ever) EvC rap effort.Talk about reality and evidentiality. Sometimes morality. Express your personality.
Welcome to EvC forum.

Except to say the London meet was a suc-cess.Next on the list is badass Rahvin
Leaves his opponents logically malnourished. Argumentally starving.
Faith based irrationality gets a carving.
Like meat off the bone. Quick hand me a phone. Dial 911 and take a step back because the Rahv is on the attack.
Blood goes everywhere. Deists dare not even stare. Theists cry it's not fair. He just doesn't care. Limbs fly here and there.
Creos get a wicked scare. Leaves them cold and bare. Fills them with despair.
Because Everybody is aware...
That Rahvin - is immense.
Dismissing the logically flawed, evidentially poor and intellectually dense.Next we turn to the Tazmanian Devil
He likes to party. He likes to revel.
On the subject of perversity he likes to promote diversity.
Yeah he enjoys adversity.
But apparent-ly his special-ity is the moral-ity of sexual-ity.
For those who don't know. He's a fan of bestial-ity.
Sex external to the normal family trees.
Even that mangey dog? Hell dude it's got fleas!
And what on Earth have you done to that chicken? Whatever it was it looks shell shocked and stricken.

Conspiratorial maniac. Doesn't take any flak.
Always up for the crack. Much enjoyed my rap attack.
If he comes to London we'll meet - This is true.
Hang out. Drink brews. Smack a bigot or two.CS - He's agnostic to cheese.
He's the member I most like to tease.
Every slice of pizza is a voyage of discovery.
Buy shares in mozzarella. Aid the financial recovery.
He says gods and dogs are equally evidenced.
While LindaLou squeels "RAZD for world president!"
For Christs sake. Why don't those two get a room?
Gaze adoringly while they ponder the morphic fields of shrooms.
Do not disturb sign on the door.
Inside they expose their "logical flaws".Talking of RAZD and his perception of reality. I really should just leave him be.
Something of a nemesis. Of dissing him I should desist. I really really must resist. Posting rhymes when I am pissed.
Whether god does exist. Time to put down our fists. Shake hands and clear the mist.

Him and Hyro too. Sometimes I think they been sniffin glue.
Destined to disagree with liberals like me through and through.(**BLINK**) Did you just say that?
Some here say he's quite a twat.
But I think this is because his arguments are hard to manage.
With facts and questions he does a-lot of damage
Cannot be pinned down. Or disparaged.
Opponents get the death march and a horse drawn carriage.
But whatever you do - just don't mention gay sex - or marriage.I think the Granny is under-rated.
About time she was congratulated.
She exposes those who say god created.
Tells them in detail how life mutated
Leaving their lies dev-astated.
All this she does with great aplomb.
Creos scattered.
Hit by her intell-ec-tual bomb.Buzsaw. He drives me mad.
But when he returned I was glad.
His topic is bending bars.

Don't even start on quantum mechanics.
Which brings me to Cave-diver.
In the realm of physics there is none wiser.

Welcome to EvC forum.
Where the members are the quorum.
EvC forum cast and crew.
This rhyme has been all about - YOU.Peace and love to the EvC posse 2009. Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh BooooooooooyyyyyEdited by Straggler, : No reason given.Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.Edited by Straggler, : Silly changes

Insane, but I like it. 5 stars. Just don't forget to mention Meldinoor in your next rhyme, MC. Respectfully,-Meldinoor

Oh you ain't seen nuthin yet!! Message 109Curiously I think that was all done and dusted well before the rhyming started.But like I said when I get bored enough I'll start a thread on the objectification of subjectivity and you are more than welcome to take part if you think your position can hold up to it.Happy New year

Hi Strag. Nice work; definitely a five-er, but hey man, next time you're inspired, bless us with more!

BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.
The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

Really good stuff Thanks for going to the effort! I really like the above phrase hehe, not sure I've ever heard "epistemology" in a rhyme hehe.Edited by Briterican, : No reason given.

Been out of the country for a few, just getting to see the latest and greatest lyrical masterpiece from Strag MC.Once again, sick dude! That's awesome! Fuck yea dude. I hope that feeling felt good, creativity is what breaks us free from the normal and mondaine. With lyrics like these it seems like you grew up in 8 Mile.All great stuff - just a few of my favs: But, my #1 pic, which, if you we battling, would be the lyric we'd all start shouting for: Brilliant. Seriously. Glad I could motivate you to write this dude. Secretly though, my favorite lyrics were the ones that talked about me. You should have been tougher on petro(the bitch)physics. Worrrrrd to ya mutha!- Oni

Did I mention that I grew up in a trailer and was raised by Kim Bassinger? I agree. And I did. But it just got blatantly abusive. So I left it out.Anyway glad you enjoyed but enough is enough. I am doing the modern day equivalent of when my dad used to get drunk and sing Dylan lyrics. It was when he tried to dance that I had to leave the room. The grasping of rekindled youth by the middle aged is never an attractive sight.Enough.Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.

Whilst I am tempted to write you a verse I have sworn to hang up my EvC microphone. Apologies to you and anyone else I left out. I could have gone on much longer but still would have missed out plenty of people.And anyway writing the more abusive rhymes about those you disagree with is far more fun

That's impressive. Good job. and you say that the absence of evidence is evidence of absence and that there being no empirical evidence for gods means that they must not exist.

Thanks. I think. From Message 302You gotta admit that taken at face value this is kinda hilarious and very piss-take worthy? Nah. Because as we have all agreed, including you and RAZD, there is not and can never be a complete absence of all objective evidence. And "must"? Nah. Because as we have all agreed certainty is not an option when making evidenced based arguments. Only likelihood. But if you wanna disagree again we start yet another thread and go over it all yet again. If you want.Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.

It was a sincere compliment. The rhythm and rhymes were really good in my ignorant opinion (I really only like metal and never listen(ed) to much rap). No thanks.And had I known that you were gonna take me out of context to have a laugh rather than put in an honest effort into understanding my position then I would have been more reserved.

Dear Straggler, basking in the glow of appreciation for your rap-ability, please: What we agree is that objective evidence exists, it just doesn't necessarily apply to your position, and you have to employ several logical fallacies in order to assume such connections.We all agree that there is mountains of objective evidence that mushrooms grow in the dark at night under a new moon when it rains - this just doesn't happen to show that god/s do not, or cannot, exist, just that mushrooms grow in the dark at night under a new moon when it rains.We also agree that there is objective empirical evidence that shows certain details of certain maps to be inaccurate in those details (the early conceptions of gravity being such a case), but that these inaccuracies do not invalidate the terrain (mountains, etc) being portrayed, only the specific portrayals - and thus these too do not show that god/s do not, or cannot, exist, just that the portrayals are not valid representations. Also falsified, (see previous for summary falsification) leaving you once again as a pseudoskeptic, employing logical fallacy after logical fallacy, attempting to support a position that is by definition and form logically invalid from the start.What you have is only possibility.You can sing and you can dance, but your personal opinion cannot change this reality, as, curiously, reality is unconcerned about your opinions, biases, preconceptions, and beliefs. Nor does reality need to be put into verse in order to falsify your position/s.I could say that your apparent inability to see\understand\recognize this simple set of facts earns you the blind-atheist oscar, and award of equal value to the blind-theist oscar (whatever? johnjohn10:10 etc?)Enjoy.
