I hate winter, pandemics and spending too much time on the internet. Just skimming through that thing made me dizzy. Glad I don't watch BM.

Ok Whoah. Did that guy just say, "Islam is the motherload of bad ideas"? Holy smokes. Sorry I am as stunned as Ben Affleck on this one.

I get it. The guys Bill Maher's age were the parents of people your age, which is why you're so damn confused over right and wrong. Never going to watch Maher though.

I'll just defer to Jeff Daniels.

reply

You mean to defend Islam here? Is that correct?

reply

Your fake outrage is pathetic.

reply

Affleck comes off as uneducated and somewhat unintelligent in that segment. He doesn't grasp what the others are saying, and keeps making irrelevant analogies. I wonder if he watched later and understood his blunders, or remains in a state of self-righteous unawareness to this day?

reply

He's just another Hollywood shill.

reply

Seems pretty Boston to me. Maher is definitely hollywood though. What a couple of creeps those two guys he was setting straight were.

reply

Of course.

From his pinky toe to the top of his head, he is pure Hollyweird.

reply

Hmm I just gained more respect for him after that. I thought perhaps he was just a shadow of Matt Damon but looks like he can lay it down like any other Bostonian and set those hollywood frauds like Bill Maher straight. What disgusting people.

reply

That was pretty bad, but over the years since Sam Harris, as right as he was to label radical Islam as the mother of all bad ideas, turned out to be just as big a dud.

reply

“ Lost all respect for him after his Bill Maher appearance.”

Wait….are you saying you once had respect for him? Really?

reply

Certainly a low point for him, but have to take it in context. He is Hollywood (and bows down to those Hollywood gods), was not well educated on this particular subject, and made an ill-fated attempt to challenge Sam Supergenius Harris on one of the topics he is very well versed in. If I didn't know what Islam is really all about, I might have sympathized with his point of view, but I (and I am guessing you) see Islam through the same lens that Sam Harris does. I am guessing after that embarrassment, he has researched it further and hopefully has a more informed point of view.

reply

It kinda is the mother of bad ideas in the sense there is rarely any freedom for women, they still don't like gays in most Islamic states and would gladly throw them off a roof if they could, stoning is allowed or public execution by hanging and such. There is a lot of backwardness with Islam. I mean look at Afghanistan. We're leaving that crap hole and it's already devolving back into primal age. Same thing happened to Iraq after we left there and the Lybia situation or Lebanon. Unless you're a heavy handed dictator or authoritative government, they'll go animalistic. Just look at the freedom scale for the Middle Eastern countries and you'll see the bigger picture. They take religion to a way whole nother level like the cult Christians do.

reply

Lol everything you wrote is mostly a load of made up bs, you clearly know nothing about Islam, you must be a scared cuckservative who watches Faux News.

reply

That was a concise rebuttal..... As with most kook fringe leftists, all you have is name calling. Fail.

reply

Yeah it was pretty concise, the guy clearly knows nothing about Islam and is just a dumb racist/islamaphobe idiot with no education. You
People do indeed fail. Now suckle on my knob of defeat. It’s also sad and pathetic you right wing lunatics consider anyone who doesn’t hate gays or Muslims to be “leftists.” I’m literally a fiscal conservative and Libertarian. Try again tardo.

reply

Whatever you say, dude bro. Your man bun's loose.

reply

Sam Harris is a Zionist shill and hack, he is a moron who knows nothing of what he talks about. So is Bill Maher.

I LOVE AFFLECK...RIGHT OR WRONG...HE IS HIS OWN MAN.

ben wants muslims to take over america with sharia law.

reply

SURE.

reply

Is that the same show where he randomly attacks Richard Dawkins? I like Affleck as Batman but he's not much of a thinker.
