The ongoing media campaign to make the economy the monofocus of our societies continues on unabated. Do almost any news search and you will see economic principles overlaid and tied to the idea that somehow they are related to how healthy and how “good” a society actually is. Economic health is but one part […]

Dead Wild Roses: Rape in the Bible – An easy guide.
Ah, the moral paragon that the bible claims to be, yet not one Commandment such as “thou shall not rape”… Pretty easy for an all knowing, all powerful being to foresee no? Apparently not.

Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Objective Morality? – Not the christain god, not ever.
The problem with making a reasonable argument is that it takes time and patience to construct properly. Nonstampcollector makes a great video showing exactly how unonbjective the christian god actually is. Guaranteed to make the religious cringe as they face contradiction after contradiction, and precisely why the video appears on this blog. Filed under: Religion […]
Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Religious Disservice – Heaven’s Promise, christian fools.
One of the problems with christianity (and other made up bullshite) is that if given the time to actually think about what believing in it actually entails, you can easily end up among the growing ranks of the unwashed atheist hoard. The problem is squaring with what you been told with what actually is. If […]
Dead Wild Roses: Lewis Lapham – 9/11 Revisited, mythology exposed.
The stories woven by official narratives often have little to with the reality of the situation. Lewis Lapham, editorially in Harper’s Magazine, was bold enough to contradict the official version of events. He lost subscribers, was labelled “unamerican” and worse, for his views. Listen to what he has to say as we near the approved […]

Dead Wild Roses: The Ayn Rand Six-Step – Objective Fail, Again.
The objectivist camp suffers another blow as parodied by this fine article by John Atcheson. Reprinted here for because a good objectivist smackdown is always welcome at DWR. Thanks to Ben Hoffman for bringing this article to my attention. Published on Friday, September 2, 2011 by CommonDreams.org Atlas Mugged: The Ayn Rand Six Step by […]
Dead Wild Roses: Fouling Low Earth Orbit – Our Shortsighted Species Stumbles Onward
Early primate hunters nearly initiated their own extinction by using the advanced technology of the time to stress their environment and hunt at unsustainable levels. At one time, our future rested on less than 20,000 individuals world wide. Luckily we did not die off completely and came to flourish and expand across the globe. Despite […]
Dead Wild Roses: Waffle King Obama Shits on Environment – Big Business Cheers.
Hope and Change. Neither apply to the appallingly right-centre Obama administration. Unless of course you count change for the worse: “President Barack Obama is sacking a controversial proposed regulation tightening government smog standards, bowing to the demands of congressional Republicans and some business leaders.” Oh fantastic, because business has its knickers in a twist and […]
Dead Wild Roses: Anti-Choice Nuttery on the Web – The Forced Birth Brigade now with Jebus!
Somedays you go looking for trouble, other days you just step in it. On a whim I followed a link from a discussion over at The Drudgeretort back to one of the commenters own little putrid slice of the blogosphere. I was greeted by the feverish ramblings of the delusional in favour stripping women of […]
Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – We’re held together by Jesus!
Science and religion do not mix. Science deals with observable reality and provable fact while religion deals with myth, magic and superstition. Combining the two is a prescription for horrible science and laughable predictions. This video is shining example of both in which through the wonders of science we can finally see one of the […]
Dead Wild Roses: We miss you George – Pro Life, Abortion and the Sanctity of Life
George Carlin in his usual raw, uncensored style examines how silly the anti-choice, anti-woman position is.
George not doing his routine.

Romantic Music here we come! Few works for the concert hall have won such immediate and continuing popularity as Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 ‘From the New World’. Dramatic, lyrical, and spacious, it presents a rich panorama of ravishing and exciting orchestral colours, reflecting the experiences and emotions of the great Czech composer during his years […]
Dead Wild Roses: Steven Lewis – Jack Layton’s Eulogy
Mr. Layton will be fondly remembered by progressive Canadians. I count myself in that group. Thank you for all of your hard work toward making Canada a nation to be proud of. Jack’s struggle is over. But his legacy and ideals live on. From the song below… “There’s a blaze of light in every word […]
Dead Wild Roses: Our Place in the Universe – Supernova Examined
Astronomy is fantastic when done correctly and edited to make it all bright and shiny. From Bad Astronomy: “First of all, a supernova is an exploding star — one of the most violent events in the Universe. There are different kinds of supernovae, but a Type Ia occurs, it’s thought, when a superdense […]

Dead Wild Roses: What Atheists do in a Crisis? – Prepare (duh)
It is awesome to watch the faithful whirl in indignation when they are called on the bullshite they believe in. I’m not sure what Fox news was trying to do with this piece other than making their hosts look foolish. The US is plodding back to the Dark Ages with their delusional christian inanity at […]
