POPSTeaching hate - Proof ignorance exists among parents This photo and others like it make me very angry. Anger towards the parents that are using their children to promote hate and intolerance. Bigotry and hate are yet alive and well in our society and we need to ban together to aid in eliminating it. The photo is sad. The photo is a lie. I can hear Jesus now saying, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." And I am sure that these children have no clue what they are depicting by wearing these (rags) shirts. Shame on the parents or guardians of them! POP ME IF YOU AGREE!

POPSThe American Religious Crisis It startles me how quickly these stories are coming. With news like this, it is impossible to not further explore the conflict between modern society and fundamentalist faith. I believe that the inevitable progress of society, and the fundamentalist rejection of modernism and defiance of that progress can only end in some major sort of spiritual collapse. The fact that, in these times, so many feel so violently uncomfortable with progress and the future strikes me as the defining conflict of our times. What is bring about such a large scale rejection of modernity? Why is progress so often equated with sin? The pat answers that we always offer somehow ring hollow. They haven't been able to reconcile this conflict, and neither sides seems to address the humanity of the other. If we continue down this divisive path, there is no future for spirituality in America.

POPSIDF:"Bet you got raped!""1 shot, 2 kills""Better use Durex" Every child murder and rapist needs one. Durex? No, bullets and his owner designed T-shirt depicting how masterful a boastful killer he really is. Zionist snipers with small minds, smaller dicks and big guns, supplied free gratis by the USA. Dead children only rate one notch. Arab virgins rate 5 notches.

POPSClipmarks Group in Second Life Yes, our community is now expanding its boundaries in this virtual world ;) Clipmarks User Group was founded yesterday and it has 4 members by now (one of our first members was the most loved person of SL and our fellow clipper, Linden Lab's SL Community Executive Torley .) If you are a SL resident as well as being an active clipper, make a search in "groups" and join. You'll not only have a cool "Clipmarker" tag just above your head, but you'll get your free Clipmarks t-shirts and a steamy Clipmarks mug as well. :) The group was founded for communication between CM users in SL, as well as organizing special events (like "Mojito Nights" ;) ) and many other activities.... And there may also come new surprises of course ;)

POPSBullies Pick On Pink-shirted Frosh - School Picks On Bullies They also brought a pink basketball to school as well as pink material for headbands and arm bands. David and Travis figure about half the school’s 830 students wore pink. When the bullied student put on his pink shirt Friday and saw all the other pink in the lobby, "he was all smiles. It was like a big weight had been lifted off is shoulder," David said. No one at the school would reveal the student’s name. Travis said that growing up, he was often picked on for wearing store-brand clothes instead of designer duds.

POPSPsycho Buildings at the Hayward Gallery "The Viennese collective Gelitin, for instance, has turned the western sculpture terrace into a boating lake. You don't get many opportunities in this city to row a boat 12 metres (40ft) above the ground while looking down at the river."

POPSCan i have the Barack Obama doll and ice cream? “I absolutely love the man.” The margins are sky-high: a T-shirt that costs between $5 and $7 will retail for $15 to $25. “There has never been a better time to be in this business,” he said. “My biggest concern is running out of merchandise. You can’t give Bush stuff away at the moment but anything with Obama’s picture on it is walking out of the store.” The market for Obama products, added Mr Warlick, has been worth as much as $250 million since the start of the campaign

POPSGood Agile, Bad Agile (or Why Google is Unstoppable) Steve Yegge on the benefits and mostly drawbacks of agile programming. Probably the most interesting portion is his insider's look into the development atmosphere at Google, where a controlled type of agile programming runs rampant, with huge results. Oh and did he menion the perks? And there are still other incentives; the list goes on and ON and ON ; the perks are over the top, and the rewards are over the top, and everything there is so comically over the top that you have no choice, as an outsider, but to assume that everything the recruiter is telling you is a baldfaced lie, because there's no possible way a company could be that generous to all of its employees, all of them, I mean even the contractors who clean the micro-kitchens, they get these totally awesome "Google Micro-Kitchen Staff" shirts and fleeces.

POPSAmerica’s Hidden Treasures Been to Glacier Bay, Alaska. Beautiful. Going to Alaska will give you a new perspective on life. In some places, you have to put your sun visor down at 3:00 a.m. Or when it warms up to -35 degrees (Fahrenheit) people are outside in short sleeve shirts washing their cars. At Halloween, your costume has to fit over a snowsuit. And people drive for a mile on square tires on a -65 degree morning.

POPSHow genes pick our mates for us Instead of smelly T-shirts, Chaix and colleague Peter Donnelly of the University of Oxford studied previously gathered genetic data on 30 Caucasian couples from Utah and 30 Yoruba couples from Nigeria. The researchers analysed about 9000 genetic differences within the MHC genes, as well as more than 3 million differences dotted across the rest of their genomes. This suggests that the American couples are selecting mates, in large part, based on MHC genes. Not so for Yoruba couples, who seemed to pick mates with MHC genes no more different than would be expected for any two people picked at random from the population. One explanation for the different findings could be diversity. Overall, Yoruba people had more differences in their MHC genes than Americans, so there could be less evolutionary pressure to find a mate with new genes.

POPSJourneys that changed the world Long before he met Fidel Castro, Ernesto Guevara did what any medical student would do with his free time: he went on spring break, driving across South America with a buddy on a motorcycle trip.The poverty Che observed led him to join a revolution in Cuba and, far less successfully, one in Bolivia that led to his execution. He wrote about his experiences in The Motorcycle Diaries and ultimately became a symbol for everyone from idealists fighting for the downtrodden to vendors looking for an easy way to sell T-shirts to college kids.<< much more at the source
