Saw this clip on The Young Turks and found a little more respect for Miley Cyrus. Did not expect her to quote Lawrece Krauss.

My reaction: How insecure must the christian right be to be conserned over a tweet from Hanna freakin' Montana?

Shesh, I don't even like her and I feel proud. Some faith in humanity has been restored.  ;D

Miley who?

She was a Disney star who went to drugs just like the rest of them. She was famous for her alter-ego "Hanna Montana" Had a TV show, and did tours around the world. Personally, I thought she was talentless.

Any celebrity that has the balls to publicly say "forget Jesus" gets brownie points with me.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Why do people get worked up over quotes? Quoting is re-telling of something someone else said, often outside the contents it was originally said in. Personally, I prefer original phrasing, and if it happens to be almost the same as something someone somewhere said at some point, well, cool.

Is quoting smart people somehow supposed to make a person appear smarter? Or does quoting charismatic people give your opinions more weight?

Oh, and no, beyond this little rant about quoting being overrated, I have little constructive to say... Except perhaps a "good for her!"

Death threats against somebody for using their freedom of speech even though it disagrees with the majority. How American!

I liked what the guy in the youtube clip said. "I'm sure they think they're pro-life... 'hey, let's go kill Miley Cyrus!' "

Well, good for her for posting whatever she wanted to. I'm also unsure why anyone would get enraged over it to the point of sending death threats, but I suspect that those who would bother sending them don't have two critical thinking neurons in their brain to rub together. Only absolute fundies, or absolutely ignorant people, would bother or care. And I hate to say it, because there are a ton of young smart people out there so this doesn't apply to them... but I just can't picture some 70 year old couple sitting down in the kitchen over a cup of tea saying "what do you think, dear? Should we send Miley some hate mail today?"  ::) So, I suspect it's probably the younger Jesus freak/"down with evil-ution" crowd who would bother. That, or the parents whose kids are obsessed with Miley Cyrus, worrying that she's secretly going to lead their kids down the path to the devil.

There aren't enough eye-rolling smilies in the universe for how dumbasses like this make me feel.

Didn't think she had it in her.  She's still talentless, but at least she seems to be smarter than her dad.

How much effort could that possibly take? The man has a song called "I want my mullet back".  ;D

"...and then she grew up, a ton of crap and a few very good things happened, but she opened her eyes, saw the world as messed up as it really is, and understood the meaning of it all, but was astounded at how paper-thin it was -- so she ditched her simple, naive hope that Jesus would make it all better, she became a secular humanist, and eventually joined HAF." - Amicale
