Jessa Duggar Uses the Holocaust to Attack Abortion, Evolution

Yeah, she went there.  Just one day after Jessa Duggar bashed evolution and atheism on Instagram, she returned to the social media site to express an even more controversial view. Jessa, 21, and fiance Ben Seewald , 19, are in DC at the moment, and according to her page they recently paid a visit to the US Holocaust Museum. The future Mrs. Seewald was clearly moved by the experience, and with good reason. The museum brings to vivid life one of the most horrific tragedies in human history. Unfortunately, and all too predictably, the emotions that Jessa experienced at the museum inspired an lengthy, impassioned defense of her various political causes and religious convictions. None of which – at least as most people probably see it – have anything to do with the millions of lives lost in concentration camps in Europe during WWII. Jessa’s latest Insta-rant is too long to reproduce here, but she begins by saying, “I walked through the Holocaust museum today…very sobering.” So far, so good. She goes on to lament man’s inhumanity toward man and decry the horrors of racism.  Then she begins to go off the rails, asserting that racism stems “from the evolutionary idea that man evolved from something less than human; that some people groups are ‘less evolved’ and others ‘more evolved.'” Say what?! Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos 1. Jessa Duggar & Ben Seewald: So in Love Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are now engaged to be married after an 11-month courtship. Here’s a gallery of photos of their love! We’re not sure what evolutionary biologists Jessa’s been chatting with, but the gist of the theory is that we all evolved from different species.  There’s literally not a single reputable scientist on the planet claiming that “some people groups are ‘less evolved.'” But hey, if your head hasn’t exploded yet, don’t worry – it gets worse. Following a lengthy quote from the Book of Proverbs (We highly doubt Jessa abides by every law in the Old Testament, but that’s a conversation for another time.), Jessa mercifully wraps things up. But first, of course, she gut-punches you with nonsense one last time: “We must be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS #ProLife” That bit at the end was the first time that Jessa mentioned anything about abortion, and to be clear, we’re not attacking her stance on the matter. It’s a complex issue and not a debate we’re interested in wading into here. All we’re saying is, DON’T FREAKIN’ COMPARE ANYTHING TO THE HOLOCAUST! There. It’s that simple.  It’s like using a racial slur or cat-calling a strange woman on the street. Just don’t do it ever, or you’re a jackass. Is that so hard? Anyway, you can watch 19 Kids and Counting online at TV Fanatic to see if you can find a scene in which Jessa says something smart. 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.

Conscious Uncoupling – with Patricia Albere and Katherine Woodward Thomas

The form of our significant relationships, the roles and purposes we have for being with each other, often have a beginning, middle and end. In a world where so many couples now choose to separate before “death do us part,” we must learn how to consciously evolve our way of transitioning our unions, moving graciously from communion back to autonomy with integrity and honor. How can our relationships end with love, kindness and healing? How can we honor all that we have shared and use the change to bring momentum into our lives? Join Patricia Albere as she discusses with Katherine Woodward Thomas her powerful and practical knowledge that empowers people to bring love and effectiveness to something we all struggle with. http://www.youtube.com/v/qg8Xuv4xEic?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata See the article here: Conscious Uncoupling – with Patricia Albere and Katherine Woodward Thomas

Germs are good for you!

“Exposing kids to nasty germs might actually toughen them up to diseases as grown-ups, mounting research suggests. A new study suggests that higher levels of exposure to common everyday bacteria and microbes may play a helpful role in the development of the body's inflammatory systems, which plays a crucial role in the immune system's fight against infection

New theory for why we cry

“A scientist now proposes a new theory for why crying evolved — tears can act as handicaps to show you have lowered your defenses. “Crying is a highly evolved behavior,” said researcher Oren Hasson, an evolutionary biologist at Tel Aviv University in Israel. “My analysis suggests that by blurring vision, tears lower defenses and reliably function as signals of submission, a cry for help, and even in a mutual display of attachment and as a group display of cohesion.” The shedding of tears due to emotions is unique to humans

Analog TV abandoned to make room for RFID

According to a former 31-year IBM employee, the highly-publicized, mandatory switch from analog to digital television is mainly being done to free up analog frequencies and make room for scanners used to read implantable RFID microchips and track people and products throughout the world. So while the American people, especially those in Texas and other busy border states, have been inundated lately with news reports advising them to hurry and get their expensive passports, “enhanced driver’s licenses,” passport cards and other “chipped” or otherwise trackable identification devices that they are being forced to own, this digital television/RFID connection has been hidden, according to Patrick Redmond.

Is the end of men imminent?

What makes a man a man? Socially, that is a complicated question. Genetically, however, it is as simple as a single Y chromosome
