9.Harry Potter is good for children because it makes them read. Good for psychic readings, mabye, but Sorcery is evil because it is a non-optimal religion. Summoning demons, gathering intelligence from the dead, casting spells, and worshipping multiple gods just isn't right!
8. A music artist loses 75 cents for every illegal MP3 file you download. Reality check, a music artists gets less than 75 cents for a WHOLE CD they sell in the store. The record companies, store overhead, big time marketing, and shipping take up most of the rest.
7. Top posting in Usenet is morally wrong. I think it's childish to rag on someone for top posting. I especially hate it when someone quotes 256KB of text and then has something substance free to say, forcing you to scroll through pages of familiar text before the big letdown. Top post if you don't have anything interesting to say.
6. LP sounds better than CD. Mabye in frequency response, and those high frequencies are shaved off after less than 20 plays. That's why those quadraphonic LPs with 4 discrete channels with the back channels placed above the front channel's spectrum didn't work that well. The signal to noise ratio of an LP when compared to a cassette tape is debatable, when the LP is clean and scratch free. But CD? No way.
5. CRT monitors look better than LCD monitors. The only reason why CRT monitors might look better than an LCD is if your LCD is in a position that forces you to view the LCD outside its rated viewing angle. And here's the showstopper....drumroll please....THE LCD HAS DISCRETE ADDRESSABLE PIXELS!!!! That means you don't squint looking at text that is blurred over many pixel triads.
4. You can only get to Heaven if you don't eat meat. Many holy-roller animal freaks try to make you feel bad for eating the flesh of an animal. God put animals on this planet for us to eat. And don't curtail my enjoyment of meat or limit my gastrointestinal freedom because you have an agenda.
3. I am just doing my job, therefore whatever I do is always right. "I'm just doing my job" Well so is the Gestapo. It was their job to kill Jews. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT!!! How many times have you heard this phrase whenever somene can't find good moral grounds to limit your freedom?
2. Standing in front of the microwave while it's running gives you cancer. A microwave uses radio waves to cook food, not nuclear radiation. The only thing these waves can do is generate heat and destroy anything metal. The radio waves are harmful because they can heat up your corneas (the outer part of your eyeballs) before the rest of your body heats up. And this will only happen if the microwave leaks energy, which is rare.
And the number one myth that makes my blood boil is...
1. Shaving your beard makes it grow back thicker. This is number one, because I have a wispy 2 inch goatee. People always tell me to shave it so it will grow back thicker. The reason it looks and feels like it is thicker is because you cut off the tapering tops of the hair, leaving a stub of thicker hair. The only thing shaving will do for your beard is throw you back in time to having a zero inch long beard.
