[13:31] ah, hang on a sec [13:32] I'm hearing music [13:33] yep, stream is dlowing well [13:33] yep, stream is flowing well [13:33] I cant get anything is it the IG audio, AN stream or the NP direct stream? [13:34] I think I'm on the direct link [13:34] Do you know the address? [13:35] http://nonprophets.gotdns.org:8000/ [13:35] http://www.infidelguy.com:8000 [13:35] I should book mark np direct the NP are leaving the Atheist Network [13:36] ouch, that can't make Reggie too happy [13:37] unfortunately, i cannot stay long, I have to go to work [13:38] Doing graphic arts stuff? [13:38] nope [13:39] I may very well get sent home as soon as I arrive, as my voice is completely gone [13:39] damned head cold went to my throat [13:39] ah, our new resident hawk is back.. [13:41] Oops I guess I am early. I listen to the ACA experience at 2pm est. [13:42] * bnem is back [13:43] * bnem is now known as bnem-store [13:46] * ThinkFest has joined #atheist_network [13:46] more atheists are talking and going to listen at: irc.wikkedwire.com [13:46] #infidelchat [13:46] Why's that? [13:49] more are in that chat than this one at this moment, if that is your question.. [13:49] Oh. Okay. [13:49] uh, what leaks... we're supposed to be a transparent republic [13:50] heh, wrong answer in wrong chat room.... damn mouse [13:52] Hi guys [13:53] *waves* [13:54] Hi Profs! [13:54] Sadly, I can only stay for about 15 minutes, have to go to work [13:54] So "in theory" we are supposed to be on Freethoughtradio today [13:54] ah [13:54] congrats [13:55] that's a pay to listen station, isn't it? [13:56] The Non-Prophets site says, go to Atheist Network and click "Listen". Atheist Network doesn't have a link labelled that, it says "Tune In", and it doesn't happen to work at the moment for me. [13:56] What's the deal with Freethoughtradio...? [13:56] Go to freethoughtradio.com [13:56] start listening and see if you get anything [13:56] Only for you. 8) [13:57] And if you don't, connect to http://nonprophets.gotdns.org:8000 [13:57] open it with winamp [13:57] music is out [13:57] but give freethoughtradio a few minutes first [13:57] yes, I turned it off [13:57] guess you guys are winding up the Victrola [13:58] I enjoy listening to those old 78s [13:58] Ok, started some music [13:58] Jeff is late so I am going to have to introduce the show by myself [13:59] He'll be late, yeah. [14:01] * rudeboy preps to leave [14:01] damn it [14:02] Houston, I read you loud and clear, over. [14:03] brb [14:04] ...............................................covering news relevant to all freethinkers! [14:04] * zippyapparition has joined #atheist_network [14:05] hi, zippy. [14:05] Hi [14:05] * bnem-store is now known as bnem [14:06] Anyone: confirm freethought radio broadcasting us? [14:06] Yes, the broadcast came on at 1 minute after the hour. [14:07] Excellent... um, did it start in the middle of us talking, or was there music when we came on? [14:07] It started at the beginning. [14:07] ok cool [14:07] So you are new to the show, zippy? [14:07] No [14:08] Hi, Jeff. I hear ya. [14:08] .......................................The web site doesn't give the right link yet. :/ [14:08] nuts [14:08] um [14:08] sorry Jeff et al, I have to go to work... damn it, until next time [14:09] * rudeboy has left #atheist_network [14:09] Well anyway, this chat room belongs to atheistnetwork [14:09] so we should discuss starting up a different one [14:09] confirm NP on FFR [14:10] I guess we'll start using irc.wikkedwire.com [14:10] [13:46] #infidelchat [14:10] So... if there was a church service and they said, "There's a traffic jam on I-35" that'd be 'secular'... [14:10] starting with the next show [14:11] I'll try to get it up on the web site for next time [14:12] * ftr-seansouza has joined #atheist_network [14:12] to hear the radio show: freethoughtradio.com :) [14:13] Hey everybody! Everything is cool. We're broadcasting clearly. [14:13] excellent! [14:17] Non-Prophets: 2 to 3:30 is it moving up an hour? [14:17] Denis has slipped out of phase with this reality? [14:17] central time [14:18] 3-4:30 eastern [14:18] doh [14:18] I guess I really got to take a nap [14:22] Hey Sean, is there any way to tell how many people are connected to FTR at the moment? [14:22] The "wiggle room" is necessary for justice, and the job of a judge *is* to interpret, as per the situation at hand. Many issues (like "fair use") aren't yes/no propositions, they're decided by piling relevant pro's and con's, and weighing the two sets of thing. [14:24] How relevant to being religious is it that the monument said "Thou shalt have no other gods"? Very. How relevant is it today that it was originally a movie promotional by Cecil B. Demille? Not farking much. [14:24] You can check our stream on Shoutcast here: http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/index.phtml?sgenre=Talk [14:25] thanks [14:26] "If we got rid of that monument... we'd have to be 'rational' and admit it's ALL stupid." [14:27] There is also an 24k stream with less people a few pages into talk. [14:27] I think ACA should put a "Raelian landing beacon" on the lawn [14:28] I think ACA should protest it every week. Like the Comfort Vreidenkeren monument, it becomes a symbol of discrimination. [14:33] I think that 'intent' is very irrelevant. If your 'intent' in making African people slaves is to educate and civilize them, that doesn't make it any less unconstitutional, and a local majority can't vote 'slavery' back into legality, either. [14:40] ......................................Positive action, please? There's *too many* different liberal organizations. Please build focus for MOVEON.ORG *We* saved PBS/NPR!!! And please mention AIR AMERICA. [14:41] in what context should I mention AA? [14:42] A good lead-in would be Mike Malloy, Hysterical Flailing Atheist.' [14:43] I'm not sure I want to bring up Mike, we might end up bitching him out :) [14:44] It's your choice how you discuss him; I trust you're Smart Fellers. Air America is important, though. [14:45] (whatever else he is, he is "Out".) [14:48] Freedom is the safety to be unpopular. [14:51] Why O Hare. cause "puttin the magical words on a rock prevents juvenile deliquency" [14:53] I think we should dress a guy up in a 'monument' costume. [14:54] I think a large Raelian landing beacon would be a great idea [14:54] I don't want a monument to friggin' Madalyn O'Hare. I WANT A MONUMENT TO THOMAS VAN ORDEN. [14:54] Freethought Radio listeners have been listening to your shows for a couple of years, you may want to mention more often that the show is live. [14:54] ok [14:55] live! oh yah, they should mention that (and they also have to mention a date because it's also available as download.) [14:55] ftr, how was your week? [14:56] Great, thanks. :) [14:56] Baloney. We *do* have a problem with Republicans. They put "America is one nation, under God" in their official party platform. Taliban 2005, complete with holy war... [14:58] Where did you go, if I may ask? [14:58] (it was 102 degrees here.) [14:58] yeah yeah no problem :) [14:59] Tomorrow I want to ask the ACA to help make and give out a bunch of survival food sachets. [15:00] One other thing, if you guys could record some commercials for us, we can get more interest from FTR. Nobody knew you guys were live on FTR this week. [15:00] we will [15:00] After this is over [15:00] and the fact that listeners can come in and chat with you during the show will be great :) [15:00] Do some wierd ones. >:) [15:01] (The time thingy just went off, and ads are going off.) [15:01] (okay, ads stopped.) [15:01] Yep sorry about that, first time going live for us, caught it right away. :P [15:02] A Bee-Jay? Mommy, what's a Bee-Jay? [15:02] ftr-seansouza: Is ftr sitll on live365.com? [15:03] It's not, Live365 is not very cost efficient at all. It costed $75 a month and it was only bringing in about 45 additional people daily. Shoutcast is free and we get over 1,000 daily. [15:03] ok [15:04] I think 'amen' is secular. So is 'hallelujah'. I'm glad. I rather like saying 'amen'. [15:06] I like "awomen" myself [15:07] The biggest blow to fundamentalism is to show there is not a consensus. A Christian presence in Iraq is, therefore, a disaster for the Taliban. [15:08] so you like that? [15:08] Yes. This is such an ironic time in American history. 'Over there', the shoe IS on the other foot, and the foot is squarely in the mouth. [15:10] mmm, me gettin' hungry... [15:10] FTR is #11 on the Shoutcast listenings. :) [15:11] Did Dennis run to the studio? [15:11] *nod* [15:11] For some reason it's Denis with one N. It's a French thing. |:) [15:13] Broadband is #11 on the first page, dial-up is right below The Non-Prophets stream. [15:13] 31 people on broadband, 5 on the dial-up. [15:13] cool [15:17] Freedom of speech cannot depend on an "opt in" policy, no. [15:17] Freedom of speech protects diversity of opinions in all "PUBLIC FORA". [15:18] ("public forum" is a legal status applied to places where it's "normal" to hear random stuff, for example, a downtown street corner.) [15:19] I think the proposed law protecting religious groups from rude speech prompted one parlimentarian to scarasticly remark that he is a jedi to reflect how the law would reflect on minority religions [15:20] oops proposed British law [15:20] (Britain. grr.) [15:21] http://bigdumbobject.co.uk/archives/000709.html [15:23] The purpose of history is to show how we're not that ****ed up today, not to justify a return to being ****ed up. [15:24] Unfortunately... the U.S. is pretty ****ed up. [15:25] We've become that country in the game "Civilisation". You know, where it asks you the name and you make up a country? We're the "****ed Up". [15:25] and then the game says things like, "****ed Up Scientists Discover the Internal Combustion Engine!" [15:26] Cyrana de Bergerette. [15:27] It is worth relating concepts like "burden of proof" to the war in Iraq. http://www.livejournal.com/users/talzhemir1/25523.html [15:27] lunch! lunch? Lunch?? [15:27] ok thanks [15:27] Thanky Non-Prophets. [15:27] bye NP [15:28] At Zombocom, there are no limits. [15:28] Sean, we keep broadcasting a couple of minutes after the show, just to make sure the whole show is recorded and no cutoff from delay [15:29] Do you end it at 3:30? That would probably work best [15:29] We'll be right here listening, we'll end when you end, and fade into our regular programming. [15:29] ok great [15:30] Is it ok if we do *one* promo today and then do a couple more next week? [15:30] You guys ended with 40 listeners on Freethought Radio, bye the way. :) [15:30] Sorry, I'm getting reluctance from people who want lunch right now [15:31] good to know [15:31] Yeah, that's fine. [15:31] We just need to get people aware. [15:32] Liquid camel... hehe... [15:34] I sent an e-mail to you with a few other ideas I had while listening. [15:34] I'll send more later. [15:34] ok I'll see you later... thanks [15:34] * Disconnected Session Close: Sat Jul 02 15:34:45 2005
