Possibly the only true statement I've heard on FOX... (media.tumblr.com)
submitted 7 months ago by B0NESY

FFS if you're going to repost this for ten billionth time at least get the damn quote right. http://i.imgur.com/hMGor.jpg
[–]DasTeemo 34 points35 points36 points 7 months ago
If you could reason with reposters , there would be no reposters.

You go up, OP goes down.
[–]tommadness 8 points9 points10 points 7 months ago
You can't explain that.
[–]Double- 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
Upvote for the proper quote to EcureuilSecret. Fart based dutch oven to the op for re-posting this for the fuck younth time.

FOX != Fox News

FOX the network =/= FOX NEWS the cable channel

As a former Fundamentalist Christian, for more than 20 years, I am thankful that this isn't actually true.
Also, keep in mind that FOX and FoxNews are not the same thing. I assume that was the tired joke you were going for.
[–]B0NESY[S] -21 points-20 points-19 points 7 months ago
I worded this carefully. That's all I'm going to say.
[–]Atreides_Zero 4 points5 points6 points 7 months ago
And you failed.
Plus you ignored many other great shows that have made similar points including the Simpsons, and Firefly that have one point or another run on Fox
[–]harabec01 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
They did ax firefly after one season. Something I have never forgiven Murdoch for.
[–]rastapasta808 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Now THATS karma :)
[–]LIAATPYSIW 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
You chose the wording of this yourself? Really?
[–]B0NESY[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
the headline. -_-
[–][deleted] 11 points12 points13 points 7 months ago
You do know Fox and Fox News are completely different entities, right? One has no influence over the other. Why don't some/most people seem to get this?
[–]johninbigd 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
For the same reason that people think every Fox affiliate in the country doing local news is the same as Fox News. So annoying.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
Used to work for a local Fox affiliate. Don't get me started.
[–]johnnynutman 5 points6 points7 points 7 months ago
fox and fox news are completely different entities. they only have common ownership in common.
[–]dispellado 13 points14 points15 points 7 months ago
Hm, yes, thank you B0NESY, I did think it was about time for this to be recycled yet again fro karma.
[–]ashamble -12 points-11 points-10 points 7 months ago
I found this comment incredibly useful, original, and entertaining.
(I was going to go with only two adjectives, but I feel like they like to run in threes. Also, I am patting myself on the back for not pointing out your typo and how it made me think about the Black Panther Movement.)
[–]rastapasta808 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
Naw bro.
[–]KingMotion 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
Just a question, how much FOX do you watch?
[–]bhumy 6 points7 points8 points 7 months ago
I have been a redditor for just a month, and even I am bored of this repost!
[–]Tomatosorbet 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
Has this become a meme or something? Reposting the House quote many times per week?
[–]BlackbeltJones 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
But The Simpsons are on Fox.
[–]whiteyak41 2 points3 points4 points 7 months ago
Clearly you haven't watched enough Malcolm in the Middle.
[–]ktlieb 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
How many reposts will it take for civilization to collapse. Surely we will know soon.....
[–]wytewydow 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
watch more Family Guy or the Simpsons.
[–]i_fap_faps 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
Pretty sure The Simpsons had better truths.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
ok.... dude. dont be ridiculous. thats not the only true statement said on fox. youre making very unjustified assumptions, and i hope you realize that.... house has said plenty of other awesome things.
[–]advicevice 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
Hey, look everyone, it's Tuesday again.
[–]ChrisDuhFir 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Too bad he's a stereotype.
[–]billyup 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Road House.
[–]Lodur 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Not really. Sure, let's assume that there is a religious person and an atheist, and the atheist knows all the reasonable arguments against religion and uses them against the religious. It still might not work. Mainly because if the religious person is getting something out of being religious, it is not unreasonable to continue that belief even if it lacks evidence of existence.
If you're playing life to make you feel the best, sometimes the most rational choice there is to chose to embrace the irrational.
This ignores that aspect, and /r/atheism ignores that aspect a fair bit as well. People have goals, if being religious furthers your goal, then it is reasonable for you to be religious. /r/atheism likes to assume that increasing knowledge and fighting ignorance and inherent goals and ideals which everyone should live up to, but they aren't.
My two bits.
[–]samisbond 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
All I want to do is post the quote again in reply.
How incredibly selfish and dangerous it is to live life in blissful ignorance while the rest of us are in the real world. If you are someone who chooses to embrace irrationality you have no place voting, being on a jury, or having kids. Holding irrational beliefs is unacceptable in every field except religion so long as no one ever acts on their beliefs.
[–]cjcmd -2 points-1 points0 points 7 months ago
It's very ironic that you don't see that naive comment as irrational.
[–]B0NESY[S] -4 points-3 points-2 points 7 months ago
You did not just use "rational" and "religion" in the same sentence... Believing in and "embracing" unicorns might make me feel the best, but it would be completely irrational to do so. Give me one example of how being religious can further your goals any more than mine, which have no religious influence.
[–]pinkytheunicorn 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Cue ad hominem attack on House because he's a pill popper.
[–]peteheat 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
mixed feelings about house-he brings a tone that is quite an atheist stereotype-but i cant deny agreeing with this statement.
Someone make me happy, what popular atheist character on tv isnt a complete dick?
[–]EmptyAndFrantic 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago
what popular atheist character on tv isnt a complete dick?
Well... Brennan on Bones is an atheist.
[–]Shodan76 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
In Italian translation this has been removed. And the one talking about not liking nuns.
You just can't say that in Italian TV.

[–]SamsIphone -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
Please stop this bullshit, This image gets reposted at least once every two weeks and still manages to get triple digit upvotes. Really losing faith in r/atheism.
[–]eafkuor -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
ok, I'm out of this subreddit.
[–]TheBruteSquad -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
It doesn't work, I've tried.
[–]day11 -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
I think House is what you get when you amalgamate Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
[–]jpesh -1 points0 points1 point 7 months ago
anyway this could be turned into a wallpaper?
[–]EcureuilSecret 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
I used to have this as my wallpaper, except I used a copy with the actual quote (not this dumbarse paraphrased one) and I suggest you do the same.
[–]goldfishking -18 points-17 points-16 points 7 months ago
Only in america would someone call the actor by their characters name on tv. And not by their real name
[–]samisbond 24 points25 points26 points 7 months ago
It's not a statement by Hugh Laurie though, it's a scripted line for House.
[–]burningpineapples 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
Then who are the writers?
[–]WhyteMagez 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago
This. Have an upvote good sir.
[–]B0NESY[S] -6 points-5 points-4 points 7 months ago
I've been a redditor for 2 days. sorry I'm not as cool as you guys. I don't watch TV, when I do it's for House and Breaking Bad. I have seen FOX news, and this show which is also on FOX. "I've heard" is pretty key. Had I said "This is the only true thing that has ever been said on FOX" then I'd be an ignorant fool, but no. You're all butthurt because I got "karma"? What?! It's not money, they aren't champion of the world points, so who cares? I was watching House, this quote came on, searched google, saw something close and posted it. There isn't anything that tells me "YOU'RE ABOUT TO REPOST YOU N00B! JUST GO DIE!" before I post something, so I apologize. I guess? Troll on...

Welcome to Reddit. ;)
