    so...

    It's funny how people will mow the shit out of their lawns, yet when it comes time to mulch their leaves, they whine like little bitches. Rake the leaves in a pile. Run em over with the lawnmower a couple of times. Respread em or compost em. End of fucking story and STFU.
  2. Just read two good climate change related articles: worsening bushfires in Australia (New Yorker) and methane release due to melting permafrost (Sci Am). But hey, the data's been throwed out, so none of it's really happening.
  3. and where are those airplane parts from the Pentagon attack?
  4. I had to stalk it for three days, and even then, never got the photo, so I trapped it, stuffed it, and stood it up in the parking lot.

  13. Canadians have suffered under the oppression of Timmy Hortons long enough
  14. I'm already committed.
  15. There was a boatload of scandahoovians there. You never see them otherwise. Oh, sure, the occasional hunched figure toothbrushing off a driveway or sitting in a faded maroon Skylark, temporarily immobilized by a green light or some other form of sensory overload, but otherwise they seem to never venture too far from their scroll saws and television sets.
  16. It's not about finding oil and water. It's about emplacing Burger Kings.
  17. Better get used to listening to "Let the Bodies Hit the Ground"

  24. I believe you’re right about the generality of feelings however, I thought I had read an article of MRI study of the brain involving subjects contemplating religion and other triggers. Could I have imagined it? Anyway, this work indicated some specificity in activation of the brain. Whether the specific areas of activation evolved directly or are the byproduct of the development of another function does not matter since the effect is physiological. Doesn't it still point to the primacy of religious affect? Imagination. Magic. Mage. These words have the same root. The imagination can produce phastasms but it is also the birthplace of many things which manifest in the material world. One can believe that all we do is copy nature and make modifications upon what nature has produced through evolution. Other things may preexist independently on another plane, an imaginal realm. These include such things as mathematical formulas or depictions of relationships in reality, e.g., E = mc2. Some religions refer to this plane as the Ground of Being (alaya in Buddhism). I’m not really qualified to speak of this but perhaps you get the picture. Anyway, my point is I won’t disparage the importance of the imagination in our existence. I know that what we’re actually talking about is more a discussion of people’s reaction to Christianity in particular and not so much to religion in general. There’s something in the Bible that points about man being created in God’s image. Image. Imagination… Feelings? Personally, I don’t believe that feelings such as fear, doubt, and grief are in themselves to be regarded in any negative sense. Regarding the brain’s tendency to fill the void: http://www.mindhacks.com/blog/2009/10/hallucinations_in_se.html Psychological readjustment: The ExtraRoom, a space to achieve psychological alterations. [video:vimeo]5319345 I would say more but I gotta go. Got an appointment in the snow. First the subhuman atheist, now being nonreligious constitutes a lack of imagination. There's at least one atheist artist out there who thinks you're a fucking moron.
  25. Gentlemen, gentlemen...the boy's getting married at age 14. Why add to his suffering?
