LOL! Good one. This is another old one: A white horse goes into a bar and orders a drink. "You’re not going to believe this, mate, but we’ve got a drink named after you!" said the barman. "What?

Don’t know that one.  How about this one: This Jelly Bean walks into a bar and gets talking to a  Smartie.  After a few beers the Smartie says,  "Ere, do you fancy going to that  new club in  town?" and the Jelly Bean says "No mate, I’m a soft centre, I  always end up getting my head kicked in." So Smartie says "Don’t worry  about it, I’m a  bit of a hard case, I’ll look after you." So Jelly Bean says  "Fair enough, as long as you’ll look after me." and off they went. After a few  more beers in the club, three Lockets walk in. As soon as he sees them,  Smartie hides under a table, the Lockets take one look at JellyBean and start kicking him, punching him and generally having a laugh. After a while they get bored and walk out.  Jelly Bean pulls his battered JellyBean body  over to the table and wipes his Jelly Bean blood up and turns to Smartie  and says "I thought you were going to look after me?" "I was!" says  Smartie, "But those Lockets are just menthol!" — For more information about this NNTP posting service, contact: h…@asarian-host.net — for all info about our server.

I have a soft spot for all jokes involving English pubs being visited by animals or other incongruous and surreal customers. Do you know the one about the rabbit and the toasties?

No. Perhaps you’d be one of the kindest creatures on the planet and relate it to me before you fall in a faint on your sick bed? It’s 1:43 now so I’ll just pull up a glass of something cold and shiny before last orders and sit here patiently waiting.

Rabbit goes into a pub and orders a pint of lager and a cheese toastie. "I’m sorry, we don’t serve rabbits here," the barman said, somewhat predictably. "It’s against the law," he added, waving at the notice on the wall behind him, which read "WARNING. It is illegal to serve alcoholic beverages to minors, three-legged camels, pieces of string and talking rabbits." "Oaw, gorn," says the rabbit. "It’s bleedin’ ‘ard work runnin’ up and down burrows all day. Just a beer an’ a toastie and then I’ll be on me way." The barman relented, partly because he noticed that the presence of this unexpected customer had sparked quite a deal of interest among the other regulars. In a flash, it occurred to him that this might be a way of attracting more curious visitors to the premises. "Just a pint and a toastie?" he said, doubtfully. "Well, I suppose we could stretch a point…" The rabbit thanked him, and when the toastie arrived, wolfed it down, drained the pint glass in one gulp, and headed out. The next day, a somewhat larger crowd of regulars were waiting around at the same time. Sure enough, the rabbit made its reappearance right on cue. "A pint o’ lager and a cheese toastie, mate," came the predictable order. There was a murmur of appreciation from the other customers. This was clearly a rabbit who knew what he wanted. The barman served him, and then turned back to the opposite counter, where he was halfway through designing a large poster which read: "Come and see the amazing DRINKING RABBIT! Lunchtimes, admission 50p". This could turn out to be the biggest crowdpuller ever. Better even than Doris the Stripper last year. The rabbit ate the toastie, drank the beer, and departed. The same thing happened for the next three days. However, one day, when the crowd of onlookers had grown very large indeed, the barman was mortified to find that he had forgotten to stock the fridge with cheese. There was only the tiniest morsel of cheese left over from the day before. "A pint o’ lager and a cheese toastie, mate," the rabbit said. "Same as usual." "Look, I’m awfully sorry," said the barman. "It seems we’re fresh out of cheese…" "Wot, no cheese?" said the rabbit. "None a’ all?" "Well, there’s a bit left. Look, how about I make you up a cheese and ham toastie? We have some very nice York ham, fresh in this morning…" "Oh, well, orright then, jus’ this once," says the rabbit. "Ham ain’t my cup of tea, really, but well, these things ‘appen." The barman, relieved, hastened to comply with the order. The next day, however, the rabbit failed to appear. And the next, and the next. The customers drifted away, and the poster had to be taken down. One night the barman was lying in bed, when suddenly the curtain started to rustle, and moments later, standing in the gloom was the ghost of a rabbit. "Who are you?" said the barman, wrapping his bedclothes around him in an involuntary gesture of fear. "I’m the ghost of your amazing drinking rabbit, mate, aren’t I" said the ghost. "Come to haunt you for the rest of your days." "But why?" said the terrified barman. "What have I done? I served you your beer, just like you asked… Why should you want to haunt me?" "Well," said the rabbit, "Wanna know what happened after that last time I visited you? Well, I’ll tell you, mate. You should be more careful serving rabbits in future, squire, you really should. I died of mixin’ me toasties." *************

Response:

There were three pieces of string walking down a country lane in Bedfordshire. Two of the pieces of string had had an easy life, were rich and looked quite respectable and well wrought. The third piece of string had suffered tremendous setbacks throughout his life. He had failed all his exams at stringschool and dropped out of the only college that had accepted him, he had never had a job and was penniless and scrappy looking; knotted up with the pain of loneliness having recently lost his girlfriend to a really chunky piece of string from Kensington. Oh, I could go into details about how miserable and desperate the third piece of string was but, who would really care? At least he had two friends who stood by him through thick and thin. And so here they were walking down a country lane in Bedfordshire. They’d been walking for hours in the hot sun and it was getting near lunchtime so they were hungry and thirsty and miles from anywhere.  Fortunately a village hove into view and they knew there was every chance of finding a cafe or supermarket to get a few cans of coke. They walked the entire length of the village but only found a pub: "The Bitch and Drake" [twinned with "The Dog and Duck" subjoke]. Now, all the world knows that pubs aren’t licensed to sell alcohol to pieces of string and the scrappy, poor piece of string passed on his concerns to his friends. "Nonsense!" scoffed his friends "We’re wealthy and classy enough to be served anywhere! Once the landlord sees the colour of our money, he’ll soon turn a blind eye." But their frayed friend was adamant. "Well, we’ll have to at least try to act like we’re legally allowed to drink alcohol or he’ll have the law on us." His friends laughed at his pessimism and told him to stop being such a worrywort. The richest piece of string told them to wait in the beer garden and strode into the bar with an air of good breeding and charm. Inside the bar the locals were in full chatter about the recent harvest, some were playing darts or shove ha’penny and there was a couple in the corner gazing adoringly into each other’s eyes. As the piece of string entered the bar everyone fell silent and stared in horror, even the couple in the corner. This caused the piece of string to hesitate but he caught the barman’s eye and walked up to the bar. "Three pints of your finest ale, well drawn, my good man." he said as he slapped a bundle of notes on the bar. The barman looked him up and down, weighing up just how he was going to handle the situation, the piece of string was very fit looking but he was alone, he reckoned he could handle him if he had to eject him bodily from the pub. But, he thought he’d give the piece of string a chance to leave with a bit more dignity. "Are you a piece of string?" he asked suspisciously. The piece of string knew the game was up and visibly slumped giving a sheepish "yes" in reply. The barman pointed at the open door and told him to beat it, his kind weren’t served in a respectable pub like his. Everyone watched the piece of string as he trudged heavily out, he was disheartened to hear someone chuckle as he left. He returned to his friends who had been waiting in the beer garden with the news that he’d been told pieces of string weren’t welcome in the pub. "I told you." said the knotty, scrappy piece of string. "What?!" said the other perfect specimen of stringiness, "I can’t believe what I’m hearing! Even though your money’s as good as the next person he wouldn’t serve you? Well I’ll just soon see about this!" He marched into the pub and straight up to the bar, ignoring all the gasps of disbelief from the other patrons. He slammed his money on the counter and ordered three pints and told the barman to be quick about it. "Are you a piece of string?" Asked the barman but before he could answer the barman continued, "’cause if you are I’ll have to phone the police. I don’t want any trouble in this pub but, if you’ve come here to cause trouble I have to warn you that I have a black belt in Karate and I’m a champion kick boxer; there isn’t a piece of string in the world who’d survive a beating from me." The piece of string swallowed fearfully and backed out of the bar to the sounds of clapping from the other customers. He felt completely humiliated as he returned to his companions. So humiliated that he was actually crying with frustration. His friends tried to console him and the ratty piece of string was really offended on his friend’s behalf. They’d never seen him so cross as he paced up and down berating the narrow-minded, bigotry his friends had experienced simply for wanting what all other citizens took for granted: the right to get drunk. He decided to go in and have it out with the landlord. He paused at the doorway, he didn’t have the piles of money his friends had to bribe anyone and he was a physical wreck of a piece of string so he’d stand no chance in a fight, but he had principles and fired up with allegiance to all his string brothers and sisters he knew he had to stand up and be counted. He walked in and, though faltering when he saw the reaction his entrance had caused, he walked up to the bar and asked to speak to the landlord. The barman looked him up and down suspisciously but went out back to get the landlord. He’d had enough of dealing with string for that afternoon. The landlord came into the bar to see what the to-do was all about and instantly saw the ropey piece of string standing proud yet slightly nervous in the bar. The landlord frowned and asked: "Are you a piece of string?" The piece of string looked down at himself realizing why the landlord had asked him. He was covered in mud from the road and so badly frayed from the travelling and still knotted up from his emotional breakdown that he had to confess he was hardly a good example of stringdom. He sniffed miserably and replied. "No. I’m a fray’d knot." Everyone in the bar gave a sigh of relief and the landlord smiled. "Oh, in that case, what can I get you, Sir." er… boom boom.

Ahh, I know what you mean.  I’ve had lots of chances, too, but none ever panned out for one reason or another — so now I’m looking to kayaking on the Hudson by my lonesome. Look on the bright side — it’s better to be alone in the summer.  You don’t feel as bad — and, frankly, the chances for ending that loneliness are greatest during the summer! > To be honest though when I feel left out now it effects me alot more.

Like I was telling my sister the other day: all that’s just a distraction!  After all, what’s the point of growing up but to be independent (as much as possible)?  Not just financially, but emotionally, intellectually, etc. When you get really tired of the push and pull of existential angst on the one hand and illusory, distracting thrills on the other, you’ll try to be "happy" on your own, too…. > Who knows what the future will hold?

Indeed — I’ve been "working" on myself as well, getting back into the gym, taking up kayaking, continuing my literary ambitions…all stuff I didn’t have time for due to the ex (who’s calling me again!). > Excuse the thread, just some random ramblings before exam season starts > tommorow.

Good use of paragraph division. Your thesis, however, requires the support of arguments. Concluding paragraph weak.

Well I should have qualified it. The friends I’ve made at my work place usually just remain workplace friends. I rarely go out with them. Also because a lot of students work there I can go out with them if I want but that’s less to do with the work place and more to do with university. It also depends on your job a lot too. Obviously if your job isn’t very social your not really gonna be making a lot of friends on it. That’s why I say to people who say they don’t make friends at work to change your job. Sure money IS important but your social life (not using social life in the teen sense I mean social in the human social animals sense) is far more important. Even if you take a pay cut try and get a more social job. The good things about jobs are they force you to be there daily. Unlike joining clubs or whatever they aren’t voluntary. We all need money.

The Baggage of Evolution

This is the Devil’s way of deceiving them.  they do not know what the real baggage is that goes along with the evolutionary religion.   For this deception is not new or modern it has roots in antiquity in most of the ancient religions of man.  It’s modern counterpart simply wears a lab coat and pretends to be science.  It also carries a horrible content of stealing, killing, and destroying(John 10:10a). As posted prevously the racism, enthic cleansing, holocaust, death camps, are all products of evolution.

Response:

Evolution, as you well know, will one day put an end to the ‘god created everything’ myth, and it scares the pants off you.

Actually, it might, after the rapture, but in 7 years time it will be laid waste by Jesus Christ returning in power.  After that, Jesus will reign for a thousand years.  There’s a timeline for you. Evolution will never prevail, trust me. What did your stupid belief tell the population at the time of the Great Plague?

That was ancient history.  Are you going to blame one group when it was during a time when there was little scientific knowledge?  That’s like 20 years from now, should someone find a cure for AIDS, you looking back and calling all doctors stupid that didn’t know how to cure it. It is the will of god, He is punishing us for our sins.

Actually, it’s interesting that you would say that.  AIDS may or may not be such a thing, but it’s interesting that it was called GRID (gay-related immuno-defense) before it was renamed AIDS.  Just food for thought. we now know what caused the black Plague and given time, evolution theory will become a fact.

Nope.  Evolutionists keep saying "give us time", yet they say you cannot see evolution taking place because it happens too slowly.  Trust me, that’s why Evolution will remain a scientific theory, because it is not reproducible, and it is not observable (i.e. were you there when the Big Bang occurred?) and as for religious kindness: "And when the Lord thy God hath delivered [a city] into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself" (Deuteronomy 20:13-14). "And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. . . .  And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods" (Numbers 31:7-9).

Are you able to argue with God? First off, if you look into those passages, it was probably because of their sin. Second, it’s not like they could not repent.  Jonah was sent to Ninevah, and when he preached that God was going to destroy their city, they all repented, and God forgave them.  However, you are not going to understand, because "the natural man cannot receive the things of God, for they are foolishness to him". You see, your ranting at decent clear thinking folk that do not follow your distorted beliefs are your own made up ideas, but the above is from your own book.

1) Nope, our beliefs are not distorted or made up. 2) Yes, that passage is from the Bible.  While God is being lenient right now, He will not always be that way, for it is His mercy that should motivate us to repent.  That is found in the Bible.  Even then, you quoted a historical passage of the Bible.  God isn’t telling Israel, or anyone else, to go kill people any more.  Jesus came to remind people of the obvious facts: while God in the past might’ve sent Israel after nations to destroy them due to their sin becoming grievous, that was a special circumstance, as Jesus reminded us to love our enemies and do good to them, not evil. — A day without sunshine is like night.

Evolution, as you well know, will one day put an end to the ‘god created everything’ myth, and it scares the pants off you. What did your stupid belief tell the population at the time of the Great Plague? It is the will of god, He is punishing us for our sins.  we now know what caused the black Plague and given time, evolution theory will become a fact. and as for religious kindness: "And when the Lord thy God hath delivered [a city] into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself" (Deuteronomy 20:13-14).

You are a lunatic if you think a scientific theory, on par with gravity, electromagnetiscm or quantum spin at anyway results in stealing, killing and destruction. As posted prevously the racism, enthic cleansing, holocaust, death camps, are all products of evolution.

No, that was your pathetic and failed attempt at slandering a scientific theory. You made no connection between evolution and those practices. The nazis and the communists built their evil societies upon the foundation of evolution and this is a fact(unlike the false "facts" given for evolution).

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. -Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942) http://www.nobeliefs.com/Hitler1.htm Here is a challenge for you: Find a single quote (and a source please), JUST ONE, where Hitler indicates that evolution is inspiration for his crimes. Up until now you have presented NONE! And considering your entire argument rests on the premise that Hitler and evolutionary theory must be tightly linked, you have done absolutely nothing to prove your case! btw, Stalinist Russia rejected evolution as "bourgeois". Even the communists didn’t consider evolution a motivating force for their system. One cannot hold the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ and at the same time call Him a liar and a deceiver claiming to know His Word better than He does.  Better they call themselves by the proper names of nazi or communist or Satan’s own then to falsly claim to be Christians.

I couldn’t ever relate to the intensity of your superego’s fascism, but I noticed mine go into a corner and sulk ever since at one stage I was feeling really, really down and sort of "let go" on a few things for a while. Next time you pee and it sprays a bit onto your leg, laugh and leave it there, then go out into the streets of Paris in shorts, brandishing your "disgusting" personal hygiene. Or scoop up the dog’s poop with your bare hands. Bite into a cherry, see the maggot, then eat the rest, maggot and all. You’ll notice the world will be just fine, in spite of your cosmic sins of doing disgusting stuff. – — http://voyager.abite.co.za/~berndj/ (up again for now – yay!) —–BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE—– Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQFAj46//FmLrNfLpjMRAjYZAJ4xiXn29MEVgF4FJULkY0IEDhZTLgCghkx7 VHdCbnKUyAJlXstXKs8ue3Y= =SEV8 —–END PGP SIGNATURE—–

When you are no longer afraid to be alone .. that is the moment you become strong.  More POWERFUL than you can IMAGINE. You need someone to show you the way.  I learned these things when I was initiated into a higher order of sex magick circle.  Lots of GROUP SEX. Really a wonderful experience for everyone, the men and the women in there. It’s been three weeks since I had sex and I am overworked at the office.  I am getting cranky.  The women there are really INCREDIBLE .. UNINHIBITED … FREE.

  You need to loosen up. Maybe you are setting up very high standards to be a perfect person and screwing up life. >When I try to >rebel against Him, the best I can do is to do nothing at all (everything has >to be done perfectly, so if I do nothing, it’s not too bad), but still, He’s >there telling me all the time that I’m a criminal for being lazy and >procrastinating.

  If you are single and lonely, who cares if you dont get things done on time. Its not like you are short of time, you have all the time in the world all to yourself. Darn, that is one of the great advantages of being shy and lonely. On a weekend I plan on getting 10 things done and Iam happy if I get one thing done. Its not the end of the world, things can be done later. Why finish something today if it can be put off until tomorrow ? >So there is no real escape. Often, the only choice seems suicide.

  Maybe you need to change the way you think. Get rid of stupid super-ego, he is ruining your life. You are a normal human being, they are not meant to be perfect.

 It takes time to get over the "what will others think of me" mode. Most of the time, others arent thinking about your life, they have their own shit going on in life. Do things for yourself, you should be happy at things you do. You can be single and alone and still have a happy life.   A happy life is not measured by the number of friends you have or if you have a girlf/wife/kids. One can get disappointed with their life if they compare it with other’s life. And you dont really know whats going on in their life, you only see the happy side. Things do change over the course of time, you will have more people in your life. Just be patient, enjoy each day. cheers

One of the things that keeps me from committing suicide is the thought that the people that knew me and treated me like nothing would laugh and say meh, what a loser, figures that’s how he would end up.  Staying alive and doing something with my life is a way of giving the middle finger to all those who’ve knocked me down.

It does do good but unfortunately I only come here when I feel down. But damn I’m terrified of my own life, I keep becoming increasingly bitter and apathetic. I hate it. I’m turning into Darkfalz! When ‘friends’ get together with girls or guys I get so jealous its just not normal then it sets off a mood swing. I HATE who I’m becoming and its hard to fight it.

Yeah I hate people too. I used to get disturbed by it feeling bitter and hoping something bad will happen to most people with girlfriends/ boyfriends or even just people with friends, but now I embrace my hatred towards the human race. I don’t even care what happens to me anymore. It’s cool not caring.

That’s what I don’t wanna turn into. I still don’t hate hate them. I get awful jealous but I can see myself becoming like that. Slowly but surely its gonna happen then I’ll never get a chance to be happy cause I’d be too bitter to find anyone. "Victor" <ura…@urectum.co.uk> wrote in message

Sounds like you need to get out more – I mean in the day-time, on your own, away from people sense.  Seriously, communing with nature does you a power of good, clears your head.  Go for long walks on your own, not expecting or inviting any contact with anyone, and don’t permit yourself to think about people either.  Take an interest in your surroundings, listen to the birds, see enjoy what you see around you.  Above all, don’t let it become a chore, because that will just create something else for you to become bitter about.  Other thing is, you put "friends" in quote marks, to me that implies you don’t really think of them as friends.   Maybe you’d be better off not associating with them so much?  Spend more time in the company of strangers – after all, they are merely friends you haven’t met yet… Monster — Who stole my sig?  Who stole it? Own up, dammit!!  It was YOU, wasn’t it?

I don’t hang round with anyone when I’m on holiday at all. That’s what drives me crazy nothing to do with anyone. The reason I say ‘friends’ is that they’re ‘fun’ friends. You do things with them not talk to them about serious stuff. I do like going for long walks it does clear your mind I’ll do it more when I get the time it does sound like a good idea. Got a nice forest near me too (hopefully I won’t get lost in it!). Spending time with strangers ain’t really an option, I’m far too shy and socially inept.

It’s no big deal. If it happens, it happens. Most people out there would rather kill you and steal your wallet than tell you the time when you ask anyway so you have good reason to hate them. It must be something like 95% of the human population is evil. You’ll simply be avoiding those evil people who would screw you over. I had some religious nut babbling about god come around the other day and even he said that god had abandoned earth and that the devil is in control. Explains alot. Anyway, seeya. Good luck.

Thanks for the kind offer :-) But as I’ve said before when I was whining about not having a friend to write something about me for my high school year book and got some kind person offering that they’d write something up I could submit; its just not the same.

Response:

A girl (yes a female!) brought me a present for no occasion too! I don’t know what it is yet. But this is the first time anyone has brought me anything (non family and after the age of 10 when I stopped having ‘kiddy’ birthday parties). I felt so happy when she told me. It reminded me, however, of how bad its been. I was thinking on my 16th birthday a friend sent me an e-card. And since my birthday is in the school holidays no one remembers (since I never celebrated it). The card was really funny and I was touched that someone thought of me who was non family. Every single birthday since I’ve thought of that card. But haven’t got any cards (apart from family of course). But anyway my 18th birthday was a joke. I seriously can’t even remember it. All I remember is dredging it for 2 years before it because family would be asking what I’m gonna do for it and not knowing what to say. The one thing I can remember is going to bed being glad it was over. I’m pretty much gonna be like that for my 21st probably. My most recent birthday I can’t remember either. God damn sad. Just another day in the year. I hope next birthday I get some cards from new ‘friends’ I’ve made and get to go out too. Anyway things seem to be looking up, but still I feel alone. When one part of my loneliness seems to be getting better I dwell on the other part instead of thinking its better than it was before when you had neither parts.

Yeah. It’s hard sometimes not to just punch brick walls and suchlike full force, just at random as I walk past. Sometimes we have to hit them just a little to hold back the rest. It’s not an impulse to damage other things, it’s because I know the wall won’t be hurt at all but I could be hurt quite badly. damn, i wanna go do it again. considered heading down to the punching bag i have hanging in the basement for precisely this reason (ie: so i don’t have to si to punch something really hard), but the decision in my head is that i’m not sposta, cuz it’ll hurt my hands more. Wow. Didn’t know anybody else did punching as self-h*rm. i pretty much do/did everything but cut. i read up on mental illnesses in my teens, and the common signs and symptoms, and then scrupulously avoided those things. voices? nope. i don’t hear voices. self harm? nope. i don’t cut. i just punch brick walls and get ppl to spank me with 2×4’s. amending spoiler. ok, your turn. Um, when push comes to shove I guess I’m not sure if I can really talk about it. But I’ll try, because I want to.

I agree with Monster. Metal’s looks are not a problem for him at all. The caveat: Grooming and clothes make a difference.  By clothes I don’t mean expensive GQ clothes, but washed and ironed and in reasonably good taste.  There wasn’t anything wrong in the picture. Dark ignores the fact there’s millions and millions of women and one Brad Pitt. I could stand to pick from the remainder.    Nicole Kidman turns me on, too, but it sure wouldn’t stop me from falling for a mere mortal woman (and as far as looks go, I’m not hard to please)

I agree, he’s cute. A better haircut (that straight zip across your forehead doesn’t work) and a nice smile will make all the difference. lm (female)

If that picture is an accurate representation then facial looks are not a problem in your case. Start looking elsewhere for reasons for your lack of success with women (assuming that this (lack of success with women) -is- the issue here).

I don’t agree, df, Brad Pitt is what women fantasise about, but being rational human beings (well, sometimes) they set more realistic goals for their actual conquests.

For what it’s worth there’s precious little joy in it if any.  Unless one is a total psycho, which does not seem to be the case with guys like DF.   More in the waiting-to-explode category. >>Don’t forget to shave your wrists.

He is as pure as the driven snow. That just drives you insane with jealousy. Don’t forget to shave your wrists. I know you want to. It’s so depressing over Christmas. I bet the loneliness is unbearable. Oh yeah, how about posting pics of your body parts? Don’t show your face. I doubt if anyone could identify you. I’ll be your friend, again.

Only in that I wish I was a 19 year old virgin. But I am not. I am a 24 year old ex-call girl, model, stripper, and porn actress. I am not jealous of his psychosis. Being a virgin does not make anyone pure. No one who hates for the joy of hating is pure. >Don’t forget to shave your wrists. I know you want to. It’s so >depressing over Christmas.

I did that once. I tried to kill myself. I wear bracelets to hide the scars. I almost died. But I dont want to kill myself anymore. I like being alive. You know, how simple things suddenly become so incredibly beautiful. Like the rain. I do envy the people who have happy families and stable lives. I wait on them in the restaurant and you can just feel all the love between them. I like walking around and seeing all the christmas lights. Seeing the people. I bought gifts for my sister and her kids. They are my only real family. >I bet the loneliness is unbearable.

Really, it is not. You dont understand. For the first time in my life I am totally free. I was first a prisoner in an abusive family. Then I was a sex slave. Now I have a job and my own little place. And I am happy. >Oh >yeah, how about posting pics of your body parts? Don’t show your face.

I do not have a scanner. I do not own a digital camera. Showing you my tits is not one of my priorities in life. Right now i dont even own a car. My next purchase is going to be a microwave. >I doubt if anyone could identify you. >I’ll be your friend, again. I will attack darkfalz if you do.

Ever since Zoe showed up there has been a steady decline in the level of goodness in this group. I guess Zoe thought some of our goodness would rub off on her. What really happened was that she contaminated the spirit of this place. She exposed her evil ways to sweet virgins like darkfalz. Thankfully, he had enough moral fiber to fight the contamination and was able to flee to safety. I wish i knew Zoe’s address because i’d send her some razors for Christmas.

To the extent that peer review existed at the time Darwin’s work was subjected to peer review. Darwin sent copies around to the leading scientists of the time to get their response.

No scientific evidence that the Bible is true. See, I can play the assertion game just like you can; if you expect to be taken seriously, you had better be able to produce some hard evidence. Darwin’s theory of evolution is the most verified of any major scientific theory.

That’s a rather ironic statement considering the *real* Nazis wore belt buckles that said "God With Us" and justified their racism by public appeals to Christianity. Here’s an example of that: "My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people are plundered and exploited." –Adolf Hitler, from a speech delivered April 12, 1922 and published in "My New Order"; full text online at http://www.hitler.org/speeches/04-12-22.html [...] Please provide peer-reviewed studies of your assertions. Tee hee hee, fundie evolutionists mantra # 55 demand a journal reviewed by a self admiration society of evolutionists.

At least evolutionary scientists, unlike creationists, don’t sign sworn statements promising that they will ignore any evidence that interferes with their predetermined faith conclusion. "By definition, no apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record." –from http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/about/faith.asp the time god and the chance god are dying, along with their magical primordial fairy tale pool where non living matter arranges itself in complex patterns and begins to live by magical fairy dust.  If one believes in that mythology, he is not very scientific. You have posted a dozen times this AM. You have yet to provide any scientific evidence for any of your assertions. Please provide that scientific evidence now. Tee hee hee, if someone would post some scientific evidence that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor, we could use the same evidence to conclude that they might have a common creator.

False. One kind of evidence that points to common descent and *away* from common design is the existence of shared genetic errors – scrambled bits of DNA that do not serve a protein-creating function. There is no creationist explanation for why unrelated species would independently accumulate the exact same errors at the exact same locations in their genome; of course, the evolutionary explanation is that these errors occurred in the common ancestor of those species and were inherited by all the daughter species in its line of descent. Here are some shared genetic errors within the artiodactyl (hoofed mammal) family: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~lindsay/creation/nikaido.html And I know you don’t *really* care about tomato plants or giraffes, so let’s get to the heart of the matter – here are some genetic errors shared between humans, apes and monkeys: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/section4.html#retroviruses — "We have loved the stars too fondly     | a.a. #2001 to be fearful of the night."            | http://www.ebonmusings.org –Tombstone epitaph of                  | e-mail: ebonmuse!hotmail.com   two amateur astronomers,              | ICQ: 8777843   quoted in Carl Sagan’s _Cosmos_       | PGP Key ID: 0×5C66F737

snip Actually the odds are one to one. Unless you believe in panspermia like Hoyle did. Evolution is a fact. It is not a fact that tomatoe plants and giraffes have a common ancestor.

In fact their is strong evidence that man and the banana have a coomon ancestor due to the fact we share many of the same genes. We have 50 percent of the same genes a banana has. Darwin’s theory of evolution is the most verified of any major scientific theory. What a joke, did you go to shcool to learn humour?  Darwins theory, slow gradual change from tomatoe plant to giraffe was rejected by the evidence decades ago.

Not according to 30,000 scientist in related biological fields. At least 99 percent of all biologist believe Darwin’s theory to be correct. I doubt it, but then you haven’t proven it either.

Project steve says there are 30,000 scientist who believe in evolution and thats just a start. Try finding 300 creation biologist or related fields. And don’t give me names of mechanical engineers or lawyers, etc. http://www.ncseweb.org/article.asp?category=18 There are libraries full of evidence for Darwin’s Theory and there is no evidence for the story of creation.

Punk eek is a form of dawinian evolution and has nothing to do with creation. the time god and the chance god are dying, along with their magical primordial fairy tale pool where non living matter arranges itself in complex patterns and begins to live by magical fairy dust.  If one believes in that mythology, he is not very scientific.

The study of evolution is not mythology it’s science. The creation story is however strictly myth with no supporting evidence that it has any basis in fact. Lane – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – — Michael People who don
