But I don't even have a sister! You wake up to discover a dead hamster in your bed.

Here's something... you know how EVERYBODY (Especially OWSdroids) likes to hold Sweden up as a shining example of equality? It's not. While Sweden IS the country with the "least" difference in wages betweeen the rich and poor, WEALTH is a totally different story. The wealth distribution in Sweden is pretty close to the same as it is in the US. Their poor are as wealth-deficient as ours (though their middle classes seem to be in better shape. I suspect that this is because so many "initiatives" and taxes aimed at soaking the rich actually hit the middle class disproportionately.) Now me, I have to wonder how, with "more equal" wages, things still work out that way. But then, I wonder many odd things, like how Mexico and Brazil can both be older than the US but still lag behind us in development.

But that's true! You wake up to discover you've been gender-swapped overnight.

I tried to imagine Ross singing that as I wrote it. I think that's what made it so good.

Cannot unsee!

You just sat on an angry cat.

"Do you want to buy some Girl Scout cookies?"

And so I ask you this one question: Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?

On that note, other incredibly stupid things people have sincerely believed include: that the Earth is flat, that you can balance an egg on its end on the equinox, and that photographs steal your soul.

I've been known to create and destroy entire star systems out of boredom. I once boiled all the oceans off of a planet whose indigenous sapient life (cetaceans, by the way) had just entered the Bronze Age.

Keep it up and we'll talk about "Sealing."

Hey, OWS has decided to share some more of their thoughts... 'Occupy' protestors caught dumping human waste in bank

I've gotten hate for being White. Non-Christian, Republican, Democrat (I've switched), smart, a Trekkie, a Babylon 5 fan, a male, a friend of a gay person, a state employee, a college employee, a person who actually believes people should follow rules that they agree to, and nearsighted. And being an arrogant, snarky bastard... but that's deserved. I don't mind hate if it's deserved.

Also if this thread stays about religion, it's gonna get moved to "Serious Topics," and NOBODY wants that. We've already got on ethere anyway. So... I really really REALLY want a godsdamn doughnut. The group meeting upstairs today had LOADS of doughnuts, and I had to make coffee for them. Oh, the sweet sugary smell! Fvcking diabetes!

Do not. Many Christians are fine people who I love the hell out of. See: My gramma. On the other hand, Santorum. "Hate" needs to be taken on a case-by-case basis. I'm too lazy to hate most people. The worst I usually manage to summon up is "vague disdain." "Make fun of," however, knows no boundaries. You gotta understand, to folks like me your ideas merit the same level of respect as those of people who fervently believe in bigfoot, "magick," astrology or that vaccines are bad for you. But hey, if you need some payback, you can try and make up some good Deist jokes. Q: "What's the difference between an atheist and a deist?" A: "People will invite a deist to dinner."

A sect of Silly Person. Sillier than a Christian, slightly less silly than a Scientologist. Mormons take the thing about the self-killing Jewish Zombie, but then they add a thing about disappearing gold tablets and Jewish Indians. But there are no alien spirits or nuclear bombs in volcanoes.

I should have been clued in when you claimed to have "a friend."

You mean Project Mayhem, or Project Mayhem actually succeeding? The first - no, it's useless. It will only hurt those foolish enough to take it seriously. The second - if in some world where alien space bats actually came along and gave them the ability to achieve their goals, the results would be nothing less than craptacular. But just because a stupid idea appears harmless, that is no reason not to explain that it is a stupid idea, and should not be supported. You don't let a known psychotic stop taking his meds just because he hasn't stabbed anyone YET.

The problem is that she in my FUCKING SISTER! Well. Yeah. That would do it. Probably should have led with that, actually. Sorry, dude. The next round of brain bleach is on me.

Obviously she wants you to know, and possibly do something about it. So what's the problem, is she fugly or something?
