Re: Addictions
Are you making the distinction between what is a (possibly pervasive) habit and things that cause physiological dependence? Are there any difference between the two, to those who think that if a certain substance or action isn't taken that it will physically effect their daily life? Would this mind...

Addictions
Most people think of drugs and alcohol when they think of addictions, but I think there are more than these. The only reason we haven't noticed them is because they aren't so apparently troublesome. I've known people who had to force themselves off the Internet. Utterly destroy millions of bytes of ...

Re: Dawkins: giving atheism a bad name?
Well, I've said my piece here. I still think it's the neutrals that need convincing that we are not the other side of the religious wackjob coin. You stick an snob in front of a camera and watch the audience roll their syes, then they glaze over and then you've lost them. Suddenly we are the same fa...

Well, as in all self tests, this will reflect what you are feeling now. I just thought it was a nice little distraction.

Re: Dawkins: giving atheism a bad name?
I'm sorry, but I can't stand Dawkins. He usually comes off as an arrogant elitist snob when he talks. There are ways to talk to others and there are ways not to. When you talk about either the Theist or Atheist causes, you won't budge the diehards. You are trying to persuade the person who hasn't ma...

Re: What's the most interesting place you have visited?
Justme, :) I thought Anne Frank's "house" was in Amsterdam... Is there another...? As for German castles, I once visited one with especially wide stairs, so that the original owner could ride upstairs for dinner, directly he came home from hunting, without having to get off his horse. :D (Sorry, ca...

:welcome: Justme. Despite being nearer 60 than 50 I can't feel old as I work with folk far older than me. When I grumped at my arthritic knees a woman nearly 50 yrs older than me nodded sagely and told me this was only the start, adding "old age ain't for fearties*". * either Scots or Doric for fol...

Re: Explain your avatar
Mine was from a now defunct newspaper cartoon by the name of Bloom County. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_County The character is Bill the Cat and is, as you can see a rather torn up crispy critter, to say the least. This is how I feel most of the time and the humor is what keeps me going. If yo...

When Did you realize you were old?
I remember not even thinking about it until the date I got the letter in the mail from A.A.R.P. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARP You could have knocked me over with a feather. I just stood there, wide eyed and mouth gaping open in disbelief. Then I got angry and I'm sure if someone handed the lette...

Interesting suggestion from Justme, though I hope your wife, Compo, doesn't "leave that house..." Jus' wundrin', Justme, is an ex-JW a Jehovah's Critic...? :D :pointlaugh: No, I wouldn't quite say that. LOL. I see no reason to make fun of someone's faith.

interesting thoughts
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. War does no...

Rules for Cats
BATHROOMS : Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare. DOORS : Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get the door open, stand on hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have order...

Re: To hell with hell: the threat of eternity in hell
For those people who use the Bible against the free will of others, I would suggest the use of the Bible against them. As I've stated before. I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness before I was cognizant of other, more practical worlds. I was spoon feed the words supposedly in the Bible, one scripture ...

Re: Rabbi - why sucking a baby's penis in circumcision is go
This is rather unnerving in so many degrees it isn't even funny. You don't perform an obvious sexual act upon an infant. I don't care wither it be religious or tradition. I used to believe that there was a medical reason for circumcision. I was done that way at the behest of my mother, who was and s...

Re: What's the most interesting place you have visited?
I spent a few years in Germany while in the military. During my time there we took several tours and one of them was to the south of Germany called Bavaria. There we saw many of the remnants of the Nazi regime, which thankful exists no more. Such madness, such waste and even after that appalling war...
