Remy says that the Left will claim it's wrong to call people "retarted".
I'm wondering whether they meant a jam tart, a treacle tart or a First Lady.
A Bakewell tart is also very nice, named for the town of Bakewell, Derbyshire, England.
I'm assuming that a "retart" is a second helping...Which is why the RIght have a downer on obesity.
And I'm assuming that you would like a helping or two of the First Lady.
Yep the Brain is a truly amazing organic computing and management system.
Yep, John is always portrayed as the girlie one, and was Jesus's favourite.
And John as likely as not, did not write the book of John, as he would have been getting on for a hundred years of age at the time of it's compilation.
Nope, what Jesus might or might not have said was mostly cobbled together in the big book at a later date, and was largely based upon hearsay and overenthusiasm.
And the more a tale is told, transcribed and translated then the more inaccurate it becomes.
Just maybe BK there is no such thing as a GOD or GODS.
Just a principle of creation development, existence and presumably and end.
Hypothetically, advanced super-intelligences are feasible and could be mistaken for GODS.
I would suggest, that GODS were an intelligent but naive human construct, and are now somewhat out of date.
Unfortunately though a lot of people are brainwashed before they have time to realise the stupidity of the situation.
And I suppose that some people still require a spiritual prop.
One is certainly a good place to start.
When you've mastered One, you can then move on to Two.
Such are Metaethics.
Hmmmmm
I agree with Misterio.
There is one type of person, that at times wonders what happened, so watches what happened and makes things happen.
The basis of science and development is to wonder, watch and make.
OK, so we are not all rocket scientists.
Remove the hypothetical GOD and the variable concept of love from the equation, and the variability of the human condition makes sense.
Basically you are left with evolved organic structures that are prone to ageing, malfunction, conflict and a tendency to overthink.
"Suffering" is simply a descriptive word that we use to describe certain symptoms of malfunctioning or conflicting systems.
Was that pre-Phil Collins.
But I see no reason why an integrated organic system isn't pertinent to conflicting hypotheses.
And of course, many fruit varieties we see in our supermarkets have been developed by humans, to be big, colourful and attractive.
Sort of exemplifies evolved diversity from a common, less complex ancestor.
Which still doesn't discredit the idea of a Universal seeder.
But does somewhat negate the need for a worship demanding creator who made every living thing from scratch.
I will stick my neck out and suggest that most if not all genes are human race.
Let's refer to it as H race.
For sure living standards and social empathy has improved greatly.
And their are undoubtedly non-processed remedies available which can be used to treat mild ailments.
WW1 accounted for approximately 22 million immediate deaths.
At the same time, Spanish flu accounted for approximately 50 million...And that was but one prevalent contagion or infectious pathogen.
In terms of definition, any authoritative body or individual is fascist to some degree. So the left is as fascist as the right even though their political ideology may be contrary.
Such is the inevitability of a two sided argument.
And two sidedness is what constitutes an argument.
I would suggest that "fascism" has come to chiefly represent the level of brutality it takes to enforce a government and a governing ideology.
Well, human social and intellectual development is such that pharmaceutical companies will undoubtedly need to profit from their endeavours.
And should you get an infected tooth abscess for example, you will be grateful that they do.
And should you develop hypertension, a heart condition or cancer in later life you will also be very grateful.
Life's fine when you young and fit, and it's easy to criticise from a healthy standpoint, but just remember that not so very long ago I in 5 of your school friends would have inevitably succumbed to TB, and the chances of making it past 35 years of age would have been very slim indeed.
Well, the reason that there are 8.1 billion of us, and that life expectancy has increased significantly, is solely down to modern medicine and surgery.
Though if you are young and fit, eat sensibly and luck is on your side, then you should not require any medical assistance.
But certainly, there are doctors who will throw pills at persistently sickly people instead of addressing the underlying causes.
Presumably then, someone attaches them afterwards.
Is the alarm triggered by contradictory pheromones.
Or contradictory physicality perhaps.
Sort of hairy hands and big feet in a tight two piece and floral blouse.
It just makes for a nice bit of artwork.
Has pagan origins and like a lot of pagan stuff was hijacked by the Christian mob.
Even your avatar is a juxtaposition of two crosses.
Or eight toasting forks.
Maybe internally the choice is limited to yes or no, or perhaps this or something else.
Whereas the availability of external options may be multiple.
Yep, I'm about a 6.
Sort of average.
Sort of moderate.
Though I also accept everyone else's sincere opinions.
So just a moderate.
Try a Celtic Cross, they're rather nice and very pagan and mystical.
No Mal.
Belief in an unprovable deity is not my thing.
In fact, as I continually state, I do not believe in anything that cannot be proven.
Though I accept theism for what it unavoidably is...One cannot get away from theistic ideology.
Super.
Keep up the good work.
Just don't mention it to Fauxlaw.
The excitement might hinder his recovery.
For sure.
If the cream smells creamy, then Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunty.
Yum Yum.
Sniff and eat pretty electricial engineers, mon ami.
Good to hear.
Though I suppose that discreet personal tattoos are not so bad.
It's whole body tattooing that I dislike, especially when women have random and not particularly good ones on their legs. Just looks naff and untidy.
Face and head tattoos are just ridiculous.
Old fashioned I know, but nonetheless I'm guessing that there is a whole lot of regret out there.
Ink in haste, regret for a lifetime.
Yep, a brain not bogged down with pictorial imagery is difficult to comprehend.
Though non-congenital loss of sight presumably does not affect ones ability to retrieve stored information in a pictorial format.
Girls are Girls and are as hormonally inspired as you are.
Just draw a big powerful eight trident star on you chest and the girls will soon be flocking to you're cesspool of a bed.
Though if you're lucky, mom will perhaps have laundered your soiled sheets and underpants.
But no sacrificial hen stuff, in fact keep the hens out of the bedroom and see if mom will clear up all the hen shit. (Big ask though)
And the girls might also like something nice to drink and nibble, so not just water and dandelions.
And when they eventually get down to the main course, please make sure that it is isn't harbouring any nasty micro-organisms.
In fact, make sure that all entry/exit ports and infrastructure are suitably sanitized.
And the golden rule is, always sniff before you eat.
You'll probably find a bible gathering dust on a lot of shelves.
I used to have one. (Bible and dusty shelf)
No idea where it is now, or you could have had that one. (Not the shelf)
Still have shelves, but have moved house several times, so different shelves now, though undoubtedly dusty.
We're not big on dusting.
Though Mrs Lynch has recently treated us to a new cordless vacuum cleaner, which has been charged, but is still awaiting it's maiden voyage.
Such is Metaethics.
Saw the title.
Knew it was you.
Hope the knee is doing OK.
