I can't tell you what I had for breakfast but that's Bill Cosby...mid 60's. "Why is there air" I believe. YES!! - I have 4 of his old records from that timeframe - probably collector's items by now. "Kindergarten" was a great skit. Edit: "I wanna candy bar", but what do they give you? a nasty old brown dried up stick in your throat GRAHAM CRACKER and sitting on the radiator is a carton of milk don't forget "idiot mittens" ...

so trying to join with someone under the pretense of belittling another you hope to find an ally, or at least make your own unrelated positions more palatable... I don't think that's a very nice technique - I don't think Jakee will fall for it.

If you live somewhere where the neighboring 20 countries are all within an 8 hour drive, and half of them have attacked you within the last 3 centuries, then I totally understand why international awareness is important I suspect that people in New York feel that it's important what's going on in Quebec and Pennsylvania and other new england states it's just not an apples to apples discussion - Chinese perspective to the US would make a better comparison in terms of 'international perspective' in terms of impact and multiculturalism - not France, or Germany, or Spain ...

please, reading skills? CrackERS - graham crackers and milk just prior to nap time and those old nasty paper straws they had in kindergarten - good for only one sip before they collapsed And I wouldn't just "give" crackers to children. First, you need a budget review, and then a voter initiative every two years. Then a cross study on eating habits and why kids should get crackers. But we do need to understand the diversity of snack time and offer culture-neutral snacks produced from a green energy, preservative freerange processing and growing industries. Now, after all that is done (along with the environmental impact statement protecting the wetlands and considers the recycling impact of the waste generated from milk (or your standard non-dairy hormone free drink substitute "Melk") cartons (reduced content, from recycled waste) and the cracker carton and wrappers (ditto). We need to then assess the caloric needs of the children and decide on whether to make then eat a snack or leave it up to the parents to decide if their own kids get a snack (yeah, right. parent can't decide that, only the board). Finally, is there any local snack company that would benefit a green industry goal by using them rather than just going with less costly crackers from the "Big Cracker" industry that has the legislature in their pockets as well as the teacher's union. At that point - we can go forward with the voter initiative - build signs for yards and put it in an off year so only teachers really show up and vote. Now, the initiative needs to be over requested in order to ensure signs are paid for, contributions to political campaigns are met, and the poll officials are bribed accordingly. The wording of the ballet needs to be uncomfortable and the ballots should be premarked for approval ("Yes - voter initiative to not declined aid to starving children isn't not right for gosh sakes - god bless america" box is checked vs. the "I hate babies" box) And you wonder why hungry kids waiting for a snack turn to drugs. We HAVE to think of the children. PLEASE Edit: the best part of this. Likely the K-teacher just brings in snacks anyway - then gets fired for not following health codes, but if the initiative is passed, then the superintendant of schools gets a nice new swimming pool. ...

I like this. (I don't believe or disbelieve, I just don't think it matters for a sincere person, for reference). You're saying that you are a believer because it's a positive force in your life (or you choose to use that belief to be a better person). But you can only focus on the reality of what's here, and now, right in front of you. I can disagree with your belief, but I can respect how you've chosen to let it shape your life. And I know first hand that you're a good person. So why in the heck should it be my mission to change that or argue against such a personal and individual decision. Seems if I did that, it would just be to stroke my own ego. (I've also seen quietly confident atheists that I feel the same way about and can use this exact same post for them almost verbatim). ...

depends on the flavor of the shit stirring (ok, not a tasteful way to phrase it) if it causes me entertainment, then great. Skippy is still maturing in the role.

so an active action to reject other's beliefs is a belief in itself just ignoring it and living your life requires no choice in the matter on something so insubstantial as to just not matter I suspect what I call agnostic and what others call atheism isn't a substantial difference. semantics but it is good to separate ourselves from the fanatical atheists (as few as there are) that are just assholes about it. It is religion for them if it generates any passion at all nope, give me agnosticism, it doesn't require judgment where one is not needed rhys - mostly this is the only topic where I agree with you, but you still have some level of spirituality in your take on it that I don't agree with. Karma/spirituality/communing with nature is pretty much a religious foundation IMO - just devoid of the ritualism that's used to bind members to leadership. I have no issue with us being biological machines and chemical factories - and nothing more - it's amazing enough at that. ...

I think the competition is pretty well in front of Skip-B. Mockery (even the low grade muslim name comment ) doesn't hold a candle to angry partsian unlistening hack. With that in mind, he doesn't even make the top 50%-ile. Do you want me to list 5 angry unlistening hacks on the left, and 3 religious fanatics on the right right here that completely outclass skippy in the no-value added department? DO YOU? ah HA - I didn't think so. But it sounds like a competition is in line. I mainly compete on the mockery and whimsy front on Fridays. But I'll give it a crack. for the children ...

that's totally different that pressing and arguing about one's beliefs with someone also convinced otherwise for that matter - if someone is questioning, they are certainly free to go and find out what they need from anyone - also different from someone actively pushing their beliefs (disbeliefs) on others against their will or interest I see personal gains from both positions - depending on the individual - I just don't care to hear them bicker about it when they are so uncomfortable with their beliefs that aren't quietly confident about it ...

Agnosticism is a pointless position. I'll withhold a position on that comment because you can't really prove your point either way. Actually, taking a position on the subject would be a waste of time - the true "pointless position". Actually, let me clarify - spending any energy arguing your position on one's belief with another - is a truly pointless position. Believing what you will is a personal decision and I can see how both positions could add value to someone's life. So it should be just kept private.

Even though that statement is one example of total buy-in to a constructed stereotype and wrong - in other words, bullshit of the most biased kind. However, even if your assumption was true - we'd return to business as usual within a half generation as people polarize like they always do. People are just people - your perspective is one that really underpins all kinds ______isms. it assumes that people can be grouped and judged and prejudiced. ...
