How long were you banned for Dave?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Re: Rationalskepiticism,lol.
I did lose it online five years ago and did not like it so stopped doing it. I made peace with my demons and as a result am in a better place. It never completely leaves one of course but nowadays is just a shadow of what it used to be. I keep to myself more or less twenty four seven so have nothing to really trigger me anyway. Good job I like my own company or I would be in trouble. Even if does make any unanticipated appearances from now on it is still not the natural default so will not matter overall. For when you accept death then anger is no big deal. So I am just passing time till I shake off me mortal coil and return to where I came from. Seeing beyond the here and now puts whatever is going down at any particular moment into perspective. Since it all means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I am just passing through so try not to hold on too tight because I will only have to let go at some point. I do have strong opinions but because of the bigger picture they tend not to matter as much as they would have back in the day. I have in all probability least another score and a half before I go but if death took me tomorrow it would not bother me. Long as it is not a painful transition. But even if it is it will only be temporary. And so that is it basically. Stroking me metaphorical white cat whileDaveDodo007 wrote:

Nothing of anything means anything. So I figure one may as well make something out of what's available to them. Hence why my life goal is now to harangue conservatives.

Accepting the Butterfly Effect writ large, everything means something. It's just that nobody can predict exactly what it will mean and as everything is affecting everything else it seems to get lost in the 'noise', but rest assured that everything you do, including moving your bowels, has an effect and so a meaning. Of sorts.

Blowjob technique vs quantum mechanics? There's no comparison mate.
You're trying to compare the very big ( in my case ) to the very small. .

Re: Rationalskepiticism,lol.
I like that idea. I'd wank over Sarah Palin, but i'd feel a bit wrong doing it. But if it was termed a "rage wank", I'd feel pretty good about it. ![:{D :{D](./images/smilies/awesomestache.gif)

Aren't you the disingenuous fuckwit, if Blip would have delivered the banhammer then so be it. Though 'The_Metatron' who ignored me being called an asshole then banned me because of what I posted about shrunk (who I now believe wasn't petty enough to report me.) Just because I showed him to be a delusional cunt in that thread. Though fuck me right just because I'm capable of holding opinions that are not the norm in your fascist dictatorship. Feel free to have a wank over the fact that a difference of opinion wasn't allowed to see the light of day (slow hand clap.) God forbid some people choose to not be sheep in the atheist/skeptical 'community' as they are obvious guilty of bad thoughts.Scott1328 wrote:Not even remotely true.
Still how about you show anything I said to be out of order in the censorship free Rationalia. I'm game, no big brother here. Go for it; give it your best shot because I'm calling you a intellectual maggot so lets have at it.
