Let's not tear this one apart too quickly.  Look at the substance of the post:

1.  Indeed, do many things come to pass.  More than we can ever hope to see.
2.  Given that, how can people ever make definitive statements about reality, or even morality?

Those are two things we've been kicking about for a while.


And then... Oh.  

I just re-read the second paragraph.  He appears to be a Publicly Masturbating Vegan.

And a self-diagnosed schizophrenic.

Ah.


Carry on.

I don't know man, I prefer to masturbate/fuck in the privacy of my home for comfort reasons. Concrete on naked skin isn't very pleasant.

I still want to know why he compares Jews to cattle.

Probably a vegetarian

[I find myself baffled as to what to do with my time here on Earth.]

People still listen to Linkin Park?

I certainly don't.

What I meant to express here wasn't a position of negativity, more just, having my mind recently blown by the "maybe logic" idea, etc, I find myself baffled as to what to do with my time here on Earth.

That's easy. Have fun.

Every conclusion we ever make about anything is based on an observation of an unbelievably tiny portion of the universe. We can't even pay attention to everything happening in our house at once, let alone our street, city, state, country, planet, solar system, galaxy; we've managed to discern through archaic tools the existence of an entire spectrum of light and sound we are physically incapable of witnessing ourselves, every opinion, every fact, every single thing we base our purpose and entire life on is inherently a woefully under-informed position, there is no truth, anywhere...

And yet, and yet... When I wake up in the morning, it's all still there.

Why look for The Truth, why sweat over it, when you can just whimper and moan, while listening to Linkin Park and feeling the mascara being pulled down your face by your bitter, bitter tears of disillusionment?

I just had one of those moments.  You know.  The ones where you can feel the strings tying you down to sanity just sort of snap.

I'm pretty sure everyone here gets those, sometimes.

Fuck.   What the fuck.

Yep.

Jeebus, forest fires, earthquakes, it's like the end of times in Quebec. 

Quebec- Come for the clubbing, stay for Armageddon!

If you are a seal it is one and the same. 

AHHHHH MORE PUNS!!!

LDS membership is down, to the extent that they are reluctant to excommunicate people who used to get booted in a hot second. It's not even enough just to be GAY anymore; they demand that you actually be having hot gay sex, AND that you prove it.

Seems to be happening with the JW's as well... they decided that they should be focused on Mercy not Judgment when disfellowshiping people 

I guess you can only keep it strict for so long in the modern world

and the Raelians, and the Raj Neesh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_%28Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh%29


....and   ...and  ...and


Did you hear they're making an Atlas Shrugged movie? 

Raelians are hilarious!

And, yes, I've heard tell of the movie

I like stories like these. It reminds me that, while yes, Americans are stupid, there's a whole world out there making us look a little bit smarter.

thread needs moar

By eating da poo poo?

Well played

Reading Crowley seems far more interesting than talking with Thelemics...

Thelemics are a fucking walking contradiction. If there was every anybody who advocated thinking for yourself it was Crowley. For all his faults and foibles he was pretty fucking clear on that one point. And what do the Thelemites do? They worship him and argue over what thoughts he intended for them to think for themselves. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more retarded than mainstream religion's Empty Box Scam, along comes the cult of the bald man

Isn't that pretty much what happened with the Church of Satan too?

NT, that sounds about right, thanks for the clarifying info.

In that case, I can't see it having a massive effect, as per what RWHN said in response to me.  In Europe, drinking and smoking ages are generally 2-3 years lower, and in those few areas where drugs are legal, similar age restrictions seem to apply.  Plus there is also the cultural difference, most evident in the Mediterranean countries, where alcohol is often slowly introduced at home from the early teens, if not younger, which seems to help people take a more moderate approach than in the Northern European states (and UK and USA).

So even if the ages were reduced to be in line with those of Europe, that cultural difference in dealing with narcotic substances may still have an effect.

I just got a funny image of an Italian family slowly introducing a post dinner joint to their kids as they grow older, vs. an English family going, "Roight, yer 18 now. Oi'm gunna get you good and fucked up on quality weed, son!"
