The thing about religions is that they're all EQUALLY bollocks.
Throughout every religion, whether it be the big bad Xtians, the Jews, the Muslims, or any of those freaky-deaky new agers:
There is always a majority of foolishness.  No matter what religion, I've met a fairly even ratio of nice, thoughtful "..."ians across the board.  
NICE AND SMART ARE RARE, no matter in which group.  If you meet a group of ANYONE where EVERY SINGLE MEMBER is seemingly nice and possesed of fair mental acuity,
RUN.  They are faking.
There's always a rough 10:90 ratio of sincere thinkers in almost ANY place you can find yourself.  The rest are nothing but loathsome hairless apes, willing to grift you and leave you walletless at the next station.  Fucking apes.  
So I don't care what you think is true.  I couldn't give a damn if you're St. Gregory or fucking Lemmy down the alley, just treat people RIGHT, you sons of FUCKS!  It's not HAARD.  If you need someone as powerful as GOD to tell you to play nice, I don't think I fucking LIKE you.
Right now and right here wouldn´t be the time and place to shout......
...well, you know...?

One in ten, simians. I see TWO posts.
Ook, ook.
::hurls feces::
*Leans to dodge*
That's three.
I'll make it easy for you - I'm a total cunt. The only thing sincere about me is my typos and half of them are faked.
That just complicates matters.

thas right - did I mention I was a total cunt?
Still only three people ITT.
Yeah - get in the ring and be judged. There's a free cool person badge up for grabs. (actually felix - you'r in this thread too thas 4 prospects)
Dammit! Ya ruined the punchline!
*Giggles* Ah well.
Every last person on this planet is certifiably insane. EVERY. All. I am convinced of this. If you think you know someone that isn't, you're wrong. And insane.
Religion helps me prove this point everyday.
what in the hell would sane look like?
sane and insane -
those words have become fairly useless at this point
my vote goes to 'self-destructive' and 'not-self-destructive' when it comes to slapping labels on folks
or better yet: 'self-destructive' and 'trying-not-to-be-self-destructive'
Your labeling system is immensly better than ones the fucktards in the phychological "science" fields use now. At least its a bit easier to tell the difference between those terms.
Not that everyone agrees though. Last time i was commited, they said my use of mushrooms and pot was self-destructive. Fuck psychiatrists.
yeah thats pretty twisted
just so you know
show up at a building at the same time every day in 5 day stretches with a 2 day break in between, and staying there for 8 hours at a time is not self-destructive at all
your body enjoys obeying robots
srsly
That was the point I tried to get across. It was not well recieved. I try and explain that I am not mentally ill, I simply have vastly different philosophical viewpoints than an average American. That maybe in a place like tribal New Guinea, i would flourish.
That concept ,too, was lost on them.
maybe its all a matter of timing
which suggests there is work to be done

The only way to beat them is pretend to join them.

Say what you will, I consider this gig to essentially being getting paid to post on forums, and work on some spreadsheets when the boards go quiet.
Salary, dental, heath insurance, and access to a high-end photocopier.  Works for me.
Plus, I've already decided to go to a bar for lunch.

at this point, do you think i have any doubts of your motivations?
should i start including disclaimers in my posts?
a little fine-print perhaps?
you may look the same as your work-mates, but we all know you bleed discordian rainbow
No, I just wanted to remind everyone that I get paid to post on Discordian sites.
LMNO
-SMUG bastard.
omg conspiracy
LMNO is on the take
believe nothing of what he say
Shit. I think I just let it slip that I work for DHS.
if you want to look good to your boss, you can take the credit for having me expatriated.
just don't mention where I went.
Actually, since I'm your alt, then you're the one in DHS...
you aren't supposed to mention that part of it.
Whoops.
Nothing to see here, move along.

"And those of us fortunate enough to be living today are even more privileged than those of earlier times. We have the benefit of those earlier centuries of scientific exploration. Through no talent of our own, we have the privilege of knowing far more than past centuries. Aristotle would be blown away by what any schoolchild could tell him today. That's the kind of privileged century in which we live."
This guy has distilled my whole "Wisdom of the ancients" stance into one paragraph. Cheers for bringing that to my attention.
While it's true that the amount of information available has increased a thousandfold, the application and use of said information is still in the hands of monkeys.
Standing on the shoulders of giants is my entire life.
Cain,
piggybacking.
I tried to stand on the shoulders of giants, but they kept complaining about my golf shoes.

Throughout every religion, whether it be the big bad Xtians, the Jews, the Muslims, or any of those freaky-deaky new agers:
Except "Bob".
Standing on "Bob's" shoulders will cause lack of feet.
