I have it just to keep in touch with people (during and post-university and suchlike) and because many events are now organised entirely through facebook (I once missed a friend's birthday party because he invited me to it only on facebook and I'd blocked event invites from him because he organised shitty club nights…
I thought one or two jokes in it have been alright. But then I have read about three of them. And the rest doesn't really make up for it. And I seem to be in the minority in finding any part of it funny.
Of course it's not serious advice.
There's plenty of violence and hate inherent in all three of the Abrahamic religions. The followers don't need to twist anything.
I just think that if you're able to critically evaluate and accept or discard the teachings of a religious text... why bother with the religious text? You're clearly capable of living without it and don't need to be told what to do.
I was joking. How can you pick and choose the word of God? If you say "I think this bit is horseshit", you're kind of undermining the rest of it. The Bible (or Torah, or Qu'ran) is irrelevant if you start picking and choosing.
Yeah man, I hear AIDS is pretty much cured now. Global warming isn't a big deal (the Vatican has AC, right?), nobody really dies of malnutrition any more, nobody gets raped or murdered, there aren't any wars going on, everybody lives in a democracy and whatnot. The world's most pressing issue is clearly gays getting…
Right, the teachings of the Almighty just need to be tweaked a little bit to get rid of the bits we're not so keen on following...
...If Obama's medical utopia is anything like the NHS, this girl will get her healthcare for free, now and for the rest of her life. Unlike in the current American healthcare system where if she can't pay, she can't get surgery. Woo, free market.
I got a mini christmas tree at university once that was horrible and gave me and my housemate a rash. We let it to die outside. I'm fine with every other tree I've been near.
Aside from the obvious fact that we've all been eating them for decades with no noticeable change in cancer rates (especially among people who drink diet sodas rather than sugary ones):
Journalists misinterpret science? Shocker.
Seems fair.
I see body hair in the same way I see any other aesthetic modification/preference: ear piercings, tattoos, hair styles etc. It's a bit depressing that it's been turned into this massive thing that women must do. I don't think it's unhealthy for men or women to prefer the look or feel of something in their sexual…
...Deal? Apparently in Germany it's the norm for men to shave their armpits (my housemate at university spent a year there and was asked to do so by a girl he was seeing. He complied for what it's worth).
If those people faced up to their lack of faith, the Catholic Church's pernicious influence would be a lot weaker.
It is not carcinogenic. It's actually a hell of a lot better for you than actual sugar.
There was a guy called Jean Baptista dos Santos who had this (and a third leg (like an actual third leg...)) who apparently met and had an affair with a woman called Blanche Dumas who had two vaginas.
I think they maybe don't understand that they're actually part of the media too and this all contributes...
