Hi Stassa,

Oh god that film was traumatising 😳 Apt recommendation.

Well, you can live with all your intestines removed, it’s not that vital an organ, but your quality of life would not be fantastic.

As someone who’s had part of my intestine removed (bowel cancer), I don’t understand how anyone would do that voluntarily for ‘wellness’ and with less advanced surgery techniques. I had it done laparoscopically and still had a 2 month recovery (and then got a hernia at the surgery site requiring more surgery and more…

Ha!

I am totally stealing ‘twatwaffle’. Pure gold!

There’s so few Congresswomen ☹️

The issue is that the hospital believes that Charlie is in pain, and that prolonging his life for a treatment that is unlikely to work is prolonging his suffering. At the very least, that goes against the hypocratic oath to ‘do no harm’.

Yeah, I know where you are coming from. I felt the same way until I read the book Human Race: 10 Centuries of Change on Earth by Ian Mortimer. It really put current issues in perspective. I still think there is a good chance of regressing a few decades, and of apocalyptic crap happening, but civilisation is so much…

It’s ‘chyron’ not ‘chevron’, that is if you are referring to the ticker tape thing running at the bottom of the screen.

Masturbators were pretty low on the to-ban list. They tended to be non-disruptive, and as far as I was aware, confined their activities to the rest room.

Also former bookstore employee. So much merchandise found in the bathrooms obviously used as masturbation material. And we didn’t sell porn! It was all renaissance art books and anatomy/medical stuff.

‘You can’t police belief’

You clearly, are failing miserably at explaining your point. Don’t vomit on people and not expect them to react negatively.

Oh fuck off you bigoted petulant twat. You’ve CLEARLY flown off the handle and can’t control yourself enough to engage in a rational conversation. You’re not even considering anyone’s argument.

A) not all religions assume a god. Some religions have no god, some have multiple gods, some have a single god, and Christianity has a bizarre Trinity (a sort of Shroedinger’s god). To claim neutrality you’d have to take an agnostic viewpoint, not a viewpoint that is automatically inclusive. An agnostic viewpoint also…

You may not want to hear this now, but others should (which is why I’m replying to your comment). My grandmother carried twins who died (not sure for how long, but it was awhile), but their bodies were expelled at different times and were calcified (a very rare occurrence but it can happen), because this was 1930s…

I’m with Tomuban. It’s obnoxious that anytime anyone calls bullshit on religion we get jumped on. Religion by default should not be sacrosanct and unquestionable in society (just as with any other philosophical stance or perspective). Secularism gives space in society for testing philosophies and practices that are…

Yeah, the Conservatives here are more like Democrats in the US (or like traditional Republican moderates).

I lived in Honolulu while birtherism peaked. Oh man, the long-time residents were LIVID. There’s like 800,000 people living there and the culture is such that everybody knows everybody. Even I knew someone who went to high school with Obama (he was kind of a slacker). Everyone had first, second, or credible third hand…
