Blog DescriptionAttempting to provide a different perspective on the things that we have come to accept and believe but this time around with a much mellower tone. Make no mistake however, patience with the bible lobotomized, (or those rendered dysfunctional by any holy book for that matter), is still in short supply. All I would ask anyone to consider is this; we all have a penchant to default to the notion of respecting the beliefs of others, my first response when someone tries to play that card against me is always the same . . . "you first"

Thursday, April 27, 2006The good old water into wine trickBack almost 30 years ago, I went to see George Carlin at one of our local concert halls. Before the well known comedian stepped onto the stage, a warm up act, one Brent Carvers walked out to entertain the audience for a half hour or so. Brent was a hypnotist and illusionist but more than using... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, April 26, 2006Now I feel really badI think I crushed a newbie. Shame on me if this is so. Mind you, I still maintain that I did not go too far but that is of little conselation when considering the outcome. A few days back, a person brand new to this site by about a day was posting and commenting feverously. I received a comment that...

Listening to others contend the importance of believing in and worshipping some invisible guy or be prepared to face his wrath, to me is nothing more than a...

It doesn't even seem to matter when religion is involved, if the point itself has any merit. This can be said about a relatively new movement that wants oh so desperately to teach people the "truth" about...

I like to think that I get it right enough to make up for the times when I get it wrong but upon occassion an experience will leave anyone wondering. I've had a young person, new to Blogit, attempt to open...

Probably not, you wouldn't stand for it. Now how about if they routinely disparaged you, both directly and subtely, then told you that you had no...

As if those of same sex preference will just change their preferences once...

The spun old Mother Superior thought in her mind that she held our fates in her hands. The truth of the matter is that my mother was busy blowing the whistle...

As the old adage says; "there's one in every crowd" sometimes more than one. No group is immune from pinheadism. In the media in recent months we have seen examples of...

What is significant about this is that this client almost became a former client after years of having a longstanding business relationship. Today's transaction was the first in 9 months with this client. This... Sign in to see full entry. |
