Yes! Keep rejoicing the fact that you are going to burn in hell and get ass raped by demons for all eternity.

Sounds like fun!

But, heaven and hell are states of mind, not places. They are also (or can be) states of being inflicted on us by others. Mostly my life has been heaven, with a few visits to hell and purgatory in between.

I don’t believe in supreme deities, or the variants of heaven/hell. I do believe that Man’s mind is an amazing thing, and that imagination is probably our greatest asset and our greatest liability.

Parents? Bad example - I know for a fact, that my parents are real people.

I’m torn. Do I deploy the IGNORE function now, or do I watch the stupid-show a little longer. Because, wow she is incredibly fucking stupid. :):):)🙂

(Can’t believe I almost forget the fucking smileys. I chose to use four, because, you know, I have the right. And besides, just using three is strictly for amateurs.)

What is it about functional morons that compels them to share the stupid?  
There must be some physiological need to blurt out the stupid before it shuts down the remaining two brain cells.

I agree! I think that people like you serve a very specific purpose in this world and oh well for them if all those grumpy gloomy gusses don’t understand it! 🙂

So what did you dress up for, for Halloween? Something great I bet! 🙂

No, it’s really not. You are being mocked, and laughed at, and it’s hard to watch, 'cause I _so_ want to join in, but, well, ethics and shit.

AWWW. ☹ That’s no fun. Why not dress up like a fan and spread the love door to door or even better hand out CDs to the kids? That would be way cool fun right? 🙂
