(I'm cautiously pro-choice by the way.)

Cautiously pro choice? Where's the hesitation coming from?

I don't think too many people are enthusiastic about destroying an embryo. But understand why people should have the choice.

I would consider that an eminently reasonable position. Too bad unreasonable people are so abundant in the US.

My only issue comes later in the pregnancy. But these things are on such a grey scale that it's hard to really judge.

This music video/short film has a religious and spiritual edge to it. Great song too:

Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky [Short Film]

Mr. Charlie · 02-23-2016, 02:29 PM

Good song, wasn't it? Yes!

Now for some religious s**t:

Taoism
s**t happens.

Buddhism
If s**t happens, it's not really s**t.

Islam
If s**t happens, it's the will of Allah.

Protestantism
s**t happens because you don't work hard enough.

Judaism
Why does this s**t always happen to us?

Hinduism
This s**t happened before.

Catholicism
s**t happens because you're bad.

Hare Krishna
s**t happens rama rama.

T.V. Evangelism
Send more s**t.

Atheism
No s**t.

Jehova's Witness
Knock knock, s**t happens.

Hedonism
There's nothing like a good s**t happening.

Christian Science
s**t happens in your mind.

Agnosticism
Maybe s**t happens, maybe it doesn't.

Rastafarianism
Let's smoke this s**t.

Existentialism
What is s**t anyway?

Stoicism
This s**t doesn't bother me.

Good thing you cut and pasted this, cos Ive never read it before.

Mr. Charlie · 02-24-2016, 12:02 PM

Hmm, I'm not having much luck in this thread. First my fabulous spoon analogy gets picked apart, and now my copy and pasting. But I'm gonna come back with a tremendous post and cement my reputation as a funny, intelligent and sensitive human being. You'll see...

Mr. Charlie · 02-24-2016, 12:44 PM

Okay, I've got it. Now this post should appeal to everyone: the poor, logical folk shackled to the illusion of rational thought, the theists, the deists, even the agnostics. Or maybe it'll piss everybody off

, I don't know. Or care that much. It's just thoughts and opinions, innit.

Over to you, Baba Ram Dass: (yes, it is a great name)

Don't get angry! It's just a post of some thoughts, just a video of some thoughts. Nobody gets out alive. Not the serious. Not the non-serious.
So smile.
