Out of Pod Experience

You may never know just how hard it was to keep a straight face delivering those two words. Such moments of perfection are quite rare.

Call me naive but I quite never understood the rage over who puts what in what hole.

When you see it from that angle, all people are getting angry at is who puts what into a meaty orifice.

So, one orifice is wrong but the other is ok? Reminds me so much of the Egg Cutting Technique in Swift´s Travels of Gulliver

People getting worked out from orifices and orifice insertions and invisible voices in the sky is what drove me to work in a Subway. You people up there in the North have nothing better to argue about?

I still fail to understand it. But I appreciate (truly) the effort. In my head, the base argument is moot. Arbitrarily deciding what you can put in any orifice is as logical as any arbitrary reason. Enforcing it on others is even more ... arbitrary.

I lived in a country where not being part of the red political party meant you would not be able to get jobs or get ahead in life and would be cut from several government sponsored benefits. I simply decided to leave, Arbitrary reasons for any act are simply wrong in my book. Will never ever try to understand or even bother for that matter to let myself be guided by PEOPLE voicing their opinions and putting them as LAWS and/or Enforcing them upon others.

My whole point being that no amount of explanation will ever be right for arbitrary reasons of any magnitude. This is beyond hate, activism or even plain sharing of different opinions, its a simple matter of CHOICE.

If a group of people decides and believe their choice lies in someone saying they have to abide by a set of arbitrary rules good for them, may they find happiness everlasting, but honestly, caring for orifice insertion as dictated by X, x being anything you want to name as the sum of all your fears, societal pressure and background plus experience only demonstrates your lack of choice or apathy regarding choice.

I can further illustrate my point here .

Nothing you said, which I respect to the bottom of my heart, has any meaning regarding my naivete on orifice insertion being correct or incorrect question. You just demonstrated you made a choice, yet fail to satisfy the primary need regarding the pivotal issue at hand. How can logically, such a thing be even a point of discussion that inflames the passions of others, much like Jonathan Swift himself, despising the current Political trends of his era , decided to create the Issue of the Cutting of the Eggs to satirize the Illogical acts of many of their brethren regarding acts that even today, 200+ years in the future , seem to be the norm.

In short, you just told me how to cut an Egg from the short end as seen by one of the Liliputians and perpetuated ad nauseam.

I suppose I should have made that more clear: nowhere in what I wrote do I mention forcing that upon anyone else.

Christianity was originally far more libertarian than the Christians like to admit: you're given a set of rules, the consequences, and allowed to choose for yourself whether you follow those rules. It was never for men to decide right from wrong; the Bible is full of people being corrected when they tried to pass judgment on others.

Keep in mind that marriage is a completely different issue. In this case the rational conservatives are the ones presenting the most honest rhetoric: this is a fight over the definition of marriage, NOT over the right to it. They maintain that the definition of marriage is static, basing their belief on thousands of years of tradition and their belief in its divine origin. *IF* marriage is contained to that strict definition, then homosexual marriage is impossible. As one person said, it's like asking for dry water. This is a fight over culture and religion. I wish both sides would leave the government out of it.

There are plenty who, given the power, would certainly like to dictate the choice of orifice. I choose not to give those hypocrites and bigots the honor of being discussed in any rational manner.

Maybe it's just the fact that I've always hated every single piece of Chicken that has come out of that place, but the chicken + pickle has a special place in my heart. For hatred that is.

Every single freaking time, the pickle juice seeps into the breading of the chicken and it just sits there in some disgusting salty cacophony of pickle and nasty breading. Yuck.

Ergo, I knock it SO hard. It is just my opinion, though.

Had this conversation with a friend a while back. I'm of the mind that marriage isn't a right, at least not the legal part of it. You have the RIGHT to freely engage in whatever religious ritual you choose, so if you want to have a wedding and call yourself married I don't think anyone is entitled to stop you. However, the legal contract that we call marriage goes above and beyond that and certainly falls into the realm of "privilege".

One thing our society is lacking is a way to confer the privileges of a marital contract without actually calling yourself married. We have separate processes for joint ownership of possessions, medical authority, and other things that are automatically a part of marriage, but it's a lot more steps and doesn't perfectly emulate the marriage contract. The obvious solution is to simple remove "marriage" from the legal discourse entirely and move to civil unions, but something that rational would never survive the idiocy of the fringe groups.



What they call "dry water" is a "water-silica compound"...which is like calling rust "solid iron". The analogy was good enough to make the point: from the perspective of the Christian, "gay marriage" simply isn't possible because it can't be a marriage without a man and a woman.


Methinks you don't understand what that word means. I troll frequently, but not a bit of what I said here is trolling.


See, this is EXACTLY the problem with this topic. Here I am, trying to offer some insight into why Christians think the way they do without addressing whether it's right or wrong, and people like you just want to ignore the conversation and go right back to talking about how wrong they are. If you want people to be tolerant and understanding of others, you should try it yourself. It's quite enlightening.

Holy rambling paragraph, batman!

Your disdain for people of faith clearly prevents you from having a rational conversation about their motivations. I made some things very clear in earlier posts that you're either blatantly ignoring or completely failing to comprehend. Either way, I see no purpose in attempting to discuss this further with you.



Anyone using this "word" should be summarily lobotomized.

That might be hyperbole.

Just to spike things up in this hot thread, I present you RICH KIDS OF INSTAGRAM ... weee! The 100.000Euros bill was just too much

A page full of proof that even rich people can completely lack taste and style
