I think only 20% of priests remain celibate (80% being a wide spectrum, not just perverts) maybe not forgivable, but understandable another huge institution on the wrong side of history (moving against it's own people), then doing everything except correct the problem?

one thought leading to another...sorry if this breaks any rules. with more and more actresses having a look of yuck and disgust as they follow the directors orders to take a facial, and the way it, I don't know, somehow gets us to disconnect in our minds the experience from the visual, mixing...

hehe, prolly belongs in Activism at the LEAST

Obviously I want that statement, or question, to rattle your head, but I also want to find out how off-base I am for even thinking this? Does the United States government use rape to control it's prison population? Why would that be okay with us? sources for what got me onto this: Wikipedia...

(my opinions about United States media bias, and the manufacturing of consent by our corporations & government towards a police state) Television is defended as an oracle, a reflection, not a molder of public opinion. But I believe that is a lie, just like the misconception we have a liberal...

Myth Number 12 - Cannabis is a Gateway Drug ("Pot leads to meth") What is true, is that people self-medicate, to correct their brain-chemistry, even if they get it wrong a bit. And, they use what works, an "experiential imperative" to re-experience it, even if it costs them the moon. But many...

I went to a concert but it was cancelled (as we got to the gate, which was kind of a bitch)...that was back towards the end of her streak of albums. One of the things about living in the media bubble is you believe you have some relationship to the stars, hehe, and I commiserated with Whitney...

I thought this was funny, and makes something serious easy to digest...that a man with ADHD may focus intently on his partner for a while, but then as his focus shifts, she may interpret it as cheating or not being attractive anymore, and the man may not know how to talk about the shift...it...

I personally think religion works against humanity because of the ways it's become co-opted by those seeking power, and the ways it's encourages exclusion of different sets of people. I think perhaps people come to religion, having had a taste of some deeper sense of community and one-ness with...

be curious to hear what you think about the SharePoint piece if you go microsoft - it allows you to build out sites and applications that can be accessed from the web (collaboration or publishing to people inside or outside your business)

I'd be interested in any update, especially if it turns out to be some kind of censorship being perpetrated by big business, hehe SOPA/PIPA bull#%$

I'm not talking about beliefs, I hope you guys understand that. I'm talking about the experience, It is easy to drop out the "experience" because it is thought to be subjective, we're taught to not talk about our internal life, but there are reasons the human body functions that require...

Superbowl Advertisement from the American Beverage Makers Association ...Something about how they've come a long way, and have many low and zero calorie options now, blah, blah.... Laughing, I say to my wife, "they're apologizing for making us fat." ------------------------- corporate apologists

ADHD, Jittery

I believe all of the statements above ignore the basic experience that people have in religion, which is hightened dopamine levels in the brain. I was just making a funny, that the brain chemistry the religious types have developed the skill to create and maintain is now scientifically the same...

I just had a thought the lead to another, and now maybe I'm a heretic...? Religions, beyond being frameworks for behavior and belief, all provide the means to create cognitive pathways to a dopaminergic state, and a social structure that encourages repeated experiencing of it. So, perhaps that...

Eli Pariser on His New Book, The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You he explains how the Internet is using personalization algorithms to tailor results and what you are exposed to on the web (even if you aren't logged in), and how that presents a clear social danger, as the...

I just picked up an EQ for $20 (bad fan & no remote), repaired it and gifted it to my kid. found a gram and a half of partly vaped herb was fouling the fan, but it's working now. Happy Pancha Ganapati

since i've stepped in to help moderate her usage she's closer and less impulsive fewer sketchy "friends" less drinking, less drugs, more transparency we share for cost savings, and our budget is a quarter of a gram a day each. I've asked her to limit her combusting to once or twice a week...

take pictures please? maybe think about making your own oil. You only need to find good herbs then, and 5x filtered butane. my tube is simple 3/4 copper pipe with a small piece of SS pot scrubber in the lower end, and a cap with a small hole at the top end, it's so cheap and easy I don't...
