The Toronto Star is just about the most corrupt rag that anyone can read. They are totally dedicated to their corruption.

A little more dark humor

Who gives a damned? It's just used meat.

It's that time of year, again...

Diogenes comments on Jan 23, 2022:

"It's that time of the year" , a month after Santa Clause's birthday, and finally all that ugly noise has stopped- and I can quit throwing stuff at the boob box.

It sucks getting old...

Diogenes comments on Jan 23, 2022:

Those 'baby signs'- the half-wit that is going to smash into the back of your car couldn't car about any signs. And ya, about 100 years ago, I was an ugly baby too.

Don't throw things, I'll leave quietly.

Okay!

Meet Matilda. She is a real knockout. Shame about her hat, though. 😆

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2022:

Love her--- if she was on my side.

Never noticed until now

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2022:

Nothing like another crooked lawyer---- I have 'vast', personal experience on the subject

Just to be clear...

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2022:

No, that cough is from stupidity. I quit cigarettes '50' years ago. (ya, I'm older than god-dude). If a person dried up something as banal as banana peals and smoked it, there would be lung problems. Clean air is meant for the lungs.

Strangely I haven’t seen this here before. This is so true!

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2022:

I would say that that was being well informed. I am not so well informed. I started to ask myself one question that led to many other questions: "Has anything ever come back from the dead?", "Was the universe created in seven days?", on the subject of morality, "God fucking a virgin." It's a book of twisted humour.

I'd like to hire that photographer--- at any time!

I was at the art gallery and my gaydar started beeping, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!!! I wonder why?

Diogenes comments on Jan 21, 2022:

"Gaydar!" I think the gay style should be introduced to the sex life of plants too. The pollen could pollenate the pollen, forget about that stamen, just throw it away. Although, there wouldn't be much fruit; it wasn't meant to be that way.

Unsolved mystery...

Diogenes comments on Jan 20, 2022:

Funny. I've seen these specific signs before. Where is this place/town?

“I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no god.

Diogenes comments on Jan 19, 2022:

I am 100% sure that all human-made gods are laughable- what I have no knowledge about is whether there is a cognitive presence guiding Nature. That is why I am an agnostic. And I refuse to fill the empty space with 'invented' answers, that includes invented gods to an invented non-cognitive presence.

Weather related…we got a foot of snow!

Diogenes comments on Jan 18, 2022:

"A foot of snow". That may be tolerable; that's what we got last night- but when the wind starts to pile the 'feet atop the feet' it becomes a problem.

You can never be sure why the job vacancy is actually there

Diogenes comments on Jan 18, 2022:

THAT is one of the best ideas about employment. I've had jobs where being there for a few hours, was a few hours too long.

Weather related…we got a foot of snow!

Diogenes comments on Jan 18, 2022:

I find it amazing that if it is safe to drive 30 MPH, ya, I said "30", that the loons will try to at least double the speed limit.. When it is impossible to stop on ice at regulated speed, I believe a thinking person would drive at a lower speed. And stopping at 100 yards is hardly what could be called "stopping". Never been to Montana, but that highway north out of Fargo is damned scary at night and with blowing snow. It is just a guess as to whether a person is on the highway or in some farmers field.

This is why god needed Sunday off, trying to keep all the BS straight was giving him a headache...

Diogenes comments on Jan 16, 2022:

It was Constantine who created the first day, Sunday, as the seventh. I guess that was because it gave god-dude a chance to think about what he was about to do. He should have thought longer,

The brain is like a muscle.

Some are saving their brain till a thought somehow floats into it. Ya, don't use it, ya lose it!

That is believeable

Ya, never drink the 'humanoid' stuff--- they gotta go for the bovine essence, with a bit of cow shit, to give it flavour.

Diogenes comments on Jan 10, 2022:

Yes, this may be my interpretation of words, but being 'clever', the ability to wrongfully manipulate ideas is not smart, or wise. Dostoevsky has nailed it.

I dunno if you can consider song lyrics to be quotations, exactly.

Diogenes comments on Jan 9, 2022:

This is not song lyrics, and I have taken it out of context, from the poem by Richard Lovelace, To Anthelia With Love. "Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage." I guess if one has enough mental muscle, that could be true.

Words to live by.

Yes, what could be more true?

Not just a funny man!

Diogenes comments on Jan 4, 2022:

Yes, I agree with this quote. I like to see the "good" winning once in a while. But to know good, unfortunately, one has to see evil. Yin and Yang. How can a person know warmth, if they have only experienced cold?

Disobedience is the Original Virtue.

Diogenes comments on Jan 4, 2022:

And that is why no thinking person should be in the military- where blind obedience is forced on a person. "Obedient kids"! "Showing" children what comes of thinking of different possibilities, by example, is a far better way.

Diogenes comments on Jan 1, 2022:

Well 8 hours into the New Year- I started creating 2021 again. Hell, I waste no time! I had a flat tire from a wood screw that I had left on the ground. Guess there was not enough misery in 2021. I said, "Heck"---- well it wasn't quite, "Heck".

I have no interest in reading that so-called "holly book" from one end to the other- but isn't the first commandment, something like, "Thou shalt have no other god before me?" For such a big boy, it would seem that he has such a small, infantile ego. He needs to grow up!

Not many members around today.

Diogenes comments on Dec 26, 2021:

Yesterday this happened. -----After this lousy year and hearing that howling and grunting coming out of every radio for a month; it wore me down. I was unshaved and dressed like I was ready to clean the barn. I drove by a pub and the lights were on. Yep, it was open! I had two pints- and when I went to pay, the bar maid said it was "free". I'm going to have to dress like that more often! I thanked her and left a good tip.

Poor Jesus! All dressed up and nowhere to go!

Diogenes comments on Dec 26, 2021:

Well maybe on one of his half a dozen other Orthodox birthdays!

Please drive and drink tis holiday season.

Diogenes comments on Dec 25, 2021:

After I've had my last two pails of beer- I still drive safely! I drive in the ditch; there's less traffic there! Serious for a second---- I hate drunken ass holes!

For those who knew the holiday songs:

Diogenes comments on Dec 22, 2021:

Sick humour- but ya, 'sumpthin'' like that! Can't remember the history that I have read; about till around the 11th century priests could get married. After that they had to rely on perverts and children. One pope sired about 6 children in the Vatican. Guess he didn't believe in the first idea.

I accidentally glued my fingers together with super glue the other day!

The God's Honest Truth about Humanism - TheHumanist.com

Diogenes comments on Dec 11, 2021:

I have no idea how it is possible to accept the lies of religion, and yet pretend that reality also has some worth. Maybe I am playing with words, but I have a bit of a problem with the "human" part of humanism- there are other residents on this rock besides humans. Ya, I know, "God gave us meat." "We are going to have barbecued dog this afternoon-----and apple pie for desert!" Evil is such a relaxing pastime!

Social media needs a new widget.

Diogenes comments on Dec 10, 2021:

It would be fantastic to have "friends"--- ones that a person can argue with- laugh with- and that a person could help with, in a time of 'their' need. Forget all the 'me, me shit'!

Shameful isn't it?....

Diogenes comments on Dec 10, 2021:

With all that noise about god fucking Mary- "god-dude" needs to get another proclivity. The only thing to celebrate at this time of year is the winter solstice. The greed and the ugliness of the rest is so far beyond belief!

You must keep your mind on the objective, not on the obstacle. - William Randolph Hearst

Diogenes comments on Dec 10, 2021:

I guess in Willy's case, the objective would be to keep inventing the news.

This would be a great addition to all church lobbies especially the more conservative ones.

Diogenes comments on Dec 8, 2021:

I think that "church lobbies" should have another "addition"---- a line of toilets at the exit- to get rid of all the shit.

Ignorance is bliss

The internet has proved this to be true

Diogenes comments on Dec 8, 2021:

Yes, if a person is so dim-witted that they can walk past pain and misery- and not see it- then they can hardly be called an authority on the subject. And it is easy to see in this world why front-line social workers burn out!
