Diogenes comments on Nov 4, 2017:
Hi. First, my claim to 'fame': I am the biggest vegetarian hypocrite in the world----- that does not make me proud! I go for awhile not eating meat, then, with other problems, not involving eating, I get depressed, and chew up another resident of this rock. We go into the supermarket and there ...

Hope, hi, back again. We are basically on the same page. One thing that I didn't mention on my first note, but you did mention- that was "entertainment". I had the misfortune of working with the hillbillies much of my life. How bad can it get? "Vulgar", by today's standards, may be an archaic word, but it does apply to the hillbillies. They'uns jes loved te git in the jungle an' blow the guts out of sumthin'---- and then blather about it at lunch.
There is all this talk about "freedom".
daddy4pugs comments on Oct 30, 2017:
You are "FREE" to disagree, but you will be punished for your "FREEDOM." Such as choosing not to accept a god concept and burning in everlasting torment. "FREE WILL" at its best.
Diogenes replies on Oct 31, 2017:
Ya, but god-dude was loving you while you burned. Fire is a horrible way to go- the "controllers" certainly knew what torture to threaten the unlearned with.

ThomasMeador comments on Oct 29, 2017:
I have never heard that expression before; "Chained to the Ball of Freedom". I don't quite know what to make of it. Is it referring to trading one servitude for another. Or is it referring to giving up some freedom to gain more freedom, but it's just a more serious servitude? That's kind of what I ...
Diogenes replies on Oct 30, 2017:
Let's try again. My point was, some people 'worship' freedom- they must be connected to it at all junctures: they must have the 'freedom' to drive twice the speed limit, kill someone, and then have the freedom to not pay the price. I am sure there are many more, and varying, examples than that. It is my personal belief that more liberty is gained when a person fights for their liberty/freedoms BECAUSE IT IS THIER RIGHT, but also they should avoid intruding on others rights.
Just because unbelievers have shed one delusion are they really as free of others as they might like...
Introverted comments on Oct 21, 2017:
Depends on the methods you use to determine what is true etc. I'm a big fan of skepticism and the scientific method (by which I mean observation, testing, attempt to falsify, collect data, update models etc), because I've seen how effective those methods are. Science - it works, bitches. :D Being...
Diogenes replies on Oct 30, 2017:
Introverted- not being a sycophant- but the fact is that you have taken the point much better than I have. There is a point that a person does not have to be much of a skeptic, with an above average IQ, to be able to dismantle so-called "biblical truths". Science and the continuous new discoveries are so interesting, compared to any trip through La La Land.
There is all this talk about "freedom".
Squirrellglider comments on Oct 30, 2017:
I am also puzzled by the expression chained to the ball of freedom. I spent most of my life self employed and considered myself free from the chains of the employee. But never felt chained to the demands of any one customer. In fact the thought that there was always another customer around the next ...
Diogenes replies on Oct 30, 2017:
Yes, I agree with you. You are one of the lucky ones, being successful and self employed. But for those that have the "freedom" to buy endless amounts of junk, and are compelled to do that, because they have no self discipline. there is a problem. There is the "freedom" to be a glutton- and die at an early age---- lots of "freedoms". Then there is the freedom to show some discipline, and be free of compulsions.
It is "false news" that Tillerson said that Trump was a "moron".
smilnjan comments on Oct 20, 2017:
Hey, it IS false news! He called him a "Fucking Moron". LMAO!!!!
Diogenes replies on Oct 23, 2017:
Okay, it was "false news" in TWO different ways. First, he is not intelligent enough to be a "moron". The other false news is that he was a "'ucking" moron. Well we know that the only things that he does are with his mouth--- so that eliminates the "'ucking" part. And to clarify something: I don't think "'ucking" is the archangel of all so-called 'dirty' words, but I am in a coffee shop and I don't want to be deleted from their WiFi.
