Actually, I'm a modest, well... we had a thread about that, look it up 
And I'm not particularly fond of large ones, anything over 8" inches isn't a penis, it's a weapon. |

| I'm philosophically opposed to any chemical, sensory-altering influence, so there you go.
I would much rather experience the world as it is, with as little distortion as possible. |

| Masturbation could be a form of incest, since you are technically a member of your own family... | |||

| Make all the judgements you want, and evaluate the world as you will, but do so in silence.
Seek not to crow of your virtue by decrying the faults and deficiencies of others, nor castigate them as though you were their parent and they your child, but merely act on the knowledge of their vices as you must. |

| You know all those "would you do {verb} for {large number} dollars?"
Well, I was wondering, what's the worst, or most out of character thing you'd do for the greatest amount of money you can conveniently consider? |

| Howl's Moving Castle just didn't seem very cohesive. It was certainly *pretty* flash-dazzle-wow, but not particularly gripping.
Also, I just couldn't really connect with Being John Malkovich, I kept wanting to just distance myself from everything it brought up. |

| So, yeah, let's discuss what we think are some of the greatest plot twists or surprises in movies and television.
My first vote goes to "All About Eve", when you watch it over again from the beginning and you *know* what happens, it becomes a totally different film. |

| Tangentially Relevant (from Waiter Rant):
“Did I ever tell you about the time my godfather spoke at an anti abortion rally?” I ask. “He was a priest wasn’t he?” “Yeah.” “What did he say?” Beth asks. “Well, it was an ecumenical rally and people were really whipped into a fire and brimstone frenzy,” I say, remembering. “You know, these loose women are sinners, they’re going to hell, etcetera.” “Man,” Beth breathes. “So it’s my godfather’s turn to speak…………..” …..and shuffling into the pulpit, resplendent in his Byzantine vestments, my godfather looks over the top of his glasses upon the congregation. “I have heard many of you talking today about God’s punishment, His wrath. How you’re good Christians because you hate abortion. But, after listening to the people gathered here, I can’t help but notice that some of you harbor a vituperative attitude towards the very women you want to help.” People start shifting in their seats uncomfortably. “I know many of you, like me, are here because you want to defend the unborn. Some of you are motivated by the deepest conviction.” Another pause. “But some of you are here because you love to hate.” Shocked silence. “Are you here because you really want to help the unborn?” my godfather asks. “Have you taken an unwed mother into your home? Fed her? Cared for her baby? Or are you here because this is where your friends are? Are you here to indulge in a comforting sense of moral superiority? Smug in your certitude you’re not going to hell?” Everyone is listening now. “Let me tell you something about Hell,” my godfather says, “We know there’s a hell because Jesus said there’s one. But we don’t know if anyone’s actually in it.” My godfather lets that thought sink in. “What’s more,” he says, “Jesus never liked hypocrites. He once said, ‘They do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people’s shoulders, but will they lift a finger to move them? No! Every thing they do is done to attract attention!’” Now some of the congregants look angry. “Let me ask you something. Are you relieving these women of their burdens? Or are you adding to them with your self righteousness? Are you helping or hurting? Because if all of your fervor is directed towards feeling good about yourself, if it’s about getting attention, if its about how you’re better than someone else - YOU ARE WASTING GOD’S TIME!” A couple of people get up to leave. Undaunted my godfather continues. “The Lord has never been welcome in the house of the righteous and the certain. Instead He walks amidst the damaged and the confused. To Him, the one that is lost is a treasure beyond price. Who are we to judge these women? They are precious treasure. Love, not hatred, is what they need.” His words reverberate through the church. People are staring at the floor. Some shake their heads in disagreement. Others look thoughtful. “Remember, the mercy of God is radical and boundless,” my godfather says, “And I thank God everyday that He is more merciful than you or I will ever be.” My Godfather steps down from the pulpit. I don’t think he was invited back the next year. ….. |

| How did you come to accept your current faith?
What aspects of it appeal to you? With what aspects do you disagree? What aspects of other faiths do you find deficient? What is the primary purpose of religion in your life? |

| Arguing the ontology of the soul or of human life is far, *far* removed from the practical realities of birth and motherhood.
The primary concern of any discussion on abortion should be to find the causes which would drive one to require an abortion, and possible remedy for that situation. One should not take away one option without offering another. As for my earlier post, I posted not necessarily in response to anything in particular (I hadn't actually read the thread thoroughly yet), but merely wished to pre-empt any potential vitriol further on in the discussion. Hence the reason I could only present it as tangentially relevant, as my grasp of the twists and turns of the thread was tenuous, as best. Edited for disambiguation.

| Speak about what it is at length, interpret it with poetry or art, make a simple statement, or merely share some of the what you love and who loves you.
I shall start with one of my favorite quotes about love. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. -1 Corinthians 13:4-7, New International Version |

| Gay fairy tale sparks civil rights debate
Was the teacher justified in reading the book without notifying the parents? Now, see, I've read the book, and it's no more "sexual" or explicit than, say, Cinderella, or Snow White (you know, that harlot that slept with seven dwarves). |
