  there is this guy going around another blog area thinking he is the last coca-cola in the desert.

  constantly spewing nonsense from his big gob.... anyway now he has started up this did you know topic about the church's involvement in america's government.. one of his did you knows is:did you know?

  every session of congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.. .

  Sure, you can play ExLax & irritate the shit out of him either way. But, you're gonna be more convincing if you attack from an angle you believe.
  
  
  for example:
  
  "DID YOU KNOW? Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777."
  
  Dammit! These neo-con bastards are sucking up our tax dollars for their fundie cause! Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? I'm calling th ACLU on my next coffee break!

  You're damn right they do! Our nation was founded on Christian principles, and if you dont agree with 'em, you may want to reconsider your citizenship options.
  
  Pack wisely, Akbar! ;-P

  Are you in favor of the sanctioned prayer? Or against it? And what is his position?

  okay....i tried reading the whole thread about not taking christ out of xmas http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/97085/1.ashx, but really, no, that is just too much to read through...and i figured no one would both to see what i had written anyway...so here are a few other reasons for those of you to celebrate on dec 25th if you don't have "christ in your christmas".

  i suppose if you don't have christ in your christmas we could call it "christmas lite" or "christ free christmas" "nonchrist latte with half decaf".

  anyhoo.... 1. isaac newton's bday...a giant in math and phyics .

  Speaking of which ... perhaps this deserves its own thread, but does anyone else have a good eggnog recipe? I start off with about a dozen eggs & some cream & vanilla & rum & bourbon & nutmeg & sugar ... but generally seem to get lost after testing the bourbon & rum for quality.

  "I am just curious what people could/would say if they had other reasons besides those."
  
  Blame the eggnog, Hon. And the bottle of Rare Bird I generally find under the tree. A little aged bourbon makes it worth crawling out of bed on a holiday.

  "2. Clara Barton's bday..the found of the Red Cross, an organization that over the past 100 years has done as much or even more good than many Christian churches for humanity in general"
  
  Technically, Clara brought the Red Cross to the U.S. The organization was actually founded in Switzerland several years earlier, which is why the Red Cross emblem is a reverse of the Swiss flag. The american Red cross is a member organization of a larger group which also includes the Red Crescent, a similar group providing humanitarian relief in Islamic nations. (Trust me on this one. I'm on the board of directors for our local Red Cross chapter.)
  
  "3. Jimmy Buffet's bday...I don't think I have to go into detail on how important Jimmy Buffet is to the world. As far as I am concerned, if there is a paradise, cheeseburgers will be plentiful there."
  
  Really? I never knew Buffett's b-day was 12/25.

  i was 11, coming out of the 5th grade, my dad had just been to jail for having sex with a kid who was 14 at the time, he has been having sex with her for two years and everyone in the 1900 person town i grew up in new it.

  i remember always being the last picked for everything.

  i couldnt even throw a baseball or football correctly, it always looked like i was lobbing a grenade, no accuracy, no power, nothing.

  May he rest in peace, my old man loved baseball (and golf, and bowling, and boxing). He had been involved in all of these sports when he was younger. Of course, he was an Indians fan, having grown up in northeast Ohio. I try to not hold that against him. :-P
  
  At least he took the time to pitch some balls to me when I was a kid, and buy me a ball & a bat & a football & to encourage me to find that at which I could excel.

  You can make a difference in a little chicken's life!

  did you know that 99% of the egg farms throughout the world apply the same barbaric methods to produce the eggs we consume?

  these methods were printed in detail in our local newspaper this sunday and they are shocking!!!

  first off: all the baby chicks are separated by sex.

  And don't forget that fish have feelings, too! Before you support the barbarians who promote the immoral slaughter of yellowfin tuna and those cute little squids & clams, take a gander at http://fishinghurts.com/.
  
  You'll soon turn to preparing tufu chowder and vegetable sushi in your kitchens, which will leave more dolphin, sea bass, and swordfish for me to eat ... or maybe just a tasty catfish dipped in some sort of egg batter. :-P
  
  Seriously? The ultimate goal of most groups like these is very evident on their websites, where they tell us "Please choose an egg-free, animal-free diet. There is no such thing as a "humane" commercial egg or any other animal product – no matter what the label says." In other words, give up eating eggs. Give up eating chicken, beef, pork, venison, fish, shrimp, rattlesnakes, alligators, or snails. Kiss your fur & leather coats & shoes & baseballs & gloves goodbye. Forget about milk, cheese & butter, too.
  
  And yes, debeaking is pretty common in larger poultry farms. The alternative is seeing birds with a lot of missing feathers & flesh & maybe even missing eyes because the other birds have pecked at them until they're raw & bleeding ... which ultimately results in another dead/dying/diseased bird.
  
  I don't doubt that there are some farmers who treat their animals inhumanely. But I think that saying 99% of all eggs come from such conditions is a stretch.

  "If you are celebrating Christmas do you know why???"
  
  It's a simple equation: no bling under the tree = no nookie for weeks.

  WT speaks out on phone sex!! LOL!

  i was reading the "mobile phone" thread and then found the article below on the official wt web site.

  i'm surprised they don't tell people to empty the garbage and polish their shoes when they get horny rather than engage in phone sex.

  why the wt feels the need to comment on these topics is really beyond me, but it's good for a laugh.. http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2004/2/22b/article_01.htm.
