Britain's Got Talent, Or Not, As The Case May Be.
by Doltologist in
1. jw
2. friends
ever wondered why people who really can't sing go for auditions to the tv show britain's got talent?.

i have and, for a while, it puzzled me.. then, this big light bulb went on inside me.. someone on the panel would often say to the contestant 'what made you think that you could sing?'.

the contestant would often say 'my friends tell me that i can'.. that's the problem these days.

it's a beautiful morning here so instead of driving to the local shops, i decided to walk.. on the way, i was treated to an aerial and vocal display by a pair of red kites.

2. experiences
i have exchanged posts with a number of you in the short time that i've been a member of this most excellent forum.. as i initially posted, i have aspergers syndrome.

in my case it is both severe and mild.

it is mild in that unless you talked to me for some time you would only think me a little odd.

What are you gonna do when the existence of god is disproved?
by Doltologist in
1. jw
2. experiences
in 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.

this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.

today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.

1. jw
2. experiences
prayer is the act of saying something to someone that doesn't exist.

above all else, we need to respect ourselves for, if we don't, we are not capable of respecting others..

thirdly, bow to no one for if they had any respect for you, they wouldn't ask you to bow..

Help with understanding

1. jw
2. experiences
please take pity on me someone and help.. i was going to say that i suffer from aspergers syndrome but actually, i've come to rather enjoy it.. no, seriously, i really do have aspergers which is why my posts may seem a little odd to some of you.

ok, they may seem bloody odd to most of you.. my world exists in a binary frame.

things are or they are not.. i know that in the "real world" things might be or might not be as well as are and are not.
