  Burial was at noon a month ago.

  Ungrateful ingrates! >:O

  Rick Fearon is awesome and I want him back. I was a great time for this board - it showed clearly just how plain nuts this board really is. ;P

  100 watt incandescent bulbs banned: What now?

  by WTWizard in

  this is a trend throughout the world, and the united tyranny of stupidity has joined the ranks of countries where you can no longer get a 100 watt incandescent light bulb.

  next year, the 75 watt bulbs go.

  and, in 2016, even the halogen lights that replace them are slated for bans.. where to turn to now?

  WT Wizard,

  Guess it's time to slice your wrists. Life has just become too difficult for you.

  I'm so terribly sorry. :(

  since most of us believed it was right around the corner, how many of you went to any secondary schools or training?

  what do you do now to survive?

  are you working or unemployed?

  Naturally I am kidding on one of the previous statements. I will let the reader decide which one... ;P

  What it takes to become an atheist.

  i was pondering this today during lunch, and to me it seems that it comes down to whether or not you can accept that you will one day be permanantly gone and anyone you have lost in death will never be alive again.

  once a person becomes comfortable with these two ideas, there isn't really any incentive to believe.

  maybe it's an over simplification, but it seems to me that this is the heart of the matter.

  dontplaceliterature,

  I haven't seen any posts by you being rude to believers. It's those that do and have this tit for tat mentality that I question. ;)

  A crusade on an ex-jw board to convert people with faith to atheists? D: I don't buy it, but maybe there is some miscommunication here...

  Did you read my post on how I became atheist? Again, for me I didn't need god anymore. Once I didn't need him I looked at everything objectively. Your experience may vary.
