Gowing up in VA I am used to the UVA-VA TECH Rivalry. I am a Michigan Wolverines fan and when they play the Ohio State BUckeyes it is always an excellent go for broke rivalary.

Onthewayout makes some good points. Don't beat yourself up. That is the worst thing you can do. You already lost a good portion of your life being humiliated and beat up emotionally by the cult. Uncle or not, there is not a damn thing you can do to change even one iota of anything that has happened in the past. Don't allow all the what if's to crowd out all the good and progressive thoughts of now or going forward. It took me a LONG time to realize this myself, so I know it is not easy to do. Heres to you and making a speedy recovery from this loss. Cheers.

The Zeitgeist Movement
by losthobbit injust wondering if anyone here is a supporter of the zeitgeist movement?
it's not a religion, and it's not zeitgeist: the movie.
it's a group of people who want to eliminate the world's biggest problems by removing their root cause.

I just know that this group or whatever it is, spams the hell out of Toronto with their rhetorical pasted posters all over the public spaces. (one of my BIGGESt peeves,ever ) That in itself makes me discount the group or idea entirely.

I guess I have incredible stamina and willpower. I smoked near 2 packs a day after leaving the borg. Then one day I just said the hell with it. No cravings or anything. I will have the odd smoke every now and again if I am out drinking with friends though. I to was/am a body builder and that was one of my great motivators to kick it. (although now, I picked up homebrewing and that does nothing but ham to te ol waistline )Also, my kids were a great motivation to kick the ol habit. I wish you good luck. Like others have offered, I wil help in any way I can. Cheers.

Facebook-Jehovah's Witnesses
by Lunatic Faith inso, i have been mysteriously added to a facebook page for jw's.
i didn't join and it is supposedly a closed group.

I, to was added mysteriously to those groups. I milked it for all it was worth before being kicked out of said groups. However, that is also one reason I ditched faceook and terminated my account. I kept getting tagged added, and other things that I had NO clue I was part of, nor did I wish to be part of. I know you can adjust security settings to prevent that, but I just decided it was not worth the security and privacy riskfor staying there, if complete strangers were allowed to do those things.

Stop and consider God
by StopTheTears inis there really a god?
is there really a divine creator or did the universe around us just "evolve?
" what an incredible thought to even imagine that there could be a supernatural being so powerful as to create a universe.

Since you theists seem to need a more simple form of talking to, because for some reason simple logic, actual proofs, and common sense eludes you, I present the following dumbed down infographic:

Well not to long ago my sister and brother were out. My other sister was in but wavering. Now all 3 of them have gotten scared back in by my parents, from what I can gather. So much so, my 2 sisters are pioneers and my brother in law (who was a pot smoking skateboarding wordly guy when him and my sister met) is now a ministerial servant. They are all 30 or under when they went back.

I guess they had to do something to distract the people passing through, from seeing how crappy that town actually is.

FOOD PRICES!!! All these freaking speculation fueled price increases are getting out of hand. How, can we as a country (Canada) who PRODUCE a shit tonne of oil and sell it off, still be paying "market" pricing for oil? Makes zero sense. To boot, these speculators artifically drive up the prices. Now we just had a huge price increase here at the pumps overnight. Now it is at $1.40 per litre. ($5.29 gallon) Now, that we have Hapless Harper back in power, it will only get worse. I am at the point now, where I buy just raw ingredents and make most what I can at home. It has literally come to the breaking point for a lot of people. Fuel prices makes everything more expensive. However, most humans are just right out stupid. They continue paying these prices and do not change any habits, so there is no incentive for oil companies not to fleece them for every penny they can. Until a lot of people change their way of living, this gouging will continue, all the while, these corps. will be turning record profit after record profit. I used to have a car. I used to live in the suburbs. I used to be at the mercy of driving everyday, but I was flat out FORCED to change my habits because I just could not afford to live that way anymore. Now I live in the downtown core. I walk most places I can and then I am at the mercy of public transit or taxis. That said though, I am no longer paying almost $1k a month on owning an automobile. However, I am still getting raped at the grocers because of the cost of fuel. (rant over)
