About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Yes read more books.
The nose ring thing is just weird to me, especially that particular piercing and nose ring. I have no problem with people getting piercings or tattoos or whatever they want to do but some of the piercings just look strange and that's one of them.
Too bad about the trolls - I laughed at this story about one.
The image is perfect.

Mary K: It's appropriate advice from Satan -- bringer of the gift of knowledge in the garden of Eden, and all that.
Piercings always remind me of primitives sticking bones through their noses. The acceptance of them is a kind of sinking back toward barbarism.
Anon: That's pretty much the only kind of troll I could put up with.

Do you have the same problem with earrings?
Had to copy the billionaires comic book add - it is too funny.
Tiffany: I don't really like them, but they're generally not as disfiguring (or noticeable). Still, they always make me think of how they could rip through and injure the person if they got grabbed or caught on something. Kind of squicky.
Lady M: It's pretty funny. Whoever made it has been paying attention to the news.
Quitters are Winners? Why does the forfeit always go into the win column of the team that shows up?
The image speaks for itself and is clear about what it's referring to.
Lots of good stuff! Yes, definitely read more books, especially those that fanatics want to ban. And religion in politics! No... NEVER EVER. Do we never learn?
The lesson about keeping religion out of politics was fresh in the minds of the Founders when they wrote the Constitution, but it seems necessary to re-learn it every generation.
Books, of course, can help us keep the lessons of history in mind.
