alt.atheism's profane culture is offensive to the public |
Forums that cultivate profanity breed murderers, and not independent
thinkers.
The regulars of this forum should not exercise their intellect to encourage
violent language and violent expressions.
["You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,
and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that
anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again,
anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But
anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.]
Matthew 5:21-22
God Bless You,

Quitcher sniffin'. It's cooling down here; today it's only

Yikes!
Of course, we got a real soaker of a thunderstorm last
night, so the humidity more than makes up for it....
Oh dear. Guess I'll quit my bitchin'. It's only going to
be in the low 90s here
Ah, yes. Low 90's. 'Round here, that's know as 8:00 a.m. or
so.
and I'll be spending the day in a sis-in-law's pool.
This would be the theist ones with the kid being brainwashed?
You betcha. Can't wait to show off my new black nail polish.
They don't call me "Evil Aunt Robyn" for nuthin' ;)
Doing your part to confuse and confound. I like!
Ed Zachery :)
I met him once, I think. Tall short gal, redhaired baldy, perfect
athletic trim with a huge beer belly? A real nice *****, as I
recall.
...I suppose it might be a bit much to teach the poor kid the
couplet to the Rede?
My nephew? With his speech impediment, I can barely understand
what he's saying as it is.
Hey, this could be a *good* thing. He's got the perfect cover for
saying sensible things in the company of insensible people. And,
even if his sanity doesn't survive his ``education,'' nobody'll
ever be able to understand the ``Truth'' he speaks, anyway!
Well, at least they're good for *something*.
Indeed. That and usually everyone brings beer.
Well, that would certainly go a long way to forgiving an entire
Host of sins. Unless it's Bud Lite or something else a horse
would be equally embarrassed to eliminate....
Oh, it's actually worse than that. I'm actually not supposed to
have any alcohol at all other than the occasion glass of red
wine on the weekend as I'm dieting to get my triglyceride level
(as well as some poundage) down. However, as I'm not a saint, I
can only drink...........................Michelob Ultra Lite!
gggnnnngggggaaaaaacccckkkkkpppptttttthhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrppppppt
Blech, why bother, right?
I'm sure I wouldn't....
I had a Smithwicks the only night when I was out with some
friends and it was SUCH a treat. Oh well.
All things in moderation--except for the pleasure you take from
your indulgences.
Must admit, I've never had the pleasure of drinking a
Smithwicks. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it.
Have a good soak for me.
Heck, you can't even take a cold shower here. Tapwater is
already almost lukewarm....
Oh dear, that is awful. Do you live in Arizona?
Gee...how'd you guess?
Tempe, to be precise. If you take off from Sky Harbor pointing
to the East, a couple seconds after you see the big antenna
that looks like a Mexican hat, you might let your gaze wander
over my humble abode.
Ah, I was in Phoenix in March. Pretty cool place, but don't
care much for the scenery and the heat would utterly destroy me.
March is definitely a good time to be here. Pleasant weather,
everything in bloom.
The urban scenery is awful, yes, but once you get out into the
desert it can be quite breathtaking. If I ever find that roundtuit
I lost, I'll be putting up a gallery of my photography, including
a good amount just from parks within biking distance of the
apartment.
Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't dearly miss the redwoods
and the specific ocean....

Poor kid should have been getting speech therapy starting at age two. He's
already had two kids ask him if he was retarded. Frankly, if I didn't know
him, between his behavior and speech, I would think the same.

Sorry to hear. There's really a lot of wonderful, peaceful beauty
out there. Not a lot of shade, to be sure, and the light's only
pleasant around dawn and dusk, but there's nothing quite like
coming across this spiky green thing with a purple and white and
yellow flower half as big as it is. And when the ocotillo bloom,
it's like Christmas in June--huge red and green wands exploding
from the ground. Watch a hawk turn lazy circles in the sky. Step
on a twig, and the jackrabbit the hawk was watching dashes out
from nowhere to the next bush. Giggle as a bunch of quail chicks
scamper after their mom across the trail. There's a spot in Sedona
where the hummingbirds gather by the dozens, including almost
every species you'll find on the continent....
Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't dearly miss the
redwoods and the specific ocean....
Exactly :)
True, if I had to pick one over the other, the northwest would
have to get my vote. But I'd still miss the desert...just not the
summers.

Well, his parents could have gotten free speech therapy provided by the
state starting at age two. His mom's attitude was "Well, I called them once
and no one ever got back to me. The school will just have to take care of
it".
It'll probably about another year and a half before he sounds normal.

wouldn't he be a bit young for that, and why would he be asking

Translation: "Aunt Robyn. Can I have an ice pop".
My usual response "Why are you asking me? You have to ask your mother. I
can't give you permission for that'.
BTW, he eats about a dozen ice pops a day as well as a ton of candy. He
might speak horribly, but he doesn't shut up. His mom gives him this junk
just to shut him up and get her out of her hair for five minutes. And he
hits her when he doesn't get his way. He tried to hit me once. I highly
doubt he'll ever think of doing that again (and no, I didn't lay a hand on
him - I didn't have to)
Ack, sorry for the rant. I'll be hanging out over there tomorrow and as I
can't drink, I find my tolerance level has gone down the tubes :P

How awful! How could any mother take such a cavalier attitude
towards her own child? It's not like he's a car that the mechanic
will fix once the grinding sound gets too bad.

Now that's just criminal. She might as well be feeding him
crack--the health effects can be almost as bad. Do we really need
to place bets on whether he'll need insulin before he graduates
high school?
And he hits her when he doesn't get his way. He tried to hit me
once. I highly doubt he'll ever think of doing that again (and

Nobody with an intellectual capacity greater than that of the
average teenager should need to resort to violence. If you
can't make a child feel miserable for trying to make you feel
miserable--establishing a sense of empathy, which is far more
powerful than a sense of fear--then you're simply not trying.
Which, sadly, too few people do. If nothing else, they seem to
like the power kick of making a kid fear them. Sick *and* worng.
Ack, sorry for the rant. I'll be hanging out over there
tomorrow and as I can't drink, I find my tolerance level has

No worries. I don't know that tolerance is appropriate...but I
somehow doubt that INtolerance would be much help. Nope, I don't
envy you your position.

Her husband has her beaten down. At the time, she was the breadwinner in
the family while her husband stayed home with the kid. It's a loooong
story, but the bottom line is that she was just too lazy to bother doing
anything about it because she knew the school would provide speech therapy.
However, the damage has been done and it will take some time to correct it.

Sadly, you're probably right. He's got a MAJOR sweet tooth. Being "Evil
Aunt Robyn", I've told him right to his face that he eats too much candy and
his teeth are going to rot out of his head. He has to start his day by
eating a Starburst. He eats a lot of McDonalds food as well. Thank
goodness my kid doesn't care for sweets. She doesn't even like kids'
cereal. Plain Cheerios or nothing for her.

That'd be because sugar is an acquired taste...and, in sufficient

between daughter and nephew. Hell, just weaning the kid to fresh
fruit would be a *major* step in the right direction...but it'll

Is there a correlation between intelligence and indpendent thought

At least he does also like fresh fruit, but if he had a choice between that
and candy, you can imagine which one he'd go for.
Is there a correlation between intelligence and indpendent thought

I must agree. I love my nephew's parents dearly, but both of them aren't
smart, to put it mildly. My nephew's father dropped out of school in the
8th grade and is functionally illiterate.

That one thing they were saying when we were in Arizona in March, that this
was the lushest scenery some of them had ever seen. It was beautiful in its
own way, but I'd take the mountains of the Adirondacks any day.
Sadly...all that riot of vegetation just turns to kindling. It's

LOL! Thank you, George Carlin ;)
See? That's the great thing about being an atheist. We get to
worship the sun, and our priests give kick-***** sermons!
"New Nabisco Tits!" "Bet you can't eat just one!" :)
Now *there's* a bet I'd love to lose!

Amusingly, independent thoughts led most of us to atheism, and the
number one murderer in history is, as described in your bible, "god"
itself. Go figure.
The regulars of this forum should not exercise their intellect to encourage
violent language and violent expressions.
This is an unmoderated Usenet group. It's not a bad idea to have a tough
skin and be ready to explain your ideas.
["You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,
and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that
anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again,
anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But
anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.]
Matthew 5:21-22

Define "profanity."
Is "merde" profane? How about "scopata?"
How about limiting to English? Is "odd's bodkins" profane? Is "bloody"
profane? How about "shag?" Is that profane?
Tell me. How do you define "profanity?"

You should not exercise your intellect and encourage flaming and other
violent expressions.

I am very interested in your theory and would like to know more. Do you
have the stats on which newsgroups produced the most murder
convictions? I need to know for a science project.
Thanks!
