We're with you in spirit.. and besides, if one happened over there, it may spark one here too.

God knows we could all do with one. :]

I thought the question read "Does anyone know how I set my friends on fire.. I was going to suggest therapy.. lol

"The word worship originally meant to love"

The word worship was originally workship... they dropped the 'k'.


Search for and watch "Secrets of the Sacred Ark" on the 'tube. ;)

Where did you get these criteria for getting into heaven, O.P.?


There seems to be a lot more to it than that to me.

Someone who's a member here encouraged me to post this; thank you, bro.

It's weird.. more 'technical' than anything else I've ever written.. almost robotic in fact. Oh well, here goes..

Chemical Reactions

Physical attraction, and intimate interaction,
could all be in the mind, or maybe just a distraction.
How do you even measure such subjective a notion,
when each time you try, you're limited by emotion.

You never know if someone's gonna fit your bill;
make you crazy with desire; or even love-sick or fulfilled.

A "strange attraction" at first can often grow and grow,
when you're nose-to-nose; cheek-on-cheek and toe-to-toe.
A girl I once thought was plain, gave me quite a surprise,
The attraction rose tenfold when I looked in her eyes.

We never can tell if there'll be "anything there",
'til we get "up close"; feel her skin; smell her hair,

So intimate attraction, and physical interaction,
Could all be in the mind, or a kind of self-coercion,
Whether you reject it or decide to face it,
You have nothing to lose if you choose to embrace it,
Try to "know" it's cause and explore the reasoning,
Variety as they say, is life's spicy seasoning.

So at first, what we think of as just physical appeal,
has more to do with chemistry and how two people feel,
"The brain's the greatest sex organ" a Sage once said,
And that's not part of your body, it's inside your head

Sorry- not interested. ;]

We in the Western world, have become lazy and spoiled..

I recently got invited to a market research meeting in my area, the reasons for which are too convoluted to go into here [I live in Scotland] but I told the guy who conducted it, that none of the parties style of government was very different from the other parties.

"Then what would you suggest?" he asked.

"A revolution" I said.. "It never did the French any harm"

Don't quote me on this but here are a few 'facts' for prevention of and treatment of colds/flu.

First; don't eat a lot of sugar, as this weakens the immune system

Second; get as much sun as you can, or your vitamin D levels will deplete.

Third; [and this one is slightly questionable, plus I haven't tried it]. Once you already have a cold, put some drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear canal for a few minutes and it's alleged to cure cold/flu.

I'm not a fan of name-dropping! :]

I have some friends who are really talented poets and artists, and have also written some poetry and done some drawings myself. I'm more poet than artist though.

I'm also a big fan of creative ideas, poetry in motion, if you will.

One man/woman's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

I gave up racing years ago..

hardens the arteries.

I don't see how you arrive at the word "Iraqis", sounds like a Freudian slip to me, but oh well.

Saddam was an Iraqi, yes, not all 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' [as viewed by Bushco] are.

Care to elaborate on that?

Bush is worse.. at least more people actually knew what Hitler was about.

Al-Quaeda is a CIA / Mi6 construct.


Know your history, people.

I don't want a pimped profile.. been there done that, doesn't work.. unless you want email addresses from gorgeous Russians.

I won't settle for anyone who isn't interested in my brain first and foremost.. everything else is immaterial.

The world isn't going to end, but you can ready yourself for some huge changes sometime between now and 2012.

A shift in spirituality is coming that will change the world for the better but it will be a struggle, as people have to reject everything they took as truth up until now.. which side are you on?

Which will you choose?

That's my point!


The bailout solves nothing.. economics 101.

Well, they completely let you down by letting the bailout happen, so I'd say yes, you should.

It would have worked better if they'd got the actor who 'did' the game to do the film too.
