Re: Believing stuff for the benefits. Yeah, I've heard this philosophy and to an extent it's not total crap (IMHO) just mostly crap. Perhaps I'm no different in believing what I believe for the benefits. In my case I believe that the pursuit of truth and reason coincide with the pursuit of...

Ah, well kids are another matter altogether. I wonder though if polyamory is potentially a very good thing for child development. There are obvious concerns but I think the more we develop socially and individually, the more the pro's will swell and the con's shrivel up and fizzle out. Perhaps...

4-5 month sunny season!? OK, we're lucky if we get 4-5 consecutive days of sun in a year! :D Yeah, I've lived and worked alongside British 'white trash'. They tend to be more racist/religious/homophobic and everything else that comes as a result of social neglect. My old boss told me once that...

Unicorns huh? Well quite often things need to progress at a rate relative to other things (IMHO) and I think this is one of those situations. Society as a whole needs to pick up where feminism seems to have trailed off (at least in the western world) and ensure that power inbalances don't allow...

My partner is on minimum wage and I don't earn a whole lot more so what we can afford is pretty limited. If we're lucky we might get a good deal but generally what's going for what we can afford looks like the last person to live there didn't live anywhere else. One of the main issues is that...

You've really gotta go some if you want to offend me. Dishonesty and arrogance are the biggest dealbreakers for me, and those traits I imagine to be as alien to you as honesty and humility are to the Vatican. Re: Drizzle; I'm not sure why one would opt for drizzle but I do think that wherever...

PS. I had to google Franklin Veaux. So what are these theories? :)

Hahaha! You? Hateful!? I can honestly say you seem to be one of the most patient and amicable people I've ever come across. If anything, that is your flaw. Although I see value in talking to people who seem unlikely to benefit from debate, I don't think it's generally worth the time and effort...

My ears are burning :D I have no inclination to respond to messages by hateful people. I am however, mildly interested to know what led Dirtclustit to the conclusion that I have multiple profiles. I rarely make time for this one. Oh well. How are things? It's been a while.

I was called a racist the other day because I have a problem with Catholisism. Go figure. I find it particularly upsetting that religious or not, most people don't seem to give a shit about anything and the non-religious seem to be among the worst (at least on the face of it). I'm not supposed...

I don't think the question of whether religion should be preached in schools or whether church and state should be separate is complex. I fear we Brits as with most things will follow the US trend in piety and conservatism. There are very few British born people at my work. Mostly they're...

...oh yeah and I should probably post the link to the thing I'm talking about huh? :D http://www.richarddawkins.net/news_articles/2013/6/13/are-good-news-clubs-good-for-our-children-youtube

Hello mate! I saw this (actually I've not seen all of it yet) and thought of you. I know this is Evangelicals not LDS but same difference. Having said that I don't know if LDS are quite this mental. Anyway, hope you're well and happy as a sane man can be.

In and Out ...someone already did Gone in 60 Seconds :D

Hey Dormouse! Good to see other UK polys on here and that I have as many as 2 friends now! (Hi Kevin). It's shocking how fringe polyamory seems to be (and spell check has just underlined the word in red, indicating it as a non-word as it has with the English version of the word 'colour' below)...

Reason leads us to care and to shed egocentric mindsets that cause or exacerbate jealousy, shame, pride, hate, fear, greed and mistrust. Reason can even cleanse us of our superstitions if we'd only choose to be open and honest with ourselves. How else can we be open and honest with others? I...

Someone mentioned Star Wars - why shouldn't two consenting adults get it on without getting hassle? What guy hasn't entertained the thought of bedding twins?

Re: Believing god exists. I'm a live and let live kinda guy. If it doesn't effect anyone detrimentally I'd say there's not even an argument but it is detrimental isn't it? Especially for those who influence others (especially young children) into believing the same. If it isn't logical, it isn't...
