I learned something recently. That it doesn’t make sense to bash on people for their religion, even if you don’t believe in it. I have seen that we all interpret the ‘divine’ in different ways, whether or not you believe in it, and though I don’t, I see where we can learn from the idea of our mortality being a test for something greater yet to come.

Such wisdom. . . And a little Chef too! Now, how about getting a job, Shirley? C’mon, leave the basement and produce, little boy! Stop being a nobody, be at least a “something”, Icarus, THEN you can give me advice, little freak boy! 😉
No. I don’t care to, Chip. This world can go to hell, for all I care. I’m 6’4 and 240 pounds in real life, Chip. Nobody calls me boy. Pick another target.
Get help.
Seriously? Resorting to ” I’m a big scary guy? ” So what now, kid, we meet outside mommy’s basement and fight?
How about posting more Black Moses, kiddo? Maybe the theme from Shaft. LOVED that one! You seem a trifle irked, son? What gives? 😉 No money for comic books?
This one usually works also – ” I played football and bench twice my weight.” Throw that in too, Shirley. 😉
There’s a boundary after which you can’t really call others children, boys or girls. It’s called pain
No, it’s called self respect.
You don’t CARE to? Care to what? Leave the cellar, or work? It must be amazing to be able to rely on a support network that feeds, clothes and houses you as you spend your time posting your theories and ideologies to the world while that same world is busy producing, creating the very system in which you sit and mock it. This is your prerogative. So be it. Perhaps when mommy tires of caring for you, the predicted paradigm shift towards a non-monetary lifestyle will have become so firmly entrenched that you will be able to avail yourself of its myriad limitless resources and flourish in the “new age” of enlightenment, kid. Realistically? I doubt it. So, Icarus, good luck in the future as you wend your way through the halls of leisure and sustinence we, the un-enlightened working fools, afford you. There really is a freedom afforded oneself in the admiration of expended effort in the work force, a freedom and also a sense of pride at having produced tangible results that you are, obviously, unaware of, due no doubt to your lazy attitude and inability to offer a viable skill set to the economy. Well, again, don’t worry, someone will always be there to care for you, whether that someone is familial or governmental. Enjoy our efforts, and please, keep the stellar wisdom coming! You are, after all, a legend in your own mind, kid.
And, by the way, empathy and etiquette often dictate that when a human expresses pain at not receiving a birthday wish from a spouse, an appropriate response is ” I’m sorry this happened, Have a wonderful birthday!!”, as opposed to ” Well, you probably brought this on yourself, so examine your actions and see if you can glean the reason for your unhappiness from the results of said examination, because you most likely did this to yourself.”
I am still appalled at your lack of empathy over that. But, you operate at a higher frequency and are a shining portent of the coming era, so I suppose I should follow your example and begin abandoning empathy and compassion.

“Instead of offering the usual blind sympathy, I’m going to ask if you actually did something to deserve this behavior that you’re not telling us about, or are making rationalizations about. People don’t just spite and shun people for no reason. I know someone in my own life who says things like this, but brought it upon themselves, and instead of fessing up and being better, which she resents as efforts of others to ‘tell her what to do’, when in reality people are just trying to get her to show a little effort, and she just revels in her own pity.
I know what you’re thinking “blabla *insert resentment about people trying to make her do things* bla”. Well, in reality, this woman CHOSE to have kids and therefore took on the responsibilities of being an adult, and she is lazy, rude, and selfish. It’s not everyone else in this case, it really is HER.
So, maybe you did something to HIM that he isn’t happy about?”

Seriously, Icarus, this was appropriate? My, upon what a high horse you perch.
And with that, Shirley, I now shut my asshole jackoff mouth and wish you adieu and a pleasant idle existence in mommy’s basement.
You’re not that interesting buddy.
You need to calm down and stop acting like a psycho. I don’t know what your problem is, but you don’t need to take it out on me. Enough with the 10th grade insults, man. You sound like a child. Are you alright? Do you need me to call the cops and send someone to check on you? Because you’re not acting like a rational person right now.
@nobody, you’re definitely the one acting like a psycho here. Chip’s just reacting to the fact that you’re a self-conceited jerk who called him out for no apparent reason except some dumb religious opinion.
Never mind, I read your comments. I honestly thought you were having a breakdown.
I don’t care if I die, Chip. Dunno why you’re preaching to a disabled nihilist who is incapable of getting a job due to his legal and mental situations (LMAO!) about working. Yeah, I’m an invalid because of my brain! I know you don’t think so because according to society mental disorders aren’t real and dopamine and serotonin are just fun words we make up when we pretend to play I-know-something-that-you-don’t-know. The brain is an organ just like every other, and if it doesn’t work, neither can you. Feel good about yourself? So everyone gives up on me, who cares? Then I die. Good. Go fuck yourself, buddy.
I’m not religious, Diem.
Bashing someone for anti-religious comments sounds like a religious opinion to me.
Nope, it’s just called keeping an open mind. I don’t believe in God, but yelling about him not existing isn’t going to change anything. If the religious could be reasoned with, there wouldn’t be any religious people. I don’t take the idea of god literally, but I understand where it comes from. I just don’t believe it. And that’s fine. But he wasn’t even willing to try to understand why people believe in those things. He just blocked out anything
I said. And that’s fine, I’ve been there too, but I don’t get angry about people believing in that kind of thing anymore.
“Go fuck yourself buddy?” You should presume yourself to be so fortunate as to have anything even mildly close to a “buddy”, but please, continue attempting to rationalize your pathetic existence to the other damaged nihilists. You’re becoming repetitious and trite, but it’s what you need, boy. (Very little boy.)
I have plenty of friends. Not trying to rationalize my existence, as I said, I don’t care if I die. You don’t acknowledge any of the points that I make, and continue trying to argue with me. 🙂
Food fight!!
Yeahhh. . . a good one, too!
Tenth grade insults? I must thank you for the compliment, sir. While undoubtedly “sophomoric” in their content, my insults don’t actually achieve a level much beyond . . . your age.
And pick a username and run with it. Practice consistency. Who knows, maybe you can flip burgers somewhere and disappoint Alan. 😉
Need more? I have a-plenty, freak. 😉
Chip, you need help.
I think we all do lol
. . . and you need a job, boy.
No, you need a reality check and to go outside and ride a bike or something. You think you’re grown up sitting behind your screen acting like a jackoff?
. . . says the cellar dweller, who in his superior intellectual prowess and heightened spiritual enlightenment posts a South Park video requesting that his balls be sucked. Wow.
I’d think that in your infinite wisdom, you’d see fit to stop responding to me. . . as I sit behind my screen acting like a jackoff, realizing that at this point you have won, that all who matter see you as the mature intellectual capable of dismantling any opponent with keen logic and finely honed insight, all the result of intense self control and discipline, yet you continually prove yourself susceptible to provocation by one much less adapted to the forthcoming “new age” of exposed charlatans, Shirley. What gives?
uhmm, yes. Much. How about you? Got everything figured out, eh? 😉
I haven’t taken pictures of myself for a while, so I just use old ones because I hate the feeling of being forced to smile and pose for a camera. And I don’t really feel like people who know me now have a right to document what I look like as if we’ve bonded. My brother has always hated that too.
There are only masks on most of the photographs, never people. I liked the ones you sent, though. Seemed true
Yeah, that’s why. There aren’t many pictures of my brother out there, either.
You know, however he thinks, however he behaves, however he is, he’s still your brother.
It’s hard to take real photos. Poses, fake smiles – they’re never real. What if you want just a small thing, only one thing, that is real in this money-centered, fake world?
Sorry. I knew I said I was shutting my insolent “jackoff” mouth. Allow me this final thought:
Do I fancy myself “grown up”? Yes. I support myself and two dependents, solely. At 53 years old, I have maintained consistent employment since age 16, and quite frankly, would enjoy watching someone slap your ignorant little mouth as you spout stupidity that is culled from resources also much less suited to being productive. There is a time and reason to rage against the machine and a time and reason to BE the machine, son, and it’s time to take your big sweaty chocolate balls, man up, and be a something, nobody, if you think you’ve got what it takes. Now, get off your high horse and suck MY balls, BOY.
Now, boy, you may speak, and share with the world more of your inane drivel. If I were you, and thankfully I’m not, I’d consider saving some face and deleting this post.
. . . and, of course, finding employment.
Nobody, you’re always out of line but when drop to new pathetic lows of making posts to attack other members, I think I speak for a ton of people when I say you need to get the fuck off this site right now.
Agreed, 100%. @nobody gtfo
I wasn’t attacking him. He just interpreted it that way. When I made my comment on the other post the other day, he attacked it. I’m just trying to explain my viewpoint, or the way I interpret as a viewpoint of otherss. He’s being hostile, that’s not on me.
I attacked you because you are ignorant and lack boundaries. Hell, kid, only an idiot like you would believe posting a video of Chef singing “Suck my sweaty chocolate balls” might convey discreet messages of theme and wisdom. Wow. You really lack insight.
*hasn’t watched the video and makes assumptions about it while ignoring every point I’ve made to continue arguing with the air*
. . . *head. Air head.* 😉
Wow. I concede point to Shirley. Absolutely correct. I did NOT watch the video, and retract all my comments based on having given up watching South Park around the time I found it, well, just. . . Lacking useful content, of which apparently, in your twisted mind, there is much. Hmmm. I apologize. I spoke in error. I will delve deeply into the video, seeking it’s hidden truths right now. Or perhaps not. I dunno. It just seems so . . . childish to post South Park videos in an attempt to . . . Wait for it. . . convey meaning. Have you seen the Scooby Doo episode where Shaggy learns a valuable lesson about the true nature of the electron by accidentally shocking himself? I read about it on a physics blog. . .strongly suggest it, boy.
I can’t control how other people act, and neither can you.
“I don’t care if they’re made up stories, what the church practices now is compassion, and loving your family. You couldn’t look past my religion and just be my friend. You’ve got a lot of growing up to do buddy.” was the point of the video, NOT ”suck my balls”. Why out of everything in that video, do you choose that to focus on?
And again, I’m not religious, but the people I know that are, aren’t all drooling in caves somewhere because they fail to comprehend what YOU can.
I don’t understand this attitude. I meet something vile and hate filled with an explanation and then you become angry.
I don’t believe it, no. But I do get it.
Good-BYE Chip.
I’m defending myself, IN A HOSTILE WAY, against a loser who fancies himself a self righteous guru of other people’s wisdom. True wisdom, Shirley, defines itself in actions and words. Perhaps I can, yet again, suggest you become a person of action as opposed to a delivery system of other people’s ideologies and paradigms. Perhaps becoming a PERSON is a necessary requisite to the former. Learn when to speak, and when to allow others their opinions and theories, as you expect to be done for you. Not everything needs to be debated, analyzed and dissected to exponential dimensions in an attempt to propagate what YOU believe to be the “truth.”
Do you have even the faintest concept of this principle? I posted a reply to a question, and you took it upon your ignorant self to decry my answer to ANOTHER PERSON’S question. Jeez, I think it needs to be said at your childish level, Shirley – Sometimes it’s best to mind your own fucking business and let others speak. Clear enough, you 6’4″ 240 lb. imagined hulking piece of boy, or need I continue? You should be out spray painting bridges with worthless quotes by Rawls and Ginsberg instead of pretending to have half a clue about life. What life do you live, kid, with all your books and Web pages and mind full of idle theories that do NOTHING to further anything productive? You have brought this upon yourself, Shirley, with your inability to discern when to shut the hell up. Boo yah, boy! Get a job.
Oh. Ok. Bye bye now! 😉
The Defense rests and will FINALLY shut it’s jackoff mouth and go for that bike ride I apparently so desperately need!
Road rage on the information super-highway.
🙂
Kinda fun to watch, but I’m gonna stay in the slow lane.
