Organ Donor! (See inside for details)

[leo-rcc]

What kind of organ? Pipe, Hammond, Reed?

[Paul the Human]

*laughs!*

Thanks for the welcomes. With this many donated organs we can plan a big shin-dig for Memorial Day, but we're going to need a bigger grill. I have seen the undeniable signs of a couple nut-job theists in the area, too. Great fun! I think we've got the fixin's for one hell of a party.

I have been searching of late for a good non-theist forum community in which to hang my hat. I've found a few, but I am not a good fit in all of them. This one looks like it's a match.

I'm a long-winded fan of brevity and I am working on that. In the interest of my efforts, I will resist the urge to type up a full bio and history and simply say that I am a completely open person. If there is anything you'd like to know. Ask.

I'm interested, what makes you think this one is a match?

I like 'completely open people'... and there is one thing I'd like to know: Outside of illegal activities... how can I earn 100,000 USD+ tomorrow?

I wouldn't donate my kidneys... you can live without one of them for a while, but it is definitely not fun. You need your kidneys...

Welcome to you btw

Well, I've been reading a variety of forums in search of a place to join, as I said. Some of them were populated almost exclusively with Masters Degrees, Ph.D.s, and/or people that actually work in the fields of science and philosophy. Definitely a great place to learn, but not really a place where I can take an active part in the discussions. Others have strictly non-theist memberships and are not much more than 'group think tanks', so to speak. And so on.

I'm looking for a feeling of community with a group of like minded people that I can actually talk to. There are very few of them in my off-line life. After reading through several threads here, I felt that I could have easily been involved in most of those discussions and would enjoy them. The overall feeling of community and the prevalent sense of humor in these forums is right up my alley. Let's just say that I have a good (and altogether irrational) feeling about this place.

It shames me to inform you that the way the system is set up over here, there is no way to make six figures without breaking several laws and/or regulations. That's the American way.

And thanks for the welcome!

P.S. I never use emoticons and I never "lol" (etc.), so I tend to sound much more serious and clinical than I intend. I'm actually quite warm and fuzzy. *laughs*

And I've a good (and I think rational) feeling about you. So +1 rep ^_^ Please stay with us! I beg of you! All I ever have to talk to around these parts is Adrian with his 776+ accounts! Wait... is this also Adrian...? I'm almost alone here with only one person to talk to, who suffers intense multiple personalities syndrome! SO LONELY! SO IN NEED OF COMPANY!

For shame Here I thought the answer was going to make me 100,000 USD+

Heil Hitler!

A warm and fuzzy monkey who calls himself a human and doesn't use emoticons or internet acronyms (which sometimes makes him 'sound' much more serious and clinical than he intends)... I like it! ^_^

Saerules, you make me smile. When I am elected Emperor, I shall spare you your life. Could I trouble you (or anyone reading this) to explain the 'Kudos' and 'Reputation' thing to me? If I am to click on these things, I'd like to understand the why, when, and where.

[fr0d0]

Kudos is your approval of a post for whatever reason you see fit. If you click it once, your kudos appears, click it again, and it disappears. You'll see stats on the front page to see who's kudosing who.. and who has the biggest penis of all time... it's a nice way to find popular posts and give people positive feedback.

No... you can't trouble me to do so, as I do so with pleasure ^_^ And if I'm not clear, I'm (almost, and certainly in this case) always 'open' to questions

http://atheistforums.org/thread-2676.html ( I've given only 40% of the site kudos as of my last calculation... )

As for the reputation system, you will notice a green (or red... or white) number in the top right of a person's posts. This is (at perhaps its simplest definition) the cumulative score of those who like and dislike the person (and have given the person a reputation). A person can only give one reputation per person (Ie: I can give only one rep to Tiberius, only one to Darwinian, only one to Paul the Human, only one (editable) judgement per person

Indeed Though I suggest you disregard any kudos I give They count for 1/4 of another person's kudos ^_<

[Paul the Human]

Thank you. Kudos to both of you for answering my question with such style and grace. You will fit nicely into the Empire.
