It's more like 'careful with that banhammer Becca'
*Roger Waters high pitched scream in the background*
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."  RE: Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

If you did we couldn't hear the miscreants SCREAM !!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method. RE: Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

Good point. We'd have to add sound effects in post-production. *cues up a loop of the Wilhelm scream*

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Haha. It's funny. I hear other people say they can only be sure that they are real and not anyone else. But of course, I know it's not true, it's only me that's real and not necessarily anyone else.
Hey... Kind of reflects a religious "discussion" between opposing faiths, huh? Feel free to send me a private message.
