Most people I meet usually come to the conclusion I'm a devious cvnt, which is probably why I got no friends. Except these two cats who come visiting all the time. And the Mrs - "God" only knows how she puts up with me! This what you are seeing here is me turning over a new leaf - I am actually trying my best to say what I really think (rather than the BS I've been putting out all my life in order to get dosh and stuff). And look where it's fvcking getting me!!!
I think I would rather be honest with myself...tried being a BS aritst a few times in the past 30-40 years and I always get into trouble with it. Don't know what you are whinging about...the rest of the forum are not dismissing you out of hand..

Did that is why I can say you are in error in your assumptions or have read erroneous material.

Then there's peace, charity, hope, not to mention freedom, suffering, ... Jeez the list is fvcking endless. Science is merely the framework within which all the other stuff takes place.
Love is just a word
