A queef is a demon that comes out of a woman's vagina when she has had pre marital sex. It's a way for nature to warn the man that he is sleeping with a woman who is impure.

Is that how exorcisms are performed these days?

Damn, I hate pussy demons.



On topic of the thread, I don't think government should be run by scientists. Scientists can be assholes too. I know a few scientists from the University of Dundee, they are pricks. Being a scientist doesn't say much about the person. We do need less career politicians though.

I can see why I blocked you. You say things like this with nothing to convince me of this. You expect me to just take "scientists make bad politicians" without any reason. You're a pseud.

I would take such an apparition as a warning of FAR more than just a nearby woman might be promiscuous.

I know, right?

He has me blocked too lol. Oh well, his loss. He's missing out on my insightful contribution to this thread.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I say it is worth a shot.  We already see what happens when you have a government run by total fucking shitheads.

Scientists?

Let the real computer nerds run the country. They'd be too busy playing games and shouting at each other in Klingon to mess anything up.
