what's your worst guilty pleasure?
June 3, 2011 at 3:23 pm
What is it that you enjoy the most that goes against your principles or outlook?
As a republican and a socialist, I am ashamed to say how much I like a gamble, particularly backing horses.
Horseracing is known as " the sport of kings ", hence my guilt regarding monarchy.
It is also capitalist in its operation and popular with Saudi rulers.
It is also considered to be cruel by animal protection activists.
Trouble is, I love the challenge of reading form and selecting the horse I think will win the race. I like the rush of winning some money from the bookmaker enemy. And I love watching the best horses doing their thing.
I'm a hopeless case!

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Hmmm, nothing I do really goes against my principles. I do not pigeon hole myself into any parties, social or political, so I can pretty much do whatever I want and not feel guilty about it.
Disclaimer: I don't want to hurt people or do fucked up things, so if you want to use the above as an excuse to think atheists are immoral assholes, can it.

I live my life with integrity.. I have no guilt.
Im not much into gambling either. I dont want it made illegal, mind you. Its just that it NEVER gave me a rush...I'm indifferent to it.
Drinking games on the other hand are quite fun

Been thinking for the last few hours of what guilty pleasure I have or had done.
Don't think being intimate with old school teachers count.
So I've got nothing.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

The Bratz movie. I saw the trailer before the fifth Harry Potter movie, and I thought: This has to be amazingly terrible. As it turns out, it was. It is like the Sherlock Jr. of unintentional comedy: literally every second in the film is either occupied with something incredibly stupid or leading up to it. And when I say "something incredibly stupid," just a few examples: All Mexicans have live-in mariachi bands, the villain character throwing a second Sweet Sixteen party, girls radically changing their outfits apparently in plain view of everyone, how dressing up like a dinosaur suddenly counts as a clique, and makeovers that make no goddamn sense even in context.

None. I've earned them all.
