I will not kill myself.

[Deja Q]

* You may take my job.
* You may take my livelihood.
* You may take the tools I need to further myself.
* You may take my dignity.
* You may prevent me from working low wage jobs thanks to those vile personality profiling tests.
* You may prevent me from responding with a lawsuit.

But I will not do myself in.

Why?

Because that is what you want me to do.

I may be rotting in a gutter in a year from now, but I will not give you the satisfaction of my death. Not now. Not ever. I've persevered through things I wish you had to endure during childhood. So I can endure what's to come.

And I pray what you've done unto me happens to you twice as harsh. That is the tenet of Christianity: Do unto others as you've have them do unto you. You did unto me, therefore it should happen to you accordingly too. (that's not just Christianity, that's karma. So don't expect me to do a thing. Lying in a gutter, what could I do? I need to nothing, for a higher power is already taking care of you insipid lot.)

1. And right you are.

The truly courageous have nothing but never give up.

2. However, If you are ever near to rotting in a gutter,

we have a spare room. :hi:

3. Un momento, Morrissey.... canyou tell us how your parrot is?

[Deja Q]

4. Condition unknown. He's eating some food, but it's hard to say...

[henslee]

5. Eating's good. What kind of parrot is he? How old? And is he hand tame?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. Are you a Hindu?

[Deja Q]

7. Nope...

I am spiritual, and I believe Jesus Christ did die for us (though I now often ask WHY he bothered at all since His own followers in power are quite the antithesis to His teachings), but I do not fall into the trappings of one specific religion.

The spirital are those who've been through hell. The Religious are those destined to end up there.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. That's quite an axiom.

And I'm not being sarcastic. I think you have an interesting take. :thumbsup:

Peace, my friend.

9. A religious man goes to church and thinks of fishing. A spiritual

man goes fishing and thinks about God.

heard this morning over coffee between Morning Worship and Sunday School class.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. That sounds about right to me.....

What do you think?


:shrug:

:hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

21. I liked it, myself. nt

17. WooHoo! I can dig that! n/t

11. As cat stevens sang

oh am leapping on hopping on a moon shadow
moon shadow moon shadow

leaping on a hopping on a moon shadow
moon shadow moon shadow

And if I ever loose my hands
lose my plough, loose my land
And if I ever loose my hands
I wont have to work no more

And if I ever loose my eyes
and all the colours do run dry
and if i ever loose my eyes
I wont have to cry no more

Chorous
And if I ever loose my legs
I wont crawl I wont beg
and if I ever loose my legs
I wont have to walk no more

And if I ever loose my mouth
loose my teeth north and south
and if I ever loose my mouth
I wont have to talk no more

Chorus
It didn't take long to find me
guided by the faithful light
And are you going stay thru the night?

Chorus repeat and fade.

I hear you hypnotoad. Keep punching brother that's all we got left.

12. Success is the best revenge. Short of that, just remaining as a thorn in

your enemies' side is well worth it.

14. Damn. Pity I missed this one.

I would love to have replied... to whatever it was that had been said.

[Bouncy Ball]

15. Glad it's gone. It was vile.

[Deja Q]

16. Yipes. From a confirmed freeper or a long-time DUer?

[Bouncy Ball]

18. I didn't recognize the name at all. Can't even remember it now.

But then I haven't been around in a while. Didn't seem to be a long-timer.

[Deja Q]

19. Not that it matters. I suspect the person would be banned regardless.

Though I recall a situation a long time ago where a long-timer unscrupulously attacked and stalked me and, despite the rules, remains here today. (that's why I asked, but it's nothing I'm going to get my undies into a knot about...)

20. Brother...

...I know how you feel. I've been on the recieving end of the personality tests, the lack of respect. If you ever need a friendly ear, you can alway count on me. :hug:
