What does the rest of the world think about the United States
where multi-millionares and billionares are jealous of hungry
citizens who are using food stamps? Top the point where the
extremely wealthy pass laws to ensure that people remains hungry?
To the point where 99% of the obscenely wealthy are Christanics
who supposedly believe in gods and ideals where loving each
other and helping each other are supposedly inviolate higher
ideals to follow?

The whole world looks at these fucking insane Christian shit piles
and they equate what they do, what they don't do, what their
ideologies are to the entire country's citizens. These shit piles
make the entire USofA look like a bunch of violently insane
cult savages.

Beats even me, who's only an hour away from the USA, a frequent visitor
who's been asking for the better part of 30 years, �What the fuck is
special about the USA apart from their military budget?�

The USA I've known for the last 30 years is a third-world country.

I vividly remember my Montr�al-Washington train ride. "Ugly", and
"despair" were my thoughts.

That was in 1991......

But I do love Boston, New York and Chicago, the only places I could live
in the USA.

What do you have against the American Southwest? I wouldn't live in
any of the places you've listed: the sunlight is to weak and they all
lack cactus.

When I was in South D during one 4th of July, I immediately understood
why it was possible to buy and shoot off authentic fireworks there
(firecrackers, roman candles, etc)--which that was strictly illegal in
CA. (Can anyone guess why the difference?)

The other thing I noticed was marijuana growing everywhere.

Who the hell wants to live in the sweltering glare among
cacti? Give me the green of the midwest, with deep white

SHUT UP!

The more people talk about the South West, the more people move there
and the more it starts to look like South West Chicago.

I'm one with the favorite bumper sticker for my state.
"Welcome to California, now go home."

I've met a lot of transplants that pined for the "real winters" back home.
Then they went back for a visit during winter and never mentioned it again.

I've never been able to figure out why the mid west is called the mid
west when it isn't ever very far west of east.

And I live near a town where you can tell people to go West on East and

As an outsider I was very confused when I heard I was being sent to the
mid-west and found out actually where it was. I was expecting a couple
or three thousand miles inland

lol I know what you mean. I was over in SF one mid December and while it
wasn't exactly hot it was "put a sweater on" in the evenings, so it was
ok. On the same journey I went to Boston, walked out the airport door
and had to run back inside to get dressed. I'd gone from something like
+20 to -30 in one day

Because the country was much smaller when that name got started and it
really was the midwest.

It was just "the west" when the country was young. As new
territories were opened up (i.e., stolen from their former
owners) further toward the sunset, what was west became the
middle west.

For myself, I find the naming habits of housing development
contractors to be a joke: "Cedar Glenn" has no cedars nor
even any trees, and thus has no glen. "Pine Ridge" has zero
pines and is situated near no drop that would justify its
"ridge" moniker. "Crystal Lake Village" was built on the
grounds of an old corn farm and has but one small
artificial pond near the entrance sign. And "Mountain View
Homes" is a thousand miles from any mountain, and half the
homes face the loading dock of the new WalMart.

Housing developments are usually build on former farmland. Trees get
in the way of farmers so they are sold for lumber or firewood early
on. The people who move into those homes in 100 years will be able to
enjoy the shade and beauty of trees planted by the present owners.

Back in '87, I lived in an apartment building called 'Capital View' in
Des Moines, Iowa. The apartments on my side of the building were more
appropriately dubbed 'Alley View'.

"Those weren't real believers. They just claimed to be believers as some
sort of excuse."

This is rather like the No True Scotsman fallacy.

What makes a real believer? There are so many One True Religions it's
hard to tell. Look at Christianity: there are many competing groups, all
convinced that they are the only true Christians. Sometimes they even
fight and kill each other. How is an atheist supposed to decide who's a
real Christian and who isn't, when even the major Christian churches
like the Catholic Church and the Church of England can't decide amongst
themselves?

In the end, most atheists take a pragmatic view, and decide that anyone
who calls himself a Christian, and uses Christian belief or dogma to
justify his actions, should be considered a Christian. Maybe some of
those Christians are just perverting Christian teaching for their own
ends--but surely if the Bible can be so readily used to support
un-Christian acts it can't be much of a moral code? If the Bible is the
word of God, why couldn't he have made it less easy to misinterpret? And
how do you know that your beliefs aren't a perversion of what your God
intended?

If there is no single unambiguous interpretation of the Bible, then why
should an atheist take one interpretation over another just on your
say-so? Sorry, but if someone claims that he believes in Jesus and that
he murdered others because Jesus and the Bible told him to do so, we
must call him a Christian.

The doctor is a woman and I do not know her preferences, so her spouse
is undefiled by me. I have stenosis of the carotids: she shall be
hacking the right one open and cleaning out the accumulated crap.
Sewing it back together is the tricky part, but she has small hands
and is Chinese and so can make tiny stitches. Once I recover from
that, the procedure is repeated on the left, and I shall be a
relatively new man from the clavicles up. Expect fewer posts from me
on 19-20 September.

Would you like me to lend you my DVD copy of "Sweeney Todd, Deomn
Barber of Fleet Street" to calm your nerves before the operation?

Had you considered doing a before-and-after IQ test, to see if
the improved flow of oxygen and nutrients will have any effect on
your abilities?

Nah. This would be parallel to my advance directive (which I faxed to her
this morning) that in the case of vegetative state, just put me in a corner
and let me go.
"That won't happen," she insisted.
"Oh, probably not," I replied, " but if there is an 'oops!' moment in
surgery, I don't want to know about it."

Atheism...

Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not
rely solely upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather
than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts
science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we
respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for
their own sake.

If she really and literally told you "that won't happen", I would
worry. Seriously. All surgery has risks -- people die every
year in the dentist's chair, fer chrissakes -- and to deny that
is simply irresponsible.

Hell doesn't exist therefore you can only avoid hell.

I'm confident that there won't be any oops moments; what struck
me was the comment as you reported it. That statement, right
there, is a malpractice lawsuit, cut and dried.

I must admit I have a soft spot for Zeus. _Much_ more interesting than the

You only like Zeus because he went after any piece of skirt, while Yahweh
only had that one young girl, which he impregnated without giving her a
decent fuck. What a pussy! Calls himself a god?

There are at least as many gods as there are believers.

You say that as though it were a bad thing, and it is simply not true.
Being a god, if he went after any piece of skirt, he would not have
ignored so many millions of lonely women who might well have
appreciated some attention. Since the embrace of a god is always
fruitful, that would have resulted in millions of demigods competing
for the attentions of ladies world-wide, utterly displacing human
males from the gene pool and resulting in a general improvement of the
species that we do not see in evidence today.

Calls himself omnipotent and cannot even cure his own ejaculatio
praecox!

A bad thing? Actually that was one of his best features!

It would be in evidence if Zeus were real. ;)

Gods have to move at the speed of light in this matter to leave
pregnant virgins behind: diddled before they know it, healed before
their first orgasm (some months before, I suspect).

I think you missed the negation in Barry's statement.

Reworded, Barry's comment would be along the lines of, "No
matter what you do, you can't end up in hell" -- the
implied reason being that hell doesn't exist, so there's no
way to end up there.
