Hypography Confessional

[Tormod]

i think she had the point of view that men are dogs

 

Well, to be frank, pulling a gun on her probably proved her point.

[jungjedi]

this kind of behavior is common among schizophrenics,ive learned.youll probably find preemptive strike in the appendix of many psycology books.i didnt know what else to do but threaten her back.i tried makeing friends,but that just opened me up to interrogation and critisism.

[Jay-qu]

Is that supposed to be an excuse for doing it? I think anyone thats sane could see reason in not pointing a gun at someone..

[pgrmdave]

The smart thing to do would have been to ignore her and simply let it rest.

[jungjedi]

well,im not sane.that is my point to telling this community.it is fortuitous for me that this thread was here so that i could tell its members whats up with me before they find out.i dont think my condition is that bad anymore since they cought my condition through the anger management classes.i contacted a pschiatrist who diagnosed me and gave me pharmacueticals that help me reason better.

so i think thats whats happening.

anyways,i love forums that deal with sceintific research.i was on one that i deeply loved and the people in that community.but,because of my condition at the time.i had to go.so here i am and i am digging this community immensly.so,i just thought ide level with you

[Boerseun]

Well, jungjedi, thanks for the disclosure. If you truly have problems in that department, there are lots of people here with similar issues. But, Hypo isn't a board offering help to individuals. We discuss scientific matters here, dispassionately and objectively. Well, that's the intention, at least. If you contribute to our forums in a constructive manner and follow the rules, you should be fine. If, however, you turn everything here into a personal issue about your condition, then you probably won't last too long. So, follow the rules and play ball, and you'll be fine.

I've never read a single book by Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Dan Dennett, or Christopher Hitchens, although I've read countless online offerings and viewed nearly every debate and youtube I could obtain, and WOULD read their books if my work and school schedules permitted me the time to do so.

 

 

It's time that everyone came out!

Why read Dawkins when you can watch him on TV? Why would I bother reading him?

At the moment he is doing a job on astrology, tarot, cards, faith healing, spiritualism, homoeopathy etc. He says science and reason are in retreat with far more new age books being sold than science books. Blind Freddy could tell you that.

 

I don't know who any of the other people are.

[Moontanman]

I read 800 words a minute but I waste it on Science fiction.

If it wasn't for spell check I wouldn't be able to communicate with normal people.

I like riding motorcycles more than I like scuba diving and I like scuba diving more than anything other than aquariums, fish collecting, fishing, Hmmm..... maybe I don't know what I like after all.

A group of guys who have made quite a name for themselves making incredibly logical and cogent arguments in favor of the enlightenment of atheism. They have been labelled with the humorous term, "The Four Horsemen."

I have given up reading science fiction. It is all so grim and idea-bereft.

 

I have given up confessing and putting personal details on the web.

Already because of some of my environmental passions I have offended some. There is too much info on me out there already. There is enough out there that would stop me from running for public office ( "Question without notice to The Hon Michaelangelica, Minister for Public Executions, You said at Hypography on. . that. . .")

 

It worries me that kids put such intimate personal details and thoughts on Facebook and the kiddie version of this. Who is to know how, and who, this information will be used 10-20 years down the line. Even now the net is an invitation to predators.

Discipuli vitae, ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis. Nunc demittis..... (and sin some more.)

Thanks for the absolution Old Bill.:)

It's good to know I have 'carte blanche' to sin my soxs off.:)

 

I hope it is the absolution of the confessional and not the Requiem Mass.:D

(See, even us ungodly ones they tried to get).
