Marty_d Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 There are counsellors who can help you OK, you just have to take the first step and phone...... Yes but they charge $5 a minute... hence the "damnable expense"...
Old Koreelah Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 There are counsellors who can help you OK, you just have to take the first step and phone...... ...I wonder what the woman on the phone really looks like...
facthunter Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 The pleasure may be close to momentary, but not very., but you can have it more than once. It replaces grooming and keeps people together. It's the way we are made. I trick to cause reproduction perhaps, but it seems to work for most people.. Few are capable of ignoring it and many that try to get screwed up. . Some pay money for it, and some pay for it other ways. Nev
turboplanner Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Yes but they charge $5 a minute... hence the "damnable expense"... You can afford it, what's 80 cents these days!
Marty_d Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks for the laugh Gnu. I especially like how he managed to keep a straight face the whole time.
Marty_d Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 ...I wonder what the woman on the phone really looks like... I saw a documentary on UK phone sex workers a while back. One of them was about 50, largish, and was painting her kitchen while on the phone to a customer. At one point she sloshed the paintbrush around in the pot while holding the phone near it, which I thought showed admirable imagination on her part. Another time she took a call when 4 of her friends were over for a cuppa, they were trying to restrain their giggles as she talked him to a happy ending. One thing's for sure, they're not going to be a 30yo hottie rolling around on satin sheets.
Marty_d Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 You can afford it, what's 80 cents these days! I resemble that remark, I reckon I could almost spend $2.50.

I At one point she sloshed the paintbrush around in the pot while holding the phone near it............. Might have been an analogy!
Bikky Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I worked with a rather volatile bloke once. His wife came into the office one day and asked me what her husband was doing. His office door was shut and he was on the phone. I told her, "I think he's having phone sex". She looked rather startled and asked me why I thought that. I replied, "Well, he said he was ringing Tel$tra but I'm not so sure because he's using the 'F' word more than he usually does".
dutchroll Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Uh huh. Without the Bible most people would always be committing criminal acts, says the guy from Harvard Business School, where we see fine examples of ethics and morals being produced. You simply cannot beat a religious leap of logic, nor a religious dose of hypocrisy.
facthunter Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Commonly called (with some accuracy) BIGOTS. Nev
Marty_d Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 At an incarceration rate of 707 per 100,000 the USA is second highest in the world. In the USA 65% of people think religion is important. Australia has an incarceration rate of 143 per 100,000 (so ranked 108th). In Australia only 32% of people think religion is important. Looks like the more religion, the more crime. Wonder if Mr Harvard Business School has worked that one out before his little youtube embarrassment.
David Isaac Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 To my beloved forumites, The problem as I see it is that religion narrows perspective and in the cases of cults and extreme thinking, distorts and perverses perspective. I happen to believe there is a superior being, a creator but I hate what religion has done to the concept of a creator. That video is so narrow in perspective it is embarrassing. I hate what Christians do when they form their own little cults and belief systems in their ranks and then actively fight each other on points of doctrine, this whole concept has a life of its own with all the associated bigotry and hypocracy and destruction. I call them Christian gangs. But it is not limited to Christians, it exist in Judaism, Islam, Hinduism etc. In extremes cases they will kill each other in defence of their perverted beliefs. A story of human tragedy and stupidity. None of that changes my overall perspective. But then I am not your typical 'believer'. I abhor what religion has done to people and how religious leaders manipulate and control weak souls, it deeply saddens me. We know innately within our inner being (what some call our spirit) what is right and what is wrong, the choice is always ours unless we allow others to inappropriately influence us. Whether you believe that in the 'beginning' there is a creator or there was energy and matter, both beliefs are based on a faith statement. Faith that in the beginning was God or in the beginning was energy and matter. Either thought is perplexing to our little minds no matter how intelligent we think we are. It is what we do with our personal belief and the interaction with others that is far more important in life. We are here for short time and we can contribute or destroy. That ability is in our own hands.
kasper Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Ive always said the English were very good at experimental technique ... Populate a distant land with all your relgious extremist and wait 200yrs to see what develops = USA Populate a distant land with all your criminal class and wait 200yrs to see what develops = Australia Got to love the scientific method ;-)
facthunter Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I believe there is energy /matter out there in abundance, but I'm rapidly losing faith in humans behaving in a decent manner to each other. Most books I know are written by humans and suffer because of it. Nev
turboplanner Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 To my beloved forumites From one of your beloved forumites (We Believers are friendly, but you don't have to lay it on!) I hate what Christians do when they form their own little cults and belief systems in their ranks and then actively fight each other on points of doctrine, this whole concept has a life of its own with all the associated bigotry and hypocracy and destruction. You just have to do a little more study, and in all modesty, on the earlier part of this thread, to get back past the Christian era, and its cults and money spinning antics, rewriting history etc. to find peace. All religions have their hijackers, who go by various names, but "gangs" is a good description. Whether you believe that in the 'beginning' there is a creator or there was energy and matter, both beliefs are based on a faith statement. Faith that in the beginning was God or in the beginning was energy and matter. Either thought is perplexing to our little minds no matter how intelligent we think we are. It is what we do with our personal belief and the interaction with others that is far more important in life. We are here for short time and we can contribute or destroy. That ability is in our own hands. Someone had to make the energy or matter.
facthunter Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Where does the energy and matter to make the maker of energy and matter come from? Nev
turboplanner Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I believe there is energy /matter out there in abundance, but I'm rapidly losing faith in humans behaving in a decent manner to each other. Most books I know are written by humans and suffer because of it. Nev You're an alien FH? Billions of humans live in harmony with each other; that's why TV News channels have to have mobile reporters - they have to travel to the few travel spots each day. I live in a City with 153 different Nationalities, and out of 124,000, about ten make the headlines each year.
turboplanner Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Where does the energy and matter to make the maker of energy and matter come from? Nev Possibly from the energy and matter left over from the last guy who didn't get the recipe right.
Teckair Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Not sure who made who but it was reported on TV that Jesus is living at Murgon here in Qld so Qld really is God's country.
Marty_d Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Who's got the energy to make up the maker, and why does it matter?
turboplanner Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Not sure who made who but it was reported on TV that Jesus is living at Murgon here in Qld so Qld really is God's country. Based on some of the parables I read on this forum from time to time, I think I know who he is. It wouldn't be God's Country, bus Jesus's country, and you'll find plenty of proof of that in Queensland camping grounds where people apparently discover this, based on the amount of times I hear "JESUS CHRIST" when they pitch their tents.
dutchroll Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 To my beloved forumites,Whether you believe that in the 'beginning' there is a creator or there was energy and matter, both beliefs are based on a faith statement. Faith that in the beginning was God or in the beginning was energy and matter. That there had to be energy and matter "in the beginning" is an inescapable physical fact, not a faith statement. Science does not answer the question of how the energy and matter got there in the first place, because it simply doesn't know. This is a fundamental difference between science and religion: When science doesn't know the answer, it states "I just don't know". When religion doesn't know the answer, it makes sh*t up.
