On the escape into fantasy

That’s simply a tautology? Again you’d be better served by demonstrating something I’ve said is wrong with reason and debate if you think that to be the case, ad hominem merely suggests you have no rational or evidenced objection to what has been said.

I wouldn’t bet on that, though what relevance it has here isn’t clear. I can tell you prima facie it is a legal principle, and of course all one need do is simply Google it anyway.

Sheldon, you believe in appearances when you are not of any substance.

More pointless ad hominem. Is this really how you want to proceed? Don’t you realise how ironic that claim is, given you are resorting repeatedly to petty name calling, rather than offering anything of substance in response?

Thoughtcrime is a particularly Catholic thing to worry about. If you’re not Catholic, Sheldon, you should be.

Thoughtcrime sounds like bullshit to me, and a particularly innocuous bs at that. I hate to break this to you, but I am impervious to petty insult, I had just hoped you might learn your lesson and offer something of value approaching debate. It seems not, and again this is a shame, as debate can teach us a great deal, petty name calling is something anyone can master.

Poor Sheldon. I just don’t know how his self-esteem is going to survive such an onslaught of witty put downs. If it was me, I would be in my room hugging my banana pillow and sucking on a cookie.

For your information, Sheldon, George Orwell’s 1984 is an anticlerical masterpiece. But then, you sound like a cleric to me, so subtlety is probably beyond you.

Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine ℟. Et lux perpetua luceat ei: ℣.

Do you speak English, you Latin-speaking monkey?

It is, well that just goes to show how wrong you can be, I thought it was a terrifying comment on totalitarianism.

Then cleric must be yet another word that doesn’t mean what you think it does.

It’s almost as if you’re picking words arbitrarily, then inserting them randomly into sentences. Anyway it’s to bed for me, it’s been emotional…

Is your bed, Sheldon, sanitary enough for you though?

Tread lightly, @carusmm.

I’m finished with him now, CyberLN, as far as I’m concerned, he has a God complex.

Uh, sorry to break it to you Carusoe, but he IS God. He is Louis Illuminato, president of the district and “head” of the church, He is the “church-head”.

Edit: ( :notes: Oh blinding light)

He’s a man, skriten, like Jesus was reported to be. I once wrote two jokes about Jesus, I’ll see if you get them, no-one else found them funny but me.

Jesus loved himself. haha
I’d die for a man like Jesus. haha

It’s just after Easter, therefore behold the man that is I - irreligious.

Well. not just like Jesus was reported to be. There is actually some evidence of Sheldon’s existence, although the nature of his actual existence may vary somewhat from the perceived perspective projected herein…(Full disclosure; I am not a mythicist)
Now, humor is a funny thing…

Sheldon is also more moral than Jesus. He has never beaten people with a whip or upturned their place of business. Now he has occasionally called people ‘fool.’ In that Sheldon and Jesus are exactly alike. However; as far as I know Sheldon is not as Bigoted as Jesus. Sheldon never murdered a pig. He never spit in the face of a blind person. He has never cursed a tree or caused it to die. When he was God, he never murdered babies and then killed his own son so that he could change all the rules and not kill babies any more. He didn’t create a lava pit in his basement to toss non-believers in. Frankly, I’m beginning to really think this Sheldon guy is much more worshipable than the Jesus character of the Bible.

skriten, you wrote that “humor is a funny thing” and a funny thing happened to me on the way to the forum. I found a dead pigeon that was perhaps hit by a car because it is lying on a street corner and felt sorry for it but not as sorry as to touch it. Here’s a poem about the incident:

a lone pigeon dead
alongside the road - feeling
sore and sorry myself

Hmm…you say a funny thing happened. So was it funny that you found a dead pigeon? Or was the death of the pigeon funny? Or the manner in which it died? Or your reticence at touching it?
I find it interesting that you have identified an exact parameter of your sorrow.
