Somebody give that man a longer timeslot! Just when the conversation starts getting interesting - "that's all we have time for..."

I needed help with those pesky armholes
I've never been called that before...

But more importantly - PIXIES woooooooo!!!!!
I won't see you there - I'll be there, but I'll be looking at the stage...
Have to drive thru the night to Wellywood after the Pixies to attend a funeral on Saturday morning. Not missing the show though!

Jeremy Andrew - ur, why? You've lost me.
There is a continuum of sexual orientations among us human apes: from omnisexual to asexual: asexuality is a late-discovered but now well-documented orientation.We thought that obvious supporters would be from another minority
orientation - homosexual people. Not so. They have been rather hostile.There is a spectrum of religious orientations in us apes: from animist to pantheistic to monotheistic to atheist. Atheism is a relatively modern development - early atheist had a tendancy to get burned at the stake.
I'm just saying that atheists don't have much expectation of support from the Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientologists or Southern Baptists, even though they are all minorities compared to the Catholics, Anglicans and Muslims.
Might well be a faulty analogy, but the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. (I know using the word enemy is taking things a bit far in general).

Jeremy - That's the debate from the Old, not New Testies.
True, the Old is all "eye for an eye" whereas the New is more "love everyone - but not yourself!"
I'll expect input from some of the masters here on PAS. -
You might expect some support there, but it sounds a bit like atheists looking for support from the muslim minority against the christian majority.

Where's Jonathan Swift when you need him?
”I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...”

I can see I'll be walking the dog down to the video shop regularly.
And abusing my bandwidth cap - legally mostly - its amazing how many episodes of Pinky And The Brain are on YouTube. -
I've often wondered (to the obvious scorn and banalization of the family) whether money shots are poking fun at the 'withdrawal method'.
I've often wondered why the withdrawal method is encouraged by the Catholic church, while Onanism (ie masturbation) is anathema.
Especially when the book itself says "But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother." Genesis 38:8-10
He weren't wanking.
