Do you want your children to believe what you tell them ?
Then why tell them lies about a Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny ?
What is wrong with the truth?
If you lie to your children its your own fault if they don't listen to you when they are older.

Whenever abortion is brought up, Liberals say that the fetus is just a clump of cells all the way untill it is delivered. At the same time conservatives say it is a baby from the moment of conception. Who is right?

Also, If there are no stages in between then why does it take nine months to be born?

Is there anyone that thinks "outside the box" of their favorite political party and believes that there is a point where the fetus has devoloped into a human before birth? If so, at what point?

Seriously, this is an important question to me because I want to be getting laid in the afterlife.

What I don't want is to spend my entire life being nice and then get to heaven only to find out that it's populated by flap-titted old boots and that all the fit babes who like getting some c**k are partying it up with in hell.

I mean, if hell's full of partying chicks I might aswell start knocking the back end out of everything that moves right now!

Whaddya think?

I began rejecting some delusionally influenced lines of thinking which had been characteristic of my orientation. One aspect of this is that rationality of thought imposes a limit on a person's concept of his relation to the cosmos. For example, a non-Zoroastrian could think of Zarathustra as simply a madman who led millions of naive followers to adopt a cult of ritual fire worship. But without his "madness" Zarathustra would necessarily have been only another of the millions or billions of human individuals who have lived and then been forgotten. It seemed desirable more for personal and social reasons than academic ones to accept the higher-paying instructorship at M.I.T. The first break led to a curious result about the embeddability being realizable in surprisingly low-dimensional ambient spaces provided that one would accept that the embedding would have only limited smoothness. And later, the problem was solved in terms of embeddings with a more proper degree of smoothness.

Do they not understand why they are calling us this. It seems they just call us it because they think it is an insult. Whereas noone really knows why. I know for fact that when they call us pommies, it doesn't offend me. Because noone knows why they do it. Well i do now. But does anyone else?

The night she died, i felt her kiss on my forehead, and thought i should call her and tell her in the morning. Well, she passed away right about the same time i felt her kiss.
Sometimes i feel her perfume, too. Has this happened to any of you? What do you think?

Oldham, Burnley and Bradford are in a state of flux and a little too complicated for the simplifying minds of most journalists, politicians and traditional "community leaders", all of whom are as responsible as the evil racist extremists for the chaos we now find in these areas. I am referring both to internal and external chaos, and the ways in which both affect the brown and white inhabitants who are too readily aroused.

Many of the young Muslim men do not know who they are. Abused as "Pakis" all their lives, their parents and others have driven them to embrace a Pakistani identity that is a negation of their Britishness. Many in the older generation tell me that the youngsters are "too British, too much full of rights ... Bloody fools ... In Pakistan the police would kill them on sight."

If you talk to white locals, the same confusions about identity and self-esteem emerge. They hate it that their Brontë-land has become a Balti-land, even though most of them have never even watched a televised version of Jane Eyre and could not survive a week without a curry.

Any (reasonable & within TOS) comments?
