    Quote Argue for your limitations,
    and sure enough,
    they're yours.

    Quote It's called a default belief,
    when you agree to rules before you think,
    when you go along, because you're expected to.
    A million of those in a lifetime, unless you're careful.

    Quote You gave your life,
    to become who you are right now.

    Was it worth it?

    ~ The Messiah's Handbook.

    Dogmatic religion any form of mind control actually, has been used, and refined to fantastic effect over thousands of years since the "restart" of Modern civilisation-Sumeria/Sumer according to Official history. to Incite and Exploit emotions like Fear, Guilt,Frustration,Anger, and the feeling of 'Emptiness'. Which has assisted our prison warders, who've encouraged the "masses" to hand over their Responsibilty, and right to think and feel to a Politician,Book, Media presenter, priest, Experts because they feel and are encouraged to perpetuate the Consensus reality, therefore subconcious Belief that We/they don't have the ability or confidence for that matter to establish truth for themselves regardless of any external influences and without fear of being "Crucified" for doing so. You and I have the right,to take control of our minds and therefore of Lives, which is the first step on the road to infinite, Now is a Good time as any to start to make your own decisions.

    Hello Benevolentcrow

    Quote Sad news...

    Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment
    community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
    trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
    Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities
    turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry
    Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and
    Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
    Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man
    who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show
    business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not
    considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked
    schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old
    man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
    Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and
    Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his
    elderly father, Pop Tart.
    The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
    If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the
    occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone
    else who may be having a crumby day and kneads it.

    Sorry could not help myself!!
    Absolutely the funniest thus far - I take my hat off to you sir ...

    Best regards. JP

    'The honest ratepayer and his healthy family have no doubt often mocked at the dome-like forehead of the philosopher, and laughed over the strange perspective of the landscape that lies beneath him. If they really knew who he was, they would tremble.'
    Oscar Wilde, 1890
    W.C.
    The Lion strode through the halls of Hell;
    Across his path grim shadows fell
    Of many a mowing, nameless shape—
    Monsters with dripping jaws agape.
    The darkness shuddered with scream and yell
    When the Lion stalked through the halls of Hell.

    Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

    Money couldn't buy friends, but you got a better class of enemy.

    All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

    A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree.
