		<description>Mustard &amp; Scott,

Captain Mosey was given ten tablets of stone with the &quot;I really wish you didn&#039;ts&quot;. Only he dropped two so we&#039;ll never know what &quot;didn&#039;t&quot; we are afoul of. Or not.

The general theme seems to be, If your ass puckers when someone does it, then turn your back and ignore them. It just ain&#039;t none of your effen business in the first place.</description>

		<description>#130 - MistaBobbolina

&gt;&gt;Hi-Ho-Paddy-OOOOoooo==Why not blame war on 
&gt;&gt;sauerkraut or vodka?????  

As part of my new program, sticking up for Paddy-Rambo, allow me to answer that question.

He doesn&#039;t blame it on sauerkraut or vodka, because those who eat sauerkraut or drink vodka generally do not view those who eat cole slaw or drink rum as morally inferior, intellectually challenged, and dishonest.  At least not to the extent that they&#039;re willing to slaughter 10&#039;s of millions of them.

That&#039;s generally not the case with militant atheist evangelizers, who often view those whose spiritual beliefs differ from their own to be a problem, whose only solution is The Final Solution.

All too often, in the kingdom of the militant atheist evangelizers, life is cheap.  Dirt cheap.</description>

Dang!! You&#039;re right, of course. Why didn&#039;t He start His numbering with zero. Maybe even FSM is not all-perfect.</description>

		<description>#138 - Scottie

&gt;&gt;Funny … I never noticed that FSM switched 
&gt;&gt;from decimal to octal …

He didn&#039;t.  &quot;Eight&quot; is not an octal number.  That numbering scheme only goes up to seven (including zero, that&#039;s eight numbers).  So he&#039;s still decimal.  

All hail the FSM.</description>

		<description>#131, Scott, thanks for the additional Cage Match info.  Correct, anyone can start a topic as long as they are registered.  That&#039;s what makes it fun.

Mr. Fusion, thanks for the gospel of the FSM.  Enlightening!

		<description>Yeah, I prayed that the ultra conservative rabid Christians would do that thing where they vanish and leave all their earthly belongings behind.  I can get behind that. 
   I&#039;m sick of the arrogance.</description>

		<description>#133 Mr. Fusion, those are principles that completely undermine nearly every purpose for which religion was invented.

Excellent principles indeed!</description>

The Eight &quot;I&#039;d Really Rather You Didn&#039;ts&quot;&lt;blockquote&gt;

   1. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don&#039;t believe in me, that&#039;s okay. Really, I&#039;m not that vain. Besides, this isn&#039;t about them so don&#039;t change the subject.

   2. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don&#039;t require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.

   3. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we&#039;re talking about fashion and I&#039;m sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.

   4. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is &quot;go fuck yourself,&quot; unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go on a walk for a change.

   5. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the bastards.

   6. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t build multi-million dollar synagogues / churches / temples / mosques / shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
         1. Ending poverty
         2. Curing diseases
         3. Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable
      I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.

   7. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t go around telling people I talk to you. You&#039;re not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can&#039;t you take a hint?

   8. I&#039;d really rather you didn&#039;t do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubricant/vaseline. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the love of Mike, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it&#039;s a piece of rubber. If I didn&#039;t want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>It&#039;s fun observing rational people trying to have a conversation with irrational ones. It&#039;s like different levels. 

It&#039;s sorta like watching an episode of COPS intervene in a domestic disturbance.</description>
