I used to just love boobies.

But now I like legs and bellybutton too and actually hold them as more important then boobies because boobies can be put there aftermarket if there is any lacking thereof.

Legs and bellybutton cannot.

The death penalty
 
For several reasons I was for it, and the idea of killing people who deserve it does not bother me.


What bothers me is how it can be abused and how there is no going back if further evidence is devoloped. Not to mention the cost of all the apeals.

Oddly, it was not untell I read the abuses durring the trail for the Malmody massacre, (spelling, trail for German officers who shot US troops as they advanced) the trail was a farce and men died based on paper testomony with no chance for the defense to cross examine.  Thats wrong.


Another would be the War in Iraq, I was for in the begining, but now I just think we are going to be paying for the mistake for years and years. (I hope I am wrong here though)

I once considered myself a Christian.

...nope... scratch that. I went through all the motions, but I always felt guilty because I didn't truly believe.

Coriolis force myths.

I used to believe the stuff about water draining backwards when you cross the equator.  Believed it with every ounce of my being because I had been taught it, and I had seen pictures of storms affected by Coriolis, etc.  The SIMPSONS even had an episode dependant on it!

But it's not true.

I used to believe what my Government told me- when they said we had to defend ourselves and our way of life by waging a war halfway around the world I believed that and helped my Government try to do so. That was 35 years ago.



Now when my Government tells me we have to defend ourselves and our way of life by waging a war halfway around the world I call bull****- I don't give a rat's arse about Iraqis any more than I gave a rat's arse about the VNs.

When I was a young man I hade racist tendencies although not 100% full blown racist as I knew in my heart it was wrong I had not yet matured to the point to look inside myself yet to learn what I could do to change my way of thinkng and acting.

Although it is a continuing process I will work on it the rest of my life to become a better man to myslef and to those whom I share this world with.

And thru this journey of self discovery I have learned that ALL people are beautiful and offer many gifts to us all.

All we have to do is put down the sheild of hate and those gifts will better all of us.

I used to believe in the basic goodness of people.

I have since seen that that is not the case in alot of people.  In fact, money and greed have become such a driving factor in most peoples lives that they have long since gone beyond the levels of common decency.

Depressing when you think about it.

You can watch Love Boat re-runs on a variety of levels.

You could almost do the same with a sentence like this.

File this one upstairs, cuz these don't come around often.

Ha Ha! This guy is Sig gold! That's gotta be Sig material!       Yeah, I guess Stock (even OEM?) boobies are preferred by all! :rofl

BTW: Why exactly did he have a bunch of "Support your local Gay Carpenters Union" stickers anyways?! Hmmm? :D  

In response to the question though:  
-I used to think I was in denial about many things... uhhh, no I didn't.
-I used to be against the death penalty; then I realized it does something no other punishment can... 100% of the time; it prevents reoffending!

I used to believe all the propaganda about the russions and the "commie" threat.

I have since come to believe they are decent people and not different from ourselves.



edit: This does not have anything to do with goverment only the people. However on the govt subject both the Us and the soveit govts. practiced some really insane crap

I used to think an historical non-divine Jesus existed now I have severe doubts.

Everything written (gospels or secular) about Jesus is hearsay after his death. No contemporary writings exist.

He was mobbed by throngs of people, the Roman local rulers knew of him, the Jewish priesthood was annoyed by him and not a trace of this exists ?
Records of trials of petty thiefs exist but not Jesus ?

All the myths about him already existed.
There's half a dozen people who had done one or more of the myths already: virgin birth, ressurection, walking on water, meeting wise men, divide bread infinitely ...

When I was a kid, I thought that my parents were perfect.

When I was a teenager, I thought I was.

Now, I believe that NOBODY is perfect.


I'll probably be wrong about that too.....  :rolleyes:

Post by: spitfiremkv on January 18, 2005, 02:51:04 PM
yep, you're wrong.
I'm perfect! :D



I used to not question people's motives.  Then I started doing that. Then I realized again I don't need to. Everybody acts a certain way because it is in their best interest to do so.  It's survival instinct, pure and simple.
