Yep, the biblical character that certain Middle Eastern style deists refer to as Jesus, presented as male.

A male who sought the company of other men.

No offspring or sexually significant female acquaintances recorded, so putting two and two together.

A lot of bloke action but no lady action, plus a body seething with hormones and a bagful of jizz.

A very Best Korean type of list there Sunny.

Aren't demographics always 100% entirely Doc?

Though I'm not sure that Trumps Sino-Russian approach to national and global management is going to be popular with a well armed proletariat.

Knowledge is what we know.

So we only know that there is human life on one planet.

Other than that.

It's 21.599999999 recurring, so I guess that FLRW was just rounding up.

Though I'm guessing also that 22 stars just went supernova destroying 72 planets, 3 humanoid civilisations and 14 billion non-humanoid species.

Out of those 14billion species, 2 were intelligent non-humanoid.

One of which escaped and was heading this way.

They can be identified by their peculiar hairstyle, orange skin colour, delicate hands and mushroom like appendages.

Approach with caution.

It was men who generally had the last say on stuff like creation and existence hypotheses...So they chose a man.

Not taking into account, that women give birth and men fuck things up.

GOD was perhaps a hermaphroditic reptile out cruising the universe.

Or whatever.

Though experience informs us that some of our top theists will orientate in any direction, irrespective of gender or age.

Wasn't Jesus gay?

Yep, miles.

Oooooooooooooooo Yes.

Well, the phrase "not that unique" is a contradiction in terms.

Something is either unique or not.

It can't be sort of unique almost but not quite just a little bit marginally similar but not that much so as to make it not quite special enough but sort of different though inconclusively unspectacular  but reasonably extraordinary in an indifferent sort of way type thing almost.

If you've been paying attention to DebateArt, you would know the name Best Korea.

I cycled 2800 miles across the Southern US a few years ago.

100 miles per day approx, with 4 rest days.

Oceanside to Jekyll Island.

I consumed more Gatorade than is good for you.

Slept like a log.

I was thinking the same.

Yep.

Go for a 50 mile bike ride.

Ah, so Stephen and Mrs Stephen were celebrating Sunday and their Grandson losing 3 - 1 at football (soccer).

Logs can float .

But sodden lumber is no good for construction.

What is who celebrating?

I was describing a typical British Sunday.

Laziness is the biggest cause of insomnia.

Tiredness is the best cure.

How did they used to shift lumber?

All the did was replace the Horse with an engine.

Of course if the World population was reduced by several billion, there would be no need to shift lumber.

We just make work for ourselves.

It's not the winning that matters.

It's the pint afterwards.

The Sunday Lunch.

And dozing off, whilst Mrs Stephen does the dishes.

The World is largely made up of reasonably straightforward people, and then there are a few perpetual dorks.

Though history tells us that it doesn't take much to persuade reasonably straightforward people to behave like dorks.

Clever stupid.

Is there any supposed about it?

Sounds like it's already been agreed for you.

I was referring to annexation and the current buzz.

For sure, bloodless coups are preferable.

When an AI takes over it will probably make changes.

Whereas, we have currently evolved to a point, whereby we do what we do, because we did what we did.

My favourite games are.

Naughty games involving protrusions, orifices, fluids and bacteria.

And all manner of accoutrements.

Certainly A tan.

Have a lovely day, though Mr Sun will be hiding for most of it.

He will be out to play next week.

The Sun has got his hat on,

Hip hip hip hooray,

The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play.

Now we'll all be happy,

Hip hip hip hooray,

The Sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play.

Regards.

Zed.

Annexe is currently the buzz word.

An alternative way of saying, bomb the fuck out of unless.

The downside is reciprocal bombing the fuck out of.

Clever stupid as ever.

Will we ever learn.

I doubt it.

Conversely

If ever there were an argument for design and purpose, it would be the clever stupid gene.

Money is a make believe concept, that was once recorded in books and represented using metal discs and bits of decorated paper....But is now largely consigned to the fantasy realm of electronic symbolism, cards and apps. 

All rather tenuous if you think about it. 

Might be prudent to convert some of your electronic money back into shiny bits of metal.

Which, if the shit were to ever hit the technological fan, would certainly appreciate like gold dust.

As for privatising social security....Seems like a contradiction in terms.

Just amounts to paying someone else to do something that someone else was already paid to do.

Because the private sector sure as hell, ain't  going to fund social security with it's own dosh, for nothing.

I expect that eventually an AI will suss things out and flick the off switch.

Hey, Big Boy.

I see that you've dressed for Shila.

Interestingly, we also have "the dogs bollocks", which means the opposite of bollocks.

So if I were to say that you look the dogs bollocks, I would be affording you a huge compliment.

Having a huge compliment is also a euphemism...Though hopefully Shila won't be offended by such a huge compliment.

Such is the joyous flexibility of the English language.

And rigidity aside, the joyous flexibility of such a hugely complimentary euphemism is certainly the dogs bollocks.

Hey Sunny.

If blokes want to chop of their dicks and call themselves Britney, I don't care.

I was just citing another example of human craziness, like making a song and dance about religious ideology.

And  the concept of remote binary bullying is crazy too.

But if the cap fits, Britney will wear it because the cap fitted it's acquired psychological disposition.

And liberal sycophants will always come along for the ride.

In my valid opinion.

Was the title of this topic...Let's talk bollocks for a bit?

For sure. Jesus was just a normal bloke and the Sun is the giver of life.

If one wants to, one can make a song and dance about it.

Some people make a song and dance about man-gods, or women-gods or even animal-gods.

In fact, people do all sorts of crazy stuff.

For example, men sometimes chop their dicks off and call themselves Wendy.

How crazy is that?

Period... Just uncooked black pudding.

Elon is from everywhere, or so it seems...He breeds prolifically...And will be a genius if he can discover the secret of eternal youth.

He's tech savvy and clever, and billionaire material...Whereas I am not...Though I am savvy enough to be able to get by comfortably.

And neither do I know the secret of eternal youth.

What about you Shila?

I've killed  Deb...But only to eat.

I kill less these days...Because I'm older, less inclined and have more disposable income.

I was brought up to be respectful but not soppy.

Mrs Zed is soppier than me.

No need to break legs though Deb.

Breaking legs for fun is just pseudo-masturbation.

Eggs is just naturally prepacked foodstuff, a bit like a tin of beans.

And I ain't a wuss that's scared of hens.

Hot cross buns are tasty, though religiously insignificant in my head. (And in Mrs Zed's head too).

They should put an A for atheists on some and call them hot A buns...Not that I'm bothered.

Though we tend to eat them cold anyway.

I've only ever run over one dog...But around here pheasants are ten a penny, and badgers are dumbass fuckers when it comes to crossing the road.

Over there I suppose it's Emus and Kangaroos...Some big old mutha fucking road kill.

And did you mention nipples Deb?

For sure, Mary's nipples were good and hard when Jesus's dad took her hot buns from behind.

Yum Yum.

Same here.

As with the drill, I choose relative to practicality and necessity.

But personal transport mechanisms are a bigger more expensive consideration...And like me you find it difficult to make the change to the new style equipment.

So my thoughts against, are chiefly about the durability of EV systems and the accessibility and speed of charging systems....And of course, cost.

And I certainly wouldn't consider buying a second hand EV.

I also would never buy a second hand drill driver, but new ones are as cheap as chips anyway.

How does one eat meat accidentally?

Eating meat is also a euphemism.

And pancakes are delicious, with just some lemon and sugar.

And on Thursday I shall have a loaf and five fishes, with a nice salad perhaps...What the other 4999 eat is up to them...Though I expect that Mrs Zed will have the same as me.

No dirty marks on my forehead on a Wednesday...Nor Mrs Zed's.

And at the weekend we will kill the fatted calf, and have it with chips.

Billionaires have their merits...That's how they became billionaires.

You too could become a billionaire...But could you?...Do you have the same merits?

You complain about tax, because you have not become a meritorious billionaire.

I was taught to not worry about what others have and do, but to get on with my own life...This strategy has it's merits too.

Though what does a billionaire have time to do that you don't?...Other than make and spend money.

Just go make more money Shila, and you will be able to spend more on stuff that you probably don't actually need.

Thing is, Planet Earth currently has 8.2 billion human organisms fu*king about without any clue as to why they are fu*king about.

What we do know is that we are the architects of an era of exponential material evolution and change, but seemingly with no cohesive social and environmental strategy.

Are we programmed this way this way for a reason?...Is the question that I continually ask.

So like me sadolite, you were programmed back in the 60's and 70's when the internal combustion engine was King.

But we forget how unreliable it was back then and just remember the good old days .

And I will be honest and say, that new techno gizmos have largely surpassed my ability to assimilate...So I hold back untrustingly from the EV too.

But that's because I'm an aging git, with an aging onboard computer, and not because new disposable techno stuff is necessarily overcomplicated, nor is it more expensive in comparative terms.

It just fu*ks with our heads.

When I was a kid we were still using hand drills and screwdrivers, and then I got a drill that plugged into the mains and now I have one with a rechargeable battery, that both drills and drives.

What on Earth next sadolite?

Such is the ongoing human need to make holes...LOL

Clever stupid.

Did you know, that a narrow passage of water between two larger areas of water is not necessarily straight.

Did you get that?

And interesting how we lived without the internal combustion engine for 2 million years, then suddenly we were dependant upon them.

Same goes for all new gizmos...Such as any electrical gadgets, IT tech, guns and other fighting kit etc.etc.

And old geezers with old ideas, often protest against change...Doesn't prevent it though.

It's a collective adherence to a more or less bizarre deity based creation and existence hypothesis.

Which for sure, is what we refer to as religion.

Inserting the word "true" doesn't make it any more so.

As I suggested, merits are as merits do.

I would further suggest that we reward merit where we see advantage and not necessarily in terms of a broader social benefit.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm not sure that Ayn Rand is a meritocrat.

So Trump and Putin, are they autocrats or meritocrats or both?

What actually constitutes meritoriousness?

Someone who makes a living scavenging rubbish dumps, will have their merits.

Are there good and bad merits?.

So we define merit as being good and worthy...But one might consider someone to be  bad, but that person might be successful and therefore meritorious in their own right.

And of course, in the USA, about 50% thought that Trump was meritorious, and about 50% didn't.

But Trump is the President of the USA.

So should we just conclude that merits are as merits do?

And consign Ayn Rand to the rubbish dump, where she can be meritoriously recycled.

All yours for $99.99.

Just send your banking details to my Nigerian web address and I will debit your account for you.

Very true.

Nope, it's about a new age of sexual realism, juxtaposed with the new age of gender equality.

Wherein the old theo-mysogynistic shackles have been removed from a society.

So, conditioned people do still get hung up on Religious bunkum, though not coveting their neighbours Ox, nor his/her wife's Ass is now more likely to be regarded as over-bunkum.

Making  it OK for either him or her to covet the Filipina Nannies Ass...As it were.

Marriage these days is all about the big knees up...Sign here on the dotted line...Party time.

And coveting must be an old Christian synonym for masturbation.

Of course Doc, some people get more hung up more than others.

Top of the morning to ya.

Inappropriate use of a euphemism.

I'll have to give Darth a shout.

May the force be with you.

And don't forget the "a" in paedophile.

Nope, the letter "a" Shila.

Not the carnal proclivity.

You kids have a one track mind.

Yep a curious bunch are the muthafukas.

They could just as easily make an honest living.

Though as I always say...If there's a niche, someone will always fill it.

Reminds me of Hermit Crabs.

I think that if I was a President, I would legalise all drugs and make them either free or cheaply available over the pharmacy counter , and just leave stupid addicts to self destruct.

I expect that the clever muthafuckas would then fight over the illegal rehabilitation business.

Thanks for blowing my trumpet.

I'm not supple enough these days to blow my own.

Based upon my conditioning, If I attempt to imagine the biblical GOD, my default image is a West Coast rock star in glowing white raiments, who just hangs around looking cool.

I've never seen the movie. 

I've never been an avid Cinema goer.

And since the advent of the internet, I watch very little TV these days.

Neither am I into celebrity culture.

But a persons success and wealth relative to their chosen career is a consequence of human nature and capitalism. So good luck to them.

Firstly, I do not believe anything that I do not know for certain. ( And therefore I do not need to believe).

And I have no clue as to the origins of the Universe or life upon Planet Earth.

And furthermore, neither do you or the lovely Trade.

And I'm guessing that neither did those naive Middle Easterners who started all this now popular religious hypothesising. 

But like you and Trade, I can only speculate upon what actually went down a few thousand years ago.

So an Interventionist Super-Intelligence is a non-believing guess in respect of a GOD scenario, wherein I also guess that said entity would be a tad more logical and practical than the magic bloke as described in biblical mythology.

What I do know is...If there was/is a GOD/ISI, it clearly hasn't hung around to boss me about. Therefore I cannot obey the unobeyable.
