Only if they share the 72 virgins with the rest of us.

while it is true that my stomach would explode if i ate meat, i will just have to train myself to eat it again. i cannot think of a reason why it is fair to have my child malnutritioned. i would rather be sick for a few weeks than have my child have medical problems because their muscles and organs didn't develop correctly. So, let me get this straight... you are currently malnourished? There's more than one way to get protein and iron into your body than with meat, you know.

Technically, Tylenol 3 is heroin. Sorta.

Actually, we'll take some painkillers and watch a lava lamp for a few hours.

I'm sorry, Meg, but when it comes down to the church of scientology and high-strength painkillers, there's just no competition.

Should also mention: Oshawa: First to die in the event of a nuclear meltdown.

They have their assistants do all the legwork for them.

I only mention hardcore Christians because my aunts and uncles that live East of the Centre of the Universe are quite uppity with their beliefs. One of them thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old. I got into a debate with him last night about the subject. The man has no concept of basic science. Tried to tell me that radiocarbon dating was ineffective because water running along rocks would somehow interfere with "all those neutrons bouncing around." He works in the nuclear power plant, by the way.

Golf is a thinking man's game. And by that, I mean it's played by corporate executives on their 2 1/2 hour lunch breaks.

Isn't it prescription-only, though? EDIT: You bastard, it's not Tylenol 3, but Tylenol 1, 222, and their in-store generic brand. At least as far as I can tell. I'm pretty sure I had a prescription for my post-op painkillers.

How the hell do you plan to eat meat when your body probably isn't capable of digesting it anymore? Don't get me wrong, though, Catholocism isn't the (only) reason I'm bitter. When it comes to this subject, it wasn't Catholics, but atheists who really disgusted me. People who try to raise their kids according to any kind of doctrine piss me off. When people try to drill into their kids, from birth, that God doesn't exist in the name of "reason" or "enlightenment", they become no better than people who do the opposite in the name of "morality" or "righteousness". One person I remember communicating with on a message board was raising her kid a vegan, because she was one of those crunchy-treehugger-hippy types who ate only "organic" foods but drove a car that ran on premium gasoline. Go figure. What really pissed me off was how holier-than-thou she was about raising her daughter vegan. That kid isn't going to be able to make her own dietary choices when she's an adult, all becauser her mom was so self-assured that what she was doing was the ultimate form of reason, righteousness and enlightenment. I saw more and more of this type of stuff going on, and I simply couldn't believe that people who had been raised as Catholics or Baptists and went through considerable struggles overcoming some of the more severe dogmas of their religions were essentially doing the same thing to their kids, except from a different angle. They all failed to grasp their hypocrisy.

Or even family pressure. Coming from a Catholic background, there would probably be a huge falling out if I didn't have my kids baptized and put into a Catholic school.

Perhaps I was being slightly hyperbolic. But if (some?) people didn't include political beliefs in their ways of raising children, why is it that there are people who will go above and beyond what is considered "normal" by brainwashing their kids into certain belief systems? Parents will out-and-out lie to their kids about the realities of life so that they can trick the kids into living the way they want the kids to live. Some people are worse, some people are better.

If there is going to be Tylenol 3 there, count me in. P.S. Where do you get your supply of that shit?

Was he 110 years old?

Okay. You bring the rubbers.

Oshawa: 1. Pickup trucks 2. Hardcore Christians 3. "Downtown" Need I say more?

See, that worries me. It reinforces the idea in my head that people only have kids as an extension of their own political beliefs. They want to create their perfect little version of what a human being should be. See, that worries me. It reinforces the idea in my head that people are all retarded, and think that their kid is going to be the CEO of a company if all they do is spoil them their whole life. See, that worries me. It reinforces the idea in my head that you're an annoying little son of a bitch who can't so much as understand the posts he tries to pseudo-criticize. My point was that parents try and raise their kids in one of two ways: 1) They way they wish their parents had raised them, or 2) As a way to make a political statement. You'll notice that type #1 neatly fits into type #2. The second way can be any type of statement you want. Raising your kids in a certain religion, or on certain dietary restrictions, what have you. You thought I was endorsing parent type #1. I'm not. I don't want kids and I don't understand the rationale behind having children. I'm trying to say that parent type #2 scares me because it seems like one of the main reasons people (not just Lauren) want to have kids is so that they can try (and fail at) creating their own little version of what they think a perfect human being should be.

It turns out I may not be going to prom after all. The girl who asked me out to prom has now decided to bring a guest, which has bounced me from the table. God fucking damn.

Speak for yourself.

All I have to say is WWJD. He would hit that like an insubordinate wife.

You live in Oshawa. There's nowhere to walk to.

Kyle, I think I speak for everyone when I say, "What the fuck made you do that?"
