So does the U.S. constitution. It's a nice idea, but patently false.
People are as free as they allow themselves to be, barring
circumstance.

Yes, you keep saying that.

So, like if a guy has a broken leg, I should just talk to him
about god
or some shit like that?
And he'll, like, get better n'shit? Whoooa...

I am pretty fucking happy.
I'm livin' the good life.
And I'm
*bragging* about it.
Gets on your nerves, doesn't it?

You so crazy.
You believe this shit, don't you?. I notice it hasn't any typos - who'd
you plagiarize it from?

Basic cosmology, chum.
There is nothing that will outlast the
heat-death of the universe.

You've discovered Pascal's Wager, you clever little boy. Don't go way,
we *all* want a turn beating you bloody with the clue-by-four.
If *you* are wrong, and the god you should be worshipping, is, say
Odin,
then you are going to be in serious shit when you die. Whereas, *I* at
least would have a logical excuse.

That makes sense.
There's not much in the way of brain tissue in one's
heart - it would make it really hard to think.
This is an acceptable explanation as to why you are such a prat.

I did. The only
ignorant trailer trash woman I was ever involved with
just wouldn't shut up, so I dumped her. I think she ended up marrying
some stupid git of a fundy named Stevie. They deserve each other - she
was an awful lay.

She only lets you have $20.00 a week, huh? That's rough, that is.

Now you people may think this is a bunch of crap,
That's what *usually* comes out of one's ass, and you did say
you've got
your heart shoved up there...

Guess what?
You are *still* a slave.
The worst part is that you're a willing one.
The second worst part is that you won't shut the fuck up.

I did. After I got done retching, I stopped.
