Title: Reveal something about yourself. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on March 04, 2019, 09:37:32 AM Ok, peopel here think I pick on various Christians faiths like i'm some anti-christian.
Well, I also bust on Islam, i'm not a hypocrite who slams Christianity by wonct slam Islam. Believe me I do. Now this picture came across my news feed today, it's a statue of the Hindi god shiva which is outside he CERN particle collider in Switzerland. (https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/53229649_2549246898480775_5614275434221928448_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.xx&oh=94af4d2451df5a09163be1afa52271a1&oe=5D2537E4) Someone observed that shiva is dancing on the back of the ignorant. I simply said that perhaps instead if dancing on the back of the ignorant shiva could extend one of his numerous hands down and try to educate and uplift the ignorant. So, hey, don't think I pick on any particular religion, i'm an equal opportunity skeptic. Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself. Post by: RCMerchant on March 04, 2019, 10:34:03 AM I think most folks here know you don't believe in anything. Dam. Thats not very revealing.
It's a fantastic statue, whatever it represents. Yeah-you hate Christians, Islam, Hinduism,-f**k all that. Most of these folks are fine. It's fanatics who f**k s**t up. And your a fanatic of your own beliefs. Mellow out, man. Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself.

Or you could see it as I think whenever possible the ignorant should be educated instead of downtrodden, if you wnto se ea positive side of it. Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself.

Are you drunk this early? And if not-WHY in Shiva's name do you misspell even the simplest of words? :question: If you really believed that you would stop screaming at people about how wrong they are. You don't teach by forcing your beliefs down someone's throat. Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself. Post by: indianasmith on March 04, 2019, 06:18:02 PM I have the world's sexiest nostrils.

Post by: Trevor on March 05, 2019, 04:05:44 AM I was abused as a child and as an adolescent: People who know me well (and have children) will quite happily let me keep an eye on those kids as they know I will not harm them nor will I let any harm come to them. In short, the abuse stops with me: it does not go any further than me. My parents wanted to kill my abusers but I told them it was not worth it.
I was born in Rhodesia [now Zimbabwe]. My birthday is Sept 11, unfortunately. I speak two languages fluently and can curse in most languages. :wink: That is me in my profile pic, blocking Daisy Ridley's shot. :wink: Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself.

I usually transform them into a Japanese style potato salad. Not trying to fool anyone because the potatoes pretty much always taste store-bought, but with the added ingredients it is sometimes hard to tell the difference. When people try it and say "not bad" or "pretty good" I know I did a good job at dressing up the taters.
Of course I could cook my own potatoes but I kind of enjoy this little food challenge. Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself. Post by: indianasmith on March 06, 2019, 06:58:13 AM I once, briefly, long ago, held a live Australian Death Adder.

It terrified me. This is when we lived in the Bronx. Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself. Post by: RCMerchant on March 06, 2019, 04:59:18 PM my momma was severely burned when our oven blew up when i was a kid, hence my fear. I had an oven blow up on me! I turned the oven on and was cooking pot pies. At least I thought I was cooking them. My stove pilot went out. Which happens one in a while. But I didn't check to see if it lit before I closed the oven. I went in their 45 minutes later- and my food was cold. So, like a dumb ass, I flic my Bic to see what the problem was- BOOM! I flew across the room! The stove actually jumped off the f**king floor! :buggedout: Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself.

Post by: 316zombie on March 08, 2019, 02:49:07 PM the fire department never did figure out why it blew up, so it was judged as a" gas surge", and we had electric stoves forever after. it's always a struggle for me at work, because the phobia is so bad i have to get someone else to turn it on and put things in and take them out for me. and i constantly check the knobs to make sure the ovens are off... it's weird, i don't have an issue with the gas fryers, grills or burners, just the ovens.
Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself. Post by: RCMerchant on March 08, 2019, 03:06:48 PM You were young when it happened, I reckon. I was 25.
And I was drunk too. My immediate thought was that Laurel and Hardy short where Hardy blows up the oven and he flys across the room. Because that's what happened. Burned my eyebrows and lashes,trimmed the front of my hair and turned my face red! Title: Re: Reveal something about yourself. Post by: Pacman000 on March 08, 2019, 03:25:24 PM :bouncegiggle:
Wish I could karma you for that RC. What's funny in a movie may not be funny in real life. Then again Stan Laurel said slapstick depends more on the characters' reactions than the events themselves.

However, if a drama or a action film or any other genre has scary moments in it - the dream sequence in Still Of The Night :buggedout:, the interrogation with the severed and reconstructed head in Gorky Park :buggedout: or the faceless killer in The Crimson Rivers and others - those scare me.
