Gibberings CLXI: The Numerals are Probably Wrong, The Words Within Most Certainly Are

[masaz]

Seems I lost track of Gibberings threads... congrats on kicking the tram though, NE. That stuff truly is the devil to get off of. Makes smack look easy. Nice job, gal

Oh that's good to know, I just got prescribed it for persistent foot pain a week or two ago Admittedly have been using it as advised and haven't touched it since I started on the whole kicking benzos thing but still.

Edit: BBC World Service is playing reggae. I love Radio 4. Always fall asleep to it, got woken up by either sobriety or the national anthem tho

Toss the wanking powder if it arrives!

Vague question here mostly directed at Raas: Do religious types appreciate it when agnostic/atheist types 'join in' when required or do they find it more sort of awkward? I guess if you don't broadcast your belief or lack of or ambiguity toward then it wouldn't really matter, but like I was at a funeral not so long ago and basically had to sort of follow along a bit behind everyone else for everything but the Lord's prayer, which I will never forget til the day I die. Maybe some of it was just funeral experience (I've been to two) but some of them came in and did all this praying and what not, which I didn't do. Like do you look at us praying with you at dinner or at a service and think 'god what an idiot' or? I mean I assume not and I would rather join in than stand there like 'no fuck you I don't believe in this' but...

It's formality isn't it. Sometimes it's courteous to join in, even though you're not actually sincere.

fucking scum trampling across our fields like the own the place i fucking hate fox hunting if i had know i would of been out with the aniseed and baited the fucking place to fuck very angry at the minute

Ahhh FG...Absolutely love your passion for animal rights.

This is what divides my family every fucking year. My sister hunts with one of her horses and insists it's not illegal, my Mum supports her and me and Dad just generally express our disgust whenever it's brought up. No need for it and if there is then shooting the cunts through the head is more humane than chasing them down til they've got nowhere to go. Fuck her for that. Tho given where you're from you probably know this well as I do



Fucking thanks

All fox hunters, fisherman etc... Tell you a load of shit about how they do it for environmental purposes etc... but truth is they know it's wrong and get some feeling of empowerment from that. I see (severe) animal abuse on this planet as a path to hell.

 

[masaz]

Yeah, it is one of the things that I am genuinely against, but then I eat meat so...I guess I do it as ethically as possible but it still causes conflict every so often.

For what it's worth, I'm usually as sincere as I can be for a non-religious person. Confusingly I do still pray when in a seriously bad situation but it's not to anyone or anything in particular.

edit: ok I'm genuinely against quite a lot of bad things but that's the one that causes me the most conflict.

edit: eating meat, not religion.

morning still here and starting to feel a bit of a cunt now after i am leaving thing but i am in a good place at the minute guess its the 40 mg of diclazpam still working its way out of me

[video=youtube_share;UX3QR61l1-g]http://youtu.be/UX3QR61l1-g[/video] something to wake up to

Not preaching to you, but for your information this is a Christian answer to psychedelic drugs.

I have some questions.
1 - DMT is a neurotransmitter already present in our bodies. Does this mean satan had some influence on the design of our bodies ?
2 - Is god against fun ?
3 - If god isn't anti fun is it possible he put DMT plants and mushrooms on earth so we could have fun with a non addictive, physically harmless plant ?
4 - If you take the piss / get greedy with the psychedelics you get a very stern lesson about what a fool you are, could this be evidence of some kind of in built anti greed mechanism put in by the creator ?
5 - The 'lessons learnt' on psychedelics are generally 'we are one, peace n love etc etc', how does this help satan's agenda ?


PS - thanks in advance if you take the time to reply.
My own personal take is.... i'm not sure.
I think i'm an atheist. However IMO the cannabis plant is so perfect it often seems to be nature's ( gods ? ) gift to the poor. Only takes a few seeds and some sun and by autumn you have a nice reward for working your arse off in the fields all summer.
I'm far from convinced in an intelligent design but I can't see why one wouldn't throw us a bone every now n then.
I mean, he took the time to create TB, wasps, and intestinal worms, but it has to be satan thats behind anything that makes our stay here more pleasant ?
I don't get that

just saw this

Now this I can understand ! Yup eating mean ( hell or not ) is evil.
I know that point of view offends, and I don't state it often. But yeah. Animal abuse is only a kick in the arse away from child abuse.
Only friends we have in the universe and we spend our time fucking them up and putting them in death camps. Shame on us

I'm a hypocritical meat eater. If there was a magic button that eradicated meat eating/farming and all that comes with it, I'd happily press it.

 

[Uncle Robert]

There are two foxes that live in our neighbour's overgrown garden, and whenever you go into the bathroom you can see them having a nap. Occasionally they'll get up, have a stretch and walk about , and once there were two other foxes having a wonder around our garden while the two usual foxes were sound asleep next door.

Can't see why anybody would want to hunt them. Especially in such a relentless way.

 

[bummer]

and i'm a failed vegan.
Which actually makes me a much bigger douche than an unrepentant carnivore imo

[swampdragon]

Foxes are brilliant, I usually see one or two when walking home from the bus-stop post-clubbing. And no.. I can't see why anyone would want to hunt anything in such a barbaric way.

NSFW:

 

[Sammy G]

Foxes are amazing, aye.

It's been a long time since I saw one on my way back from a night out, but I recall approaching it with a silly smile on my face and my ex-girlfriend shouting "it's not a dog!", disgusted at my behaviour.

 

[Ceres]

 

[ScotchMist]

Hold hold on, arent you forgetting that foxs eat babies, they do it all the time, I can think of loads of examples...... errrr....hmm.... ok, so maybe it happened once..! But anyway, KILL THE KILLER FOXS...!

Lol, apparently my mate met one on his way home through the park one night and it followed him and then he started banging on about how it was 'just like' some anime he watches and I zoned out.

Never seen a fox IRL. Used to see the odd ferret on my way home when I lived with my parents. Everyone always assumed I was high - which I was - but this was a place where people would walk them like dogs so it's not a huge stretch.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Never seen a fox IRL

Astonishing.

I lived in Eastbourne for a year and we had a garden full of foxes. I'd walk the dog at night and have them jumping out of gateways snarling at us (before they legged it). I now live in the countryside and thanks to some unsocial hours I keep I still see them all the time.

Town foxes are scrawny bastards compared to country foxes.

Fox hunting is for cunts.

Hee, I'd probably be out gathering them up into my coat pockets. (I've tried to walk ours on leads but they have none of it.. they sort of pretend they're melting and then are quite happy to be dragged along on their backs.)

Absolutely of the biggest order..

Morning folks,

I know you guys are talking about fox hunting, morals etc. but I recently started having 3 vegetarian days a week, or there abouts. I actually really enjoy my meat free days but it's not something I could commit to fully & I couldn't be a vegan.

Btw, is there a "What are you eating now" / cookery thread? I'm sure there used to be one but I didn't find one last night... I didn't look very hard though.

I know, it's weird, having lived in the countryside for my entire life up until a few years ago. We had wild mink in the forest at the back of my parents house and peacocks and kingfishers and shit but never seen a fox.

Lol oh god the images, my mate used to keep ferrets, they're so stretchy!

 

[swampdragon]

They really are very stretchy. Also bendy.. the number of times they fall off the sofa onto their heads, bent double in a little puddle of ferret. Amazingly they're always fine. 8(

And yep, Chatty, there's a cooking thread somewhere. I tend to be veggie 3 or 4 days a week too.

!

I'd love to see mink, I know they are round here because some farmer type who regularly stops me for a chat (I wish he wouldn't) is always going on about how the mink have cleaned out his chickens and ducks. Really regularly goes on about it.

I have, however, seen a polecat. And that's rare as fuck apparently.
