    I remember last year, when my sisters and I went to visit Dad in South Carolina, and while he was driving us around Myrtle Beach we were having a conversation* about whatever, when he started getting into politics. I wasn't really paying attention, until he started literally screaming at us in the car, something along the lines of "YOU BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING!? GARBLE GARBLE GARBLE GARBLE!"


    *one sided talk where Dad talks about shit no one wants to listen to

    they of course don't know that this happening would break practically every single rule of evolution and genetics.

    The moment you talk about evolution and someone who is not a scientist and not currently engaged in research says "I believe that..." is the moment I stop the conversation because it is heading nowhere.

    You can not discuss against believes,it devolves into a pit fight you can't win,dragging on forever.

    A scientist however will try to prove his believes and get evidence to back them.
    So I'm not saying it's wrong to believe in something or listen to people who believe in things.
    It just depends on WHO you are listening to.

    But the phoenix is a creature depicted in heretic books like Harry Hertical Potter, so it has no meaning in context with the BOOK OF BOOKS.

    I'm of course talking about Lord of the Rings.

    at least harry potter has some believability to it
    they are simply referencing demons that have come up to torture us

    a lot more believable than coming from bloody monkeys

    evolution isn't understood by a lot of the people who have boners for it, though, so it's understandable that people who don't believe it don't know what it's about

    like i had a big argument with my dad because he was adamant that evolution always creates the best solution (thus we have five fingers because it's the optimum solution) whereas i insisted that evolution usually just keeps what it knows (we have five fingers because that's the first working solution that appeared)

    I've never seen the twilight give birth to a princess!!!

    Go play that game and remember: you are defying god's creation by playing fantasy games with heretical content.

    And Bongi, I'm pretty sure in the far future humans will have 6 fingers because future game consoles demand it, what with all their buttons.

    hangover meals are the best thing

    when you're feeling shitty with a hangover

    the first square meal you eat is so astonishingly good

    the enjoyment i derive from any given activity i partake in while suffering from a hangover is generally cut significantly by the fact that my head is splitting, my body begs for a mercy killing and i am puking everywhere

    I don't generally puke from a hangover. If I drink too much, I usually puke not long after said drinking takes place, no more than a few hours. If I survive till morning without puking I generally am fine.

    Though I've been getting killer headaches from my last few hangovers. But Tequila was involved, so yeah, that might explain a bit.

    i don't often get hangovers but when i do they tend to be the type where i can't possibly fathom doing anything but laying in bed and hiding from light and sound for as long as possible

    I don't get hungover off booze often, but the comedown off pills can be brutal at times.

    Keep me from eating the entire day and then some.

    I haven't been hungover in a couple of years. That's probably because my last hangover came as a result of drinking too much red wine.

    It was possibly the worst hangover ever. Death seemed like a good choice.

    I don't really get hangovers either, thanks to my mighty German Catholic liver. I've puked a couple of times after actually drinking too much (for science) but I've never had anything the morning after except a mild headache that basically goes away after breakfast.
