EVERYONE is fucking crazy. EVERYONE.

[Tyler Durden]

Crazy is a sliding scale bell curve. It has 0% at one end, and 100% at the other. Some of us are a lot closer to one end then the other.

But we are ALL crazy.

Some of us are crazy enough to believe that a "supreme being" benificent enough to give us flowers, forests, puppies and kittens wants us to

...HANG young girls who get raped,
...SHOOT abortion providers,
...NOT EAT certain perfectly good food because it's "UNCLEAN,"
...REFUSE to lift a finger or eat because it's a certain day or time of day,
...KILL in the name of "GOD,"

...practice indifference, hoard goods, deny help or medicine, wish for the end of the world, hope for the eternal torture of others, deny the "personhood" of others...

You see my point here?

It doesn't shock me anymore that the world is nuts. I just wish for the sake of our children and all of the other living things that we would WAKE THE FUCK UP, SWALLOW THE THORAZINE, DO WHATEVER WE HAVE TO TO STOP THE FUCKING MADNESS...

...but we won't. So I'm just going to sit out the last few minutes here at work, then drive home and have a beer and a bump by the fire.

1. We are human.

Only human.

2. "Insanity is a sane response

to an insane world."

[annabanana]

3. jeez.. and it's only Thursday

Take tomorrow off honey..
;-)

[Skidmore]

6. Cripe...

all day today I've been on the wrong day. If you hadn't said anything, I would have stayed home tomorrow.

Some weeks are just longer than others.

[sui generis]

9. Thank god it's almost February

January has been the longest month . . . evaH!!!!

:P

[Skidmore]

12. No kidding, I was in full Friday mode today. All day.

[TomPainesBones]

4. Anyone who isn't crazy in this fucked up world

must have something wrong with them.

;-)

[Katherine Brengle]

5. It feels really good to let it all out...

And I agree with you. It's a world gone mad, and has been forever...

[malaise]

7. Athiests are pretty sane n/t

[dave29]

it's alot easier than

taking in the enormity of the Universe around us, for sure.

[sui generis]

8. right there with you Tyler old chap

the solution is to make sure our kids understand the difference between believing in the ideas of Aesops Fables rather than the fables themselves.

[Tyler Durden]

24. I just wish they'd stick to Aesop.

Can't remember any of those advocating Crusades or Holy War.

WHAT a FUCKING NON-SEQUITER: HOLY WAR.

[Ksec]

10. Time to step away from the politics

When you starts seeing the realities of this world its time to take a nice vacation in Maui or the Carribean.

I only wish I had the money to do that and get away from this repressive winter weather.

[underpants]

11. By GOd I think you are right

pray for us

13. "This would be the best of all possible worlds....

if there were no religion in it."

[Atman]

14. I'm cookoo for Cocoa Puffs

Does that count?

[breakfastofchampions]

15. Some crazy doesn't matter, some does

If someone wants to eat kosher, or dip their baby in water or face Mecca five times a day I don't really care. Doesn't matter. It's when people want to inflict their crazy on me that I will fight back.

[Vexatious Ape]

16. Religion

Our friend religion seems to be wrecking havoc all over the planet--bad memes--very bad. Beer works better than god and at least beers real--and goes great with Buffalo wings.

17. One of these things is not like the other.

Well, two of them, actually.

What's wrong with choosing what you want to eat and what you don't? As long as you are not destroying people who do choose to eat it.

And I'll have you know,in terms of refusing to lift a finger, that at the very least, all Jewish prohibitions against work on the Sabbath are waived to save a life.

[Tyler Durden]

23. Actually referring to interview.

Don't remember the program.

A strict Muslim DIED during Ramadan as he had been in an accident with severe injuries, and would not take any nourishment. (Anecdotal from his physician)

As I said. Crazy.

[Just Me]

18. Interesting. I was having similar thoughts earlier today.

I wondered, "what the hell is normal these days"? :shrug: Deception, death, exploitation, betrayal, abuse, violence, heartache, anger.

Then, I walked outside. It's quiet out there. The trees are sleeping. The river is flowing, birds chirping, squirrels running.

There is still a LOT of beauty in this world. There is still a LOT of Love, too.

[Hubert Flottz]

19. WHO WOULD JESUS BULLSHIT?

Bush is a Jayzuz man!

[DanCa]

20. I am not crazy I am sick

Crazy is when you don't know the difference of right or wrong. Sick is when you just don't care.

[butterfly77]

21. I see I'm not the only one who feels this way about this nutty world...

where up is down and wrong is right.Where everyone acts like something is wrong with me because I disagree about how things are going in this society and others.

[Zenlitened]

22. It's pretty mind-boggling, isn't it? Some days I just want to...

... run through the streets shouting, "Don't you see??!! Don't you see what's happening here??!!"



But then they'd call me the crazy one. :D

[butterfly77]

32. Exactly! sometimes I wonder if ...

we have been invaded over the years with aliens. You've heard the stories about people being taken on spaceships. I'm beginning to believe it may be true looking and listening to some of the news stories and looking at the congress.

[Wheres the Outrage]

25. I'm not Schizophrenic

:silly: And neither am I!!!!

[annabanana]

28. welcome to DU

and... duck, (because there are some here who don't look with benign eyes on jokes about schizophrenia)
:hide:


But stick around anyway and it'll blow over.. and you'll be glad you've come!

[The2ndWheel]

26. Agreed

Civilization/Humanity is a total freak show. Now about those credit card companies...

[htuttle]

27. Quick! I need a few thousand tons of high-grade pot and an active volcano!

I think I figured out a way to make everyone on Earth chill the fuck out for a few hours!

[annabanana]

29. sounds like a plan!

:woohoo:

33. sound like you are in a moral dilemma

Something troubling you? Remember the mantra: Bush is Evil. Just keep saying it, and clear your mind. I feel better already.........

[Buns_of_Fire]

34. I know what you mean. Some days, I'm just too tired...

to wake up in the morning and chew off my restraining straps.
