Two questions arise vis a vis the crucial socks with sandals debate:

Would Jesus have been taken srsly if he had worn socks with his sandals?

What is it with that sock on the stairs? Just the one, all on its own. It lies there for days taunting you. Where the fuck is the other one? How did it get there? Why will nobody move it? Grrr!

[snip] everything.

Listen whatthe...?. put the fundy response manual down and listen. Don't give me the standard responses because I'm talking to YOU.

The groove your mind is stuck in is limited and self-limiting. The good news is that just because your mind is in that groove, it doesn't have to stay there. Don't you want more out of life than a prison composed of the bars of what other people have laid on you?

You can be so much more than that....and outside the walls of your prison is a world of possibility and discovery and when you start walking down that path You CAN Get YOUR Life Back.

I hope you take the first few steps.

Hi David (Backpacker) & welcome to the melee. It's not so bad when you've dipped your toes in is it? We are a friendly and forgiving bunch for the most part.

I am glad someone else has looked at this. I find it quite unbelievable that they can get away with sending this shit out to schools. Makes me wonder what the heads and teachers think when they read this stuff (even if they are in a 'catholic' school), let alone what the LEA think about it.

I really should get off my arse and start writing to the local rags and the LEA and make some sort of noise about it when I calm down a bit.

Well, it's a very difficult and emotive issue with, at the end of the day, no hard and fast answer (unless yer Catholic of course). One thing research also shows clearly is that whatever legislation is enacted banning it, abortions happen anyway at much the same level with frequent disastrous outcomes.

MEMO TO Self: Always read the small print.

"The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut."
