One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

burning to death in your car after an accident-because you were trapped. Calling your loved one to say goodbye before the flames get to you.

People who think the government should force all pregnant women to give birth against their will.

I drowned once (kinda). It was the scariest thing in my life. (some of the story is pieced together from what I heard afterwards). I was trying to swim a 75 no-breath at my swim team and I fell unconsious at the 70 yard mark. I couldn't feel myself becoming unconsious because somehow my body forgot how to breathe lol. I drifted down diagonally and hit my head on the wall. Only two people noticed me but they couldn't pull my unconsious body all the way out of the water. More people came and finally got me up onto the deck and I came to about five minutes later. I opened my eyes but I had no control of my body. Suddenly I got up and started running away from everybody and pulling my hair out. (I don't know why, I think it must have been some internal reaction to danger). But they had to wrestle me to the ground (still no control) and after I was on the ground I started hacking up tons of blood. It felt like I was drowning again, but I wasn't under water. Scary. After a few minutes of that, the paramedics arrived and rushed me to the hospital. I was shivering uncontrollably. Miraculously I recovered in about 4 days, and I started swimming again the week after that.

At least I made it the whole 75!

I think the blunt trauma to the head rather than the drowning might have contributed to some of that.

Looks like I've touched a few nerves. Good. Evaluate your beliefs closely. Evaluate why you believe the way you do. Evaluate why you think babies shouldn't have a choice.

In all actuality, I am not afraid of anything. Abortionists are the thing that cause me the most concern.

How much I rock is pretty scary. Only this morning I went into the bathroom, caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and was astonished at the awesome rockingness of my good self. Scary, I can tell you.


I don't like flying though. That's probably because I rock too much to be doing that sort of thing.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Yes, every time you speak, those stupidity-detecting nerve endings just go haywire.

Not applicable to me either. But I did "know" there wasn't a God for over 21 years.

Since they grow into uneducated, immoral, sex fiends who have no self control, and who has been brainwashed into thinking that abortion ISN'T killing a life. The stupidest person on the planet is a teenager.

I wasn't going fast when I hit the wall. I was gliding for 5 yards, and I didn't even have a bump.

And thank you for demonstrating your inability to mentally grasp what even my 2 1/2 year old daughter can understand.
