The great thing about other people's possessions is that you don't have to give a **** about them

They're not yours, so it doesn't matter to you what happens to them - You don't need to take care of them and, when you're done with them, you can just leave them wherever is most convenient for *you* and not give them a second thought [1]

It's the same with someone else's kids ...

They're not your responsibility,…

But, hopefully, it's amusing, entertaining, thought-provoking nonsense :)

Flash card (n., Social Science / Education) - A card on which are written or printed words for children to look at briefly; used as an aid to learning

Flasher (n., informal) - A man who shows his sexual organs in public

So ... how much trouble do you think one could get into by combining the two ideas at the local playground or park and surprising the kids with difficult words like 'antidisestablishmentarianism' ?

Karma!

It's a bummer, ain't it?

There you are ... brand new life ahead of you ... and the cosmic taxman comes around for his pound of flesh

Karma!

It's coming

It's gonna get ya sooner or later.

But stop!

Think for a moment

What if ...

What if you could consolidate all your karmic debts and pay them off in this lifetime?

Wouldn't that be fine?

You wouldn't even need to wait for your next lifetime for a fresh…

SALES - Singer/Lead Guitarist - Lot's of wailing/fret-wanking, but little or no substance and often have ego problems the size of Canada ... Think they do all the work and are worth more than everyone else

MARKETING - Drummer - Nice to have but not absolutely essential and periodically get carried away, so that you have nail their hands to the floor, before they spoil everything everyone else has worked so hard on

TECHNICAL SUPPORT - Backing Singers - Cinderellas of the…

What a waste of time!

Who needs 6 minutes!?!

All I need is to ask the following question

It's quick ... taking only 6 seconds

It's easy ... requiring a simple "Yes" or "No" answer

And when she answers I'll know whether or not there's any chance of her being the right kind of girl for me

The question is: "Do you want to come to Hamleys with me, get a baseball bat from the Sports department and go baby-toy-seal-clubbing with me in the Stuffed-Toys…

I'm against it - It's the last bastion of the coward ... patriotism the last resort of the scoundrel

I'm me ... that's it

I don't need anything to hide behind, let alone a bit of cloth ... I don't need anyone's permission ... I don't need any excuses - I'll take on any, and all, in my own name thanks ... I don't need yours or anyone else's

You may be surprised to learn that I don't gladly offend people inadvertently and am always mortified to learn that I have done so - I always regret the missed opportunity to have made a better job of it by doing it on purpose

"This was the first book I have read since leaving school - I am never reading another one as long as I live"

Too harsh? ;)

It is a common experience that bureaucrats in the Government world over share some common thinking behaviour,namely,look for precedence,follow the rules and play safe. My experience hind sight reveals that the so called "successful" bureaucrats have an additional ability,namely a good understanding of psychology of rational thinking; that most people do not like to go into complexity and look for simple solutions. So they follow the "Either Or " logic. and not generate more alternatives.…

The murmuring amongst the gathered rose to a crescendo and then descended rapidly, like a wave breaking upon a beach, into an expectant hush as Jesus spake unto them, saying "Who is it that you would have me be?"

As before, the murmuring increased in volume and then crashed into the sussurus of their collectively held breath, as one of their number stepped forward, saying "Lord, you are the eschatalogical grounds of our being; the kerygma of which we find in our…

Module 1 - Philosophers In The Nuthouse A Nutshell

Descartes - "Who the fuck are you!?"

Wittgenstein - "Shut the fuck up!"

Sartre - "If you don't, I'll kick your fucking head in!"

Orwell - "Ouch! That fucking hurt!"

That's as concise as I can make their respective contributions to human endeavour

The progression, both chronologically and conceptually, from analysis to…

In theory ... one theory at least ... it's me - Mine is comfortably beyond the lower threshold for claims of genius level IQ, without it being smugly satisified with itself and distastefully brash

I'll tell you now though ... I'm no genius - You don't need my word for it ... you just have to read my ramblings to see that ... and I know from bitter experience

There is a school of thought that posits that what I consider my way of thinking…

The title of my (auto) biography, should there ever be some need for the perpetration of one [1]

So, on my blog I post things I think rather than about dBT necessarily - Those I post on the fora

My life is also hideously complex whilst, simultaneously, being no more difficult than I choose to allow it to be [2] ... so I'm also pretty lax about keeping up with those thoughts that interesting people are kind enough to add their own to

So, this may not be particularly…

Imagine that you had the skill to solve three problems or mysteries, which problems/mysteries would you solve? What would be the Positive Benefits if these three problems/mysteries were solved? Problems and mysteries can be defined from finding the pen you lost last summer to solving issues related to poverty. In other words, anything and everything.…
