Talk Thursday: Wants, Needs, Must (Dos)

I've been very bad lately.

I have not been doing any of the things I Need to do, have become overly immersed in what I Want to do, and barely keeping up with the Must Do's.

I've spoken before about Wrong Planet, an autism based web-community that I stumbled across one day. Well, I finally looked outside of the parent's forum... and ..... found a religion, politics, and philosophy forum. OMG.. I can debate religion every day with people who want to do the same!

I occasionally get sucked into the stupid/piss-me-off threads such as 'Why should government-based healthcare pay for lap-band procedure for the fat and lazy?" Yes, those are the threads that make me want to track a poster down and punch them in the face. Repeatedly.

I'm rather entertained by some... Ok... check this out.... LOL This is in a thread about the increase in catastrophic earthquakes being a sign that The End Of Times is Upon Us.

Given one factor for the end of the world as we know it in the last sixty years, I think it might have been the introduction of the "pill" in 1960. It started a massive cultural revolution, more reality shattering than any earthquake we have experienced.

Not saying it was a bad thing, but I think we have a different world because of it.

I just remembered something...

Was it last year or the year before when there was a number of women celebrating "Boobquake" day? Remember that??? Apparently a Moslem cleric over in Iran or somewhere declared that promiscuous women, particularly women who dressed immodestly, were the cause of earthquakes. In reaction, women started showing a little extra cleavage to see if it would indeed cause earthquakes.

It might have taken a while. The earthquakes in Japan and elsewhere as well as the tsunami and nuclear disaster were probably inevitable--but there is little doubt in my mind that the "Boobquake" day very likely accelerated the events of this year and other recent events. Thoughts???


Seriously??? My thought is that this line of thought is NUTS!! and... it kinda made me wish I wasn't fat, cuz I'd go around topless for a few days to see if I caused an earthquake.Yeeeee!

I did, however, get 5 loads of laundry done today.. which now waits on my bed to be folded... and I'm sitting here at 12:42am... trying to find anything to do but THAT! Unfortunately, it really falls into the MUST DO category. *sigh* I will have to sleep eventually.
I keep trying to do the dream Talk Thursday... but I keep forgetting them! I'll wake up and be like "oooh, that's a good one," but by the time I get a little coffee in me and can sit down to write... it's gone...

How you keep from replying to inane lines of discussion with, "And they let you breed?" is totally beyond me, you've much more restraint than I.

Ohhh Ummmm I did make a post about my opinion on government sanctioned testing to determine if someone should be "qualified" to breed and mandatory sterilization of those that don't qualify... Even if it's just temporary chemical sterilization pending parenting classes and whatnot....

Yeah, believe it or not, this idea was not well received. You would think that all of the academia in that forum would have agreed to some extent, but no... it got into a debate of where do you draw the lines and who gets to determine breed-ability... but I think boob-induced earthquakes is a great place to start!

In a former office of mine, one of the secretaries launched a trend toward the wearing of, uh, very short skirts. Once most of the rest of the office had adapted the dress code, I commented to the other fat chick in the office that if the two of us joined in the trend, we would have a dress code so fast our heads would spin. Not long after came the Northridge Earthquake. Coincidence? Probably.
