you cannot cast pearls (truth) amongst swine (people living off the lower ego center) because they will step on it (reject it).

OOOOH OOOH OOOOH that sounds like..Joe!

Yup yup, that combined with the obvious copy and paste posts.

Looks like he found a new religion to adhere to.

I am not even going to take a swing at that beach ball you just tossed out there.

PM for you.

Everyone else, I am off to Mexico for the greatest week of fishing in sunny Baja California. I hope you can keep things in line without me.

I was hoping you'd take the bait...

Liar, I do not have a PM

What's a Cheeto?

Don't worry about it. It's a type of food you need to stay away from.

Sci,

I'm really going to have to disagree with you. I agree that t.v. is good way to expand learning and to stay up to date on current events but, um should never replace books, and learning by interaction.

760. Richard Dawkins replies to Libby Purves

Comment #228787 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 2:33 pm

you're making it too easy for me, it's no challenge.

No, the problem is you are genetically predisposed to be a um....sexually driven human. er god, i meant god.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE *cough*. ME. *draws sword*

[rolls eyes] Sit back down on your bed clodhopper and put your sword back up. Or else Quetz and I will make a bowling ball out of you and knock out all the fucktards lurking around.

Morning Goldy!!!

Al!!

Have you not learned anything from me? I have great whacking powers and am not afraid to use them. How dare you make a mockery out of me and Quetz?

761. CBI wants more pupils in science

Comment #228777 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 2:17 pm

TV can show non-verbal communication for example

So can actually interacting with real people. God imagine that? Meeting and socialising with real people? The nerve of backward thinking. Who needs to learn how to interact with real people when you can observe it on t.v. and pick up on it. Of course you wouldn't really need to use the skills you learned because you're to busy sitting in front of the damn tv

It can also be interactive, respond more quickly to events (e.g. election shows and interviews) and is more visual.

True but not everyone feels like they have to know every single piece of the news as it happens.

Think of all the wonderful wildlife programmes - imagine if they were only described in words and still pictures.

Get off your ass, take a walk. Want something a bit more excting? But a goddamned ticket, get on a goddamned airplane, and go see it for yourself.

Astrology and Crystal Healing section of my local bookstore - at least then I'll be experiencing more brain activity...?

Pretty much yeah, but at least while you are there you can pick up other literature that would be more to your liking.

I was merely pointing out that there are lots of crap ones in response to a comments that TV was mainly crap.

No doubt. Unfortunatley there is more crap television in ratio to good television than dealing with books.

By the way, why do you assume I eat Cheetoes?

I don't presume you eat any particular sort of food. My "you" was a universal "you". And I'm sure there is someone out there that does.

762. Richard Dawkins replies to Libby Purves

Comment #228762 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 2:01 pm

But seriously- I did pick up on that when I reread my comment. I wondered if you would!

Of course, since Al decided to point out that my [whack whack whack] was vulgar...The whole word is going to prompt dirty thoughts from now on.

I'll walk away victorious.

OOOOkay Mr. Black Knight [pats head]

I wouldn't turn your back on me if I were you.

Comment #228755 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 1:53 pm

Oy,

We need to demolish the use of the word whacking before I can take you seriously.

there'll be lots of whacking, but you'll be on the receiving end.

Sounds like something Kelly would appreciate.

Comment #228753 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 1:47 pm

There are lots of good books, but also lots of crap ones too - go to your book store and see the reams of crap that gets published. Likewise there is good TV and loads of crap TV.

What the fuck dude? That's crap. Don't tell me to go to the bookstore. I practically live there. A good book in NO way compares to a good show on television. Sure there are crap books out there but at least reading a book will produce more brain activity then sitting on your ass, munching on cheetoes.

You can't even BEGIN to compare good tv and a good book. I watch t.v. don't get me wrong, and I love the science channel but anything I watch on there wouldn't even begin to cover what I would learn by actually picking up a few books on the subject. That's...just...well..thats..just..I don't know what to say. I'd backhand the hell out of you if you had been sitting in front of me.

"oooh look at me, I watched a program on t.v. about string theory, I'm a smart person now".

NO.

We could replace t.v. We could get along without it, but books? Never.

If you put me to the test, you will have to be punished.

What is this odious nonsense that you let escape that trap of yours? Punish??? ME???? I never back down from a challenge.

bwhahahaha
I snigger at your attempt to sound threatening.
I laugh in the face of danger [hahaha].
I am a glutton for punishment.
But most of all I am the chosen handler of the cricket bat.

Comment #228734 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 1:18 pm

Ap,

Well I don't think I'm wasting my time with New Ager anymore. More like the guy who said there have only been crap books since TGD and apparently feels that book reading is "snobbish" and from what I can gather feels that watching tv is a better source of entertainment and education.

Quetz,

You are an ancient god. [waves hand] pfffsshhh..

Unless you already had the ablility to travel through holes in space and time, you can't just claim "i'm a god" and be able to do it now. You have to stick with the powers you have been predisposed with.

Sorry.

Show me the perfidous souls smitten by this so called 'bat'.

Oh ye of little faith, I shall make an example out of you. When you least expect it, blasphemer, I will appear out of nowhere and smite you down until you cry out for mercy [uncle uncle]. When you shall wish for death, I will be sure that death runs from you. The fear of my almighty presence and mercy will cause you go about the world and spread the truth of my almighty cricket bat.

ahem.

bwahahahaha!

Hee hee, them's fighting words!

Speaking of..I just went to full cricket status.

Comment #228718 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 12:51 pm

There are also way too many crap books too. Save for the God Delusion, I cannot think of a recent non-fiction book that has genuinely changed people's thinking on a large scale.

You obviously don't read much. That is the biggest line of bullshit I think I have heard all week. Sorry ass excuse. There are way to many crap books out there so instead of taking the chance and reading one, or trying to find a good one, its much easier to plop my lazy ass in front of the t.v. and watch Wheel of Fortune? Or just watch someone else talk about it?

I meant to make the point that we don't use "Good Night" as a greeting. I just find that odd.

I am nocturnal. I don't sleep much. I'm always awake, I hate to sleep.

Comment #228700 by thewhitepearl on August 12, 2008 at 12:32 pm

TV is great. People are way to snobbish about books. Good information is good information, no matter what form it takes.

Disagree. Most t.v is complete crap. Mind filth. There is a problem when well over half of the american population didn't read a single book last year.

T.V. also allows for people to be lazy. There is another problem when people would rather stay in and watch "Americas Next Top Model" instead of doing something active and useful.

And don't even get me started on the fact that more people vote for their next American Idol instead of government officials.

lazy fuck wits.

You just earned a meeting with the cricket bat. I'm a bit irate now.

Ahh yes my afternoon java thank you sir.

Well, that just goes without saying.

On a side note, I was just thinking how odd it is that we say "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening" as a form of a greeting, but "Good Night" is always what we say when parting ways.

Laurie,

whitepearl, the practice of cutting up one's food and transferring the fork to the right hand to eat has always fascinated me. Why????

Idk. I don't do it. I do cut with the right hand, but I eat it with my left. I think I'd rather see someone transfer the fork, instead of skipping out on the knife altogether. Bad table manners and mouth noises irk the fuck out of me, so it is very hard to go out to eat.

Hmm...don't have any topics for ya! Maybe you can right about stupid Americans and their wacky way of living.

Laurie,

The wisecracker above me can't tell the difference between a typo and a spelling error.

Honestly, I have a lot of trouble spelling when I type. It's odd. When I'm writing I don't think twice about the spelling and I don't misspell. But when I'm typing, I have to use spell checker, or open up a new tab and google it to get the correct spelling. And I still catch errors after the fact.

Oh and your helmet will offer no protection against my mighty cricket bat and even mighter temper.
