Dead guy on a stick day![^] :D Something with eggs too, but I'm too afraid why as it's probably something morbid again :~

Well, when a Mommy Chocolate Parrot and a Daddy Bee want to have babies, they get together under a Gooseberry Bush and Summon The Stork, who delivers them a load of Chocolate Eggs, which they take turns in hatching. These days, the Stork's job has been outsourced, the Chocolate Parrot died of Avian Flu, and the Chocolate Bee was downsized - so Tesco fills all three roles and loads its shelves with Chocolate Eggs for all to take home and hatch. The Easter Bunny drives the truck.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Anti human control freaks Monsanto are killing all the bees intentionally so you are forced to buy their centric ally engineered plants. And keep buying them year after year :wtf:

Easter celebrates Christ's rising from the dead. Not only was he not dead but he wasn't on the cross either. Just sayin' 's all... :)

Wait, what? :D Ok, so I guess that was two days ago. On the good Friday (although most Fridays are pretty good to me) :D I guess having a dead man on a stick makes every day just that little bit better :~

How can eggs represent anything morbid? It's about new life, innit! That and the fact that Lent's over and you can actually have an egg for brekkie again! Nom, nom!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

How can a GOOD Friday be morbid? It's almost weekend and it's particularly good or we wouldn't be calling it GOOD Friday. Yet it's about a dead man on a stick. I call that somewhat morbid :D If you'd check out some "egg factories" you might agree that eggs are actually pretty morbid as well :sigh:

Well, technically he's not dead on the stick. When he's dead they take him off the stick. And technically it's not a man ... well, not just a man anyway, at least to those responsible for naming it Good Friday. If it was just any old man and any old crucifixion (the Romans got through thousands of them in their time) then that would be morbid. But if you share the vision of this particular crucifixion, like Karl Barth, as the 'death which is the death of death', the eternal event in which 'the radical and inexorable claim of God upon men triumphed and believe that 'the life which springs from [that] death is wholly pre-eminent over the life which engenders death and is enclosed by it', then how can it be anything other than Good? It is the very antithesis of morbid for it is an invitation to throw off every concern, every fear, and every uncertainty about death in the knowledge that it is death itself that is dead and buried and stripped of all dominion. Of course, if you don't share that vision then, yeah, it's a man dying on a stick. It's just not a stick that you can beat Christianity with without looking like a petty reductionist.

Man was created to resolve the prehistoric Angelic Conflict. After The devil sinned and was sentenced to the Lake of Fire, he appealed the decision. A man and a woman were created as witnesses for the Devil's Appeal Trial. Adam and his wife Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden to live in a beautiful paradise on a perpetual honeymoon. They were allowed to freely eat of the fruit of all the trees in the Garden except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.The Lord Jesus Christ made salvation possible. He was came to earth from God and paid for the sins of the world on the Cross. When Jesus Christ was crucified, everyone's sins were judged in Him. That means that everyone's sins are paid for and the door is wide open for salvation. Salvation is as simple as believing in Jesus Christ.

And once again I'm confused as to why its okay to mock 32% of the populations beliefs but not the 23% (or the 0.2%)

Anti human control freaks Monsanto are killing all the bees intentionally so you are forced to buy their centric ally engineered plants. And keep buying them year after year :wtf:
You're so damn ignorant and wrong it's almost not KSS in and of itself. You do know that when farmers by non-Mansanto hybrid seeds that the seeds they get from their crop will not breed true (as in the case of all hybrids) - and so the difference is moot. Why aren't you complaining about hybrid seed, as well? No one buy's Monsanto's seed, unless they get a financial advantage from it. Just remember, corn that kills corn-borers (with the same pesticide, internally, as organic farmers use) and requires no spraying toxins into the environment is really a big plus. Even a third-world farmer would benefit as he gets a larger crop and doesn't have to put out money for sprays and doesn't have to poison him/her self and family in the process. As for the bees, they're suffering for several reasons. Not just a parasitic disease going around. There are vast areas where there's only a single crop. When they're in bloom, the bees can feast - but then they're all out of bloom for the rest of the summer - and starvation is the rule for the hive. Unfortunately, farming at the level of many small fields of diverse crops would so reduce the food supply as to initiate world-wide starvation as the production of food drops. Basically, like it or not, GMO's are the only way to improve productivity without requiring more land (such as chopping down the rain forests). Another alternative would be for you to give up your animal-burgers so the food isn't wasted fattening them up. Other (more traditional) options are war and pestilence. Myself? I opt for the science that will feed the planet with more and better food.

It was also used as an excuse, over almost all of the last couple-thousand years, to torture, murder, rob, loot, rape, and otherwise pillage those who didn't share those belief. (Jews, initially, but then, with the hope and promise of earthly wealth, the crusades showed the true color of it all: the original blood money if every there was any). Religion of love, they say. Depends a lot upon who one asks.

Monsanto's got you hooked too. You should do some research first. :doh:
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Not really - and I looked into this quite a bit. Genetically modifying plants is essential for survival of the human race. This is the state of affairs because the last big breakthrough, which would have been in time to mitigate this need: easy and effective birth control - didn't really catch on where it was needed most. So, a couple or three billion additional humans later, the planet is seriously elephanted. I've been against burning carbonaceous fossil fuels even when oil was US$3/barrel. It's to valuable a raw material to burn (then and now). I'm not particularly on board with any group. For example, I'm a vegetarian for 45 years - but consider PETA a bunch of a$$hole$. The question I always ask - and never receive a valid response for - is an alternative to GMO. Perhaps, just perhaps, it's a lot of fear-mongering that has put unfounded fears and conspiracies into the justifications. Now, prove them wrong. But even if you do, those espousing them will simply call it a cover-up.
