Originally posted by TheBigYinJames View PostCompromise is what makes us human. And when it comes to my kids, I don't think it's too much to ask to suspend my disbelief for half an hour a week.
Really though I don't mean to pick a fight, it just annoys me that soooo many people do exactly the same without trying to change anything. A friend of mine told me the other day that he'd started going to church since his kid was born with a view to getting him into the local church school. I called him a hypocrite too.
I totally understand why people do it, it just frustrates me so much that no one is willing to do anything about it."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

As time goes on we will grow in number and strength and humanity as a whole will be improved.

Glad I wasn't baptised.
I mean, what right does a parent have to baptise a baby / child, when aforementioned child has not had its' own chance to make a choice ?Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

To know the Way,
We go the Way;
We do the Way
The way we do
The things we do.
It's all there in front of you,
But if you try too hard to see it,
You'll only become Confused.Comment

You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Tell me what I can do about it? All that would happen is that they would close down faith schools, helping nobody.
I'm not being a hypocrite. I'm being pragmatic. i don't believe in Object Orientation either, but if I want a job that needs it, it's the best thing since sliced bread.Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.Comment
