The reign of Henry VIII will always be overshadowed by the Gentlemanly Conduct he so gallantly bestowed upon his ungrateful wives, but what people don't know is that he was actually a pretty good King. You can't really blame him for creating an institution that "fucked religion". I'm fairly sure that the prostitutes were less dogmatic than the catholics, but maybe not. It isn't the church that fucks up religion, or any other form of religious organisation. Religion fucks religion. I know it's awfully trendy to say you don't believe in organised religion but you do have spiritual beliefs (or whatever) but it is the very notion of "religious belief" - believing something without sufficient evidence - that is at the very heart of the "I'll save my best underpants for Sundays" problem. When people start using a book, written thousands of years ago BY MEN, as a basis for the decisions they make, then it is no wonder such people end up thinking and behaving like people did thousands of years ago. No doubt they'll claim it wasn't written BY MEN but by Jesu, through men. But let's face facts: what a complete load of bollocks. You only have to read about a page of Revelations to realise it was probably written by a drugged horse.

yes but can't you see we're all just energy? and the universe is a kindergarten? if only you would understand that, you might find that the ghost verse isn't the complete load of bollocks that it actually is.

Of course you WOULD have a bad itch about the OVERuse of profanity. Because someone who overuses profanity uses precisely that quantity of profanity which is excessive. But let me ask you this: If someone told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it? Exactly my point. We aren't here to follow orders. We're here to entertain, and to educate. Because education is the key, and without it how can anyone, let alone someone who overuses profanity, look a child in the eye and say, truthfully, and without prejudice, "You'll be a man, my son"?

Does his "use of profanity" really upset you? Please tell me exactly how it makes you feel. Thanks.

I'm having a tantrum because I made a mistake.

leave me alone

The Victor's Trophy (guillotine memoir) by -=Dark_Angel=-

Hoist above my trembling groin
I wait for circumcision
Trousers down I shout "Purloin!"
And pray for close precision.

lol

On this point I would have to agree with you, SupremeDreamer. People often get angry and confused when they read some of horus8's less PC poetry. They often dismiss such challenging pieces under meaningless buzz-words like "tasteless", without providing a single stain of justification for their putrid remarks. You would never do anything like that, would you?

Didn't you find it even remotely odd that the black kid was called Leroy and that I kissed my six year old daughter ON THE LIPS? You're racist. And sick.

are you talking to me? what the hell are you talking about?

I know exactly what you mean. My daughter has just turned 6 and listening to her play - the things she says and the way she looks at the world - has to be the one of the most inspirational experiences life has to offer. She is so creative and has something amazing to say about just about anything she encounters. I think it takes the innocence and creativity of a child's mind to reveal some of the most important truths and injustices that society tries to hide from us. It's interesting that you meantion Neo-Nazis in your piece. I'm not a social worker, so call me old-fashioned but I haven't quite got round to teaching her about national socialism yet. Nevertheless, some of her friends are ethnics and the issue of racism was raised, indirectly, during one of our little discussions. She had noticed, through sitting on my lap watching news on the television, that nearly every news featured "bad black people" being arrested. One of her friends from school is African-American and one day, out of the blue, she asked me if Leroy would have to go to jail, too. Holding back the tears, I kissed her gently on the lips and said "One day things will change, my love. One day..."
