Pro-Lifers not told what to think of "Morning After Pills" yet?

Posted on by Eric Brooks

False Pregnancy – Who really wants to debate the morning-after pill?

“Why the silence? Because from a strategic standpoint, it’s a stinker of an issue for pro-lifers. In recent years, they’ve gained the upper hand by focusing relentlessly on late-term fetuses that look like babies.”

I love it!
Abortion can be argued to a certain degree because a life is involved. The Pro-Life crowd hasn’t figured out how to argue about “Morning After Pills” yet without looking like they’re trying to meddle in someone’s life. (Which we all know they are!)

I wish my life was as uncomplicated as those that have all the time in the world to concern themselves with other people’s sex lives… don’t you?

Disinformation :: Beyond Belief! – Religious Ramblings

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Beyond Belief! – Religious Ramblings

One of the best essays I have ever read. A Pagan named Father Crow breaks down religious belief and human nature. It boils down to Aristotle and his theory of dualism… either something is, or it isn’t.

Introducing… POPE BENNY!!!!

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Benedict XVI: German cardinal elected pope
“Just call me ‘Der Pope’…” his eminence humbly insists.

Pope Benny XVIVATICAN CITY – Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, a hard-line guardian of conservative doctrine, was elected the new pope Tuesday evening in the first conclave of the new millennium. He chose the name Pope Benedict XVI and called himself “a simple, humble worker.”

Awwww yeah!!!! LET’S GET READY TO HUMBLLLLLLLLE!*
For those of you hoping for a kinder, gentler Pope who will ease up and allow birth control and priests marrying, and gay rights? FORGET IT!
No more of that sissy “Easter/Christmas” crap for you! I wouldn’t be surprised if the following decrees are canonized post haste:

Studies in Misanthropy

Posted on by Eric Brooks

The Blogosphere has probably got the biggest collection of Misanthropic dumbasses. Ever.

Yes. People suck. Most (not all) people are a waste of your time, energy and resources… but still, why do bloggers expect cyberspace to be any warmer and more cordial than the real world?

The message boards are no better. I’ve been studying this one guy who posts in one section dedicated to “Shameless Self-promotion”, contributes nothing anywhere else in the message board, encourages no one, and is the BIGGEST complainer when no one responds to him!

Boo. Effing. Hoo.

A-Lists have come and gone in the blog world… but there is always that “lesser person” out there who expects the entire world to link to them and shower this loser with adulation when they can only talk about the least-interesting subject in the world… THEMSELVES.

In case you didn’t learn this lesson when you were five: “If you want a friend, you have to BE a friend.” Same with the world of blogs… if you want people to visit your site regularly, you have to visit other people regularly.

Dumbasses.

Death

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Getting old doesn’t phase me a bit.
It’s that “death” shit at the end that irritates me.

I tried to sell my soul to the Devil the other day. He just looked at his watch and said “That’s ok, I’ll wait”.

In a lot of ways, I’m getting better. I’m able to grasp complicated concepts now, with the aid of Ginkgo Biloba and Vivarins, I’m sharper than ever. I used to hear for years “You look tired”, now people think I’m a hyperactive problem adult a la Robin Williams. I’m stronger now, in fact, I’m probably in better shape than I’ve been in decades… and I don’t even work out! I know things about women now that I WISH I had known as a teen (thanks for never being there for me, dad. You asshole).

Of course there’s my hair falling out, and communicating with so many of my old friends that are going to be “middle aged” in the next few years, reminding me that our heydays in the mid-80’s are gone forever.

Hell, I’ll be 40 in August… but I don’t feel like it.

The Last Pope?

Posted on by Eric Brooks

The Last Pope: Examining Nostradamus and Malachy (No. 288)

I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors about old prophecies since Pope John Paul II’s death about him being the last Pope and Christianity fizzling out by the end of the 20th Century. Actually according to this book, and this conspiracy site, he is the next-to-last Pope. The link above interests me more, as Nostradamus predicts there would be five Popes after the controversial Pius XII. (JP2 was the fourth Pope after him)

Move over Woody and Buzz…

Is this a gift only a creepy uncle type would buy a kid, or what?
Talking Jesus, Mary and Moses dolls due to go on sale in May

Jesus Action Figure (with Holy Ghost grip™)

WHOAH! When did Jesus and Moses become Black belts?

More important than that… is it safe to remove their sashes without the fear of them chasing you all around the apartment?

Year of the Phoenix: Rebirth

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Fire of PrometheusSpring is here, the Poconos is less flooded, and you can see the flowers and trees begin to bloom through the muddy water.

And so it’s time for a new look to go with my new attitude. A lot of phenomenal changes on the inside of me all winter long, and now it’s time to let it show.

As always, all my anger, rage and bitterness remains the driving force in my creativity.

Like the fire Prometheus gave to man, it can be used to create or consume everything in its path… it all depends on your mastery of it.

Bowling for Karma™

Posted on by Eric Brooks

On the Pocono Forums, I introduced a new game called “Bowling for Karma™“. On that board, people are awarded positive or negative “Karma Points” for their posts. People covet these points, and it also encourages them to keep the quality of discussion high.

I submitted three sites of local candidates running for judge positions in the Poconos. I designed one of them.

  • Jon Mark For Judge (www.jonmarkforjudge.com)
  • Brian Germano For Judge (www.germano4judge.com)
  • Art Zulick For Judge (www.artzulick.com)

Whoever picks the site I designed is rewarded a Karma Point at the forum (also for giving my ego a boost). I really have nothing to offer on this site, but just for kicks & giggles, since you guys probably know my design style much better….

Which site do you think I designed?
