the purpose of language is to woo women

of chinese/taco bell for lunch... They did this at my first job (tech support) a few years ago. I just did everything like I always did.. if I had to drop a huge deuce and it took 10-15 minutes... then whatever. What're they gonna say? "You're fired for taking big long dumps?" Besides, with those Cisco soft phones when you "log out" and choose the available options for why you're logging out, most people will select the most generic answer like "asking a question" or "helping a customer" or whatever. You'll eventually see that people in your apartment spend a LOT of time "asking questions/helping customers" and almost nobody has to poop anymore.

Is this real life? I don't want to live on this planet anymore...

Probably my favorite part about Slashdot religious threads is the extremely biased, condescending, closed minded banter. From both sides. I'm no scientist nor am I any religious scholar, but I've seen only several posts from anyone who seems remotely open to anything resembling a *conversation* where they're open to a new and/or different point of view. Personally I find issues with both sides... and when considering the scientific *facts* but also the theological and metaphysical possibilities, I'd say both sides have good arguments as well as fallacies.

Sounds like something a self proclaimed atheist would do. It's funny... the atheists I know get more offended about religion than my religious friends do about atheism...
