[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Some of my Facebook friends are arguing about the nature of heaven and it's so weird to see these people that I respect as intelligent and rational put forth passionate arguments for why this place (that I'm pretty sure is imaginary) is set up one way or another. It seems very important to them whether or not a bunch of innocent virgins are currently being handed over to Osama Bin Laden.
In other news, people who are threatening to run away and join the circus might be interested to know that Circus Vargas is currently in town. My housemates did not respond to my pleas to pull over so we could investigate the darkened tent and environs in the wee hours of this morning.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay Seska and the Girl! Congratulations!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It seems a more important question to me to ask what those poor virgins did to deserve that.

I don't understand how they can even ask the question. If you accept that heaven exists then how can you think people are being tormented there? Or do they think there are girls out there hoping to die virginal so they can service "martyrs" in the afterlife?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congratulations, Seska!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Silly Laga, women and girls aren't real people with real lives! They're rewards for a job well done and/or things to have sex with.

...And, on a totally different note: Many congratulations to Seska and The Girl!

I had the impression really that this was all about women not being actual human beings but rather interchangeable receptacles for penises - just fine to grab up a bunch of new ones, and cast off the old ones. The Mormons at least have a decent, loving, romantic idea that a marriage is sacred enough to transcend death, because women are possibly more than throw-away chattel. Sorry, I'm in a very ugly mood right now. I need to shed it, too, before I get to work.

Well, that may or may not be the motivation behind that tennet of belief, I don't know, but at least it seems vastly less objectifying.
