   If you have Netflix, the documentary Sick is on the online videos. I watched it a few days ago and loved it.

   @Ribavirin9 watch the documentary about him. If you make it to the end you will realize that talent has nothing to do with it

   because no pain, no gain

   because spare the rod and spoil the child

   because you always hurt the one you love

   @xelfer9 Godly is not decent. What people choose to do with their own bodies is none of god’s damned business. He and you can go back to his time when a rapist would be punished by being forced to buy his victim, when a child could be killed for disobedience, when a slave was okay to beat just not to kill, when a homosexual was killed for it, when a woman was property. You can go back to godly times, but in these times we have freedom. These are the decent times.

    I can’t help but be disgusted by people in these times. it’s horrible how screwed up people are and how people look up to and respect abnormal, sick and twisted, off base, and disgusting people and personalities rather than good and decent Godly people who stand for what is right.

    This documentary changed my life. I did a research project on him for a class in grad school two years ago- i highly recommend seeing this documentary.

    because my mom didn’t masturbate, because I’m a feminist, because I want to, because it makes me feel powerful, because I like to feel powerless, because I’m fragile, because I’m tough, because clipping my nails was always such a ritual when I was a kid, because the future is dark, because life is too short, because I am bored, because I’m open-hearted, because I’m a woman, because I’d wither without it, because I am queer, because I am punk, because I am a pervert.

    because I was a sad kid and an angry teenager, because I feel nostalgia for a time that never was, because of the martyrs of sainte agathe and sainte marguerite, because I’m lazy, because I’m selfish, because it’s my definition of tenderness.

    Havent seen the documentary yet but the guy sounds pretty wild, even though some of the footage i saw of him sounds like hes a cool fairly down to earth guy. Cystic Fibrosis is awful, Perhaps the pharmaceutical industry should spend less billions of dollars on aggressive 3 minute advertisements (which makes many people think they need pills when they dont) and spend more on research to help Cancer, Aids, Drug addiction, MS, Cystic Fibrosis etc etc. Drug companies anger me. Bob rules
