Yeah, like water is never processed. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
I got news for you, baby - pretty much everything is processed, including the spelt loaves in the wholefood shop you no doubt frequent. All this anti-processed stuff is just another form of elitism. A device to keep the working classes in subjection.

What's wrong with that? Tender tears need manly consolation so I am usually all for female plays.

I am concerned when people see aliens in every corner. It speaks of an unhealthy fear, or worse, an alienism that may come to rival sexism, racism and similar.
Everyone should be accepted, regardless of country or universe or planet of origin.

Now, see, this is how gossip begins. And gossip, as any eight year old knows*, is a sin. Have you forgotten that? Has it really been that long since you two have examined your poor, iniquity-sodden souls, or do you just conveniently re-frame gossip as "concerned speculation"? it would be interesting to live inside your heads.
* that one's for the Calvinists.
(also, what planet I may or may not hail from is nobody's gardam business but my own.)

Sylvander, Sylvander, I speak on behalf of my poor neglected colleague lilbuddha who may be li'l but isn't so li'l as to be totally negligible. Are you telling me you really failed to find anything objectionable or offensive in her post. I am well aware that Kelly is the paragon of offensiveness, but I am shocked and disappointed that you allow her to eclipse your fellow shipmates who are easily despicable in their own rights. Be less dismissive in future, please.

Don't we all judge bread and rolls and, indeed, everything in our lives, on a constant basis - surely not to do so would be to neglect our God-given abilities in discernment. Wouldn't to suggest otherwise be not only offensive but heretical?

Infants with lollies are a sign of irresponsible parenting. Kelly's actions may seem a little high-handed but they are well-intentioned. It starts with lollies but before you know it they're smoking spliffs.
