| So you've come back for more aye? Well OK then..... |
| Pugilism: Fighting is a common part of life, it's a given. It's everywhere you look, be it on television, in a bar or outside a club. I'm not against fighting, quite the opposite infact. Rare is the day that I don't have the impulse to bludgeon a person with my fists until their pulp can be accommodated by a cup. I can think of a few people right now that I want to beat on, the most prominant being Osama bin Laden. However, I still believe that violence isn't a solution, just a complication. If you can't handle matters amicably, you need to apply more logic in your life. Violence should only be used in retaliation to a grievous action in my view. If some guy is coming at you with a knife, try to kick his arse obviously. If someone has harmed your family and you want vengance, go for it. However, if it is just a simple debate and you can't manage to deal with it verbally, get back under your rock. Pugilism reigns where logic faulters. Falsehood: One of the most common features in life unfortunately. Be it in the form of lies, deception or pretension, everyone uses this licence for fiction at one point or another. How hard is it to be truthful? The internet is a finely tuned resource for such things. In a forum where you can hide behind a computer, thousands of miles away from those you converse with, it is always going to be a factor. Religion part two: I just had to add this part! Whilst conducting a drunken conversation at the local pub, the subject of Catholicism was brought up. As many will know reading this, it is against Catholic practice to use contraception during the act of love making/knobbing/nut dipping/sex. Whilst making it near impossible to find a condom in Ireland, it also brings up the dilemna of unplanned pregnancies in the Catholic society. Apparently "pulling out" is a favourite amongst the anti-Durex clan. I sense I am not alone in feeling slightly weary about sleeping at a Catholic's house anytime soon. Hmmm, are these sheets starched? Religion part three: Oh this one is going to be fun to type. Just a quick point. In many holy books it is written that a saviour shall grace this Earth once again. Well, again if you are Christian. For the first time if you are Jewish and so on. If you was to see a guy on television, proclaiming to be the Messiah, would you fall at his feet or think he was mental? There are always impressionable people out there. Without them how would people in the south of the U.S. create cults, worshipping a flying saucer God that bleeds squeezey cheese and breathes party string. Most of us though would just laugh at the guy. This being the case, could the Messiah have passed us by already? Next time you see a dishevelled tramp, recycling his own urine as mouthwash, screaming from the top of his tar-laden lungs "I am Jesus, give me your shoes", maybe you'll think again. Nah, you will just walk past as usual and ignore the foul wretch. Worth a thought though if you abide by the holy writings. Inhibitions part two: The fear of rejection is invariably common in those with self esteem issues. Like climbing mount Everest, it is frequently endured, rarely conquered. Just like it's associates in inhibiting behaviour, it is a purely irrational condition. The fear is to be alone, though you combat it by being alone. A very short and bland point maybe, but I felt like getting it off my chest. |
