We all die eventually

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Weird isn’t it how so many people value money and possessions nowadays more than time with the family and friends. Working long hours day after day

that other 1% is a woman though isn't it

It’s there more in hope than expectation!

In fairness, my comment does fit lol

I must read The selfish Gene. I've read ABHOT, but found it a bit immature and tedious to be honest.

the God Delusion is well worth a read

I used to think about stuff like this, but I eventually realised there's fuck all you can do about it and there are certainly no answers, so you should just make the most of the ride and the rest will take care of itself.

I'm 99% certain that once you're dead, that's it, though.

There are plenty of answers, I’m just not sure you know what the questions are.

a few week ago I was 100% sure Liverpool had the league.........makes your 99% a bit edgy.

There’s that 1% again, where you really hope there is a God.

There’s that 1% again, where you really hope there is a God.

At this point, I'm really banking quite heavily on there not being one.

Look on it as a holiday camp.Some only get to stay the long weekend while others manage a week while some lucky dudes get the full fortnight all inclusive.Effectively it's just a processing plant.But at the other end of the equation some poor people never get an opportunity to come on holiday at all and I quote a passage from Professor Dawkins used a few year back at a family funeral.

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”

How does old Stevie baby explain the millions of utter bellends who inhabit the planet then?

I’ve never got over the removal from the mainstream of Kajagoogoo.

It took me ages to copy that hairdo and just when it was identical, radiant, awesome, they’re gone.

I’m glad someone else recognises the void.

I felt the same about Tudor Pickled Onion crisps.

And platform shoes for small people.

It’s enough to tip me over the edge into terrorism actually.

Re the hairdo..... you know the rules....

 

[Stoned Rose]

I know one thing, things that you think really matter really don't.

Scarily, nothing that we think really matters.
