And you all seem to think that Catholics can't space their family or choose the number of children they want - they can.
That's because most of them use 'artificial' contraception. (Most US Catholics do, anyway. Something like 70%, I think.)
I'm no stranger to working out my own cycle, actually, so I'm sure your method works fine if you dedicate some time to it. But saying it's not contraception is just doubletalk, IMO.

And how do you explain Catholicism/Christianity prior to feudalism?
Of course they were/are sincere. That's why power-mad people can use 'the faithful' for their own purposes later on. I love the nutty sects in late antiquity, though. Bring back the stylites!
I've read all that stuff about the rhythm method before. It still makes no sense to me. If you're timing the booty, you're not 'open to life'. You're crossing your fingers and hoping it doesn't happen. The fact that it doesn't work all the time is irrelevant: it's just a less efficient contraceptive.

Heh. That grindy noise in 'Human After All' is probably going to blow out my crappy speakers.
Also: a seriously trippy dub mix of The Streets' 'Blinded by the Lights'
Duuuuuude. Did someone slip something really delightful into my coffee? :)

Which song do you mean, Danielle?
'Everyone's At It'.
She started early and went hard.
I do respect that. I just don't see why she has to spoil everyone else's fun by telling them what big fat drug addicts they are. :)
(I also just found her cover of ELO's 'Mr Blue Sky'. How did I miss this?)

While we're here, I don't get the reasoning behind the rhythm method. If you're not meant to use contraception at all, why pussyfoot around with The Timing of the Boning? Isn't that exactly the same, in the end, as putting on a condom? Because you're working against 'God's Grand Boot-Knocking Plan' by trying to artificially change the outcome whether there's latex on the wang or not. It's a weird distinction. If you're really dedicated to the cause, have at it and let the chips fall where they may, surely?

Yes, yes, Grant, you're a squickily proud homophobe. We know. Way to be, sport.
I found myself getting a bit teared up seeing so many lovely earnest kids who've had to put up with shit for no real reason
I got a little verklempt myself. Although some of it might have been a 'the interweb is so awesome because this happens' reaction, too. Go kids!
Also: I love Lily Allen. Apart from that 'meaningful' song about how everyone's doing too many drugs. You are too young to have that epiphany, Lily! Couldn't we have had another song about being annoyed by sleeping in the wet patch instead?
Plus: where can I get one of those phallic rainbow iceblocks in the first video? They look like the business! It's the Cobb & Co traffic light on a stick.

(very awesome) guitarist was flown of to LA to session on Tim Finn's "Persuasion" single. The lead break is very crisp
I always liked that solo! I must dig it out when I get home tonight...

I think I only went there once! I wasn't 20 until late 1994, and my fake ID only worked at the Power Station... and until 1996 I was all into moody guitar music. I missed out, clearly.
Still, since we're in a S. Grigg Appreciation Thread, Simon once dedicated a song to me in 1998, during Beats Per Minute, when I was in Baton Rouge and very homesick, listening on the tubes. Thanks dude. :)

some kind of invisible damage to children
Luckily, at this point in the conversation - the point where we've established God's assholitude - I don't think 'distancing the kids from Him' is actually damage. Win!

militant feminism and the promotion of homosexuality
Mwah ha ha. I am Chuck's! Worst! Nightmare!
