Any port in a storm.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Damn right. That's what a martini is. Anything else and it isn't a martini.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

The only thing that I can do around the house is change a light bulb. I also do not drive and cannot fight and have no tattoos and cry like a baby when at the dentist
So on the scale of what it means to be a man I score a perfect zero. But as I am only ever going to be myself and no one else then it does not really matter. Strangely
however the one thing I am not afraid of is dying which some men might be though. So long as it is painless I have no problem with it at all. Being sedated to the point
of unconsciousness and stripped naked and then having me head chopped off. I have no wife or children and am fifty years old and so death can come for me whenever
it wants. Just as long as it is quick and clinical not slow and messy for that would be somewhat pointless. So death comes and takes me or just leaves me alone till it is actually time. Either / or. Nothing in between. Just like how a real man would want it. So who else here would be prepared to be guillotined a s a p ? So just me then
is it ? But how many of you would watch while me head was chopped off ? Women and children used to over here in the old days and so really should not be a problem especially for some of you Yanks here as you have the death penalty anyway. Though your methodology is a tad time consuming methinks. Twenty five minutes for an electrocution ? A guillotine would do that in less than three seconds. Way more efficient than frying someone half alive. Just try not to watch it on a full stomach if
you can. Know what I mean ? Hey Dave what about you ? How do want to go ? Or are you not that fussed ?

Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.

Then I'm proud of drinking not-martinis... a Green Goddess is much better than a normal martini, thanks to the added chartreuse.

I prefer beer. I'll occasionally make a drink to mix things up. If I'm not having a beer I'll have a gin and tonic.

Actually I did replace the heating element on the oven, looked it how to do it and was quoted £200 to do it instead I did it myself in about 20 minutes. If they had quoted £50 I would probably have left them too it. It's the balance of how much my time is worth
