Bio:Long-time visitor to Daily Rotten (used to think it was Dirty Rotten, and kept getting some rapper's website by mistake!), and joined the forum as soon as I knew about it. Not as entertaining as sirbutlust (but then, who is?
) or as erudite as piscivore, or as outspoken as ciaochowbella, but I do occasionally post what I consider relevant stuff - I even get a byline every once in a while!
WARNING - Shameless Plug (Hope it's okay with Rottenduder!) - If you have health issues that are not helped by "conventional treatment", please visit my website. I suffered from fibromyalgia/osteoarthritis for years, and this stuff transformed my life! http://www.mannapages.com/sharethegift/index.asp?UN=GlycoGramma&CountryCodeID=1& sMainMenu=MemberDirectory&sMain2Menu=na&sSubMenu=na&sSubMenuItem=na&sSubMenu2Ite m=na&
Some of my favorite quotations:
“I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.” - George Carlin
"There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated — And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." - Doctrine & Covenants 130:20-21
"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." - Plato (This is included specifically for juliothebitch)
“I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.” - Kurt Cobain
"We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or to other peoples' models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open." - Shakti Gawain
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." - Albert Einstein
"I've been wrestling with reality for most of my life. I'm pleased to say I've won." - Emo Phillips
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Alva Edison
"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you somebody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." - e.e. cummings
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mohandas Gandhi
"Now I know why they call televison a medium; it's neither rare nor well-done." - Mighty Mouse
"It is a mistake to suppose that God is only, or even chiefly, concerned with religion." - Archbishop William Temple
"Much of what has been called religion has an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the teaching of religion by rule and rote is largely a hoax. The proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you've always known." - Dune, Frank Herbert
"I don't believe there is a God. I know there is a God." - C. G. Jung
