    How To Clear Out The Bilge



    You guys are all wonderful
    There is no rational, logical, or physical description of how free will could exist. It therefore makes no sense to praise or condemn anyone on the grounds they are a free willed self that made one choice but could have chosen something else. There is no evidence that such a situation is possible in our Universe. Demonstrate otherwise and I will be thrilled.

          I think you misunderstand. If the answer is no, you're not supposed to say it.
          I'll just take my chances with those salt water joys.

            This one can be difficult. Inadvertently it happens.

                    I like the related: "Does it need to be said? Does it need to be said now? Does it need to be said by me?"

                    There are two kinds of boaters: those who have run aground, and those who lie about it.

                      Ain't that the truth. I wonder how it ever got that way?

                        And especially, does it need to be said in the shower to the tune of Singin' In The Rain? (I think I may have just violated one of the criteria. Maybe more than one)

                              I've heard it attributed to a Buddhist monk.
