A ghost’s gotta do what a ghost’s gotta do.
They’re heeeeere….
Yes, and the fucking ghost is sooooo gonna read this. Oye.
Can you send over to my house? I have to rearrange the furniture for Christmas. (I hate that job.)
I don’t know if you wanna do that HKM…nothing gets ectoplasm out.
As long as it’s standard green ectoplasm (soul drippings) I can clean it up with a Skurge spell. People always make the mistake of trying to wash it with water not knowing that it will turn to blood.
If you know where to get it, you can buy a ghost buster. It looks like a simple dust buster but it is designed to trap entities instead of dust mites. Of course, it doesn’t work on the ectoplasm that leaks from mediums (oral, nasal, vaginal and nipple ectoplasm is contaminated with human fluids which makes it a whole other thing).
Rawr’s got a point there….
Communication is all you need….just talk to it….share your frustrations and take the time to hear it’s problem out.
Some times the solution is as simple as taking it’s picture and putting it in a frame on the wall. Talk to it!……..and listen!
HKM, I don’t know whether to laugh or be grossed out…maybe I’ll do both.
he he…secretions….ewwww
You started it! I googled how to clean up ectoplasm and got hit with a whole load of really gross photos including vaginal ectoplasm. It was like seeing that Polaroid photo on the movie, Seven…I made the mistake of freezing the film to look closer, because I missed seeing what it was when the camera glimpsed at it. Big sickening mistake (strap-on for psychopaths). Well, I made the same mistake here. I mean really, who wouldn’t wonder what the hell vaginal ectoplasm was?! So, I looked. Not as shocking as the strap-on, but still…gross! Thought I would share
: p
Sounds like we need an Ouijabitch Board.
Okay, we have to get serious here. OP needs to get some sleep.
OP, stop blaming the dead people! There is no such thing as ghosts. The problem is you and your out of control psychokinetic energy:

when there’s somethin strange in the neighbourhood,who you gonna call, try the guardian angels, ghostbusters is out of business. no, wait, don’t call them either, there is only 3 left now, and are afraid of the dark to boot. call peter kelly, he is good at hidden things i hear.
Something tells me ethereal beings emit ethereal droppings that stay on the ethereal plane. Now make peace with the ghost and move on with your life.
Who ya gonna call?
HE-MAN! and the masters of the universe.
just have orko explain that they are fucking with your chi and you like the fung shui of the room just the way it is…
Just put out a couple of brooms or set up the vacume cleaner & when you hear them moving around yell out ” SWEEP THE DAMN FLOOR “… THat’s what I would do.
Well, maybe if the ghost looked like Jesus people would come around.
“Maybe its because people have actually seen, heard and experienced poltergeists, spirits and ghosts firsthand.”
okay, I was making jokes. you don’t actually believe this, do you?
really?
is this how people like madame cleo end up making a fortune?
Belief in God does not preclude damnation or even judgment.
I see evidence of God every day. So MANY people saw Jesus there are countless books about their experience notwithstanding the four that comprise the gospel.
Show me a ghost. Make me a believer.
I find it more logical to get my head around the presence of beings who travel between dimensions or even alien technologies that may cause the CONFUSED to conclude they’re seeing a ghost but I’ve never seen one and neither has science and NEITHER HAVE YOU (without aid of some ool drug and a very active imagination). I look around nature and nowhere do I see, for example, an hydrogen atom behaving like something that is not hydrogen. It seems to me we are but energy and energy transforms (ie steam, liquid water, ice) I find it very difficult to believe there’s some energy out there that should behave as something it’s not or follow some strange or unique path. That’s just not how things work! It’s not like once in a while the hydrogen atom takes on the behavior and characteristics of carbon atoms. Thinking the energy of some “special” people who die miserably doesn’t actually follow the path as every other dead entity is asinine. There’s NOTHING in nature that behaves like this except maybe YOUR imagination.
zZz— I congratulate you on a successful He-Man reference. Orko indeed.
I knew Kay would love this post = p
I thought we were just fun.
And Kay, have you never heard of ghost particles?
Oh, and Miles, too funny = )
Ok Kay, I’ll bite. Prove to me God exists… Prove to me that Jesus exists… And no, 2000 year old scribbles and hearsay aren’t proof.
What’s an ool drug?
I’d only welcome a ghost that booed with auto-tune.
Oceanlady “Cool drug”… sorry you couldn’t have guessed that. I now, it’s a real LEAP. It was just a typo, fool.
LOGiC, do you question the validity of history too? How do YOU know King David or Pontious Pilot or even Genghis Kahn lived as a matter of history? Did you meet them? Did they leave you a note? Did you discard the book that said so because it was old? Do you require first-hand proof of our history too? They’re all dead you know? All of them. What do you make of several people who lived during different times in different places all saying/writing the same thing? Mass hysteria? Coercion? Sometimes when coincidence after coincidence after coincidence all point to the same thing coincidence is simply truth.
I see evidence of God each time I observe something that lives but you don’t have to. It’s not proof. unification theory will go long way to quantifying god. Just wait since you can’t connect the dots all by yourself.
But LOGiC, you tell us what is the nature of the universe if not God?
oh shit, look at that. Another typo. Way to fuck with the lady’s head I guess. Cheap thrills.
The fool is you Kay, who has to resort to put-downs to explain yourself. Your cheap thrills are at your own expense since you are the one making a fool of yourself by choosing to repond with put-downs. I wasn’t aware that there are any ‘cool’ drugs, much less ool drugs. Ool could have been an anagram for something for some new drug. I was merely seeking to clarify. And you wonder why people in Nova Scotia have a hard time liking you?!
You Know Oceanlady, kay was the recipient of those tactics when she first started posting on here, you guys just rubbed off on her, good for you.
I wonder how many people read the sentence without knowing what the typo meant yet still got their head around the point, which had little to do with the modifier. You’re right, Haligonians who get hung up on a stupid detail missing the ENTIRE point are very frustrating and I’d rather not know them, lady.
You got great Balls, man. I’m not afraid to say so.
wow, that’s funny kay… I see no evidence of god in anything anywhere….
including the living.
I’m of the mindset that cosmic freak accidents, no-matter what the minuscule odds, happen eventually and though no-one was around to sit and wait the 14 billion years it took us to coincidentally evolve from the debris floating through the vacuum, luckily it happened.
same thing could be true on the other side of the universe at this moment in some quantitatively parallel ‘earth’. We’d never know of its existence with only what we know now, presumably because it would be outside our potentially viewable sphere given the speed of light and it’s vast distance away… but I think could be out there. and if not this time… maybe next time the earth is formed from the same particles and we are reborn with no previous knowledge…. or perhaps maybe we will have some… I dunno.
Truly, I believe anything is possible, just not everything is possible in this specific instant.
I don’t see how your belief negates a God who created the whole thing with purpose. I believe in all of those things you said including parallel universes, multiple planes of existence except the big coincidence part.
It’s okay if you don’t believe in God, zZz. He believes in you. You’ll see
true… there could be some ‘sentient being’ making it all happen.. because everything has to be created right? that’s what the creationists like…. I’m just not sure how God was created then… some other god and you are only referencing god 2.0? or cosmic fluke perhaps to start everything…. can’t really argue either way since there’s no way of knowing… so I believe what I want and you are free to do the same. just don’t knock on my door sunday asking me to believe you.
could god make a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?
he can make anything… but then he can do anything as well… hmmm
would it have hot or mild sauce….? hmmmm?
hold the onions.
Perhaps God created human beings so He could experience a burrito as only a human being can experience a burrito (versus, say, a fly’s experience eating a burrito, which may be just as interesting, only God knows 😛 ).
Yeah, the circular reference over creation of the universe is what makes me conclude God is omnipotent. If I could just shed the ‘linear thinking’ I might be able to imagine the beginning in a different way rather than creation. So far I’m along the lines of “In the beginning there was nothing then nothing realized nothing in itself is something and so burst forth the universe. An helium atom shall behave like this… An hydrogen atom shall behave like that…” and so on.
Oh, and you say creation as if I oppose evolution but I do not. We are talking about the beginning of time, right?
It won’t be me knocking on anyone’s door to impose anything onto you but I might ask a question here and there designed to make you think for yourself. I’m not your average Christian.
Keep asking the questions, ‘seek and ye shall find’
Drugs are ool?
BTW I got my head around whatever point it was you were trying to make. Unique Christian? I think not. I know a lot of Christians who can think beyond what the church doles out in it’s view of theology, myself included. I’ve also known my share of individuals with superiority complexes who consider themselves to be unique. Considering that many people fall into this category their uniqueness is lost. So much for being unique.
a fly gladly eats shit… I’m sure they welcome a burrito much more than any human can imagine.
I would agree there’s room for both creation and evolution for some, though I can’t handle anything knowing exactly how things play out with so many unknowns. I mean, we can’t even handle predicting weather accurate to more than a couple days…
let alone setting up a system 14 billion years ago so that today it will determinedly rain in the specific droplet spots I wanted. I can’t quite make that leap…. it being random and “could have happened this way… could have been one drop less” makes much more sense to me.
Granted, I’m poor at performing stats but understand laws of probability quite well…..
as long as time stays linear, there’s no way of knowing if we could alter how things occur and thus disproving a god… though I suppose then it would be argued that that too was scripted like clockwork.
I dunno, I just don’t like and can’t believe everything is always as it was planned… regardless of how unlikely it seems.
something about that seems too perfect for me and I don’t find things perfect… so I suppose I can’t believe in any one perfect thing.
planned… yikes. I hate the idea of pre-destiny so let’s generalize. A spider has 8 legs. Each of those legs has purpose and function. Break one and, yes the spider lives, but quality of life is compromised. Imagine yourself one of 8 spider legs.
I don’t follow….
if god were omnipotent, why wouldn’t it make everything as it wanted?
“Yeah, the circular reference over creation of the universe is what makes me conclude God is omnipotent” -kay
thus everything is predestined to occur exactly as it was arranged because it already knows what is going to happen… that kinda goes with omnipotence, at least as I understand it.
And this pertains to OP’s bitch how? Sounds like pulpit preaching to me.
(Hey, you’re the one who sent the ‘message’ to Andy that the rest of us are not staying on topic.)
“Perhaps God created human beings so He could experience a burrito as only a human being can experience a burrito”
Does this mean maybe God created Miles to experience sex as only someone in bed with Miles can experience it? I hope not. It’s hard enough to impress the ladies, now I gotta worry about impressing God too? >sigh<
fuck the OP, if they believe in ghosts then there’s no hope for them anyways.
they’re just sleepwalking and refuse to admit it.
and miles, don’t forget he and santa are watching you… nice ‘oh’ face.
Does God experience the gas after the burrito, I wonder?
Miles, if someone in bed with you is screaming, “Oh god, Oh god”, than I doubt God is there with you. If they do not do this…sucks to be you…or rather, sucks to be them. = p
Can all powerful god create a rock so big he couldn’t lift it?…super hot burrito’s etc. etc.
I hate those stupid questions. The way I now look at it is, everyone who argues a case for belief in god, uses the worn out, tired old ‘god created absolutely everything’ crap !
You know that would be really impressive, if it was true. But what IMO would be even more impressive, is the being who created that GOD ! Now that’s one awsome powerful God or Goddess.
Unfortunately mankind created God, & has been reinventing God’s & Godesses as far back as we can find anything we can interpret from those long gone people’s, remains of their culture(s)…too bad more people can’t come to grips with their own mortality, & realise that all the good ideas & morals have come from us, good people who just wanted nice ideals for themselves & others to live by.
As for our present day bible thumpers.
Seeing as the god of the christians didn’t get worked out until 300+ years after Jesus’s supposed life & a pagan Roman Emperor had to get involved…sounds like the lead up to a damn disney movie, & just about as believable !
yeah… those nutters can believe whatever they want… though I suppose just because they’re wrong doesn’t exactly make you right… nor me….
but at least they’re still wrong. 🙂
I believe a lot of history which is written Kay, I don’t however believe in unsubstantiated “miracles” etc. I could go off on a tangent about why I chose not to believe however this is not the place to debate such a topic (frankly I dont have the time, not being a smart ass, I just dont). I also respect your right to believe whatever you chose. You usually back up your responses so I was curious as to how you would explain that one. However as you took issue with my comment, rather then responding with an explanation, you gave me the same drivel everyone else does. As for the origin of the universe? No, I can’t explain it, I won’t however attribute it to some being just because I’m told that it is fact.
As for creation of man, 2 people, one whom was instructed by some talking snake to eat a piece of “forbidden fruit”, sounds like an acid trip to me…
For the record, I know a fair bit about various religions through various research, all of which led me to my current beliefs…
FYI I didn’t send any message to Andy. I simply reported comments that were threatening my child, you DUMB FUCK!
Predestiny is something we could talk about if we didn’t each have the ability to chose. But we do. We’re not animals operating on instinct. We can chose to reject instinct and we often do.
I’d like any of you to speculate on the beginning of time or the universe WITHOUT resorting to “something” that set it all in motion. So, what is your personal take on that? Reject all that’s been forced down your throat and give us a better explanation. I’d hear it.
Each day you manipulate objects despite gravity. Is it really so hard to imagine a person with understanding of the universe so far beyond yours that they manipulate more than objects within gravity?
Is it so hard to get your head around a metaphor that accurately describes the human genome? (man and woman are from the SAME genome) Perhaps it WAS a food that caused a genetic change? We know when we stop eating a certain food genetic changes occur which is why our appendix is quite useless to us now and wisdom teeth unnecessary. Why is it so hard to imagine a food that genetically alters you?
Food for thought!
You are anonymous, which means, you are nobody. How threatening can an anonymous threat be that is directed towards nobody’s child? Not threatening at all. Therefore, you are a tattletale.
Only if my kid sees it (who knows my handle) would such a comment feel threatening. I’m not sure about you but I protect my child from such dialogue. Are you saying Andy’s an idiot for complying, HKM? Careful now.
I would say that Andy is being polite, patient, quite tolerant, and that maybe he gets a little tired of the childishness. It is easier to give a whining child what they want (except when it’s your child, of course : ).
Oh, and your son and daughter are adults now, remember? I’m sure that they could put it into perspective.
You mean you didn’t get spanked? You’re just jealous. He said something to the affect of even the staff wrinkling their noses over the disgusting posts meant to threaten me. FUCK OFF now, okay? Go post a bitch or something. I’m not your friend. I’m not your buddy. PISS OFF
let’s see YOUR perspective… Perhaps we should post something about HKM getting raped by a rusty knife and see how YOU whine about such a thing and how patient and tolerant Andy would be to listen to your “whining”. Just fuck off now, you stupid bitch.
What the hell are you babbling on about? Rusty knives? We were talking about the complaint that comments being made were not directly related to the post.
Andy:
“Right, got the message: can you ALL stay on topic and continue to be scroogey Gerald Keddy-style panhandling haters?”
I don’t know how you got this from that: “He said something to the affect of even the staff wrinkling their noses over the disgusting posts meant to threaten me.”
This is a legitimate question, Kay: if your child is of the age where he still requires protecting from such dialogue, why is he allowed to know your handle, and why is he allowed on this site??
I was wondering what happened to the rest of that thread!
Just to keep this thread on topic, maybe the OP has large rats in the house who only comes out at night. Or maybe fraggles.
kay my dear, i hate to burst your bubble. but, if there was such a thing as god, then why does he let innocent young kids and good people die so young. meanwhile, the crappy people of our society seem to live charmed and long beautiful lives. i talk of murders, rapist, child molesters,need i go on. if there is such a thing as this omnipotent being, why does he not stop all wars and killing, for killings sake. and pulease, do not give me the tired old line of he gives free choice. that’s all this is, free choice. if their is this god, then where also is this evil devil that the book speaks of. is this one more powerful than this god you speak of. if so, then maybe some people are supporting the wrong religion.and what of these men of god,raping and fucking up young kids lives, so that sometime down the road, they do themselves in.please kay,answer us all these questions, without resorting to bullshit in the bible, huh.
the amazing randy is stil waiting to give away a million bucks…if he is still alive
LS, people struggle with “if” there’s a God while expecting at the very same time such a God would hover over the Earth and protect human beings from themselves and what-have-you. Could you get your head around the idea that the “system” was simply created/put into motion WITH purpose by God? Could you make the leap a man like Christ might have had the “talent” to use ALL the parts of the system (appearing to perform miracles) enlightening you to YOUR potential?
Do you have kids? Do you do their homework for them when you see them struggle? No, they have to learn to thrive in the system independent from you. Most of us wouldn’t let them reach out and actually touch that hot stove to learn it’s hot but we might let them get burned if we knew life is everlasting
… as long as…
the idea of judgment doesn’t sit well will me. It doesn’t ring true in my gut to think we’re created to live in fear some bogeyman God-type
…and that’s where I break into science and learn about positive and negative energies acting on natural systems. The strongest/most energetic thrive in such systems. And let’s just say “clean” energy burns the brightest.
but kay, you have not answered one question i asked about this omnipotent god thing you profess to love and believe in. if you do so blindly, then you are just a sheep, being led to a slaughter. there is no proof,tangible proof, that this or any god, for that matter, exists. again i say give me some real proof. not what you hear, read or get told. give me proof positive. have this god of yours and others, create a bottomless pit in the middle of halifax, not the cash based one, that is kelly’s doing there. show me and everyone else, absolute, unimpeachable proof.
How ’bout you keep scratching your head and I’ll just carry on discovering and fulfilling my purpose. Have a look at the double slit experiment and I’ll show you unmitigated proof that what you do MATTERS in the overall scheme of things. The particle knows and cares if you’re watching! The answer to “why does the particle care” will quantify “God” for you… without religious text. LS, what does YOUR gut tell you? No books, no opinions from others… what does your “little voice” tell you?
LS I did provide answers… you asked why a God would “allow” for good people to die. I answered God just set the thing in motion. You tell me why PEOPLE allow for the all the travesty in the world and I’ll show you a natural system with positive AND negative energies at work… and a world lacking in common values and morality as a RESULT of individuals tossing the baby out with the bath water (rejection of religious teachings) Wouldn’t you RATHER know people who take personal responsibility for the condition of the “soul” AND share similar values with you and your family?
sorry kay, not an answer at all,just more blather from some book that tries to con fools.i won’t waste anymore time on this, because you and even the religious zealots have no firm answer. just more blithering and blathering,and no firm foundation to prove the existance of this god/s.no one can supply truth where there isn’t any.i can say that the sky is green,and if you don’t see it that way,then you don’t believe in your god.or how about don’t drink the water,it is forbidden to do that,because i,as your god told you.don’t bother replying kay,i’m not coming back to see what you say.
