The Alcor Store is now offering a sales line of Cyro-Crystal desktop globes.
So far, the line-up of severed heads is limited to a waxwork of Timothy Leary's frozen head.
If you would like your head to be displayed in waxwork format, inside one of these Cyro-Crystal globes, then contact the ... um ... heads of Alcor.

Just another little attempt at condescending cleverness from what I can see.

I notice you do not actually post answers when people respond to your comments, Casanova. It's so much easier to sit back and chuckle patronisingly from the mountaintop of wisdom and life experience isn't it?

These little jokes are great for you aren't they? If they are ignored by the rest of the posters you get to feel smugly superior. We simply don't get 'the irony of it all'

If someone responds with irritation like myself, you still get to feel smug and superior. Look how uptight these atheist Technology worshippers are! Clearly they lack a sense of humor.

Rather than trying to bait people, why not try engaging in constructive dialogue.

In the past I have posted a serious responses to your criticisms of the goals of this online community

http://www.imminst.o...=2&t=1232&st=12

You have not responded, yet in another thread I see you arguing the same tired 'atheism is the blame for Marxism' line I have already refuted.

I have absolutely no problem with you taking a skeptical or negative view of the positions held by most of us. But it would be nice if you came down from your mountaintop to discuss it with us rather than throw sneering little barbs down from on high.

Klein,

Yes, just kidding.
It's healthy to laugh at ourselves. The first sign of fanaticism is the inability, to laugh at oneself, or at our beliefs, and ideas.
The British Christian, turned Buddhist, Alan Watts, said that the first thing he did upon awaking each day, was to laugh.

As for Upsidedown, or whatever that unsername is, I HAVE explained elsewhere that I have little patience with fanatical true believers, of any kind, atheist, religious, or whatever.
And for excuse makers.

Marxism, and atheism, are kid brothers. You can't have Marxism without atheism. Atheism's creed is the same as Marxism's, "the opiate the masses is religion"
I say, the opiate of Atheism is materialism/consumerism.

I'll say it again, without atheism, to give it fuel, Marxism would have died a still birth. Atheism is not innocent, it is a monstrously bloody ideology that has created far greater suffering, and destruction, than any religious system ever has.

Worse, athesism is a horizontal belief system, that jetisons the vertical dimension in human life, both the depth psychological, and the upward reach towards Spirit.
Atheism turns human life into a flatland of boredom, and meaninglessness.
And Sartre's silly defense of atheism is worthless. Humans beings require something better than themselves, to guide them toward greatness; God.
Without God, we have only each other as guiding mentors; and as we have seen over, and over, again, all that that eventually takes us to are the Gulags.
Atheism is a failure; aren't hundreds of millions of butchered human beings enough for you?

BTW I laughed a lot when I saw Timothy Leary's head but I was curious to let the joke ride and see how others would react. [g:)]

Will you keep some room in the bottle for G. Gordon Liddy's head too [?]

Together they would lend a whole new dimension to the “talking heads” and a whole new series of Sunday news analysis shows of “The Undying Debates” by frozen intellects, fixed forever in their spheres of consciousness, but of course we could add reality news to a backdrop of your hated rock and roll. [":)]

Also as a question of taste Wild Turkey 101 is definitely superior as it is both smoother and dryer, thus more desirable for sipping. I personally never mix my poison, so I prefer that which is palatable straight. [B)]

That's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever read!

I thought this was an intelligent forum not a babbling bunch of cliched humor
