Some day I hope to

I want to visit Giza and Teotihuacan so I can see the pyramids of both up close and personal.

Find God again.

Find a beautiful, spiritual, feisty girl-next-door who'll love me and complete me.

Become a director who can make whatever films he wants with no studio interference.

Learn some other languages, especially Welsh, German, Japanese, and ancient Egyptian.

Meet Heather Langenkamp and get an autographed photo taken of us together.

I'd just like to say that though I don't have a problem with pre-marital sex, I do agree with ender that there's too much preoccupation with sex in movies, TV, and music in general these days. If it adds to the story/content, then okay, I'm fine with it. If it's just there to titillate, though, then I don't see any need for it.

Now, with that out of the way, we can let this discussion die for good once and for all. ;-)

FOR THE SINGLE (or widowed or divorced) OTers

With seven-billion people on the planet, it's hard to believe there isn't someone for everybody. As Post Praetorian so wittily implied, though, geography often gets in the way.

Frankly, I think you have a better chance of getting a girl than I do. You seem to have a personality and a sense of ethics a good woman would find appealing; I can't say the same about myself.

Sorry Ender, not sure what you are refering too.

I notice that video has got over 5 million views in a week, so it's clearly getting people engaged. RTE's other uploaded videos with anything like that amount of views are years old.

You can watch the whole episode of 'Meaning of Life' here.

He didn't say anything rabid anti-theists haven't already been saying -- and religionists haven't been hearing -- for decades now. It's old hat.

While we're all discussing sex and the exploration/denial thereof, I'd just like to say that I'd probably be more comfortable with my sexuality and my sexual desires would probably be more normal had my parents not instilled in me the notion that sex -- outside of marriage, in positions other than the missionary position, for reasons other than procreation -- was wrong and sinful.

 I don't think I ever had a conversation with any parent that was even vaguely about sex. 

So I have to ask... did your parents EXPLAIN different sexual positions to you? Was there a diagram of them, with all of them under big red X's except missionary? 

Their moralizing was more implicit than explicit -- comments on sex in TV and movies, in their religious discussions with one another, etc. Nevertheless, sex -- or any kind of sexual desire or stimulation -- outside marriage was branded a big no-no.

In other words: Teaching your kids to repress themselves sexually will turn them into perverts.

On Sunday, 2.5 of the greatest minutes ever were broadcast on Irish Televison...

Stephen Fry on God / The Meaning Of Life / RTÉ One

The slightly horrified looks on the interviewer's (Gay Byrne) face make it all the better.

To borrow the title from Oolon Colluphid's 4th book "Well, That About Wraps It Up For God" ;-)

Four words: blue and orange morality
