Friday Bonus; fact of the day!
Laughing relaxes and expands blood vessels which helps protect the heart, so just laugh at them and feel better about yourself.

So GF,the important part of what your saying,since expanding blood vessels are a by product of more produced CO2 in the body and the relaxing of the vessels means laughing will give you better stronger erections.Godfather. said:

I just watched this show. I simply don't understand how intelligent human being would fall for this. I still have no idea what these people actually believe in. What church send you to "jail" for saying anything negative. This is truly unbelievable.
Are any of you MT people scientologist? I have a thousand questions. Most of them are why?0 -

I thought she was smarter also.
Cruise is a master at his craft.But probably is blinded by status and power as a real person and lives with a sense of entitlement.I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.

Do you think they really believe this garbage, or are they just in it to get ahead? The contacts in Hollywood alone might be worth putting up with it, for an actor.rr165892 said:

My brother's a borderline genius, and he's a born again christian who believes gays are the work of the devil. so I don't think it's totally accurate to say that intelligence really factors into it.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
This is the puzzling aspect of religion for me: in many cases, you have very intelligent people caught up in beliefs that simply defy logic and science.HughFreakingDillon said:

Introduced at an early age, one can understand why a person would embrace and hold tight what was taught to them while they were influential. Your brother- according to you- is near genius and is 'born again'. These type of cases baffle me.
