    How far is too far?

    He got pulled for a variety of reasons. One of the things is that unlike South Park, who draw in caricatures of their celebrity guests, Imus got big names on his show. People with money, power, and influence. That was a big part of the show. By tarnishing the show in any way, he jeopardized...

    Honesty --- The Best Policy?

    Oh, I don't mean little white lies. I mean if you're really going to become good at lying, you learn to mix just enough truth in with the lies in order to make them believable. Starting out, go with about an 80%/20% ratio of truth to fallacy, but as you get better at it, cut back on the truth...

    Coke or Water?

    I drink only beer and wine, about a case of each per day. I prefer the beer with my name on it, as you'll see in my signature, and for a wine a good white shiraz.

    What happens when you die?

    Some scientists chalk this up to a chemical in the brain similar to or even identical to the massive hallucinogen DMT being released either right before or right after the actual physical death or near death. They say this also explains the tunnel and/or white light.

    Do bad people deserve second chances?

    If they are not bad people, why would it even be necessary to jail or execute them? There is nothing wrong with them, they just made some poor choices, correct? All you need to do is persuade them to make better choices with their lives. On the other hand, if you execute them, are you not...

    Do you believe in the Devil?

    It's unfortunate that you are unfamiliar with Hebrew, Koine Greek, and even Persian. What you are quoting are actually translations of translations, and not at all accurate. This brief quote should familiarize you with one brief aspect of the linguistic concept of Satan: Satan is to be better...

    Honesty --- The Best Policy?

    Some called me the father of lies, but I've found if you really want to manipulate or hurt someone, you tell them the dead truth. Then again, I would have to say that the best lies are half-truths.

    Do you believe in the Devil?

    You ever read Huyman's book, La Bas, out of curiousity? Supposedly he was present at black masses where the devil actually appeared. It was what made him eventually become a monk and devoutly Christian, because he figured it the devil were real, then so was god.

    What happens when you die?

    I can tell you exactly what happens when you die. First you get really stiff, then you turn funny colours. Then you begin to stink. Usually someone buries you, and you slowly rot and are eaten by various organisms until only your bones are left.

    Do you believe in God?

    No, everything you know cannot be explained through science. Well, maybe everything you personally know can be, but there are things that go beyond science, and situations where science has to admit its current limitations.

    Do you believe that maybe we get forced into believing in any Religion

    I know that I certainly didn't get forced into believing a certain religion, that's for sure, but it's a typically human practice since the beginning of time. Converted by the sword, so to speak, even if there isn't always a literal sword involved.
