Pigs can fly.
Edited on Mon May-23-11 06:52 AM by howard112211
I have no evidence that they can fly any I have never seen one fly, but I know it in my heart that they can fly. I don't need proof because science can't explain everything.

I demand that my point of view, that pigs can fly, be taken seriously. It should at the very least be treated on equal footing with the theory that pigs cannot fly, which is, after all, just a theory. I demand that politicians give constant recognition to my view. I demand that schools recognize it and that scientists acknowledge that my view is just as good as theirs, or even better. I shouldn't be forced to pay any taxes while telling people that pigs can fly.

Anyone who thinks this is nuts is an intolerant bigot (just like Hitler and Stalin, who also didn't believe pigs could fly) who wants to persecute me.

But hey, anyone who thinks that it is goats who can fly and not pigs is just a crazy crackpot. I mean, how likely is that?

2. now now
better be careful.

you don't want to join with those of us who have been called intolerant bigots because we happen to think that people who believe things that have be known to be false for hundreds of years are not exactly informed and, therefore, don't really have things to say about certain topics worth hearing.

and, hey, supply side economics are a matter of faith too - in spite of the reality of 30 years that prove this belief is a lie as well.

but you better not say that or someone will think you're an intolerant bigot. all beliefs must be respected, no matter how much harm they do to others - in some world in which those who hold those beliefs don't want to be held accountable for the harm they do.

4. A belief never does harm
It is what you interpret and think that belief is telling you to do.

And most 'beliefs' include the component of what the person wants to believe also, for other reasons, then people use the excuse of a belief to do what ever they want.

7. Brother Howard! I, too, have seen the light!
An angel gave me some golden tablets upon which was written the truth of the flying pig. I copied them, and then the angel took them back to whoeffinknowswhere.

Come share this miraculous revelation!

Meetings of the First Congregation of the Great Flying Pig are held on the Holy Day of Monday at the intersection of GD and the DU Lounge.

There, we will discuss how to gain mass political power so that we can force the truth of the flying pig into the impressionable minds of the heathen school children.

Minimum donations are $100 at the door. Make checks payable to the Temple of the Flying Republican Pig Foundation.

Truth don't come cheap, right, brother? Heh-heh.

9. You Porcine Designers, always good for a laugh.
Pigs flying? What a laugh! Or, I would laugh, if you weren't distracting us from the real threat.

Once pigs start operating submarines we are DOOMED!

17. The most blasphemous thing I ever heard!
Everyone with any clue knows that our sainted Ham and bacon-providing brethren are quite adept at breathing underwater and would never engage in the devil-inspired practice of submarining!

14. And according to your avatar -
You have photographic proof!

Proof, I say!

I too would have proof but I tend to take photos of either camera strap or fingers, rather than object I am aiming for.

15. Apparently you are trying to compare the philosophical stance of Idealism with pigs flying which
means you are philosophically illiterate.

16. The Pig Doctrine is a false one
and you are a false prophet and a heretic. Everyone knows HORSES are the only true flyers. Even the Greeks accepted our doctrine as truth long before we came up with it, and incorporated it into their mythology. And if Satan went to all that trouble to go back in time and plant false myths to confuse the truth of the Winged Horse before it even happened, you know it MUST be true!

21. I have witnessed this, and I should be recognized as a Superior
in all matters pertaining to the Flying Pig.



Worship services will consist of you walking by and me sitting quietly in the background, crushing your head.

24. I also know that those who claim pigs can't fly are a religion
because it hurts my feelings so badly when they say that.

26. I'm Apig
Edited on Mon May-23-11 09:49 PM by Sky Llama
Because I don't believe in pigs let alone flying ones. Those who believe in flying pigs have tried to make me believe but they never will!

Those who believe in flying pigs are foolish.

28. And you need to rub that in everyones face, yes?
You militant apigs are a self-indulging crowd. You are just as intolerant as the radical wing of pig followers.

29. But will pigs fly on October 21st, that is the question
We know they didn't fly on May 21st, but that doesn't mean they won't on October 21st.
