Throughout the world the greatest problem facing mankind (other than overpopulation) is adherence to irrational beliefs. We’ve tried reason but people are unreasonable. We’ve tried education but people are too stooopid to lean anything that contradicts their beliefs. We’ve tried war but all that accomplishes is to increase the birthrate of the survivors. Since all else has failed; in my opinion, ridicule is the best response to the ridiculous.
SW (Insert cartoon of the Prophet here) From: Texascavers <texascavers-boun...@texascavers.com> On Behalf Of tra...@oztotl.com Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2018 12:03 AM To: texascavers@texascavers.com Subject: Re: [Texascavers] This day in speleo-history It is a free country yes, true. This caving forum never ceases to amaze me though. I don’t understand why it seems so fun to make fun of other people’s beliefs on this -caving- forum. To those who don’t believe, these sort of gests can be brushed off as mentioned below ‘lighten up’. But to those who do, it is a deep seeded offense that can’t be brushed off. The people on this email thread are you fellow cavers and friends. I guess it is ok to offend and make fun of your friends? I know, I know. Lighten up its just a joke right? I know that there are several cavers who agree that this is not a joking matter who just choose not to get in a flame war over email. I have no intentions on getting in one either. I just had to ask, one more time, again, for the basics elements of respect for your peers.. Anyways, this has been a trend for years and frankly, its something I don’t need filling my inbox and causing strife on Good Friday. I’m out y’all, peace… Travis From: Texascavers <texascavers-boun...@texascavers.com <mailto:texascavers-boun...@texascavers.com> > On Behalf Of Michael Gibbons Sent: Friday, March 30, 2018 9:40 PM To: texascavers@texascavers.com <mailto:texascavers@texascavers.com> Subject: Re: [Texascavers] This day in speleo-history It ain't religion boss. Haven't been to church in 40 plus years. Its a way of life. Sorry it makes you uncomfortable but it is no reason to chastise David. For the record it's a free country. I like David's weird ass outlooks. Face it we're all a half a bubble left of plumb. Lighten up a little did the rabbit crap in your Easter egg.
