Sir, Colonel Sir!
But is there anything for this recruit to drink, Sir?
Perhaps this recruit could offer some Santa Fe Spirits Silver Coyote, at least until the Santa Fe Spirits Sour-Beer-Barrel Single Malt is bottled, next year, Sir?

Well, actually I broke for lunch before I realized that I'd neglected to say to rcfieldz, "Oh, and welcome aboard. Don't get too discouraged if everyone you run into seems to disagree with you. If you actually ask and answer questions and posts, you will be fine. But a thick skin may help. Thar be dragons out there."

Dragons? Oh, noes!
(although, back before I became a veg, I heard there was good eatin' on a dragon, if you got it young enough...)

I keep telling them to get rid of the 'steeplechase' option on the registration page and go back to the more familiar 'jumping through hoops' process but will they listen?

Harumph, I say.

Anyway, that's all behiind you now and it's sane pailing from here on.

Or something.

'Scuse me for asking, but why would you want to chase a steeple? Aren't they connected to churches? You might catch something...
 
Howdy to all the folks who have joined recently. Looking forward to the day you can join me and the other 10+ year folks in the Ten Year Thread.

Overrated Australian peppermints. For some reason there's a lot of Ozophiles around this place.

This will do nicely for an introduction.
:welcome4 Slowvehicle.
Sorry that you were involuntaryily retired. Here, retired schoolteachers can come in quite handy, when trying to sort out all sorts of misinformed individuals. What subjects did you teach?

Not overrated but simply a long-standing and iconic product with accompanying sentimentalism.

Scepticism, challenging authority and dogma are strong in Australian culture hence our numbers here.

I used to teach programming. Asking the obligatory questions at the beginning of a course name, what do you do, experience etc, one delegate announced he was a teacher but wanted to move into IT. I innocently asked what he taught. 'Bastards!' was the reply. :)

And hi Slowvehicle.
 
Hello,

I'm La quiche, from France. I've been lurking on the forum for months, then I decided to become a member.
I am interested in conspiracy theories and religious matters.
 
Hey fellas!

My name is Louigi Verona. I am from Russia. I was a religious person and a person who was a little bit (but not too much) into esoterics, as my parents were introduced to it in the 1990s. Eventually I began to disagree with the esoteric take on life, then went further and eventually became an agnostic atheist.

I have written a very elaborate article on Lazarev, a very known Russian psychic who claims to be able to "see biofields" and diagnose illnesses. It is in Russian though.

My interest here is to seek advice about other known psychics, both in Russia and international, so that if I am not able to analyse some of their feats completely myself, I am able to get good advice from sceptics at JREF.

Cheers!
 
Hello all

I wanted to introduce myself to the community before I started posting. I am 43 years old and work in the management team of a large telecommunications company. I was raised as a Methodist in the buckle of the southern bible belt and at a young age expect to join the ministry. Then I went to college….and things changed. I was exposed to free thinkers for the first time and began to questions the things I was taught. I went through an exploratory phase with religion and philosophy studying everything from Wicca to Buddhism until I finally came to a personal conclusion that none of it made sense. I now consider myself Agnostic because I believe it an unknowable question but live my life without any concern for religion. My friends consider me an atheist and depending on your semantics you could argue it either way.

I am considering becoming involved in skeptical activism with a focus on fostering scientific thinking and basic logic in young adults. Unfortunately, I find most many adults to be entrenched in their own philosophy and while they are open to debate they are not open to actually evolving their own worldview. I do not have the time or energy to debate with someone who is not flexible in their thought process.

I am hoping to network within the community and find an organization with the same focus as mine or working on bringing together like minded people to start from scratch.
