Cran,
You and the Jesuits are gonna have a really great time together.

Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

I don't think I'm going to really be "against" anybody. You make it sound like I'm at war or something, dubhlinn. I'll simply be a dissenter, someone who disagrees with the majority. It's not exactly unfamiliar territory for me, but like all people we'll have more in common than not. I'm sure I won't be the only dissenter, and I'm sure I will be fine even if I am, dandruff and all.

Cran,
I have had the pleasure of a Jesuit education and believe me, they are not into dissent.
They know how to educate very well,but they have dealing with dissenters worked out to a very fine art.
Maybe times have changed,I am 47 now,but somehow I doubt it...

Well Cran I hate to say it, but I think in this case you're probably better off keeping a low profile. I don't know much about Jesuits but if they're anything like they were in James Joyce's days, you're <i>really</i> better off not crossing them. O.o

If the depth of one's personality can be expressed through a scalp condition, what does that say about the depth of one's personality?
We are who we choose to be.
"Reality is the computer hardware, and religions are the operating systems: abstractions that allow us to interact with, and draw meaning from, a reality that would otherwise be incomprehensible."
Eh... not really. Not wholly anyhow. Try telling a schizophrenic that he sees monsters coming out the wall because he chooses to. I'll laugh when you get punched in the gut.
And anyhow, who are you so high and mighty to sit there and judge how other people's personalities so harshly?
*balls up your existential nonsense and shoves it sideways up your nose*

You just made a judgement about me making judgements. Kind of ironic, isn't it?
