    Well it started off as R&B became soul and then suddenly became R & B again

    Does that help

    Don't ask about Northern Soul, or we will be here al night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    when you sneeze thats your soul trying to escape, saying god bless you crams it back in!
    and it can swim, its even got wheels in case you die in the desert




    :pac: :D:)

    When you sneeze thats your soul trying to escape, and saying bless you forces it back in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Who can say?

    I certainly feel that I do, but I'm always fully aware that this sense, and even my own sense of consciousness, might simply be a creation of the electrical impulses in my brain, and thus an entirely physical thing which creates a sense of something beyond the physical.

    However, I have noticed that I usually weigh less after I go to the bathroom in the morning, so it's highly probable that that weight difference is due to my soul leaving my body.


  • Registered Users Posts: 734 ✭✭✭builttospill


    The word "soul" pisses me off. It's essentially a buzzword ala "energy" to describe a host of characteristics that are actually formed in the brain. Back in primitive times when very little was known about the brain, people would automatically think that any kind of courage, emotion or morality etc a person had came from their "soul"- a simple, religious explanation for something they couldn't fathom. Well no, all these things are born out of the complexities of the brain so there is absolutely no such thing as a soul-just one's brain which makes us tick on a spiritual level.

    Soul is just a nice airy-fairy word to sum up all of these emotions. I mean can someone tell me where it can be found or will I be given a load of astral mumbo jumbo that is in no way tangible with science?

    You can only see it when you open your third eye and look into the heart of hearts of the collective consciousness of humanity.

    Silly guy believing the scientists because they have degrees. Can you tell me where the courage factory exists in this brain you speak of. Oh the courage organ . Could be the medula oblumgata i suppose. Crocodiles are angry because they have all them teeth and nobody to brush them.

    You should probably try read the post again after the quote that preceeds the post. If this does not put things in perspective for you , I probably couldnt . I also find saying what are you on about is alot more civil than saying what the **** are you on about , maybe because my soul is more sensitive than yours.

    I had one, but I traded it for a pack of twenty menthols. Some guy with hooves, didn't say what he needed it for.

    Soul: A persons moral or emotional nature or sense of identity. That'll die with me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    I'm worm food that's still in the manufacturing stage. Nothing more.
    Hooray for low self-esteem?

    I always found the whole "I'm just worm food" thing a bit strange. Surely no one in their right mind could possibly consider themselves as being nothing more than "worm food in the manufacturing stage".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    Checked the poll, majority insisting they have no soul. I rest my case.
