As far as I know, I am the only non-Scientologist to ever be on their cruise ship, the Freewind. I was a bit of an oddity, walking around in a robe, sandals, smoking Cuban cigars and drinking fine scotch (Scientologists are not allowed to drink while taking courses). I also got one of the best massages ever. My friends asked if I got a "happy ending." I said, "Yes, I got off the ship."
It's like reading an article by Groucho Marx. I love it!
Out of character for a moment, this is one of the many reasons why I love Europe. You people, seemingly (my observation may be skewed, seeing as I've never been there) don't tolerate nonsense like that. Tell me, are your governments as beholden to corporate interests as the United States government is? I mean, some of the larger companies have our government swinging between their knees.
Unfortunately big business is important power everywhere, but I think that in America it's more obvious than in many other parts of the world.
Even though we live in free market economy people around here are often quite critical towards exploitative capitalism, but AFAIK so are many Americans.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter if they're a religion, a cult, a club or what, they're poisonous and shouldn't be given any credence. Just because an entity is considered a religion doesn't mean we should suspend reason and give it loads of undue respect. That's something most societies tend to do quite a lot. If you want to suppress women and homosexuals then you're obviously evil... unless you're doing it for religious reasons, of course. We should totally respect that because like... y'know... their religion is way old.
But... but... Tom Cruise came up to me on the street and asked me to sign up! He seemed so nice and charismatic!
Tom Cruise seemed nice? Strange, he must have slipped a roofie in your drink.
Sorry, but Cruise really is just a self-absorbed, pretentious prick.
He has done something right, otherwise he couldn't have picked up girls like Penélope Cruz and Katie Holmes. Then again, sometimes you get girls by being self-absorbed, pretentious prick.
Chuck Norris is dead, he just decided to come back for a little while. Kind of like Goku but he told god that the halo was a little too goofy.
[Dragonball Fanboy]Actually, Goku only got to go back with the Halo because he was given a free pass, and then only for a limited period of time. He couldn't just choose to come back whenever he wanted.[/Dragonball Fanboy]

Chuck Noris powerlevel is so high it would drain the time aloud for the free pass in a second like when goku went super sayan 3
