Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

HOMO-phobia

Popular Catholic art. Even the greatest Catholic art is gay as a handbag full of rainbows. A profound cognitive dissonance there on the part of the homophobic Church, but I believe connected with the other repressions it practices (speaking as an ex-Catholic). Somehow reminds me of all the Liberace fans who vehemently denied he was gay.
Just because you don't like homosexuals doesn't make you a homophobe. I know this because some christians have been telling me this for years.
Some of my best friends are christians.
Some of my best friends are christians.
So, perhaps surprisingly, are some of mine but they tend not to be the homophobic ones
Some of my best friends are christians.
You wouldn't want your son or daughter becoming one, though.
I had a conversation with a Christian and he told me not to be judgmental off his views on homosexuals. I asked if he wasn't being judgmental. He said that he didn't judge homosexuals at all it was god that judged them.

Cocoesitinerephobia – fear of fuckin’ coconuts in the middle of the road when riding a motorbike at 80 km/h at 2 o’clock in the morning.

I'm a phobia- phobe, but undoubtedly hydro-phobia is the worst of all phobias to phobe out on as it may indicate you have rabies.

Isn't phobophobia, the fear of having a fucking phobia in the first place?

It's the fear of developing an irrational fear....which is of course irrational :D

Centipedes. Big, fast, turn on a dime, poisonous, hard to kill, and they come up out of the sewers.

Eeewwwww.

I hate centipedes.

Not to be confused with millipedes, which are kind of cute.
