Walsingham

Mind you, I also think you'd be an idiot to deny there's a link between wanting to shoot mass numbers of people and being as mad as a pocket full of sky. Reports in the UK indicate he'd not been taking his meds. WHY IS A KNOWN MENTALIST being allowed a shotgun?

Why the hell can't they crack the encryption? It can't realistically be that hard. "When they came for the Jews I did nothing for I was not a Jew"... Yeah, right. Here's my version: "When they came for the people who liked looking at pictures of babies getting raped I said 'Hell yeah!' And threw jagged chunks of rock at the sick ****s. Because sometimes there are people who should be collected by large unpleasant men in the middle of the night."

I would imagine that, being herbivores, veggies are more likely to get eaten by cannibals. But if you are high iron that could take care of it. Liver is high in iron. Unless you met a cannibal from my family. We all like liver. f-f-f-f-f-f

Quite far.

We had a huge discussion about this sort of thing, iirc. My view shifted slightly during discussion. i can't remember my previous position, but now I'm keen - gun control not being the whole answer - in fact gun control not being the primary answer - in most cases pastoral authorities know who is a banana boat - restricting the access of bedbug loonies to guns is the key thing - those same bedbug loonies also needs to be concert with better psychiatric care for all society.

'Them'? Given how many Muslim members we have I'd have thought 'us' was more accurate...

Let the little terrorist cry over it. They think they're f***ing special when it comes to humor and religion? If someone mooned the Pope would every Catholic who got offended be a terrorist?

Fwooooop!

I usually try and get slimmer arguments than Pop and Guard Dog, but I'm actually enjoying this one. I'd rate it 8/10 for style and 9/10 for substance. I have to agree with Pops stance more, even though I only very recently became aware of Ru Paul. Sure, GD's right in that merely having an endorsement is sometimes unavoidable and bizarre. But Ru seems to be suspiciously concordant with militia nutcases whom I have known very well. And regrettably (given my own fondness for inept gun-rubbing) militiamen are often xenophobic dimlows. On his anti-internationalism, I need hardly wonder out loud why Sand hasn't endorsed him as a candidate, since he also supports a "let's hide under the comforter with a nuke until the World forgets we're here" philosophy.

I got an overdose of anti-vegetarianism from a bloke in my unit who launched into an epic rant over breakfast as we sawed through our eggs. Hilarious, but rather much of a muchness. Animals are for eating, though.

Now Annah was hawt.

I don

Spoken like a wombat, sir.

Well, man-ish...

Well yes, as I have said before, everyone slates organised religion. But the alternative is disorganised religion, which means any fool can come along, claim he is a priest and claim the 'faithful'.

http://www.sheenaeaston.com/ Sheena Easton not only voiced the Planescape Torment character Annah, but is - mentioned in the Fugees lyric: "Inside tough guys are feminine like Sheena Easton." - and is the only performer to appear in the opening theme video for James Bond with For Your Eyes Only - Also voiced characters in the cartoon Gargoyles Ah. the Eighties.

Spoken like a gentleman, sir.

I took the day off work to try and get some rest. this plan failed. I seem to have done just about everything short of actually being in work.

Good luck with that. If the passage of 2000 years hasnt done it, nothing will. Well, Muhammad was born in 570 CE, so your numbers are a bit off. You might claim that 500 years is no big deal, but the Catholic church wasn't exactly a fountain of comedy when it was 1500 years old. Fair point. I think a key point here is who th epeople are, not what religion. Here in the UK very few Muslims had a problem with it beyond annoyance.

I actually feel sorry for Britney. I mean, no more than I would for anyone else, but no less. I think children should be prevented from becoming popstars/filmstars, with the notable exception of Natalie Portman.

I agree that there will be elements opposed to him, especially if he takes a dove-ish stance. But isn't it more likely that he'll be character undermined like whatsisface? Um.. hang on... it'll come to me. Jimmy Carter! He was surrounded by reactionary elements of the administration, particularly after Iran 'fell'.

As an aside, was anyone else devastated to realise that Ru Paul, the Republican candidate was merely an aural freudian slip?

Nah, just to you, mate.

I note also that the recent Jesus themed "lookin good for Jesus" cosmetics row provoked merely snitty remarks from the Christian church. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7241296.stm
