'Her suggestion that head dress be banned in schools is nothing short of ignorance on a massive scale.' I agree wholeheartedly. The depressing thing is that it didn't stop the French.
'BTW this isn't a grandiose statement, so no ill-willed comments needed.' Lucas, no ill-will intended, but just because you SAY it isn't a grandiose statement doesn't mean you're right! Far be it from me to scupper your dreams, but what with all the babysitting, the football training, the two (count 'em!) novels you're writing ... when would you ever find the time to go to acting classes?
'It is a by product of cooking potatoes at high temperatures! In other words, Mother nature put the stupid thing in there!' I don't necessarily disagree with your point, Dr. Guy, but when did Mother Nature start cooking potatoes at high temperatures?
I'm not a Texan. I'm not even American. But we all know how corrupt the Western political process is, and I'd be proud to corrupt it just a little further by casting my illegitimate vote for the Kinkster! (Or failing that, for one of those beauticians he mentioned. )
'Have you ever vented or written something venting your anger only to realize after-the-fact, you feel like a big dope.....' But of course! As you said, 'It's a rant'. You're allowed!
' *sigh*...oh how I love that Furry Canary.....' Did I mention that I am often mistaken for Rowan Atkinson?
'Btw, why the hell do you have your content bar on the left? lol' Laugh? I had to wring my socks out!
'Does any one believe me when i posted about who i really am?' Lucas, you appear to have learned absolutely nothing. You're obviously still completely preoccupied with the way you are perceived by others. If no-one does believe you, what are you going to do - reinvent yourself yet again, peddle one more fiction? Many of the contributors to your threads have taken the time and the trouble to give you sound advice on sorting yourself ou
'Well, it's just the repetition of the question that bothers me.' Presumably though, no one is actually repeating it - that is to say, it's a different person asking the question each time. Consider people with unusual names. Others may ask them about their names, or even joke about them. Sometimes, I'm sure, these people must feel like responding 'Don't bother, I've heard them all!' Nevertheless, there's generally nothing malicious in it. The oth
' Talk about a bug in the system...here we have a "super elite" that can't even spell "Speech."' How true, LW. Not to mention: should of not acknowledge - assasination - foriegn - pend - one mans opinion - rolling in their grave - would of - YOUR NOT - thats right - a apology - should of not - a apology - rambel? Lucas - is that you?
Self-loathing? I always perceived this more as Britons' ability to CRITICISE themselves and their country without being subjected to knee-jerk accusations of being unpatriotic from those around them.
'His comments remind me of some of the stupid things Anthony Mundene said after 9/11 which sound a lot worse then I think he actually meant.' Anthony Mundine may not be one of the great thinkers of the Western World, but I don't remember him saying anything stupid. His suggestion that the events of 11 September were caused by prior actions of the West may have been unpalatable to the political powers that be, but that doesn't make them stupid.</fon
Hi Champas - interesting blog. This issue has really rattled your cage, hasn't it? Now, I wouldn't for a moment support banning use of the term 'mate'. (In fact, I don't think I'd BAN the use of any expression, no matter how offensive, so much as attempt to educate against its use - but that's an argument for elsewhere.) However, I would point out that the term 'mate' in itself is not necessarily ALL positive. Yes, it can be used as a nice, ge
Your anger here Lucas appears to be because people you consider to be ethical, moral and upstanding are being shafted by a corrupt and selfish world, rather than rewarded for their constancy. Well, yes. Sad, but often the case. The world IS frequently a corrupt and morally bankrupt place. Take politics, for example. 'Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely' runs the old adage. Much truth there, I think. I see precious few politic
I think I've done this to you before Dusk, and I apologise if I sound nit-picky, but I think you'll find that the Thompson Twins' male vocalist was not Pete Dodd (who he?) but Tom Bailey. (That said, I have a vague memory that the lyrics, in this case at least, were written by Alannah Currie.)
'ok furry.. charles I can get behind but, holly hunter? come on!' Personal preference is a hard thing to qualify. That said, what I like about Holly Hunter (and others for that matter - eg. Debra Winger) is that she becomes so immersed in each individual role you could be forgiven for failing to notice it was the same actor. Compare to, say, Jack Nicholson, John Wayne, even (much that I like her) Katherine Hepburn etc. Not that they aren't e
Just to get back on track here ... Male: Charles Laughton Female: Holly Hunter
A man walked into a doctor's surgery with a steering wheel down his trousers. 'That looks uncomfortable!' exclaimed the doctor. 'Yeah,' said the man, 'It's driving me nuts.'
Whoops ... perhaps I'll correct my mistake before anybody else does ... Garth Brooks doesn't have a degree in Marketing, but in Advertising. However, I don't think this undermines my argument much! Chris Gaines, anyone?
Isn't it the case that Garth Brooks has a degree in Marketing? I don't think he's 'sold out' - rather, I suspect he's always known EXACTLY what he was doing!
'Because of that your alst statement is ludicrous. The fact that I really have no religious beliefs at this point make it so.' You believe in creationism and intelligent design, yet have no religious beliefs? Er ... does not really compute! 'And as far as your comments, did you even read the linkl' Indeed yes. A site devoted to extrapolating and perverting dubious science in order to support a doctrinaire interpretation of Genesis
Now, surely the key word here is 'belief'. Why do you feel the need even to claim 'very firm facts and evidence' - even if they might exist - to support something that is a matter of personal faith? You say you have a belief in 'supernatural design' - by definition, this is not susceptible to scientific enquiry, as it is 'supernatural'. I also think you have scientific method completely the wrong way round. Science does not involve adopting an
'No, by the very article itself, the Guardian is saying "The Evidence supports".' I can find precious little 'hypothesising' or 'theorising' in the Guardian's news articles. eg. They report the latest evidence from CCTV as showing de Menezes carrying no rucksack and dressed in a denim jacket, picking up a free Metro newspaper and calmly passing through the station barrier. It hardly requires a great leap of faith / opinion / hypothesis / theor
'When you come up with a credible source, I will listen to you.' Are you joking? It's pretty hard at the moment to find any source whatsoever that says anything to the contrary! Still, once more with feeling ... let's just wait for the outcome of the investigation, shall we?
'I would have to say that operating in a combat zone is expensive, even to Halliburtan.' That would explain why they were so reluctant to get involved ...
