In Britain, the asylum seeker problem is made out to be so much worse than it is. Britain has problems, but it's so much easier to just blame foreigners than actually address them....  [Read More]

It's all about the election. Labour has got the moderates' vote, as well as die-hard Labour voters. Conservatives don't really have a chance in appealing to moderates, so now they're trying to appeal to right-wing extremeists, that would otherwise vo...  [Read More]

The deadline is 2030. If we haven't seriously curbed our CO2 emissions by then, we'll be incurring irreversible damage. And the world is basically looking at the US, the largest consumer of fossil fuels....  [Read More]

To the first point - Hmm, I dunno, having two tournaments in close succession sort of makes it less special. I'll talk to Huz about it. I do think that the weekend is the best time.. But hmm.. To the second point - Hmm, that's a good idea. I have no...  [Read More]

Hmm, the poll says Friday is most popular, which is odd because I would have thought people would be out doing stuff on Friday nights. Like I am. I can't do Friday. :-\ What do people think about SUNDAY at about 20:00?...  [Read More]

Our first cunning plan was an Unreal Tournament match next weekend - that's the 4th and 5th of September, mangs. I think Huz developed a momentary psychotic episode and typed "and" in an undoubtedly drug-induced fit of masochistic crazine...  [Read More]

I like the nice alliteration of his name. Other than that, I'm not really a big fan. I haven't seen Fahrenheit 911 (though I must say I was very amused by the title. it is quite clever, considering the content of Fahrenheit 457), but I plan to see it...  [Read More]

uh, you lot seem to have completely missed the entire point of the analogy. Okay, there's a fourth friend. That friend doesn't like or dislike apples, nor does he like or dislike spaghetti. He doesn't really care about either. For him, the food they...  [Read More]

Now imagine you've got another friend, a friend that loves apples. You don't really care about apples. You don't particularly like apples, you don't particularly dislike apples. Apples are just apples. You have a friend that loves apples. Now, you...  [Read More]

Ah right, so you find "homosexuality" gross, but you have no problem with "homosexuals". This sounds all nice and everything, but it makes no sense. Imagine that you're at work, and you work with a gay guy. Imagine you work with...  [Read More]

If all this makes me a bigot, you can cram it up your ass. Heh. Sorry, the whole "well it's MY opinion" line just doesn't cut it. There is no good reason to dislike homosexuals, or find them "gross". Really, the only argume...  [Read More]

Theologically, I think it's difficult to try and convince Christians, Jews or Muslims that homosexuals are equals. Playing the 'misinterpretation' card is usually safe but Christians, Jews and Muslims all seem to agree pretty strongly that consider...  [Read More]

When I was in Egypt, I found it very interesting that the Egyptian newspapers never used the word "terrorist". They were not particularly anti-American either, but they always made references to the groups by name. I too think the Bushism...  [Read More]

Saying "Saddam Hussein was a bad guy so we have to get rid of him" is niave and unrealistic. You have to look at alternatives. Iraq is not Britain, Iraq is not America, Iraq will never be either and nor would Iraqis want that. Iraq is no...  [Read More]
