Lots and lots on this topic all over the place > Start here, here and here and here (is where it started, i think) and here and here and here.

If torture is fine, then why don’t we do it. Get the info quick, the war on terra is relentless.

bbc Have your say thing quote.

BBC NEWS | Have Your Say: Do you support civil partnerships? …

Can I also just add to everyone trotting out the “adam and Steve” line that this is actually a quotation from an ALAN PARTRIDGE tv programme - so frankly, the joke is on you.

Watching the news, this news was great, some of the stuff the protestors were shouting - i just don’t get it. I shouted at the tv for a bit and that made me feel a bit better. I’ve never been a fan of religion. I just don’t think it’s for me. But i’ve always thought your god loves everyone, every single person. Though i don’t think that’s the point, if some christians. I don’t care. They can take their marriage and shove it up their arses really. Civil partnership me up please. Is marriage a religious thing then?

  • Bowling up to a 192, last ball robbed me of a 200.

  • The weight of the evidence clearly demonstrates, as noted, that the systemic change from “creation” to “intelligent design” occurred sometime in 1987, after the Supreme Court’s important Edwards decision. This compelling evidence strongly supports Plaintiffs’ assertion that ID is creationism re-labeled.

  • If there was one carol service i could go do to, it would be this one, though there is this caveat:

    Please note that if you attend this carol service, it will classify as a spontaneous demonstration (of faith, hope, joy and/or religious tolerance) and there is a possibility that you will be cautioned or arrested under Section 132 of the Serious and Organised Crimes and Police Act 2005

    Torture.

    without comments

    If torture is acceptable then why not regulate it?

    My suggestion, then, is that if torture really did work - was more than frottage of some primitive part of the brain that delights in power and hurt - it wouldn’t be practised in the shadows. As it is.

    A peace campaigner has been convicted under a new law banning unauthorised protests from taking place within half a mile of Westminster.
    Maya Anne Evans, 25, a vegan cook from Hastings, was found guilty of breaching Section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act.

    She was arrested in October after reading out names of soldiers killed in Iraq at central London’s Cenotaph.

    l;ink
    Serious organised crime?!

    Freeware.

    without comments

    I mean, i could pirate software (it’s been known to happen) but really, you just don’t need to i think. So much good stuff out there that does what you want and for that i’m most grateful. I say this in light of AudioGizmo ringtone creator which i’ve just started using to make me up some mp3 ringtones from larger mp3s. Awesome.

    Other freeware that is great > Firefox, Foxit - Kicks Adobe around quite easily, it’s small, opens quickly and is easy to download and you can read and print pdfs with it. Done. It’s a shame Adobe gets forced on people really.
