But at least he wasn't so cretinous that he puts an apostrophe in "sounds". However, I do happen to entirely agree with you, and applaud your use of the word "cretin".

But if the future is set in stone, then isn't this the so called grandfather paradox, which basically says that if backwards time-travel were possible, you couldn't do anything that would knowingly affect time. Thus, you couldn't kill your own grandfather. If you tried to shoot him, the gun...

Whilst you do have a point about how aggressively discriminating against the ridiculousness of the BNP is by it's very nature curtailing the freedom of speech, there are plenty of legitimate reasons not to vote BNP apart from their allegedly racist stances! Firstly, we'll ignore the public...

It's been like that through the ages though. Our parents were the violent, rampaging football hooligans of the 80's. Their parents were the sexually promiscuous, drug taking hippies of the 60's. Their parents were the barbarians in the grip of the ultimate technological evil that is...

But how do you define "deliberately" exploiting the system? Whilst squirming around like a high class hooker on Question Time, Margaret Beckett claimed she made mistakes on her returns because when she was busy, she didn't pay enough attention to it, assuming the fees office would sort it...

This budget thing will never work. Firstly, what's stopping for example, Force India and Toro Rosso from compliance with the cap, complete loads of testing and feed some of the results back to Mercedes and Ferrari, who will eventually pass it on to the Mclaren and Ferrari works team? But...

I'm glad Rollercoaster is coming back because although the old trains had the no restraints novelty, it was a bit dull (although historically interesting and a worthy addition to the line up) but with the new train, the ride is very much improved, certainly better than the Big Dipper.

Yes, but if you're not careful, you can do that and end up enjoying a Michael Bay film by accident.

But as Ian was saying, he £30-£60 cost would go towards the costs of setting up such a massive system, which will probably need a separate government branch to deal with it. Anyway, I'm against the system, as I see it as an invasion of my civil liberties for no gain, and also a dangerous...

It was all going so well, right up until the time that Kirk ended up on Delta Vega, then it all started unravelling from there on in, which is a shame as it was exceeding my expectations until that point. Now I come to think about it more, there were problems before that, such as the fight on...

Cajun Squirrel were only only ones I liked, probably because they tasted of "flavouring". They had no discernable flavour and the ingredients list was just spice. But that's how crisps should be, they should taste like crisps, not like fish and chips, which if I want to eat, I'll go to the chip...

Actually, there's plenty wrong with it. Namely the fact that is tries to stifle intelligent and rational scientific debate with ancient superstition and unquestioning obedience. It's an organisation that enables intolerance to the point of Middle Eastern societies stoning adulterous women to...

Well yes, and I'm glad you pluralised the word pictures, because if you use a thousand words per picture as the conversion rate, I estimate you'll need about 10 or so of these pictures. Anyway, my counter example is that if God was to personally come down from the heavens and appear before me...

Just because you don't have a reason to believe, it doesn't mean there aren't any reason for belief in the teapot. In any case, I'm going to have to put this back onto you as I don't think you were quoted out of context. You did state that there is no reason to believe in Russell's teapot...

Has Kovalainen actually got any points to lose yet? He really is far too slow and not nearly competitive enough to be a racing driver. Anyway, the only thing worth mentioning about the weekend's snoozefest was this quote from Jake Humphrey about the constructors standings: "At the moment...

Why isn't there a reason to believe in Russell's teapot? Even if you ignore the fact that most religious arguments inevitably boil down to "just because" I think there's a massive contradiction here, "just because" is most definitely a reason to believe, at any rate, it's definitely enough to...

Every year there's a comparison between St Patrick's Day and St George's Day by someone, it's almost as inevitable as people assuming that everyone is celebrating St Patrick's Day when in fact, 95% of them are just out to take advantage of promotional drinks prices, that just happen to fall on...

What do you mean "even" Spain? Careful not to sling round accidental defamation! And why bring black people into this, the statistics present quite a compelling case without you needing to bleat about discrimination. Furthermore, the blood service is stretched enough as it is without existing...

Looking at the statistics, it appears that 40% of HIV infection occurs in gay males, which make up approximately 6% of the population. It seems to me to make good statistical sense to block 6% of possible blood donations in order to block 40% of the possible infections. Of course, this ban...

Of course it's OK for parents to do that (well as much as it's ever OK to teach your children blatant untruths etc etc etc :P ) but my point is that whilst this is occuring, it's not really correct to say that the children has made the conscious decision to be religious, they are simply doing...
