Catholic Church Excommunicates Rape Victim's Mother BBC story I mean, what the fuck. She is 9 years old! What kind of a faith allows such a thing to happen? She could not have survived the pregnancy, as well as the fact she was raped by her stepfather. And what does the Catholic church do when the girl's mother and doctors do the only thing possible (and right) in the situation? Excommunicate them. All I can say is at least they are out of the madhouse. I mean really, I cannot possibly fathom how anyone could belief in this shit.

I'm away to watch The Big Bang Theory. Nerd humour is GO.
My maths teacher will not be too amused to hear that you all distracted me from doing her homework.
If you all aren't going to post, then I'll have to make up for it by making lots of new threads.

[I am eating grapes] That is all.
How many theists who believe in some form of afterlife do so because they are afraid of death? Afraid that when they die they will simply cease to be and they can't accept that as being true, or can't handle the thought of it. And be honest please, after all "Honesty is the best policy" (as well as being forbidden in the ten commandments for all you Christians out there).
The British Empire was one of the best things to happen to the world and we would be much better off with it back in force. Discuss.
Free speech is something that seems to very important to many people. People use it to speak their opinions on any topic without fear of reprisal. But many people also forget that it is a two way street. For example, when I added my current signature there were several people who were offended and asked that I remove it. What happened to free speech then? They forget, however, that they have just removed their own right of protection. You can't run for the cover of a law that you have just torn down using your all-encompassing "right to not be offended". Another example would be many organised religions. There are those that say that anyone who does not believe in their particular strain of monotheism is going to burn in hell. People could quite easily find this offensive, but they have a right to say it because of free speech. However, as soon as one person tries to criticise back at them, the monotheists run to hide behind hate speech legislation. How can this be seen as fair? It is a two way street. You wish to have your right to free speech respected then you respect the right of free speech of others. It does not matter if you find it offensive. Who are you to decide what is offensive and what is not? What makes you so special? There is not one being in the world that can decide what is offensive and what is not. But it our laws seem to require such a being to decide this for each and every one of us. But I say no such being exists or will ever exist. Now I know many people will turn up and yell "HYPOCRITE!" and you would be partly right. In the past I have asked for certain groups to be silenced for the common good of society. But a certain video has changed my mind. Christopher Hitchens was speaking on changes proposed/made to hate speech legislation in Canada. His speech was eloquent, concise and funny. It has also removed what ignorance I had on the concept of free speech. Now I know that if I want to continue to criticise religious belief I have to allow counter-criticism to happen (which I have allowed, and counter at every turn ;D). I just thought I would share this will all of you in an attempt to teach you all something on free speech =] The video that I mentioned earlier can be found here.
Very similar to the crash in the Hudson river, except this one hit a house :x Luckily, it was a smaller airliner and it only hit one house. It could quite easily have crashed and skidded through the neighbourhood killing hundreds. The last death toll I saw was 48 on the plane, 1 in the house (presumably the husband, with the wife and child somehow escaping) and another death (it was added to the total but the news anchor didn't say who they were or how they died). BBC link It turns out, after reading the article, that there was an off-duty crew member on board (the 50th person who died). The really sad thing is, one of the passengers was a 9/11 widow who was travelling home to mark what would have been her husbands 58th birthday =[
I'm am shocked that no-one has posted about this, especially considering how many people here seem to live in Australia. I think it is disgusting that some of the fires were started by arsonists and some of them even restarted. I hope that they are caught and punished to and beyond the full extent of the law, regardless of their age. I mean, as the prime minister said, this amounts to mass murder. BBC link here. Current body count: 180
So lets all live our own damn lives for once. Also, the only reason the word "god" got a capitol letter was because it was at the beginning of a sentence. No sense capitalising the virtually non-existent =]
It has been snowing the entire time I've been in school today and none of it has stayed on the ground D= WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON >:
1.58 Go !
Was the server move meant to improve things or make them worse? Because from my experience since the move, things have gone through the floor =/ EDIT: Lol didn't see the other thread, this may be merged/deleted.
