Yep, the UK is like a gigantic "Members Only" VIP club, spot on, Mark.

I changed my avatar. But it looks weird now. I may change it back.

You idiot, it's just matter. Of course it's been reused, that doesn't mean the table or lampshade holds some special significance on its own just because it was born from stars or swallowed by an old giraffe or something. All that you're noticing doesn't have anything to do with a God or spiritual force, it's just how the world works.

I LOVE THAT GUY

You moronic ****, fuck no I'm not happy about America's immigration policy, it's probably worse than the UK's. US immigration policies right now are among the worst national policies in our history. It's all a big old steaming pile of shit, thank you very much.

All you said about the rarity and incredible occurrence of life is utterly true, chuck, I just utterly don't understand why anyone (not talking about you) want to add any sort of God or "spiritual entity" into the mix, it takes all of the wonder and beauty out of the whole system. Go outside some night and look at the stars when it's cold outside and think about all the things science has basically proved about them -- they're unimaginably huge and far away, each one of them is unique, and humans have managed by sheer luck and chance to build up a consciousness out of the natural world and can observe such things, that can notice patterns in them, that can express themselves with such clarity to others, through language, art, music, acting, what have you, and simultaneously categorize virtually everything that we can observe into reasonable laws based on logic that are also actually true -- to think that anybody would rather live believing that all of the undeniable beauty in the universe and that human existence is capable of is because of or relies on some divine man sitting in the clouds is just horrible to me. Religion does not add wonder to the world, it makes it duller and more uninteresting; it's technically got the same basis as science, which is explaining the world, except with religion you just make shit up and believe it to make yourself feel better; with science you learn about the actual world. Not really a contest if you ask me. I'd rather be able to know facts (or almost facts) about this existence than any sort of made up shit about someone else's rules and an afterlife once you die, especially considering most of humanities gods are just shit people anyway, vindictive, mean, bitchy, etc. And don't give me any of that crap about how religion fosters spiritual growth and personal happiness, that's bullshit, I'm not a religious person but I would say I am fairly spiritual, since I can appreciate what an amazing world this place can be and all the vastness and fascinating bits about the universe. I live in awe of the world every day without any sort of God motivating me. Again, I just really don't get the fundamental concept behind religions when you have science and reason, which don't cancel out any of the artistic expressions of the human race or fascination in the world (actually I think scientific discoveries add to both of these things.) Anyone can name me something they think religion does good and I can say something non-religion does better. Humans don't need a god to make them do whatever amazing things they do, they can do it by themselves, and they clearly have considering they've gotten this far without a god, you know, existing.

Oh okay, discussing, good idea, you politician, you

They didn't say they suck now even, though, just said it became fashionable to call them bland. :wtf:

Hahahahaha, Pitchfork clearly has something stuck up their ass... like pretty far. Coldplay's Greatest Hits album, if they release one, is going to be blah... most of their good songs aren't really "hit" hits.

Organized religion is one of the worst things to happen to humanity. Yes, people would still kill for stupid and bigoted reasons without it, but the fact that they do so and have done so for so long thinking that they are deliverers of divine justice sickens me. And don't need some fictional "God" to tell me what's right and what's wrong -- if you're not fucking retarded it's pretty easy to tell, in general hurting people = bad, doing nice things = good... do you really need some sort of fictional promise of an afterlife to motivate you to do good things? Humanity's sense of "right" and "wrong," or its sense of "compassion" is clearly biologically hardwired, you don't need religion to tell you that. People invented religion because they're terrified of death, not for any moral reasons.

I really liked the description that guy wrote, seems pretty accurate to me. Rush of Blood is a good album, definitely, and influential, definitely. Good choice.

um idk really... but maybe Flumpool The Dresden Dolls Sigur Rós Blood Red Shoes Radiohead

I love Dr. Seuss. :heart: I'm bringing like 5 Dr. Seuss books to school on Monday for my Japanese friend, I think. Coz she's never read any of them and she needs to.

Really bored.

I'm listening to J-pop bands right now and I never thought I would like them but I think I do x]

:heart: Enlighten me, then, what would you do, dear politics student?

You suck.

yes, yes yes yes yes. Adds a lot of feeling.

Yeah it was one of the first things I asked my Chinese teacher, how to say "I am the walrus," actually

wo shi haixing That's I am the walrus... in fucking chinese

hells to the yeah. Well mostly my dad's classical records, and some of his blues ones too.

Oh wow, you're studying politics so you think you know mor than me, I don't give a fuck. Do you honestly think that British citizens deserve jobs and homes in a developed country more than Nigerian ones just for being British?

Hahaha, if you mean cracking down on immigrants you're even more of a fucking moron, I'm just going to say, Britain seems to me like they've got fucking draconian rules about immigrants, show a little sympathy for these poor fuckers, getting sent back to a war-torn country by one of the best-off and most well-developed countries in the world. Way to grab the fucking moral high ground.
