People who find ,defending their country against fascists like NF, as 'scaremongering'.
Maybe one has to have lived through WWII to know why.

Nationalism is not the same thing as patriotism - and even that is suspect at times.

Rail fares in the UK. Too complex to book and too expensiev to travel.
Example, Bristol to London at short notice. If 2 of you are going it is actually cheaper to go by taxi!

Morons in car parks that park so close you have to crawn over from the passenger side to get in the drivers seat.
Uppemost in my mind as it happened (again) yesterday and I have a bad leg making the task difficult and incredibly painful.

Boko Haram would not agree with you on that - they are Islamists and that is what is driving them.

All of them at face value are OK Goldilox, but all have been corrupted, some more than others.
Despite being a non-believer I am not anti faith, but I am anti blind unthinking faith

I think some religions are OK. In what sense 'OK'? By definition, only one could be right, as they are mutually exclusive, and there is no reason to think that that one exists anyway. Faith is a cop-out, an excuse for not thinking. |

I have argued that all men are atheists. If not by declaration, then by disbelief in any given religion. i.e. To a jew ,a catholic must be an atheist.

Indeed it's often heard in response to declarations of faith: "We are both atheists as far as the (hundreds of) various gods are concerned - I (the atheist) just go one god further than you (the believer)." Only it's usually put much more succinctly...
And yes, we are all born atheist, just as we are born without political party or football club loyalty! These things are thrust upon us as time passes.

What pisses me off is that a lot of threads seem to turn into religious discussion. No, just kidding.
What really pisses me off is when I buy a bag of air and there are chips in it.
On a different note...I also have religious views. When I climb up on my roof I can see a church.

And here is another thing.
Mobile phones. Both a blessing and a curse. What pisses me off is people who either answer a text or send one when you are in the middle of a conversation with them. It has to be done NOW.
I had friends round for dinner a few months ago. One, a girl younger than the rest was texting while we were all sat eating. I said 'I don't know who that is but perhaps you could ask him to cook your dinner next time'.
