The Catholic obsession with sex
The Catholic Church specifically, but I assume elements of most Christian religions, has a somewhat unhealthy interest in sex. Their obsessions stop short of the genital mutilation demanded by the other barbaric Middle Eastern religions, but definitely includes the first natural sex act, masturbation. They hate masturbation, and also seem to think that women don’t do it too!
But...

Wow, this is cool. Send the link to people you know who hate spiders! http://www.onemotion.com/flash/spider/

Bubbles! Can you resist them? →
First it was popping virtual bubble wrap. Now it’s gotten worse. Can you resist the power and hold over you that these German bubbles have? Go pop: http://www.eltern.de/familie-und-urlaub/freizeit/spiel-bubbles.html
We need more from Moore
Recently, I was genuinely privileged to have Radio Caroline’s Peter Moore write a couple of contributions to England’s England. Ah, now, I’ve deliberately mentioned “Radio Caroline” ahead of Peter’s name because it’s relevant to what I’m about to say, although his contributions were not about Radio Caroline. Instead, they were him as an intelligent...
How a lady uses a public loo
(In her own words)
When you have to visit a public toilet, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it’s your turn, you check for feet under the cubicle doors. Every cubicle is occupied.
Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the cubicle.
You get in to find the door won’t latch. It doesn’t matter, the wait has been...
Why treat other criminals differently to kiddie...
It is a general rule of societies in the ‘civilised’ world to despise and ostracise paedophiles. We want them castrated, branded, not living among us, and really, I suppose, we want them dead. If we can’t have them dead, we at least want them locked up and the key thrown away.
To me, this is perfectly acceptable treatment for somebody who has ruined another human’s life. The bit I don’t...
Your child abuse must stop!
As if with one voice we condemn child abuse. But, we think of acts of cruelty against children as being the more obvious acts that cause physical pain or discomfort, or the awful starving or torturing to death we hear stories of from time to time. Most ‘ordinary’ parents don’t think of themselves as committing acts of cruelty against their children. However, these are the...
“So, how long after a woman has started dating should she feel able to fart in...”
– Christopher England just wondered that!
Sigh. Oh for prisons like this over here.
Over here in the UK, we allow the criminals to rule. There is plenty of posturing, but actually no deterrent to any violent crime. Murderers get fined or let off, and those that do make it to prison find Play Stations and Sky TV waiting for them. They get rewarded for whatever it is they did outside.
What we need is the approach that’s been taken by Sheriff Joe Arpaio who created the...

Speaking of Global Warming. Somebody with a lot of time on their hand has compiled a list of media articles that have been published that blame Global Warming for this or that. It’s in alphabetical order and starts at Acne and ends at Yellow Fever....
Bleeping Mc-bleeping-Donald's
What the fuck is it with McDonald’s? Bleep bleep bleep. All the bleeping time. It’s bad enough that some of their ‘restaurants’ have the ‘tone’ of the in-store music so shrill it’s distorted and deafening instead of being properly ‘background’ or ‘wallpaper’, but in addition there are bloody alarms constantly going off.
The alarms appear to be connected to fryers or other cooking devices...
“Why should “Life mean life”?
Because it does for the victims.”

Jamie could have been ordinary and anonymous
Once upon a time there was a cute little toddler called Jamie. He was just an anonymous little boy, and would have probably grown to be just ordinary at school, and with luck, would have had a fairly ordinary job, married and had ordinary children, and just chugged along being anonymous as most of us are, as he enjoyed his uneventful life and grew older and then eventually died. Yes,...

Facebook is the real big brother
It’s interesting watching the paranoid display their paranoia. I love their conspiracy theories and listening to them rattling on about how terrible it is that the Government are doing this or the Government are doing that, and their references to it being a ‘big brother’ state. Fools. They’ll hold court about cctv or id cards or about paperwork or about photos on id...
The climate change 'debate'...
Questioner: Hi, this global warming thing, could you show me the figures and data and calculations so I can understand it more?
Climate Scientist: You Heathen. Are you questioning the word of a Climate Scientist?
Questioner: No, I just want to see what you see, that's all.
Climate Scientist: You don't need to see it, you have the word of a Climate Scientist passed down to you. Thou shalt accept the word without question.
Questioner: Well, you're telling me these things but not showing me the data that helped you arrive at this conclusion.
Climate Scientist: You don't need the data, besides which the data has been lost, completely lost, so it's not there to be seen! So, yah, boo, sucks, to you!
Questioner: So, you want me to believe what you are telling me but you won't show me how you got to the conclusion you have.
Climate Scientist: You are a Denier. An evil Denier! Verily you will rot in hell for your blasphemy. Never question a Climate Scientist. Our word is law!
Questioner: I'm not denying anything, I just want to understand how you arrived at this notion that the globe is warming.
Climate Scientist: Notion? Notion? How dare you! You Deniers will force us to Armageddon and beyond. You are traitors seeking to destroy humanity and the entire planet. You are a danger to us all.
Questioner: Steady on, all I'm after is a chance to review what you are telling us.
Climate Scientist: Review? Review? The work of the almighty Climate Scientist is peer reviewed by thousands, nay millions of others, so you have no place trying to be a reviewer. You deniers are not welcome because you want the world to die.
Questioner: I don't want the world to die, I just want to -
Climate Scientist: - The science is settled. There is nothing you can learn or change. Mankind is making the world die. We will be extinct within three years. Deniers will never be forgiven for questioning the science and causing the world to get even hotter.
Questioner: Well, since 1998 it's actually been cooling, not heating.
Climate Scientist: No it hasn't, it's, it's, erm, it's all part of climate change. Not global warming, no it's not that any more. It's climate change. You can't argue that the climate is changing.
Questioner: Well, the climate is always slowly changing, that's what it's always done.
Climate Scientist: No it hasn't. The climate is changing because of human beings and them breathing out. They're to blame and the only way we can save the world is to kill them all except for people Climate Scientists like.
Questioner: That's a bit over the top isn't it?
Climate Scientist: Tell that to the Polar Bears you Deniers are single handedly killing, you bastards. And every time you start your car another glacier dies in the Himalayas. You murdering bastards.
Questioner: But there are more Polar Bears than ever and the glaciers are melting at the same or slower rate that they always have, and the sea temperatures and seal levels are steady, and -
Climate Scientist: - I've got my fingers in my ears. I'm not listening to you. I'm right. You're wrong. That's the way it is. The science is settled. You are killing us all.
Questioner: Erm, you're not making any sense. It definitely sounds like you're not being scientific.
Climate Scientist: What piffle! Climate Scientists don't need to be scientific. We already know what's happening. We knew it was happening before we even examined anything to prove it was happening. The proof is that we said so, and that's enough. Climate Scientists say 1 and 1 equals 5, and there's no doubt that 1 and 1 equals 5.
Questioner: This sounds more like a faith, a cult religion, rather than a science.
Climate Scientist: Any more questioning and I'll have you burned at the stake as all Deniers will be. Good day to you!
(Door slams and Climate Scientist wanders to the horizon muttering and chirping to himself like a budgerigar.)
The price of 'Gas' (Petrol)
Don’t Americans (well, the Americans from the United States of) just piss you off with their whinging and whining when the cost of petrol goes up a few cents?
Yes of course they do.
You point out that although they are now paying $4.00 a US gallon, we here in the UK are paying $10:00 a US gallon and they ignore you as if only their pain has any value.
This is typical of the arrogance of this...
Let's make 'grassing' cool!
‘Grassing’ is good. No, honest, it’s good to be a ‘grass’. It’s only those who are doing something wrong that want you to believe that ‘grassing’ is not good. Think about it.
‘Grassing’ is the act of discreetly informing the relevant authorities (that could mean a parent, a teacher, an employer, or the police) about something...
The truth can't compete with old books
What’s the best way to inject a theory or a fact or information into the system?
Let me expand. Supposing you want to very swiftly make a lot of people believe something. It doesn’t have to be untrue, unusually for this day and age, it could be actually be true. However, you want to place this idea or information into society and to get it believed or supported. What medium should...
What is the secret beneath Liverpool?
What secret lurks beneath Liverpool? What power nestles below? What has been built there that the normal people are not allowed to see?
There is obviously a much larger conspiracy to hide something from the citizens of Liverpool and the great British public at large, but there must be a tiny local elite that do know about it but won’t say anything.
It’s time we knew the truth....

Words are taking control
Words. Everywhere. They are trying to get us. To overwhelm us. To make us never forget them. Are we in danger? Yes we are.
See, ages ago words were trapped in books. We were safe. In fact, only a few people knew how to understand what the shapes that were words actually meant. Indeed, knowing the danger that words posed some with foresight collected books into piles and burned them. The words...
