I'm sorry to say that unbalanced immigration has been a socio-economic disaster in England. No laughing matter. Every time I see a message like this, I just want to go on a rampage and a very big, very sweary rant because this kind of ignorant bullshit seriously pisses me off. But I'm going to deta...

No love lost with the British establishment and their love for self-destructive crony capitalism, but one understandable reason why there's this sudden push for increasingly extreme, arbitrary civil enforcement laws was the '11 riots where the homes and properties of ordinary people (not evil corpo...

If this ever does pass, I'll be singing Flower of Scotland and waltzing north of the border to vote 'yes' faster than you can blink.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I find this sort of bullshit personally offensive...

And because the rich people of the country are the only people allowed to have good teeth. The rest of us are stuck following the Law of Britain.

That sounds like a porno.

I wish your family all the luck with this, and hope that whatever time you still have with her can be properly cherished.

Iain M. Banks was one of my favourite writers, and easily my favourite writer in the science fiction genre. I am greatly saddened by this.

From what I can tell, I think the song's actually about speaking out against homophobia, racism, and sexism. Just from a glance at the lyrics.

I haven't seen the video, admittedly... so whether it fulfils that is unknown to me.

Is this a cultural thing? They are pretty interchangable here.

It's considered to be a more 'severe' word within the United Kingdom, at any rate. Though it is still interchangeable to a degree, a cunt is usually seen as 'a dick times ten' or something along those lines.

I'd say that cunt is a much more serious insult than dick. I prefer the gender-neutral 'asshole' or 'fuckhead'. The fact that it is a much more serious insult says quite a lot about our English-speaking society. When we have a language a where being compared to the male sex organ is bad, but being ...

Being fair, cunt can easily be substituted with 'dick', putting it in the third possibly more popular category of 'vague sexual or scatological reference'. In this case comparing the individual in question to a sex organ. Though the misogyny and hatred of people with mental disabilities inherent in ...

So there's some dude handing out Vegan outreach pamphlets on campus. Must resist urge to heckle. Please do. The fact of a person spreading 'don't eat meat and dairy, k?' as a philosophy and dietary choice is not a harmful or even all that annoying practice. Harassing someone over that would basical...

I'm with timmy on this. Being that Firefly was a space opera of sorts, I filed the Reavers under 'space monsters', more or less.

I actually feel sorry for many people on TEO. It must be difficult having to go through life while evidently enjoying so very little of it.

I have to admit, the whole "keep your gun unloaded in a locked safe with the ammo in another locked safe" thing always has always seemed to undermine the idea of owning a gun for self-defense to me. I'm assuming the only way that you're 'protecting against home' invasion in that case is t...

Fortune favours the foolish.

to be honest i had the worst impression of star trek tng from all the nitpicking and mocking by teo even though i had pretty positive memories of watching First Contact over and over again :riker: Which is kind of sad, to an extent. Star Trek: The Next Generation has many episodes that outshine tha...

But that sounds like socialism, and we can't have that.

You know, not really all that much on the action man part, since he's actually not all that good in a fight. He's more of a punkish kid who's learning to become a leader while also being something of a ladies' man to at least a partial extent...

OK I have looked too much into Elfdart's comments, but I think he mildly criticised another poster who was thankful the controversial Venezuelan leader died. I can't elaborate further since I'm posting from a Nokia Lumia. Playing Devil's Advocate for a minute, it is cause for dismay to be happy at ...

This sort of thing tends to be a good example in favour of men supporting certain types of feminism... the simple fact that the tradition of socially-imposed gender roles is also quite harmful to men. Perhaps not quite as harmful as it is to women, but still something that causes vast and nearly-irr...

They weren't there the last time I checked. Though I will be a very happy man if they ever do release the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games on Steam.

I think for me it was seeing the film for the first time. It was a last viewing of the British television release on Sky Movies Gold back when I was about eight or so. Maybe a year after, the full special edition trilogy was released on video and I was hooked as a Star Wars fan after watching them. ...

How'd you find that? The Sando Aqua Monster versus Cloverfield thread on SpaceBattles, mostly, coupled with running into the somewhat bizarre smear attempt he made against TEO. A bit of searching on Sando Aqua Monster just to see what the fuss was about later... and the internet proves to go below ...
