The Rant Thread

[Crow]

Do people not read. Every time I send something for production, to workmen, or artworkers I receive loads of questions and they are always very very clearly labeled in the plans, always getting the same reply "oh yeah so they are, I didn't have a proper look". Pains in my arse.

I love to read.  Somebody once told me that reading made me "gay." I told her that I would much rather be gay than a dumbshit. 

lol

this is my favorite reply when somebody calls me gay for doing something that is totally unrelated to homosexuality.

Christian Democratic leader Reverend Fred Nile said Girl Guides should be "ashamed" at acting disloyally toward the Queen.

"I was disgusted to see the Girl Guides, in a special ceremony, were removing the Queen's portrait from their meeting halls," he said in a statement on Friday.

"They should be ashamed of themselves for this act of disloyalty."

He urged the families of Girl Guide members to threaten a boycott until "they reverse this shameful, disloyal and atheistic policy".

I'm trying to skip all the expletives but this guy is such an utter piece of shit, has been for decades.

I don't get it, how is the extreme disloyalty that is removing the Queen's portrait constitute a "atheistic policy"? Is the Queen a goddess or cult leader? ???

Perfect example of using religious bias to promote a political ideology. I don't think he believes its "atheistic" at all. Not sure if I'm offended by "atheistic" being clumped in with "shameful" and "disloyal"; maybe if I cared more. Could be the new 'gay': "Dude - you like modern art? That's so atheist."

Is the Queen a goddess or cult leader? ???

Isn't she the leader of the church of England? That's like a cult, yes?

I guess she is, but is she an object of worship?

Is the pope an object of - nevermind.

There was a removal of god from the pledge.

The refreshed Girl Guides' promise will see its 28,000-strong group promise to do their best "to be true to myself and develop my beliefs" rather than to "do my duty to God, to serve the Queen and my country".

I think the loyalty to queen thing is just an anachronism.  The queen has actualy made inclusive statements in regard to atheists, there is a thread about it somewhere. here http://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6292.0

If you loved the queen so much you'd think her church would be the only choice but it isn't good enough for old Fred.

LOL No. People can, and do, leave the CoE without repercussions, all the time.

Right! Forgot how civilized Britain actually is for a second there

I hope there's a special place in Hades for people who live in apartment buildings and do the following:

• Let their dog take giant shits around the property without bothering to clean it up
• Pile their garbage NEXT to the garbage shoot instead of depositing it DOWN the garbage shoot like everyone else
• Occupy EVERY washing machine in the laundry room at once. 20 washing machines. Really? REALLY?
• People who leave garbage in the elevator. If you REALLY have to eat your damned Big Mac in the elevator, take your trash with you.

I am suddenly glad I don't live in an apartment.

The problem is, most of the time I have no idea who is doing this stuff (besides the garbage shoot shenanigans, that's someone on our floor). The rest of the stuff could be anyone in the building, and there are over 150 apartments in my building, so I have nowhere to direct my rage and/or possible retribution.

Obviously the only sensible choice is a kind of scattergun of hostility.  Since you don't know which one of your neighbors is responsible, you must terrorize all of them.  It's the only way.

Superglue all their doors shut. That should teach them.
