Ingram85 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Can you not seperate the two then? Be appalled by the human atrocity in Kenya yet still be pissed at not being able to go to the shops? I don't think the two are linked? It being Easter has nothing to do with the Kenyan massacre imo.

El Zen Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 People who say 'ta-oo' instead of 'tattoo' So you think they should glottal stop that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Perhaps we could be grateful that a couple of times a year life can be kicked back a little bit and not be quite so 24/7 for quite so many people. Whether you want to be religious or not is your personal option. For my part, I'm happy to have a couple of days a year when I can't buy shit from Argos or KFC. It's like family can be chilled and not just rat running and consuming. If a quiet day off was announced to celebrate the spaghetti monster, do you know what, I'd embrace it and take the slower paced day. Even if it meant I couldn't go to Wilkinsons to buy paint until tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Anyone talking with food in their mouths. Drives me bonkers. I am trying to be more tolerant but I have an almost physical reaction of suppressed irritation when I see this. Worse, it's become a cliche of self-important TV dramas in the States, of which this is not ... When I'm near a noisy eater I find it helps to visualise a predator style killing of them, complete with dangling spinal column.

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Sorry I thought this was the "Things that piss you off that SHOULDN'T" thread. I seemed to have posted in the self righteous, get on your high horse and be all philosophical about stuff thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to disagree. This is a cul-de-sac sort of subject. Not up for a big debate on this. I said what I had to say and most others will likely disagree. I'm OK with that. I accept that people say appalling things -- and I hope they do the same for me. It's the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can be self-righteous sometimes. Although I consider it just flat-out righteous, which is, I suppose, the definition. I would go back and edit the comments but I imagine the entertainment value would be reduced for others, so I won't.

limpid Posted April 5, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 5, 2015 Are you saying you don't believe in the zombie? He had a bad weekend for our sins. Sounds like you'e having the same. Appalling comments for Easter, especially with the murders in Kenya. Really surprised at your tone-deafness. Before I go looking for what has happened in Kenya, I hope it is about zombies and / or supermarkets being forced to close because of bronze age myths, otherwise this would appear to be "posting for effect". I do not suffer from amusia. However as with any disability, I don't think it's acceptable for you to categorise people based on things over which they have no control. Especially when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Edited: It's really sad what's happened in Kenya but I don't see how it's related. Perhaps starting up the LHC caused the supermarkets to be closed and Kenya wasn't related to the original posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted April 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2015 Someone writes a fairy tale hundreds of years ago about a bloke coming back from the dead and now, in 2015, the knock on effect is I can't get any **** groceries because all the supermarkets on my high street are closed. On the flip side, 4 day weekend for many people ... Not in Canada. They don't believe in days off over here. Dunno what I was thinking tbh!

Popular Post mjmooney Posted April 5, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2015 Perhaps if the people in Kenya had been encouraged to think, instead of being used as cannon fodder by the empire builders of two equally absurd mythologies, this wouldn't have happened. I hate violent conflict, but at least I can see the point of it if it's about human rights, or access to resources. But when it's in the name of some ancient superstition it's pathetic beyond comprehension. Religions stink. At different times some stink more than others, but they all stink. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never sat in my car and ordered a disposable bucket of fried food via an intercom. That's how posh I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'd never eaten a KFC until a year ago, I was surprised at the quality of the chicken and have gone back several times since. I especially like the idea of having a hash brown inside the burger, alongside chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as if you were suggesting that Christ is a "zombie" in your previous post. You're the one judging other people by things they haven't said. You've also revealed an intolerance towards a disability. According to the fable, Jesus was alive, then dead and then alive again. Zombie is the usual word for such a being in contemporary fiction. The bible contains a lot of this tripe; you should read it sometime. The red dragon with seven heads and ten horns is epic, especially when it sweeps a third of the stars in the sky down to Earth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
