Ditto! I open up the OP in the expectation it's a rib-tickling exposition of Putin holding the west to ransom over energy supplies, only to be met by 'the Man With The Golden Guff' whittering on. Take some Charcoal Tablets and next time, think of the Ozone layer

It's not worth it, just because you didn't get a full pint.

Perfect commentary on contemporary society, where sending the object of your affections a picture of your crank is pretty much the 21st Century's equivalent of a Hallmark Card. She posts a picture of her Vertical Smile on 'rate my cunt dot com' as a reciprocal gesture and chivalry is thus preserved.

That's really unfair. I think they look great in their smoking jackets and cravats, with their 'Leslie-Philiips-in-a-Jacuzzi-of-champagne-with-a-bevvy of-beauties' demeanour. Hang on..... 'Urbane Foxes'? FFS!!!!

Pithiviers of this, jus of that, reductions of whatnottery but ask the cunt to run you up a decent fried egg sandwich and he has a sweary hissy fit!

Bloody hell, it was so much easier when you could call Tom Daley a cunt and everyone knew where you stood.

Yes I accept that, by definition, belief in a religion...a godhead....a spiritual 'other' implies belief (my words) brainwashing (yours). Unless you go down the Anarchist route of 'any man who put his hand on me in government is my enemy' (and for man, also read 'religious belief system') then this is the reality of religious belief. I suppose my point is where that belief leads us. For me I see it giving the vast majority succour and comfort and is a starting point for their 'goodness' (Christ what a word!), though I accept you don't have to be a believer to be a good person. Yes there's the 'God Hates Fags' and ISIS crews but fuck them eh? Anyway, I run the risk of coming off like a tub-thumping Bible-basher which I'm not. I just don't like atheists repeatedly ganging up on the vast majority of believers who have nothing to do with extremism, hatred and have no wish to be put on the spot to 'prove' their God exists, when belief by its definition, is the antithesis to provable fact

Can't use fucking cunting quotes as per bloody usual so this is back at Bawsy for his penultimate posting: That's sort of my point. There's all these things that organised religion is supposed to be about, but the day-to-day reality is, in my personal experience stuff like coffee mornings in support of Oxfam, bellringing meetings, church youth groups / sunday schools. And before you dismiss this as laughably twee, it may well be - but these are scenarios played out up and down the land day in, day out - but of course, Jihadist beheadings and nonce priests garner so much more publicity, don't they?

There is no empirical evidence of a God - thus the employment of the word 'faith'. I have lived in my house for over 15 years during which time no religious group has 'come to my door' to 'convert' me. During that period however, I have seen hundreds of bolshie postings from atheists along the lines of the OP here, demanding 'proof' of a God, belittling those who have faith, sneering and mocking them for their stupidity and, worse still, for their acquiescence and responsibility to / for Paedophile priests / Muslim beheadings / wars, sum sodomy and the lash. Just who has the closed minds here? Just who are the proseletyzers and zealots? Just who is attempting to deny someone suffering and troubled some small sliver of comfort and hope? Contrary to what might be portrayed, I'm not religious or have faith. I'm also not a vegetarian but am happy to let those who are get on with their lives and respect their lifestyle choices. I certainly suspect that if my child had terminal cancer (as a for example), that I would get down on my knees and pray and would not care a toss what anyone else thought or said about me. Doubtless though, there are many big-bollocked 'don't give a hang' tough guys who would refuse to do that, given the absolute certainty of their atheistic convictions

As if 'empirical evidence' is all that counts. Sorry Jazz, but my next door neighbour is a devout Christian, quiet, modest, and the very antithesis of a preachy zealot. He is a 'good-doer' as opposed to a 'do-gooder' (you get my meaning) and whilst I accept you don't need to be a believer to be / do good, he represents (IMO) the vast majority of all 'people of faith' - certainly more than ISIS / IRA / UFF and the like, who try to legitimise their violence behind the fig leaf of religion and grab all the (shit) PR for their 'religions'. As such I can't accept this isn't most peoples day-to-day interaction with religion and therefore, how can these people possibly be characterised as the root of all evil?

Whenever religion gets an airing on any social media, it's generally the atheistically inclined shiteing on about 'no proof of God....the Bible / Qu'aran / Talmud is all balls....religion the cause of all wars.....mind-control and indoctrination of kids' often in intemperate terms, often running to several (or eightal) paragraphs. It's very rare in my experience for a hardcore believer of whatever faith to come in, demanding all believe their one true way - those nutters are more likely to be found shouting to the pigeons outside Greggs in your local shopping precinct, where they can, quite rightly, be laughed at and ignored. My first point being - just who are the proseletysing bigots here? Secondly, reading the above posts it would appear that most folks' experience of religion is hearing nutters like Paisley / Abu Hamza / The Pope and extrapolating that to the belief that this is a representation of all religions, in a mental leap that beggars belief Really?? Is that your day-to-day exposure to religion? Wow! Your kid doesn't go to a religious-endowed school or has been treated in a religious-endowed hospital? You've never seen / supported the religious based charities such as Christian Aid? You don't know someone who isn't a gobby fundamentalist, but whose faith is a quiet source of strength to them? Clearly there are religious extremists in the World causing death and mayhem in their pursuit of, well, we're not quite sure since we don't really talk to them, just demonise them. But for a group whose members have the most finely tuned bullshit detectors and levels of cynicism at the healthiest and most robust of levels, some CC'ers really do think these minority cunts represent a huge body of religious thought.

The mechanisms may be a bit rusty after not being used for a while. There may be a degree of self-consciousness but today, up and down this land, ordinary people will pray to a sensed God and apply their hopes to an imagined heaven, having been visited by death or news of imminent death. It will give them comfort and hope; a sliver of something good to cling onto - a sliver that the clamour for proveable fact (as if that is all that matters) from the likes of the OP, will decry as stupidity. But they will pray, despite what the hipsters and the gobby atheists would have us believe.

I'm trying to find accommodation for the Cheltenham Festival. It's on from 10th-13th March. Either side of that week there's palatial edifices, drawing rooms, dado rails, hot and cold running whores, broadband wi-fi, buffalo in aspic for breakfast delivered by bare-breasted naked wenches who have felled the noble beast off the tundra that very morning and prepared it with her own hands - the full luxury she-bang, going for the price of a prawn cocktail. But come Cheltenham week? Prices go up like cocaine and Daniella Westbrooks nose. These fascist fucks are chucking some woad into a derelict outdoor shed and renting it for a kings ransom as a bijou and compact letting for single inhabitant (who gets on well with coackroaches and dung beetles). The fucking Cotswold Cunts!!!!!

Tutankhamen's Death Mask. Frightened the living piss out of me when I was forced to go and see the bloody thing at the British Museum

Reading John Otway's biography, she went out with him once upon a time. Say all you need to know about her, really.

This programme is of legitimate interest only to the .00001% of the population who actually witnessed any of the crimes they cover, who can be arsed to watch this load of old cathode-ray wank in the first place and who then go "Swelp me! I bloody knew I forgot something last month! Sainsbury's for bullets, condoms, Vaseline.....spunked my money up the wall in Ladbrokes....dodged the balaclavered nutter with the sawn-off shotgun running out of NatWest.....pork pie and a pint in 'The Old English Racist'. Christ I best phone Plod! The quality of that pork pie was a disgrace!" Otherwise it gives folks without access to porn and rotten.com a vicarious thrill about the evils of the world, whilst shoring up their asinine prejudices. They fucking WANT you to have nightmares! That's the whole point.

Never trust a hippie. Love and peace can suck my cock for all eternity

This is the way wars begin. Catholics and Protestants. Sunni and Shi ite. High caste and Low caste. Ostensibly the same but actually at each others throats 24/7. I'm nailing my colours to THIS thread and am introducing a summary fatwah on anyone who post on the other thread! Beheading is too good for you heretics!

I just made a remarkable discovery! Val Doonican isn't dead!

Pissticks to all that blanket of love tomfoolery! I just typed 'Wanker' into the satnav. Put the kettle on - I'm parked outside.

I bet it was a bloody Chuppa Chup lolly too! The comestible-of-choice for the twat-about-town.

Yeah well - that's the bottom of the food chain you're looking at right there isn't it? I think 'Tries to do a driveby shooting' was a bit of a giveaway. The other half-arsed behaviour you outlined merely goes to underline this blokes' wholesale imbecility.

Or rub some lard on him

Personally I'm quite the fan of the GG Allin approach. Shit on anyone doing anything you disapprove of - or shit on them anyway.

Anyway you're all cunts and remind me never to go to a gig with you lot. No clapping No singing Basically nothing, which is fine if it's Kraftwerk or some asexual band like The Cure or something. A thousand-yard-stare and the merest flicker of movement is pretty much de rigeur for dealing with those cunts, but it sounds a right barrel of laughs for the rest - apart from hurling sprouts at Tangerine Dream. There's a rock 'n roll story you could dine out on for ever. 'The day I caught Edgar Froese in the nutsack with a Dollys Cabbage' Oh and I actually did hurl bottles of piss at The Tygers of Pan Tang at Reading in the early 80's. Trust me, it was the only way to deal with the horror.
