    Just thought i'd start this...


    Think really really hard of something that you would prob never hear of in the real world or even on the internet. Can be as topical or as stupid as you want...

    and discuss if you feel like it...




    I have never heard of a female paedophile...They always seem to be old men or priests...

    paedophile...

    I've never heard a rational justifcation for belief in a god


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 4,569 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ivan


    If we dont believe in him, he will smite us.

    I've never heard of any good warez sites. Anyone got any, g'wan, just one?!
    :rolleyes:

    How have you never heard of a rational justification for a belief in god?
    What about to help people to with death!!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,107 ✭✭✭TheSonOfBattles


    Belief in God/Divinity isn't a bad thing, it's organised religion that ****s it all up. I'd love to see justificiation for organised religion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    It keeps people under control and terrified of breaking the law. Isn't that enough? :)

    that's not a rational justifcation, it's an emotional one. fear of death, and the unknown.

    What about constructing a sentence that makes sense?


    1) I've never heard of a CIE worker who isn't lazy.

    2) I've never heard of an NTL employee who can do their job.

    3) I've never met a midget/dwarf without an inferiority complex (they always seem to push their way past you while saying "EXCUSE ME" in a loud voice). It's not my fault your a midget, mate.

    4) I've never heard of a sceintific reason why a gay mans voice happens to be camper than everyone elses.

    5) I've never seen a funny female comedian.

    6) I've never seen RTE come up with an innovative or "hip" idea of their own.

    7) I've never seen George Bush make sense without reading a script.

    8) I've never had a fast shopping experience in Peats, Parnell St. - they are soooo slow.

    9) I've never discovered a logical reason for the existence of those "long" buses. Compared to double deckers; they hold less people, use just as much fuel (if not more), are more awkward taking corners, take up twice the space on the road, and are probably more expensive to make.

    10) I've never seen a person from Cork without a chip on their shoulder (RE: Dublin people).

    My uncle would take quite a personal offence to that statement.
    2) I've never heard of an NTL employee who can do their job.
    Err.... no comment.
    3) I've never met a midget/dwarf without an inferiority complex (they always seem to push their way past you while saying "EXCUSE ME" in a loud voice). It's not my fault your a midget, mate.

    How many midget/dwarves have you met?
    Perhaps they are trying to get past you?
    Its not his/her fault either.
    4) I've never heard of a sceintific reason why a gay mans voice happens to be camper than everyone elses.

    I believe its an attempt to make it clear to other gay men that they are gay. Its a method for making it easier to find other gay men.
    5) I've never seen a funny female comedian.

    Absolutely Fabulous Cast Members:
    Jennifer Saunders ........... Edina Monsoon
    Joanna Lumley ............... Patsy Stone
    Julia Sawalha ............... Saffron Monsoon
    June Whitfield .............. June Monsoon

    There are 4 at the very least. Some others worth mentioning. Cast of "Birds of a feather", that Deirdre O'Ruircan or whatever her second name is.
    6) I've never seen RTE come up with an innovative or "hip" idea of their own.

    The Des Bishop work experience show was pretty innovative and as for "hip"... bleh.
    7) I've never seen George Bush make sense without reading a script.

    "I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

    "For NASA, space is still a high priority."

    "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

    Make perfect sense to me... the man is an idiot.
    8) I've never had a fast shopping experience in Peats, Parnell St. - they are soooo slow.

    They are stupid too.
    9) I've never discovered a logical reason for the existence of those "long" buses. Compared to double deckers; they hold less people, use just as much fuel (if not more), are more awkward taking corners, take up twice the space on the road, and are probably more expensive to make.

    Someone was compensating?
    10) I've never seen a person from Cork without a chip on their shoulder (RE: Dublin people).

    I've seen very few Irish people who dont begrudge somebody, somewhere.


    Oh, and Faith cant be rationalised or justified, thats why its the perfect cover.

    Word for word what i was going to say,
    Well said.

    I would have added a extra sentence myself though.

    I Would love to see religion destroyed. For all religions to die and burn.

    There are no good female comedians. Face the fact, there is none.

    You never hear why all blokes from the North that i've met are all argumentative gits, and conversly the women are sweet little beings


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 590 ✭✭✭herbie747


    There are no funny females - period. Ab Fab is absolute sh*te...."daaaarling". :rolleyes:

    Not all CIE "employees" are lazy - I'm mainly talking about the "workers" in orange jackets on the tracks who do nothing. Sorry about teh misunderstanding. I have a lot of respect for bus drivers, believe it or not; it's a tough job.

    I have met a few midgets: and rather than say "excuse me", they push past real rude. I honsestly didn't see them....
    e.g. HMV browsing through CD's in a thin isle - one of them just pushed past me as if I wouldn't move - he never even asked me to move! It's happened a few times in various places. I never said it was their fault they were midgets, but it DEFINATELY isn't mine.

    I've seen very few Irish people who dont begrudge somebody, somewhere.
    I'll be the first to admit that I have a genuine contempt for the general public: The dozy drivers, the stupid 'aul ones, the loud jocks, the filthy knackers, the smelly pikeys, the ignorant taxi drivers, the kooky students, the poncy useless boybands, idiotic shallow people who watch reality TV, the arrogant staff at Hobo & Peats, the loser security guards who think they are bigshots, the bimbos who drive the FM104 VW Beetles, etc....

    Not that ALL of these people are stereotyped like this - but the majority are - FROM MY EXPERIENCE.

    Funnily enough this sounds like religious ferver..
    If you define religion as a belief system - then you could be classified as religions.
    All you need to do is change "al religions" to "all OTHER religions"

    Sounds like you want to enforce your value systems on others.. Just like the other religions :D

    ===================================
    AFAIK the EU takes a dim view of stairs on buses anyway aren't double deckers limited to 40mph ?

    The moral majority admiting that they are neither.

    That's why they've replaced the coaches with double-deckers on the Dublin-Drogheda and Dublin-Belfast routes.

    So people who r related to you arent lazy but in the same post u can collectivly call every member of staff in a (fairly ) large shop stupid, mmm that makes sense. So all peats hhave to do is hire a member of ur family and theyll b in ur good books then.

    Birds of a feather is GREAT, absolutely fabulous... ok, thats a bit ****e, imho.

    Actually I have no relative who works in CIE, I was trying to be sarcastic.

    No, of course not all of the people in Peats are stupid, just the stupid ones.

    Its like the P.C. police follow everyone around waiting for them to make a stupid generalisation so they can go, "Hey, wait, you generalised, you should NEVER do that, under absolutely no situation is it ok to GENERALISE".
    Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time in chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium's atomic weight.

    After the sudden accidental death of Pierre Curie, Marie Curie managed to raise her two small daughters (Irène, who was herself awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935, and Eve who became an accomplished author) and continue an active career in experimental radioactivity measurements.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 947 ✭✭✭neXus9


    pop over to "women, know your place", and there is quite a few inventors mentioned.

    Don't forget that women were repressed for quite a long time. A lot of people can only mention a handful of inventors anyway, so I say there is a lot of female inventors out there, but they just havn't been put into the lime light.
