If you could get rid of ONE thing in the world, apart from anything violent in any way or even anything natural, what would you get rid of???

Mine?
Simple answer: Facebook..(There would be no more talk about it. It would be a dream come true).

YOu know how I got in touch with my friends in the 80's? I called round to their houses...IMAGINE!! If their mother told me they were out, I went off out myself and found them and we chatted and mucked about for hours rather than being indvidually cooped up in our respective bedrooms, sealed off from the world and texting or messaging each other in some chat room. If I went to the pub after lectures in the late 80's the considerate thing to do was to drop 20p into the pub payphone and ring home telling my ma I was having a few scoops with mates and so not to wait up and not to make a dinner for me or put a plate of meat and spuds to the side and I'd eat it when I got home. She would have no way of contacting me, you see.

A friend has taken to calling/texting from her mobile when she's standing outside the fcuking house. I asked her why she won't use the doorbell - that's what it's there for - shrug.

Was that the same thing as turning up when you said you were going to turn up, and being on time, and not texting that you'll be 20 mins late... all that sorta thing. I bloody well remember it well

Indeed. I was usually late when meeting my college mate at Trinity Front gate. But usually he anticipated this and nipped into O'Neills on Sufflok Str. for a swift ale. If when I arrived at front gate and he wasn't there then the pub was the logical default. Never missed each other on a night in four years. Can you imagine taking the mobiles off a group of punks today and then having them organise meeting up for a night on the town. Feckers would be screwed. Even if they did manage to all get together (probably take an hour) they'd be frightened to even go to the jacks or dance with a girl for fear of not being able to find the group again through frantic texting.

Yep, the good ol "if we get seperated spot" we always had one, it just made sense... Even now when I'm out, if my phone goes, I rarely hear it. My view is, is that I'm out with friends, and taking a phone call while I'm with those friends sorta diminishes the fact that I'm with them and not who ever is calling/texting me...

I'm with ya, lets get rid of mobiles!!!!

Maybe so but you know the phrase "Ignorance is bliss?"
Statistics show atheists are more likely to suffer from depression and suicide.

It's 99% true, and as everyone knows 72% of the time, statistics are accurate 94% of the time. But of course 81% of all people know that. lol.

So even if God does exist he is a vindictive b*stard who will inflict conditions like that on those who do not believe in him?....I would do away with him so.

If he doesn't exist I will settle for doing away with women with out of control facial hair.

Atheism is the new Buddhism, it's seen to be enlightened if you pronounce yourself as such and with that of course comes a sense of superiority, better than the herd, which is why they spout on about 'natural selection' so much, no doubt with a smirk on their faces as of course, as it refers to those they see as being beneath them, with regards to evolution at least.

In large part I think people are falling over themselves to tell us all that they are atheists as what it does in effect is distance themselves from religion. A thread was started not so long about what happens after we die and some of the comments in that were laughable. People seem to think the birth of spirituality and a belief in an after life stems from orignised religions and it most certainly does not. They (smug atheists) also tend to throw the word 'science' around is if the word somehow obliterated all possibility of a spiritual world (for want of a better phrase). Not only that but it would also suggest that there couldn't possibly be scientists who are spiritual, which of course is a also a nonsense.

Not sure if you have seen it, but there is a docu/movie on at the cinema at the moment called: CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS (3D) and I would really recommend it. It's about the Chauvet cave in France, where explorers discovered hundreds of cave drawings of animals by man over 30,000 years ago. What these scientists discovered was that there was without question a sense of spirituality with these people but that wasn't what I took away from the film in fact. What struck me most of all was how spiritual these scientists had become as a result of working on it.

So when I see people waffling on about how they are men & women of science and that they question the sanity of anyone who is spiritual or has a belief that there is an after life in a way, I feel sad for them - as what they are doing is cutting themselves off from being human. They are in effect creating a new religion, just as suppressive as the Islamic faith or Catholicism, as what it suppresses is the right for humans to have *some* beliefs based on human instinct and human intuition.

No one comes off as smug and conceited as you when discussing any of the above themes Pete. The annoying thing is that you can't even see it.
