Off-Topic

It's AH, the only topics I've ever seen handled maturely are suicide and depression, and those threads always feel incredibly surreal.

I remember that greatest act of kindness thread. A rare thread that is treated with respect and not full of flaming.
But that's ah for you...
Most people go there because they know they can get away with things they can't in other forums.

You're right about the thanks wh're jokes jcy. I don't mind if they're crap. But a lot I'd them are just repeats of things that were funny - once. Three fiddy, blast it with piss, yor ma etc. jaysus that's a shocking 'joke' repitoire !

I know, right? There are threads like this on mental health that would warm your heart. But then around the same time, there was a thread on Sinead O'Connor's mental health difficulties in the same forum and the contrast in attitudes (like when we have to apply our nice intentions to real people) was amazing.

Yeah it's crazy all right, that thread has been going for over 2 months, I can only imagine the complete contrasts in values that have been evident in that time, I'd certainly call the thread that spurred this conversation on one. It's not surprising though, give people an anonymous high speed communication platform where they can't see who they're addressing, add in the relative freedom of 'opinion' over there... what do you expect?

Ladies and gents, I'm slightly enibriated tonight. So I will be modding very little. I just had to mention that and my new found freedom here in Galway, which I'm enjoying throughouhly.

Spelling corrections can be corrected tomorrow

@ ItsThatManAgain Drunk in Galway, doesn't get much better than that.

Hope the head isn't too rough this morning

My head, last night seemed like a good idea at the time

I'll try to refrain from drunk posting too

Something I regret if I do it. Usually make a holy show of myself (I'm usually the only one who thinks so as everyone else was either too pissed, doing the same or too busy laughing) - technology should have breathalysers!

I'm very happy today. The source: a new apron. Ah to be fair it has sausage dogs. But in all seriousness I must be getting on a bit if I get all excited about cookie cutters, new mops, new flavour of Philadelphia and so forth. Thankfully I still come over all excited about new handbags and dresses too or I'd be in serious old fogey trouble.

I noticed there are others here who like to cook. Maybe we need a gay recipe exchange thread

This is making me want a beer.

Do not get AH at all.

The gay threads are like a shining beacon to a bunch of crazies on the internet to register and spout biblical quotes all over a thread. It's gone past homophobia into the realm of vacuous stupidity.

Seriously, if your line of reasoning ever contains the quote "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" ooh, burn, please take yourself to the nearest vet and have yourself put down because you are contributing nothing to the advancement of the human race.

Then they disappear into the ether...(usually)

Must...Refrain...From...Arguing...With...Crazy...People.

That's it. Rant over. Time for a fag. Sorry.

Fcuk. I caved.

Aw but it's hilarious!

Hilarious. Yet, oddly depressing. Darwin is weeping in his grave.

Hi
I keep getting told that I post in the wrong forum or say the wrong things? I am going to now probably say the wrong thing again .... but
1. why does this site seem really really moderated like we are being monitored at work!
2. am I even allowed to ask if anyone knows of any similar blogging sites(if that is what this is) that are a bit more free speech wise etc?

Read the stickies here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=98

1. Yes, they watch everything you do. No, seriously unless you're being a d**k, they won't pay any attention to you.

2. Have no idea. What on earth could you want to say?

There's a lot of people in AH supporting gay marriage though. Any mention of hay marriage and gay adoption brings some nuts out of the woodwork though 'its unnatursl' 'god says its wrong' at least these majority in that thread are not acting the nob. By nob I mean not even trying to explain anything past 'it's not natural' 'Adam and eve not Adam and Steve'

AH is like watching jerry springer

I rather perversely find AH rather uplifting at times. It's meant to be an area where everyone slags off everyone else, and yet when there are gay threads the number of posters who step away from that and defend our rights gives me great hope. Think back 10/15 years ago, you could probably have counted the number of positive posts on one hand for any gay related thread. I love the fact that (largely) straight people call the numpties out when they spout the usual crap that is AH. To me it shows that the acceptance of the LGBT communities and the welcoming of equal rights has come a long, long way

Must preface all this by saying I'm completely smitten with the new woman in my life and am seeing silver linings on every cloud at the moment

AH, the Christianity forum and the Islam forum are great for knifing homophobes with repressed homosexual tendencies.

Whatever about AH, any of those religious forums are just laughable. How anyone can believe in any of that dinosaur, out-dated bunch of fairy tales and lies is beyond me, in this day of science, reason and logic. The evils men have done against other main based upon religious differences is saddening and so vile.

A good person will do good things. An evil person will do evil things. But for a good person to do evil things, it takes religion to make them do it.

Atheist and proud!:D

I believe in dinosaurs

Dinosaurs are awesome!

Right you are :P My pet T-Rex has been ripping up the concrete yard all weekend and it's really starting to fraustrate me. I might have to reinforce it with steel next time.

I'd love a pet t-rex

though I'm thinking more Ice Age 3 than Jurassic Park...

I made some biscuits that I call chocolate jazzles earlier. The word jazzle is ruined for me because I can't think 'jazzle' without thinking the word 'vajazzle' ever since I saw a sign in the local salon advertising vajazzling now...
I knew in a roundabout way what that is. A sparkly vaj. But I was curious and googled it anyway. It cannot be unseen!
So now I see these images in my head when I eat a jazzle
