yeah but she looked like a sweet old lady! awwww bwess!
okay enough. fuck jesus, mother t and ghandi.
Actually maybe I am being unfair on Ghandi, like I say he did an enormous amount of good, but he was like all of us, flawed.
The rest can go and fucking swing ! :)
cheers for speaking your brains though. seriously, tray infotaining. reely.
btw it's "per se". not "per say".
soz.
Fuck ! I never get that right.
per se, per se, per se, per se, per se, per se, per se !!!!!!!!!!

i used to have a t-shirt with "your a retard" (sic) on it (more latin, how fucking posh am i tonight?) on it.
but i got fucking sick (sic) of fucking retards coming up to me and pointing out that i'd got my grammar wrong; or worse still, was being offensive (presumably to oversensitive irony-free cunts who like to cock-on about how they work with retards).
anyway, i binned the tee after a week.
i still haven't been able to lose the parenthesis (sic) or business latin fixation yet. caveat emptor.
salve.

if jesus made hip hop slave bikes do you think the brand name would be 'crucifixions'
-
And would the people who ride them have "One Less Muslim" stickers?

perhaps if we ignored the anachronism of islam being invented hundreds of years later.
after we ignored the anachronism of the bicycle not being invented yet, either.
the only people who would ride a jesus bike would be those hand-clapping christian-rock singing hipsters, though. unless he made sick titanium ones.

I think that Jesus (once he's secondly cometh) would just piggy-back a global brand in order to gain immediate access to a large market; probably American, so likely to be Specialized.
I foresee the arrival of the "New Testament Langster"...

Is Sweatloaf your mid-ride snack?

...could you tell me your definition of the word 'hipster' please?
they don't know what the fuck they're doing but they like being 'in' with 'the crowd'.
the big "jesus loves you" american idol corporate mega-churches are for church-hipsters. not exactly the same as emo-hipsters, fixie-hipsters or myspace-hipsters, but the same general principle.
or something.
ffs it's a sunday, that's the best i can do ;)

Maybe if Jesus had a lo-pro in Galilee, it would all have turned out differently.
jesus on a low-pro. with clips and straps and sandals. and a prayerospoke. amazing.

Suffice to say Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was a fanatical religiously driven woman and a major tennet of her religion is the notion that suffering is good, suffering gets you into heaven.
Now normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, indeed I have no problem with people's superstitious beliefs per say if they are kept to themselves - but when these ideas encroach on other people's lives then there is a problem.
She said that the suffering of the poor is something "very beautiful and the world is a better place because of this example of misery, pain and suffering" She said poverty and suffering should not simply be endured, but should be sought and even created. The problem with her religious belief that suffering helps to earn your salvation was that she thought suffering was good and therefore prohibited the use of pain relievers in her clinics, now you need to pause for a moment and take that in, people in the most abstract pain dying from terminal disease and with pain relief readily available had to ride their last few days, weeks, or months of their lives on a rollercoaster of unnecessary and unmedicated suffering.
Her name a is often banded around with the word 'compassion' - but I struggle to square that with the fact that she let her 'patients' sleep in their own excrement and left the flies (and not medical staff) to tend to their wounds as these poor people died often horrifying and painful deaths. I struggle to square the word 'compassionate' with this woman, although perhaps seen through the lens of religion she appears differently, I cannot say as I lack the 'insight' of the supernatural thinker.
She happily took money from the barbarous dictatorship in Haiti (the Duvalier family), and numerous other less than savoury characters around the world, she also praised their rule (can you in anyway find it in yourself to praise the rule of Baby Doc Duvalier ?) and gave them the oxygen of legitimacy. This in itself is a crime.
What did Mother Threasa spend her vast charity wealth on ? Her HQ in Calcutta, her flagship hospice was a run down shit hole when she died as it always had been, with the terminally ill and dying sleeping on the floor, in their own urine, in rooms without even the comfort of a simple light bulb, let alone the medicine and pain relief they needed. The tens of millions gathered from her journeys around the world in her private jet were certainly not wasted on the sad and wretched figures crying in the dark at her hospices.
It is worth pointing out here that Mother Theresa preferred American clinics (specifically Californian) when she herself got sick.
What did she do with the money people thought was going to help the poor? This is no secret and if she was alive today I am sure she would proudly tell you of the 500 convents in more than a hundred countries she built, all bearing her name with typical Christian modesty and humility. Not hospitals or clinics, convents.
Nobody wants their 'cartoon' view of the world rocked too much, if we find out Ghandi wanted separation for black people we tend to skip over that so as not to lose a cherished idea, that of this lovely old man who saved all of India (and there is a lot of good in what he did do), so a kind of vested interest in the myth of Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was allowed to grow, and the media never bothered to ask any questions. Volunteers, who worked for Mother Theresa in Calcutta came back shocked and disillusioned by the stern ideology and horrific and unnecessary things they had witnessed but there was, and still is, no audience for the story. Their reports of the stench of the dying rooms of Calcutta were drowned out by the much preferred photo opportunities of her holding a baby or chilling with Princess D.
A child with leukemia lying in the corner of a lightless room in the stifling heat of Calcutta, denied even basic pain relief or medication (for which tens of millions had donated money) and allowed to die in her own shit is not great to me, the fact that this was driven by her religious convictions does not excuse it.
Her charity is the only one that refused to divulge their books, would not and refuse to do so to this day allow inspectors to check their financial records, but when you have taken money from some of the most corrupt regimes in the world, spunked most of it on convents named after yourself whilst letting your clinics and the people in them rot - I am not surprised.
I could go on !
