Happy Diwali

I respect VB more and more each day. If I ever started a forum, it would never include those who refused to learn at school, or ask questions about the world. Tragic ignorants. The vapid shall rule the world, and I'm glad I'll be long moved on by then.

It's great when you get to write your own reviews.

:)

Or to paraphrase what you appear to be saying: "I'm am glad I am not one of the stupid people"

Nothing's wrong in it. I encourage it. But making "light" of a Holy celebration is not a good thing.

Why on earth not ?

If you find the particular superstition that informs this celebration to be an insane and unhinged epistemology why would you not want to make 'light' of it.

The only thing superstition earns is mockery.

Its not cowardice on my part, because I can handle nearly any driver...

If you ever wished to intellectually joust with me, you'd lose.

Superman!

Where've you been guy? This place is a bit dead without you. I'm left to stir things up a bit, just to get some life into these people. We should have you on a retainer. That's my vote.

Superman!

Contemplating using the much-vaunted Ignore Function, for the very first time.

In that case, no one but the Irish are allowed to drink Guinness on St. Patrick's day, as it's racist/nationalist/whatever.

In fact, this is a very astute point. I think only the Irish should be allowed to drink Guinness, not just on St.Patrick's Day, but on any day. Too right. Religious beliefs/traditions must be respected. On this point, I'm with Mayahuel.

That was a compliment, but if you're 'enriched by it'.

I am wary of compliments.

I am wary of lions.

Strip clubs, here.

Balki I hate to break this to you but you in no way resemble an Antelope

Jesus, where's tynan? This place is dead.

:(

Perhaps someone should say a few words?

Religious beliefs/traditions must be respected.

Again, you are just baldly asserting this without offering up any reason to those who disagree.

If you are going to simply state unqualified ideas out of context then we might as well - for example in the middle of a debate on racism - state: 'Racist beliefs/traditions must be respected' (if that was our view).

If the above statement was put forward by a Nick Griffin type character would you take it on it's own merit - or ask him why he thought racist beliefs/traditions must be respected ?

So . . can you tell me why you believe religion should be respected ?

And what do you mean by the word 'respect' - how are you using it in this context ?

Do you mean to say (using a dictionary definition of 'respect') that religious belief must be 'admired' ?

Feel free to ridicule, and I hope you are enriched by it.

Silly straw man - no points.

Hinduism is a cuntish religion full of cunts. Last week I had to sit and listen to my cousin go on about how he was so glad the he had finally managed to find a wife of the right caste. It's (hinduism) a fucking extortion racket run by brahmins and can fuck right off.

If you're serious, you're being an idiot.

If not, you're making light of the situation, in which case you're a hypocrite.

true dat. i hate the fact that all hallows eve has turned into a 'trick or treat' fest. anyone buying a wizards hat and putting a banger through your your neighbours letterbox is denying the celebrations true heritage.
cuntz the lot of them.

genital mutilation too, they have been doing it for centuries so why deny a religious group their matriarchal view of the world?

My favorite curry vendor in London is actually Pakistani, and they're Muslords aren't they.

The threads probably moved on now to some tynan fuelled religous rant but thought id mention that Hindu Restaurants are actually extremely rare.

For two main reasons, as a social group Hindu's (which are mainly indian) sought out different industries to the bengali & pakistani immigrants who flocked here to work in factories/textile trades during the 50's-60's and later restaurants past the 70's. They never came here in as big numbers and were more culturally inclined to either more academic industries or grocery shops.

The other reason is that Hindu's are traditionally Vegetarian so proper hindu restaurants do not have broad enough an appeal. They do however have successful shops selling smaller treats like indian sweets & samosas etc. Of which you would still only get in an area with enough indian customers.

It's brewed in Nigeria, we had this conversation at West's already ;o))

Did anyone ever try that Guinness Red? Was it for agricultural use only?

Christmas is the celebration of Santa's birthday anyway not some religious celebration about a child in a manger/pagan god/muslim god/alter of the damned/vodka bottle.....

Some of it, not all =P

If that was case Nissan are an English car manufacturer.

For a lot of years I loved a girl more than life itself. She was Hindu. For a number of reasons

ah, fuck it... it doesnt matter.
