Hey Britain, China says they'll nuke you if you keep calling Hong Kong a bloody colony. It's been ten years already.
Clarksonianismness is the official religion of United Kingdom car lovers. There are some a-Clarksonists and apostates but their cars are persecuted ruthlessly - honour-dentings are quite common in some parts of Britain.
That's true about Robbie Williams, but those grubby little bastards should leave the poor walruses out of it. They have enough to worry about, what with being confused with Bucket Seal all the time.

Racer Y, you must hang with some of those aggressive Amway gays The gay guys I know wouldn't bother with a straight guy except by accident, then they'd go "oops, my bad" and go away and recalibrate their gaydar.
Dark Times, the fact that Heath was playing a gay part in a film only makes it worse imho. However I realise I played a role keeping the argument going so I should cop to that. I just can't stand homophobia (or any other ridiculous hate or fear or bigotry that's completely irrational) and I can't let it go unanswered.
Anyway, the worst part about this is that Heath's 2 yr-old daughter won't ever know him.

Environmentalism's a religion, Becky? I'm certainly all for looking after our one & only planet and trying not to fill it up with shit, but I'm buggered if I can remember seeing anyone I know worshipping a tree in the last 20 or so years. I presume you were being hyperbolically Clarksonesque 
As always, with any group, it's the extremists who ruin it for the "normals" among us - don't listen to the dreadlocked, taupe-clad stinky hippies who chain themselves to walruses to protest Robbie Williams' continuing musical career. Listen to the calm, collected ones who try and accomplish realistically green goals in a reasonable, logical manner
As for the Scio cult, it's as much a church as my local pub is. Both are out to make as much profit as possible by clouding as many minds as possible. One crucial difference is that the barman doesn't try and make your life miserable if you switch to another pub, or if you tell everyone else his secrets - like if he waters down the scotch, for example. Oh, and the pub doesn't get tax exemptions just because a lot of people worship the place on the weekend

It may not work out the way they hope but hey - I'm just glad someone's sticking it to these shady UFO-cultists. I'm going to keep an eye on this, thanks headbanger :up:

Eloquent as always :up: You see, thing about gay people is, they don't hit on people who aren't gay so I think you're quite safe. How about that eh? One learns something new every day.

No, sounds interesting! I saw The Chaser boys have a chat with them though
I normally don't condone chemical weapons usage, but if someone napalmed those stone-age, retarded, inbred, six-fingered WBC psychopaths I'd give them a ****ing medal. There just aren't enough insulting words of four letters or more that can adequately describe how much I loathe those halfwits and nowhere near enough time for me to even begin to express how ashamed I am that they're (apparently) the same species as me, or how much I'd like to strangle them all with their own intestines.
Ah, those wacky Mormons Mormonology was built by a fraud on an existing ancient myth but I get what you mean. L Ron Hubbard, Sci-o Prime himself, famously said that the best way to make a million dollars was to start one's own religion. Well, guess which bloke rhyming with "cupboard" died filthy rich after doing just that? It seems that his fellow Sci-os have their irony chips removed by those little psi-meter thingies during indoctrination
Shit, we're still off-topic. I mean, "yay" =]

Boris, that was what's called a back-handed apology "OK, being gay's not a disease but it still aint normal". Um, you're forgiven? 50% anyway. But please trust me, "gay" is normal. It's as normal for gay people as being straight is for straight people!
Let's turn this back on-topic anyway. I foresee we're not gonna get anywhere having a rational discussion.
But before we do: you're right, Kev. Homosexuality isn't anywhere near as wierd as religion (any religion - don't want anyone to feel picked on). Religious belief is a choice. Lord knows why you'd choose to live by some millenia-old magic story when reality's so much more fascinating, but hey - live and let live

Aussie, very decent actor. Apart from some great local films he sas in Brokeback Mountain with Jake Gyllenhall and just finished playing Joker in the new Batman flick opposite Christian Bale. 28 years old and it looks like he killed himself. Sad waste.
This just in: every other goddam parade in the world is a "straight" parade. Especially those ones with all the bright colours and festive music and sparkly costumes and happy dancing people that totally look gay, like your average Christmas pageant.
Another scoop: being gay is as natural as not being gay. Considering dozens of species of non-human animals including bonobo chimps & dolphins exhibit homosexual behaviour I'd hardly call it unnatural, a "disease" or even "cool". "Cool" implies that there's a choice involved like it's some kind of fashion, like those stupid Crocs shoes. Animals don't follow fashion, which clearly rules them out as following a silly trend. And, ss animals ourselves, I don't think we have any more choice about sexual preference than bonobo chimps or dolphins do. You may not like it but "gay" is natural animal behaviour, has always been with us and won't go away
But since you consider being gay a "disease" I won't take the discussion any further as it's pretty obvious what kind of mentality I'm dealing with here. Just watch out when you leave the house - you might catch "gay" from a chair in a restaurant or at a bus stop or something. When you walk past that loud nightclub on the weekend, hold your breath because "gay" might be spread by air! If you caught it you'd have to hate yourself! How horribly confusing!

Since we're respecting the dead, Boris, how about we keep the homophobia to a minimum?
*sigh* Screw it.
*grabs can opener, looks for "Worms" label*
What the holy hell is "gayism" anyway?
Some new ideology I haven't heard about? How exactly is it being "promoted"? Sure, I could contact my friends in Melbourne's Gay Mafia (La Cosa Rosa Nostra ) and ask their propaganda department myself but I'd rather hear your personal point of view.
Or is it just a paranoid reaction to the fact that gay people aren't being treated like deviants as much as they used to be because people are realising they're just people, which makes lots of straight people nervous for some inexplicable reason? Hit me with your best "them pre-verted gayers are roonin' the sanctity of decent straight Christian life and won't someone think of the children for baby Jesus' sake" shot

RIP Heath Ledger :(
This just in.

Considering LFS doesn't have "random" mechanical failures like real racing does, I don't see what's wrong with treating a disconnect as a DNF caused by mechanical failure It may not seem fair if you get punted from a race by something beyond your control, but having your engine explode on the grid at the Le Mans 24hr isn't fair either. It would certainly cut down on intentional disconnects and, for some people, add to the realism
But then, this is all academic for me. I don't race enduros or leagues and this has and will have absolutely no effect on either my real or virtual existence. TBH I'm killing time because work is doing my head in today and I'm thoroughly over it

Correct me if I've misread the situation, but I'm not sure if it's possible to recognise the difference between a random disconnect and someone just disconnecting on purpose Maybe you'll just have to trust people to do the right thing. I know, it's a horrible thought...
