Whilst I do think there's a valid point in the whole "would the Beeb show something that was offensive to Muslims?" debate, I find it staggeringly fantastic that these people are unable to form an argument beyond "It's offensive to me, therefore other people shouldn't be allowed to see it."

Is my telly the only one that allows me to watch different channels or (gasp) turn it off when I want?

And remember, we all laughed at Wreck Gar in 1986... now we meet Wreck-Gars every day on the street, in the office (leastways I do...)

But Wreck-Gar is an open-minded person..

Oh, now I get it. We need more Wreck-Gars in the real world!

It would be much better,

trash would finnally be put to use and recycled properly, and health-care would get a new cheap revolution! Erm...put back together..glue..and some..wax..

Nonono, I meant the "You talk TV? - I talk TV" Wreck Gar... Honestly, I don't understand half of what my collegues are talking about, as I don't watch reality shows, talk shows or such mind-rotting diseases...

So who watched it then? Great fun, eh? Tap-dancing KKK!

Post by **snarl** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 4:30 pm

I did but turned off at the end for the footy on bbc1.

Amusing, but a bit overdone in parts I thought.

Liked the Devil though, he was great.

I found it thoroughly enjoyable!

I hear its moving to Broadway soon... its bound to cause a stir...

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 6:23 pm

I didn't watch it.

I went out and got merrily drunk instead.

However this means I also missed Match of the Day.

I have to say its the first time I ever heard an opera singer sing, "You c***ing c***ing c***!"

Respect.

Post by **Best First** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 10:28 pm

if u dont like it turn over - really ****s me off when 'groups' tell me what I shouldnt and shouldnt be watching, I dont care if Jesus has a nappy on, and I dont care if shock horror someone swears.

and when I hear that the BBC 2 director had to move his family because christian grous had threaterened his life... wankers, again religon rears its stupid head.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 3:21 pm

I just dashed off a quick letter of support to Stewart Lee and called the BBC to let them know that I had no problem with them showing Jesus in a nappy, or saying the word c*nt on tv. Incidentally, a friend of mine is going to get me a copy of the BBC's list of swearwords (in order of offensiveness, with last year's position in brackets afterwards

)

Back on topic, this is all because the Sikhs got their way the other week, and the Christians have seen that if you make a lot of noise and cry blasphemy it raises your public profile. Dammit, these people piss me off. I don't subscribe to their fairy stories, so why should they have any power over what I can/can't do? I'm seriously thinking of joining the NSS or a similar group to actively work against religion in society.

Post by **Best First** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 3:25 pm

i was looking at the NSS website earleir with similar thoughts - bit light on info as to what their agenda is tho.

The National Secular Society’s General Principles are as follows:

* Secularism affirms that this life is the only one of which we have any knowledge and human effort should be directed wholly towards its improvement.

* Affirming that morality is social in origin and application, Secularism aims at promoting the happiness and well-being of mankind. Secularism demands the complete separation of Church and State and the abolition of all privileges granted to religious organisations.

* Secularism affirms that progress is possible only on the basis of equal freedom of speech and publication; that the free criticism of institutions and ideas is essential to a civilised state.

* It asserts that supernaturalism is based upon ignorance and assails it as the historic enemy of progress.

* It seeks to spread education, to promote the fraternity of all peoples as a means of advancing universal peace to further common cultural interests and to develop the freedom and dignity of mankind.

* To remove an impediment to these objectives, we demand the complete separation of Church and State and the abolition of all privileges granted to religious organisations.

There is contradiction there... if they threaten someone's life, they are not christians. At least, no larger church would consider them that.

I guess they were members of some religious sect.

Actually they would...isn't the church all about forgiving and welcoming sinners back into the fold?

"Now Mr. Smith, are you genuinely sorry you killed that bastard heathen blasphemer? You are? Welcome back! Oops, mind where that blood's dripping on the pews, will you?"

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 9:48 am

It's the Rasputin principle. Forgiveness is good for the soul, but to be forgiven you have to sin. Therfore sin is good.

By sinning, you can be forgiven (through which you gain absolution and other fun prizes) and you also allow others to forgive, which gives them loads of bonus points.

Everyone's a winner. Well, apart from the poor sod on the receiving end of the sin, but they're an evil heathen who's going to burn in hell anyway, and are therefore undeserving of our sympathies. Oh? Is lack of compassion a sin? Quick - get with the forgiving!
