You got any evidence that white heterosexuals as a group feel alienated
by tolerance of others?

Hmm, this sounds rather more interesting than all the religions which
obsess over sex or booze or bacon butties. Why weren't we offered that
one instead of school assembly?

I think he must be talking about christianity. "Lazing around and doing
bugger all 24/7" is more or less a job description for contemplative
orders of monks and nuns.

Indeed. Full of victims.

It does make me laugh how people still think implying someone is a Daily Mail
is some kind of knock out punch. As if those limp wristed apologist rags The
Guardian and Observer are bastions of rational considered thought and opinion.
Most of the lentil munching journalists there wouldn't recognise rationality
if it kicked them in their organic nuts.

You're certain providing a great example of calm, considered rationality.

Along with all that Belgian-style beer.

So maybe I shouldn't have spent so much time at school Asking Silly
Questions about dinosaurs and carbon dating.

Considering what I really think about the guardian and the sort of people
who read it I felt those comments were pretty reserved.

Is the Guardian actually written (rather than read) by lentil-munchers?
On the admittedly rather small sample of a bloke I once a met on a
Eurostar and someone I knew at university, the Daily Mail isn't written
(entirely?) by foaming-at-the-mouth loonies in black shirts.

I suspect most of the Mail and Guardian journalists could switch papers
and re-slant their stories to suit the different audience with ease.
(what's the old one about The Sun - "Hero saves baby from mad dog"; The
Times - "Man rescues child from dog attack"; Daily Mail - "Immigrant
kills much-loved family pet").
