If you are an atheist you are a revolutionary new-thinker, and must strongly criticise and mock every move of religions, especially the Roman Catholic Church, since every single priest ever is a paedophile.

I have learned the following:

• I am always wrong and everyone else is right.
• I have been taught about grammar.
• Never look in the "Nope thread" when Augmerson has posted.
• Some people can be ridiculously cynical to even the most benevolent post.
• Some people do not have a sense of humour.
• Some people will argue over any little thing just for the "lulz".
• Some people are extraordinarily generous.
• Some people are remarkably witty.
• Some people are gorgeous.....some are not.

And never under any circumstances tell AH you have a free gaff.

Thanks to Boards I now know what a 'made scone' place is, and the meaning of 'fo shizzle ma nizzle'.

My life is complete.

I must have left that thread early, it's still a mystery to me. Worse, I forget what thread it was.

Edit: Mystery solved.

Mention, quote or reference any newspaper in existance and before long someone will refute your point simply calling said paper 'a rag'.

Seems every paper, from the most serious business journal to the worst of the sensationalist red tops is regarded by at someone, somewhere as 'a rag', rendering the term pretty meaningless.

No they won't, that's not true and I have opinion poll evidence to prove it.

A lot of people are extremely under informed on any given issue yet insist on giving an opinion regardless.
