h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Precisely. In the end I got my point across (via the bloke I was chatting to in the smoking room before we were called, to get nearer the topic) and justice was served, but it still grated slightly.

Oh, the discrimination poured down upon the truth-tellers from the spiritually righteous... How I dance in the rain of their disrespect! HAHAHAHAHA!

You may be mixing your metaphors a bit there.

I thought she might have been mixing cocktails

Not at all, they are pouring it through a sprinkler rose, and from so high up it feels like rain by the time it gets to me... They are very high horses up there, riding around their sky castles


Seriously though, it does frustrate me how people are still so very prejudiced, so deeply and dont realise and dont ever challenge themselves...

Why on earth would someone who is honest enough to say 'swearing on a bible means nothing, my word is strong enough, as I am not christian and it could actually be sacriligeous for me to pretend to do it and mean it' be any less honest than someone who goes to church for marriages and funerals and the odd christmas service but doesn't ever invoke their spiritual selves except to appear righteous and judgemental without having to form their own opinions?

Your point about under 16s not being able to smoke isn't always true though. Not legally, but a fair few still will.

I know, I smoked at 13. However, at 13 I was too insufferable to be allowed an opinion.

And surely it's still tricky for an under 16yr old to be able to comment on the traditions of smoking inside a pub with your chosen alcoholic beverage?

>>I know, I smoked at 13. However, at 13 I was too insufferable to be allowed an opinion. <<


Incidentally, are you still 13?

Well we blagged it into the local decrepit "beer'n'fighting" hovel at about 15, but I'd hardly say our views should ever have been listened to.

Oh, and Robyn, I've not been 13 for nearly 9 years!

And still so insufferable!? I'm impressed! Are you a capricorn?

Are you hitting on me? If so, I direct you to my PS which clearly states the misfortune inherent in such a venture.

And no. I'm a Libra apparently.

I dont hit on people, I just shout at them from a distance and run away...

And I was hoping you'd shout at me back for bringing star signs into it. I'm disappointed now

Well I didn't seriously think anyone actually believed that the movements of planets affected personality/luck/etc. Then again, I didn't think anyone could believe that the absence of things in highly diluted water was a cure for everything except for the imminent zombie apocalypse...

I can shout at both of you if you like.

There's always a chance that the planets reflect how a person's personality manifests... That's how I see it anyway

I prefer killing dogs and reading the entrails. If it worked for Carthage...

bit messy for your average Virgo, too earthy for an aquarian or gemini and too much like dinner for a leo
