What the W-T-F?

I am personally upset and very unhappy at any situation in which I am forced to agree with anything said by anyone as insanely bigoted and ignorant as my work colleague, the trainee chef. But Saturday involved a somewhat heated discussion over abortion, with me and trainee on one side and Nicola and chef on the other side (as opposed to the usual

Didn't some woman just get in trouble over there for letting her 14 year old babysit his little brother? I guess the problem was that she insisted on doing a background check first!

I don't recall the story, but it sounds vaguely familiar.
I'm just baffled that the fucking prime minister could say something so... stupid! We're so fucked. :(

Hey, pedophiles gotta work...

I wonder if Cameron would be so quick to overlook criminal records checks and health and safety legislation when hiring someone to look after his children. :\

Waaaiiiit... so Crazy Nicola doesn't believe in a god, but she has all these other psycho beliefs? I don't know if a crazy Christian or a crazy conspiracy theorist is worse.

"I asked god for a miracle and he gave me my autistic cousin."

I read this as a joke too. I'm SO glad there's no hell.

Well, I think I've mentioned her 'belief in dreams' and astrology and all that. But, yeah, even Buddhists who don't believe in gods may still believe in Karma and rebirth and all that shit.

I know, right!? Sounds like a line from Blackadder or something. XD

I know some atheists (myself included) who "suspend disbelief" and get into astrology for fun, which doesn't mean we'd base our decisions on it any more than we would on Sim City. I guess she's not that type, though?
As for dreams, depends what you "believe in" them as. They make pretty good hints at the contents of your subconscious, mediocre prophecy and really lousy messages from angels/mermaids/tooth fairies.

I guess because astrology is not only absurd, but the fact that I know there are people out there who take it seriously to the point of being unhinged, I have a hard time suspending disbelief with that sort of thing.

I've only ever got vague answers from her about how 'believing in your dreams can lead to better futures'. I assume by 'dreams' she means 'aspirations' and 'believe in' to mean 'pursue'. :\

Haha, you know I love the extent to which hompophobes overrate themselves. Anyone else noticed that? "Ah don't want you fuckken me in de ass!" Why would I want to, you ugly freak?

It turns out that the uglier a guy you are, the more homophobic. Sour grapes?

It's a common theme. I wonder if a racist would be offended if an immigrant didn't want to take his job and land etc.
