What grinds my gears...

Just bringing some Caribbean flavour!!

Incidentally, I can confirm there isn't any lilt here, but they do drink a lot of Ting, which is quite similar and goes well with Rum.

 

Asking for a 'Rum 'n' Ting' would sound proper Suffolk!

My God, just reading through some of the most recent posts in this thread and I'm stunned... was yesterday/today declared 'National behave-as-if-you're-5-years-old day' and nobody told me? Seriously, a few of you need to take a look at yourselves as I'm embarrassed for you. 

 

 

That's nice to know.

 

Engage brain... think really hard... think again... then post mature, intelligent comment.

The idea that because footballers earn vast amounts of money they should act differently to normal people. Yeah fair enough they should try not to be massive plebs but they shouldn't have to do the "right thing" when the person saying it would probably do the same.

Believing in a Abrahamic religious deity is not a problem. Having the influence of it so wound into the national psyche of the most powerful nation on the planet and affecting everyone regardless of belief is a problem. Ostracising those who don't believe to the extent that a group like this has to be set up in the most powerful nation on the planet is so far past being simply a problem you need a fvcking huge telescope to see it.

What will it take for them to get the message?

A preaching athiest is just as annoying as a preaching Church goer in my opinion. I'm athiest/agnostic myself, but I don't ridicule people's beliefs for having a different outlook to mine.

America is so backward in so many ways, yet it will forever be applauded for being the so called great nation that it is so often made out to be.

America is as much a theocracy as Iran.

Iran doesn't have many gay pride marches or bikini clad Spring Breakers, to pluck just two examples out of the air.

That said, I'm sure if you and a moustache wearing boypal held hands whilst walking along the road wearing atheist slogan T shirts in the bible belt, it would be frowned upon.

Not sure they would leave the outcome at mere frowning in Iran, though...

One poll, quoted in the article, found that 70% of Americans would rather have an openly gay president, than an atheist; another suggested rapists are more trustworthy.
