    Why do people hate religion?

    I don't think that's ever true. If you actually did believe that the god existed and that disobeying him would mean hellfire for eternity, you'd follow the rules even if u didn't like them (to an extent, I don't like to think I'd go on murderous rampages for God if he threatened me, but hey then...

    Yea, that's a real good thing to be admitting. Probably one of the most famous Australian born accademics and you've never even heard of her.

    The insult has to be tailored to the person of course, but I do think that such insults being used does somewhat reveal people's true feelings.

    Personally I think her worst decision was appearing on ACA, she should have refused to do so.

    Steve Irwin dead

    I don't think the reaction would have been much different if a man made it, perhaps just if they were made in a different way, with more wit and flare.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Yea... personally I'm quite sick of 1984 references, especially by socialist types. I think both 1984 and Animal Farm make quite specific points about revolutions and corruption at the highest level.

    Steve Irwin dead

    Maybe once you get off your high horse, calling anyone who disagrees with you a 'stupid twat' the debate can continue.

    Would that apply to small businesses too?

    Why do people hate religion?

    Er this is how you respond to me pointing out that supernatural claims are not falsifiable? a weak attack on science? As for ideas being thrown out, I support that... thrown out upon contradictory evidence comming up. Until such evidence comes up, they are valid as the evidence which supports...

    Steve Irwin dead

    It doesn't detract from the fact that he did basically go around pissing off heaps of animals so he could get good footage for his tv show. I don't really get that. How much did the common Australian know steve erwin? He was some guy who said crikey and handled alot of animals to most...

    Steve Irwin dead

    Well by that criteria paris hilton, jennifer lopez and 50 cent are some of the most important people in the world. As for it being a stunt, I don't see it. These comments seem in line with how she usually is, the current event was quite popular so she commented on it. The media made it into a...

    Well firstly, Germaine Greer is probably one of the most known feminists, accademics of our time. Whether you agree with her often or not (I don't), it shows more of your own ignorance to claim she has 'done less' than Steve Irwin. He may now be an Icon, I don't think he was much of one...

    Why do people hate religion?

    I know that there's not with regard to God, the God question is generally outside of the realm of science... as is santa claus, the tooth fairy, magic dragons, the loch ness monster, our reality being a dream, etc etc - The problem is that all these claims are not falsifiable. I didn't mean...

    Why do people hate religion?

    A natural, scientific explanation will always be better then a supernatural one. The natural ones are falsifiable, testable, the supernatural are not. We don't have a solid scientific explanation of how the universe came into being and at this point in time I'm doubtful that we ever will...

    Cruelty towards animals - are we fair?

    Re: is it ok to kick a cat? Because cats are big, cuddly and we've grown up with cartoons of them talking/acting/thinking just like human beings. Other cultures don't have such inhibitions. Even if you believe, if asked the question, that a cat's experience of consciousness is likely very...
