Ahem...

My whole family are now atheists. And I really can't think of anyone I know that's religious.

I like Dawkins, but the man needs a few more angry feminist friends and TO GET OFF TWITTER.

Nope, he's going to have hair for ages. Just like his dad......

UK police have an arms unit that they can deploy if said incident involves fire arms, but under normal circumstances the police do not respond to calls, even violent ones, armed.

I know right! We don't even have guns. We're adorable.

That last bit resulted in tea on my monitor! Brilliant!

I know I'm very lucky and this isn't usually doable, but I've only ever had to have one of my wisdom teeth removed and I was able to get it done with just local anesthetic. It really didn't hurt that much at all, but I've never been so grateful of my dentists strong forearms. Cost me about £16. Fucking love the NHS.

I know right?

Yep, I'm with you. In Scotland, especially after the handgun ban, ANY shooting (even if no one dies) is headline news / leading story. Yeah, we have assaults and stuff and a bit of a problem with knives (we get stabby sometimes). But those result in less fatalities, because it's just harder to kill someone without a…

Starship Troopers is amazing!

I know right! Everyone here's so f**king rational and secular.

Yes, but I would argue that if it results in a more accepting society then it's a useful trope.

And I do wonder if the mixed-raced thing has a part to play in people's sympathies. In the UK it's not a big deal, but America, well...? I'm sorry to have to say it, but America did have that whole Cheeros ad fiasco....

Ooooo! Nice call back.
