That's nonsense. Athiests don't think there's a god. No more . It's not a moral code, unlike religions.

Oh I'm more than happy to do that. It's sooo obvious all cultures base their events around the seasons and they've all stolen from previous cultures. Christmas tree comes from nordic countries and putting food on trees in the middle of winter to feed animals, for example. Birth during the darkest nights. Could that in any way possibly symbolise the end of the year and birth of the new year. Of course it does. I'm actually fine with 'Christmas' as it's a nice time to spend with family , freinds and have some downtime. Giving and receiving gifts also nice. The word is losing it's religious meaning in Europe even though the clue's in the name.

It's a fairly simple equation for me. The odds of everything just existing are incredibly small and pretty well impossible. I find the idea that something exists from out of nowhere with the power to create everything even more unlikely. Humanity has thousands and thousands of Gods. Why is yours the truth? Every one has a different moral code. Weird that. Believe what you like. Just don't make laws that all should follow based on interpretation of a moral code from thousands of years ago.

It's not that bad. It's also not going to knock your socks off.

Just read Malcom Dome died today. One of the most influential music journalists in the UK for our music over the last 30 years. Kerrang, Raw and more. May he rest in peace.

Loving it. Right in my sweet spot.

Now this is a fun album. Played it a few times this morning and really liking it.

If China really do go after Taiwan things will get challenging for a while but , like Russia in the Crimea, it's probably not worth the fight. The future battles will be over rights to water as rivers dry up from overuse higher up and rising sea levels causing people to need to move. Look to India, Pakistan and China. Who gets pulled in , anybody's guess.

The end result of winning capitalism is dictatorship. Middle the best place to be .

What do you think socialism is? Democrats in the USA really isn’t left on a world stage.

Your 'left' Democrat government is right of a lot of 'right' parties in other countries. Hard to compare.

Yep. Fully dreadful. Get to fuck. But the chicks loved it.

It's daft because there will be a huge amount of investment and then they'll end up cancelling.

The number of sports people who've got Covid has always been way above other groups statistically and you can trace back any number of higher incident rates around Europe and the UK to sporting events. The recent end of the India tour was hardly a surprise , though I do suspect in no small part due to the players wanting their IPL payday. Just not the right time to play this tournament the way they're planning. Is there any plan for spectators?

Good to hear. Will load it up in the morning.

Loads better song than Absurd. Proper G n R feel to it.

Funny. Read this thread after listening to it a few times and thinking I've heard everything on it before. I think the problem is his sound is so distinctive and he never goes away from that formula. Basically what Geoff predicted. Bored of it already.

What?!, band that you are excited about a release and they deliver. Enjoyed the first few spins and will be spinning it many more times , I'm sure.

Perhaps too soon. Though the best/worst pub quiz name this week was 'There's never a good time to pull out'.

Why I was right to support this terrible tragedy, by every MP | The Daily Mash View from the UK's version of the onion.

500 years. It's an absolute disaster for women there.

It never used to be this bad. I think it may have reached the point it's worse talking about politics than religion. Not sure I can put it down to one particular thing but I suspect the advent of 24 hour 'news' where opinion is promoted as news and then social media down to a lot of it. We're increasingly living in bubbles and not even able to hear others opinions. It's tearing friendships and families apart.

Seems everybody surprised by the speed of the collapse. Got to be devastating if you're a soldier injured in the conflict, or lost a loved one, and now see it worth absolutely nothing.

All for Capitalism. Just with some regulation to try and control the excesses. Still don't get the generational money arguments if you believe in 'hard work' bringing rewards. Tax inheritance high. Make them also work and if they are good the rewards come, right? The reality is the greatest indication of how successful you'll be in life is the income of your father. That seems wrong to me.

Would be good if it wouldn't be down to party sniping. Huge mistakes from day one and this hot potato has been thrown back and forth for 20 years. Ultimately the US , and allies , fucked up. To the rest of the world it's the US not any president. Let's not forget who started this. Was left and right parties from the US and UK.
