Why does Richard Dawkins bother?

livewyre @livewyre (2450) 8 Oct 12

I think I know the answer, but my point is that I find it frustrating that someone who supposedly does not believe in God has such a big 'chip' on his shoulder about it? How can he be so derogatory about something he is supposed...

There are no Jews, Christians or Muslims here...

livewyre @livewyre (2450) 10 Mar 10

There are just people who have adopted a faith or set of beliefs - what I mean is that people should be seen first and foremost as fellow human beings. Two Jews may not think the same, two Christians may have different...

I just discovered people are earning money doing 'captcha work'

livewyre @livewyre (2450) 15 Feb 10

livewyre @livewyre (2450) 25 Jan 10

This cry is aimed at those parents that buy everything their children desire regardless of the cost, and allow their kids to push the boundaries further than you allow your kids.. Peer pressure is right there for five-year olds,...
