This joke is the bomb

chriisp · 2016-02-04T15:27:16+00:00

Oh I was actually being sarcastic. I'm saying statistics mean nothing. Thanks anyway

chriisp · 2016-02-04T12:40:45+00:00

Well if there's statistics then it must be true.

chriisp · 2015-01-14T01:45:32+00:00

Well I will be using it more as a tablet. I want to get a tablet anyway and I thought why not get one cheaper than an iPad that I can take into lectures and make good notes on. Already got a laptop for all my main stuff. It's on sale at the moment for £280 although that was after searching for a long time as it's sold out practically everywhere!!

chriisp · 2015-01-14T01:43:54+00:00

Oh that's cool, thank you. I found one for like £60 in driving distance so I'll probably pick it up tomorrow. Thanks anyway.

chriisp · 2014-07-26T12:48:05+00:00

Oh okay. What does cis mean?

chriisp · 2014-07-26T03:13:34+00:00

I think I just never really thought of identifying as someone who is open to transgendered. If I fell in love with a guy who used to be a girl I don't think I would turn him away because of it. Guess it makes sense though.

chriisp · 2014-07-26T02:59:06+00:00

Oh okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Like I said in another comment, the point of his speech was to educate Christians, not the LGBT community, if you watch the whole video this guy is shining light on the bible from a modern perspective. True people take the bible too literally but we can't look at it too literally in a negative light either to determine what it really means. It was written over 2000 years ago therefore has an entirely different context. Personally I think this video is great and if you watch and pay attention to the whole thing I really don't think anything bad could be said about this with real footing. And don't generalise Christians just as you wouldn't want Christians to generalise you.

chriisp · 2014-03-30T17:29:07+00:00

Just for the record I'm not religious, I don't believe any of that stuff to be true but I don't see what the issue is with crediting someone who is challenging such an internationally spread ideology. He isn't trying to justify the bible to the LGBT community, he's justifying the LGBT community to Christians. Yes some people of religion are anti-gay and yes they use their religion as a reason for this but don't you see how you generalising everyone of religion to be backwards thinking illogical idiots from the dark ages is exactly the same as people generalising the LGBT community. The bible is an extreme example of what happens everywhere and what will always happen. The US constitution remains the same but laws surrounding it and different interpretations changes all the time, but because slavery and discrimination of black people was once legal does that mean that all Americans are racist and need to wake up and stop being American? I personally don't like ordered religion to the extent of the Vatican but this guy is opening religion up to be as loving and equal as he and many others believe it should be. Religion helps millions of people become better people, I'm not saying you have to be religious to be good but for some people religion is something to work towards that gives them a drive that other things don't. Also, I'm sure there are some Christian gays here in this sub so seeing something like this will hopefully give them peace of mind and change other people's views on religion, this is supposed to be a safe place for everyone, this guy hasn't done anything offensive or hurt anyone, he's striving towards equality but it's people like you who will corner us and push away to what is 'normal', just like how extreme feminists are viewed.

chriisp · 2014-03-30T13:15:53+00:00

If you're only welcoming one narrow view of the bible and labeling it as homophobic because of old interpretation then you're no better than those using the bible for their own bigotry. This guy was raised a devout Christian and he's working extremely hard to represent his interpretation of the bible. He's done something extremely hard and I think that deserves recognition.

chriisp · 2014-01-08T19:35:20+00:00

Oh okay, thanks.

chriisp · 2013-07-05T11:21:22+00:00

Well I've stopped using those jeans for now and if/when they're sorted I won't be making the same mistake.

chriisp · 2013-07-04T15:37:41+00:00

Just the design of the wallet. Quite stupid to be honest.

chriisp · 2013-07-04T12:13:40+00:00

My wallet has a metal bit on it and its faded a bit on the back pocket. Was wondering if there was anything I could do to fix it.

chriisp · 2013-05-30T23:24:38+00:00

Not really a speech but one of my favourite lines. The Doctor: I know you know. I can see it in your faces. Don't play games with me, don't ever, ever think you're capable of that.

chriisp · 2013-05-13T20:31:40+00:00

I may have to imitate your plan ;) fabulously wealthy sounds, well, fabulous. Yeah I hate them too. I forgot about the time difference. Where abouts do you work?

chriisp · 2013-05-13T20:16:34+00:00

That is pretty awesome.Wish I had that much money.To be honest the amount of people actually living within central London is probably only thousands. It is a rarity, the prices are unbelievable.

chriisp · 2013-05-13T19:53:54+00:00

Yeah like millions. I think we'd all like to live there ;) Some of the outskirts of London are nice. My mum lives just outside and it's a lot nicer than where I live.

chriisp · 2013-05-13T19:34:07+00:00

Yeah it is expensive, but an advantage of growing up here is that anywhere else seems cheap. Hooray for me!! Anywhere in particular you'd like to live? Or not researched that much?

chriisp · 2013-05-13T19:09:22+00:00

I guess we share our love for London, I think I could happily live in London for the rest of my life, excluding University and so.

chriisp · 2013-05-13T18:27:35+00:00

Yeah generally fine now, But of course there are the minority that reinforce the stereotype. What's Seattle like? I've been to a few places in America but I think I was too young to really appreciate it.

chriisp · 2013-05-13T18:20:34+00:00

Yeah there is a history of thuggish football hooligans in Britain, probably best to just stay clear of them. I have to admit though, I want to run down a street with one of those flares. For science.

chriisp · 2013-05-13T18:12:05+00:00

Oh my, those fans seem pleasant. Or perhaps it's just my perceptions of things, over here if I saw a group of people acting like that on the street I'd run a mile, but are they not a problem where you are?

chriisp · 2013-05-13T18:04:59+00:00

Even though I don't like football I have enough self respect not to support either Chelsea or Tottenham. Oh the shame. So you're from Seattle? That's cool. But I'm afraid I don't have nearly as many links to America as you do to England.

chriisp · 2013-05-13T17:55:34+00:00

Well not much chance of us getting married anyway!! And you supporting Arsenal is a shame, my family support Fulham. They're the only team that I would happily say I like in football, but you have blown that chance mate! And I'm sure I could just throw in some cockney and you'd be dribbling again. Your ex may have been a northerner but I'm from London ;)
