Thats the closest I have come to feeling patriotic for a long time.

Britons have always been very smart and down to earth people. Also, very quaint and they always try their best.

Dole Feb 26th, 2004 08:03 AM

Quaint?? Pistols at dawn bitch :posh

Zhukov Feb 26th, 2004 10:57 AM

Why is Canada never polled in these surveys? We're better Philistines than the British. >:

On a side note, I got word a church is being built that will be dedicated to my late grandfather (my dad's father). Since I'm named after my grandfather, therefore my name will be the first thing people see when they go for mass. Me, the fence-sitting agnostic.

C'mon Tom, lets duke it out to see who is the most spiritually bankrupt.

mesobe Feb 26th, 2004 12:07 PM

Even when I'm asleep, I'm downloading porn. Beat that, beeyotch!

I've been arrested several times for wanking over car crashes.

Buffalo Tom Feb 26th, 2004 12:13 PM

I laugh my ass off whenever I see videos of Terry Fox, the guy with the prosthetic leg who ran/hobbled his way across Canada.

I feed laxatives to retarded people and make them run on treadmills.

Buffalo Tom Feb 26th, 2004 12:49 PM

I once told a Christian girl that I was a church-goer, just so I could get into her pants.

This is the reason the UK is at the top of my list of places to move to after college. Dole, can you recommend a good city for a musician?

davinxtk Feb 26th, 2004 04:14 PM

Wow, I think the bit about Americans being among the most faithful is a bunch of horse shit.


They probably pulled their polls from the wrong areas of the country.

Perndog Feb 26th, 2004 04:17 PM

They're called averages, bucko, and yes, America is a very hardcore Christian country. I don't know where you live, but there are entire states down south where everyone except your kooky neighbor goes to church every week, and even the most secular areas have very high percentages of believers, even if they're not very observant.

I'm sorry, what part of my post are you correcting here?
I'm missing it.


I live in Massachusetts. To be fair, I've never been very far south. I do know, however, that the south isn't by any means the entire country; nor is it nearly the most populated area.

And I guess I am thinking of practicing individuals as being the only ones who actually should have answered.

Big Papa Goat Feb 26th, 2004 06:16 PM

So where are people more faithful?

Exactly. The poll wasn't about good religious churchgoing folk, it was counting believers in general, which is a more significant statistic for the contrast they were trying to make. Talk to a bunch of random strangers in the U.S. and they may not all go to church but most of them will believe in God. Talk to a bunch of strangers in Britain and most won't even be believers.

Britain only exists for the amusement of the USA. Parliament makes our politicians laugh.

Dole Feb 27th, 2004 06:20 AM

Hmmm...your political hero was a 4th rate movie actor, whose level of intelligence was borderline subnormal. The USA only exists so we can say 'jesus, at least we're not them'.

pjalne Feb 27th, 2004 06:38 AM

You are all wrong. The entire rest of the world is there for us Norwegians to laugh at. In fact, the entire world and the parts of Norway I don't live in are there for the place I live in to laugh at. In fact, everything that isn't my bedsitter is there for me to laugh at.

davinxtk Feb 27th, 2004 08:42 AM

Word.

Hello, today I'm calling myself Dole, as that is my only source of income in the UK. :/

Cities suck in the UK, plus they use a differant scale for naming their population centres, so the town of Brighton, is what you want.

However, all the posers live there, so I'd personally suggest that you live in Crawley, which is far better situated for commuting up to London and down to Brighton as needed. :)

On an unrelated matter, I have a house for rent in Crawley, all interested parties please PM me. ;)
