I don't even mind their big back-story about aliens and what-not. Ignoring the fact that a sci-fi writer wrote it, who's to say that's any more laughable than other stuff. And you could say that maybe he was just inspired by the spoken word or universal secrets to write his other stuff, which isn't that much more implausible than where many of the stories for the Bible came from.
I guess if you have read any of his fairly pedestrian SF (sadly I have) and his even crappier dianetics stuff you would see that it was a cynical attempt to mold some crappy SF ideas into a religion. All the cliches are there - mixed in with your mumbo jumbo you have super men, good and evil aliens, spacecraft that look exactly like dc-8's, volcanos...it only gets stupider.
A true testament to how idiotic you can be and still raise followers...
Regard to the catholic church - here in AU they are in a bit of a stink about the whole child molestation cases getting somehow shredded.
"When it came to reforming our classification system, only the Greens declared unequivocal support for the introduction of an R18+ rating for games.
“It is bizarre that Australia is one of the only countries in the Western world without an adult classification for games,” says Scott Ludlam, Greens Senator for Western Australia. “We believe that a change to the classification system should occur in the next term in parliament.”"
Not for me, i found it creepy and disturbing. Did not find it the least bit funny either, but then i am very grumpy. Glad its gone, maybe now we can complain about every ad and get our tv for without any at all.
it's Tonga vs New Zealand in the World cup tonight - Tonga has promised to hurt the All Blacks for signing up all their best players and then never using them again.
I'm going to the pub to watch the rugby. Maybe i'll see you after - how about Agincourt (or whatever it's called these days)
It features random play, operates headless, song voting, different users and playlists.
Playlists are the best feature on this jukebox prog, here is why from the website:
Song groups and playlists Many MP3 players include playlists to permit a collection of songs to be played as a whole. Plenty go further and permit the contents of a playlist to be played in random order. GJukebox improves on this through the use of song groups. When selecting songs at random, Jukebox can be set to include songs in certain groups exclusively, non-exclusively or to exclude songs from a group. When organizing your songs you simply create groups to contain for example, Jazz and Blues. You can then play just Jazz, just Blues, both or neither ( ie everything else ). Instead of forcing you to tell the Jukebox explicitly what you want to hear, you can use the groups to define moods and occasions. It's simple, logical and powerful.

The greens are in favour of r18.

Yeah! Stupid NIIMBY nutjobs, not wanting the oil industry to build refineries near them. Bet they feel silly right now!
You do *not* want to make philosophers angry...I did it once and I think I got away with it, others, not so lucky.

Good point about the Free trade agreement, but...

When Buffy is only available in Palladium signed formats, the kiddies will seek it out as well.
Stupid mozilla, downloaded this as a web page. Wonder if i should cut 'n' paste or just start again?
Bugger it, i'll just start again...
Video phones sound good until my wife rings me up while i'm in the pub/playing golf/etc and says, "You said you were at work, show me."
I predict they wont take of for this reason - Do kiddies really want their mum to know where they are?
