I would love to join in one this one, but I'm not sure if it will work because my exams have just started! I'd be able to make it if it wasn't too late on a Sunday Donny's time - I'm 5 hours ahead of him. I just don't want to stay up too late, as I have an exam at 9 on Monday morning. Just...

I'm pretty sure that the difference in covers is to do with the marketing of the product. I know that DVDs and games in NZ have different covers to those in Australia because the people in both countries gravitate towards different cover styles. Perhaps it is the same in this case? And I...

Jennifer - why do you want to support a murderer?

That's a tough question, and I had to look up the definition of racism to create an answer: If this is an accurate definition, then no, I don't think that stereotypes are a form of racism unless these stereotypes are applied in a way that implies superiority. I'm not sure that I would really...

I won't be buying it. I don't want to support it. I think that it's disgusting that people can make money off of their crimes.

Oh, thatwas so much fun! I'm going to go out and get a non-budget mic so hopefully my connection won't make funny noises next time. Hopefully we can set up another soon. It was great chatting to you Sofia, Gem and DS. It's a shame I missed you this time, Lady.C - maybe next time!

I'm trying to join, but all it's showing is a screen with the participants and how long it has been going for

Happy Birthday DS!

But using technology to cure someone who would otherwise die is also "playing God". Is that immoral too?

In New Zealand we have a bad problem of reverse racism. I won't go into all the detail because that would take forever, but I will mention some key examples, such as an all-Maori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) rugby team, a seperate electrate roll for Maoris, all-Maori schools...

Ooo, that's 11 am here - I won't have to whisper this time :D I might have to leave a little early though, as I'm going shopping on Saturday for presents for my friends as it's my last week of school next week (for ever :() Looking foward to seeing you all there! DS - are you going to invite...

Communion by Whitley Strieber The Woman Who Walked into Doors by Roddy Doyle Whiteout by Ken Follett

In making that statement I was assuming that the party in Hell was the only time during the episode that Steve Irwin appeared. If that's true, it was definitely chucked in. It starts with a party in Hell, with Satan stating that he doesn't want anyone except VIPs to come into his area. His...

I must admit that I cheated and looked the names up on Wikipedia :o :p For those who aren't familiar with them, here are the comments that each of them made: Earl Butz: In 1976, Butz became the center of a controversy when it was revealed that he frequently told jokes that demeaned...

So why list men who have been fired because of offensive comments (mostly racial)?

I've seen the clip now - I don't find it at all funny. It's just lame - it seems like they have just chucked a luke-warm joke into there to cause controversy. Like the person Lenny quoted, I just think that it's tacky. It's unnecessary and tacky.

I do understand South Park humor, and usually I find it extremely funny. Usually I really like the fact that they bluntly ignore the 'PC rules'. But not this time. If the episode does indeed mock his death, then it is utterly tastelss. Perhaps he was more respected here Down Under, Jughead...

I really do think that it's a bit too early to be making fun of his death. In another year, sure, but what a horrible thing to do to all the people that really cared for him. They're obviously trying to be over-controversial in order to bring in viewers. And it will obviously work.

Was it a good book, though? I can understand someone not wanting to buy the book because the author is trying to cash in on someone else's talent, but what's so bad about finishing the book?

Ah, right. Now that I think of it, the only two Irish authors that I have read (Roddy Doyle and Frank McCourt) did leave out the quotation marks. It wasn't so bad, though, as the dash worked reasonably well. I disagree. I find pages a lot easier to read with punctuation marks, and feel that...
