Not a refugee :)

Post by Tomi » Mon Mar 01, 2010 11:15 pm

Hey ho,

Well I'm not one of the many fleeing RDF in lifeboats for the promised land of rationalia, but due to the controversy surrounding RDF I happened upon this forum and have so far found it to be filled with a bunch of thoroughly interesting godless folk. A bit about myself: I am a law student from England and having, therefore, sold my soul to the devil, I am a most ardent opponent of religion. Philosophy and history fascinates me, although I am a more reluctant scientist. One of the many debts that I owe to the "new" atheists is the inspiration to further my scientific interests. As a student I spend most of my time doing my best to avoid doing anything resembling actual work (an endeavour in which I am sure this forum will be immensely valuable) and travelling around the country to attend various protests.

Kind Regards,

Tomi

Oh and that is a most impressive collection of smilies.

Hi and welcome, Tomi! :td:

Wow you people are certainly quick off the mark, thanks for the welcome.

And you know what they say the problem is with Laywer jokes:

Lawyers don’t think they’re funny, and nobody else thinks they’re jokes.

As a Ratz member, you will spend most of your time doing your best to avoid doing anything resembling actual work, and travel around the world to attend various pub meets. A good match, one hopes! :cheers:

By now we can just post the punchlines, right?

"A good start!"

Hmm far too many jokes fit with that punchline, although my personal favourite must be: What do you call 1000 lawyers chained together at the bottom of the Ocean?
