My list of friends,
1) FBM
Я пью за разоренный дом,
За злую жизнь мою,
За одиночество вдвоем,
И за тебя я пью, -
За ложь меня предавших губ,
За мертвый холод глаз,
За то, что мир жесток и груб,
За то, что Бог не спас.

I'm sure you'll have friends to burn before long. So to speak.

"Hey, let's all take a major dump on Ratskep, HURR HURR HURR." seems to be the attitude of too many in this thread...

Ok, it's maybe a dozen people, but that's still pathetic in my view.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

So one thread that has an unusually large number of non-regular members arguing humourlessly about RatSkep has caused you to reject the whole of Rationalia and its membership?
