You can change my name back to Mr Chris, rather than Mr Christ, if you wouldn't mind. I get enough trouble with my ex-religion as it is.

Jonarob's sad because he no longer gets the time to read any of these threads, so ends up presuming that everything's cliquey because he doesn't understand them. |

You got a predictable response on SA where the consensus was you're an idiot for not changing the name and you deserve it. Cunts. |

Yes, well, SA is infested with the dregs of the internet, after all. Well, except for the ultra-dregs on 4chan. But then, I think Goatse man's distended anus has had a more positive effect on the internet than SA |

And of course 4Chan is a spin off of SA anyway. |

Americans have a very strong anti gay agenda built into them from childhood, so anything to do with male genitalia is immediately ridiculed. They can't help it. It's a defence mechanism to prove how very heterosexual they all are. |

It's definitely true with "Jesusland", though. The coastal regions, much less so. It's actually really hard to generalise about America, as it's more or less 50 seperate countries joined together. Fascinating place in many ways. |

Well, it's in there -- about 15-20 pages in as a sidebar to an article about Metal Gear Solid 4. Very simple writeup, it's no more than a couple of hundred words long. I'll get a scan up later. |

I just don't understand all this 'offence' business. Even if the meaning behind your username was intended to be malicious, how would that offend anyone? I don't know if people are genuinely getting more sensitive and less able to brush aside unfair criticism, or if it's just big companies terrified of getting sued...? |
