 (Frankly, I can't see it as a possibility that there be no religion) But still, if I may once again add to a discussion that's well gone, you (a general "you", not (necessarily) you directly) said that there'd be a possibility that many bad things wouldn't be as bad as they are, but then also note that many things could very well not be as well as they are now, like human rights for example. They've much been influenced by religions and are now a basic pillar of our society (and now I could introduce my brother to talk about human rights from all possible angles (he's done quite a lot of studying on this subject), but maybe not after all. Though the critical angles are very interesting... Maybe I should ask for a guest lecture ).But then again, all "what if" discussion is pretty much fruitless. |

People on Twitter are turning their avatars green in support of the protesters in Iran. Reminds me of the time Trep turned his avatar black because AG was allegedly anti-gay. Fun times.

'Tis about what I expected. I've ordered a RAM upgrade, because I've been reminded of how poor 1 GB of RAM feels nowadays, but otherwise I have nothing to complain about.

Quite. I suppose I could complain that nobody has yet made a small computer with a 9 hour battery life that runs Team Fortress 2 properly, but this actually gives me a wonderful opportunity to go retro for a while.
