THe Sziget festival?

Why yes indeed the Sziget festival.

Ah Vagtazo Halottkemek?

I never saw them. Which year was this? I was there last year and two years before that.

I hadn't heard of them until you sent me that album, so unfortunately had I been there at the same time I wouldn't have realised that I should have gone to see them :oops:

Living in the Bible Belt, in Tennessee(No, I do not have a Southern accent), there have always been people like that everywhere. On streets, at public functions, etc. I feel very out of place.
Yes, I agree, it gets extremely aggravating. I try my best to politely shrug them off of me, but when they are persistent, I tend to lose patience very quickly.
Perhaps because I have always been around evangelist Christians, that is the reason I have grown to have such a disdain for them. I cannot stand them.

Yet, I agree with Nessie in that not all Christians are like that. Not all are anti-intellectual. Yet, many are, and they are eating away the already-imbrued fabric of Western civilization.

lol, i spent 12 and i'm not complaining.

the priests never forced anything on me (i was hindu when i was younger), and there were many atheist students that never had any trouble at the school.

what, did they sodomize you or something? you guys have to understand that these "hardcore christians" (or muslims or hindus or even atheists) are a minority.

EDIT - in fact, i'd go as far as saying that i'd probably put my kids in that same school.

and i also applied to Lisbon's Catholic University (controlled by Opus Dei, i think), and the only reason i'm not there now is because i wasn't accepted.

...and make the world a better place.

So there I was, nestling into my chair in the lecture theatre, sorting out my pages and pens, and this young guy sits next to me. Instantly I had that weird vibe you get when you know someone wants something from you, like a salesman. I tried to ignore him at first but he obviously wanted my attention by leaning too close. I have an unfortunate habit of attracting gay people (damn gypsy curse) but my spider sense was telling me this wasn't one.

So eventually he says, "Hi, I'm Mark" or whatever the fuck his name was. "Oh, hi, I'm S...." I reply politely. "So what made you want to become a teacher?" he asks. I go on about some crap and eventually I have to say "so that is my story, and you?"

At this point he talks about what studies he's been doing and very slyly includes the words "and I found Christianity in college", and continues with his story (which had something to do with wanting to make rockets or some shit). Immediately my alarm bells went off, but I had to ask. "So what has finding Christianity got to do with teaching?" I know, pretty obvious when you see it written down. But then he does something I didn't expect. He changed the subject to the tough time he had on his practice teaching excursion.

So I thought nothing further of it. That was until the halfway break during the lecture when he leans seductively across and says "So...do you know Jesus?"

"Don't even fucking talk to me about religion," I retort very rudely, "do I honestly look like an idiot that you can sell that shit to?"

Seriously. I hate these fucking squirmy little turds.

um, a bunch of stuff from that book is fake, even dan brown said so. dunno exactly what bits, though.

the catholic uni. here is really good, that's why i applied.
