    Hi Astor, I'm doing AQA. What about you?

     

    Thanks so much for your thorough answer Dermoment, it is the kind of thing I'm stuck on. I'll look again in the morning because it's making me freak out now.

     

    I actually find organic chemistry much easier than Hess' cycle chemistry, but that might be because I have a different teacher for it.

    I'm on OCR - dayum, I wondered if we could on be the same one :teehee:

    Anything about Mika

    In a fit of rage at not being invited to the wedding i would send Mika's new husband a few voodoo packages and show up at their house. i would watch them sleep and leave cryptic messages scrawled on their front steps, using my own blood of course.

     

     

    Or i'd sent them a congratulatory tweet then get on with my life :dunno:

    Just as I will allow myself the privelege of having a happy childhood and not bother empathizing with the bullying that he carries on and on about for the millionth time just moments earlier? I just can't get over the self absorption required to complain over and over about your childhood torment while wilfully ignoring that the fact that there is institionalized pedophilia in the Catholic church and thousands upon thousands of children have suffered not just because of the actions of local priests but the criminal way it was handled all the way up the chain to the former pope.

     

    WTFever. :blink:

     

    Who said anything about Mika's fans saving the world? I'm talking about Mika's attitude towards the crimes of humanity perpetrated by his church. The church has been acting with impunity for centuries, doing whatever it wants and answering to no one because its one billion members turn a blind eye. Of course it can be stopped. By not being an active participant. At the very least you can protest in principle instead of acting like it doesn't matter. Would you vote for a Nazi or apartheid government even if your vote to the contrary wouldn't have much impact?

     

    What is the point of protesting French politicians about gay rights and then turning a blind eye to the homophobia endemic in and being taught by the church?

     

    What is the point of trying to draw attention to the cause of anti-bullying when you willfully turn a blind eye to institutionalized pedophilia?

     

    If he's going to make these ridiculous comments about ceremony being more important than human rights and moral principles then he's going to receive criticism. He's the one who has made it a topic of discussion. I didn't know or care what he thought about Catholicism until he started writing songs about it.

    I stopped quoting everything I agreed with because there's too much :aah:

     

    Yes, it seems like he gets (justifiably) fired up about bullying - but then brushes off abhorrent actions of a corrupt institution in favour of their pretty buildings.
