Four potentially dangerous subjects for debate...

Posted September 4, 2001 4:24 PM.

Four potentially dangerous subjects for debate:

PARTY POLITICS:
_____________________

Which political party do you support and why? Do you think William Hague was an admirable man? Is Tony Blair a toadying, insincere sychophant? Labour are all spin aren't they? Europe is the future or Europe is the enemy? People from ethnic minorities aren't really British at all, right? Neil and Christine Hamilton - what's that about?

A-LIST vs THE REST:
_____________________

Who ARE the A-list bloggers? Are there A-list English Bloggers? Should everyone else kneel down and kiss my arse? Who do you losers think you are anyway? Coming around here and fouling up my goddam internet with your whining... Is it like WWF? Do we get names? 'THE PLASTIC POUNDER', 'THE IRRITABLE INTERCONNNECTED ONE', 'DIGITALSTOMPERY'.

ABORTION:
_____________________

Are foetuses little kiddies when they're two cells old? Or should the parent's right of abortion be extended until the child reaches the age of seventy-eight?

GREYMATTER vs BLOGGER vs BENBROWN vs MOTHRA:
_____________________

Is Blogger a shiny piece of heaven fallen to earth? Or is it crap arseness? Are we not REAL MEN unless we are building our OWN content management systems? Is off-the-shelf too lowbrow for us? Does Ben Brown suckle on Mammon's ungodly teat? How about Ev? How about YOU?!
