PickleBoy So, I was driving down the street today and lo, I pass a church with a neon sign that scrolls through various little sayings and blah, right? Right. Guess what I saw? God doesn't believe in
Atheists No joke. ******** cracked me up. I wish I would've had my phone so I could've taken a picture, but I passed it so fast anyways, I probably would've had to sit for like half an hour till it scrolled back on the screen. Aw...thats hilarious. I wish you had been able to catch that on camera.
Church signs often say the strangest things.

Meh. We had a sub in English class today (and a pretty small assignment), so a bunch of the guys decided to pick at my strings over the whole religion issue. (The assignment involved the bible.)
The girls whom surround me found it fitting to ask questions that were both obvious and had already been answered, and the sub now *hates* me.
She took one look at my paper, and promptly replied that every single answer was incorrect, despite the fact that the guy I know one seat over had almost exactly the same thing written down... x.x
She also asked how I spell "atheist", so as best I can figure, she's written me up for the principal/school owner, so I think it'd be best to come out to him over this with a proper answer before I get "asked to leave."
We've got about three expulsions in the last few years, and yet several dozen people have been forced out. Hmm.

I might get my laptop back fixed in about a week.
@addseale- o.x
Did you actually do anything that could get you written up or exagerrated into something worthy of getting written up? I mean, that sounds obvious, but you didn't actually say what happened or how you responded. So I's curious :0
The paper thing I really don't get. It would seem so obvious a purposeful thing on her part if anyone else compared the class grades/responses so I don't see why she'd bother. o.x (Assuming the papers have the grades written down and are kept to possibly be compared.)

this might sound stupid (though I have grown up in a metric country in all my life) but WTF is Oz?, I saw it on a soft drink bottle and I was like "What??" is it like a pound? I know a Liter is 1 kg of water, so is Oz 1 pound of water?.

Oz= Ounce. Or sometimes you see it as fl oz for fluid ounce. I dunno exactly what it's equal to though. It's much less than a pound.

Sanguvixen Kiron lol, I was listning to texas radio and a ad came on "Those Athiest Commies, are planning to attack our western Christian world". Goddamn, America is soooo funny, I am going there next year, man I can't wait xd . So exactly what do you plan to do? Find the nearest theist and rile them up? nope, I expect something to happen while going through the south, but even more I wanna see if you have TV ads with the same sort of Jesus hates athiests crap. (note if I went up to a christian in texas and started spouting how wrong the bible is, I think I Would be shot, but I do plan on dressing up as a mormon going door to door and asking people "have you heard of the origin of species?, we are from Atheism" in salt lake city) Australia is different than the US as I also have noticed when in the US before (NYC) that all your ads are "Do you suffer from (Insert condition here. Could be anything from dermatitis to bowel cancer)? Then, you need (drug name). It... (list 3 or 4 wonderful things this drug will do) (Show old people saying 'This drug has changed my life. Show pictures of children and small dogs. Play happy music.) (Recap, telling us again about the wonderful drug, then give us a detailed, yet entirely rediculous scientific explaination, using words like 'breakthrough' and 'revolutionary') (Speaking really fast, right at the end) "Warning, see your doctor about posible side effects. These may include (At least 10 side-effects. Anything from 'risk of bleeding, diahreea, dizzyness, breathing difficulty, rashes' to 'lung failure, heart attacks, brain tumours.) (Drug name) is not for everybody. Do not take if you (List of people. Usually includes pregnant, elderly, high blood pressure, allergic to certain things, etcetera)" In Australia its against the law I think to advertise medicine and in Australia we don't scare people to buy products (if you have not bought this cereal the terrorists have already won... lol) , we use stupid jingle's from the 50's (which is more effective IMO, what do you remember a tetris theme or the first line of text in ocarina of time), as proof get any Australian to recite the vegimite ad, every single one can do it, also another one is aeroplane jelly ad, even better I think everyone world wide knows the herbal essence ad "I have urge, *orgasim sound* I HAVE TEH URGE FOR HERBAL, ANOTHER HERBAL SHOWER FOR ANOTHER HALF A HOUR" *more orgasim sounds* (note in these ad's they actually say "HER-B" not "'erb" like most Americans I talk to say and I laugh at because 'erb sounds like what a slack jaw from the styx would say). Another reason I am going to Canada and the US next year is to taste American food again, according to Expats and even Americans that have travelled here, eaten and traveled back to the US, is American food is the most horrible substance on earth (tastes like plastic)... I have eaten straight vegimite ... so I can't think they are that bad atleast I didn't notice it last time, Coke in the US tastes weird but that's because it uses basturd sugar (corn syrup) instead of real sugar (Cane), also I wanna meet up with some old friends, and some new ones.

Wow... Its great to know your coming here just because you hate us so much. Thats, uh... thats great. And it is pronounced "erb". Not H-erb. The H is silent. Saying H-erb, makes me think you're from the sticks and/or your talking about Uncle H-erb who died in the Civil War. Like its wash, not warsh. Its ih-talian, not Aye-talian. There is no potato/patato about it. Cut and dry. My way or the highway.

On the topic of American food, yeah, I'm inclined to agree. The only real "American unique" food is the soul food of the south-east *coughpushingmyowncookingcough*, and that can never really be expressed in the crap that some stores push out in styrofoam and cheese paper.
Hell, if you ever stop in Alabama, look me up. I'll show you what real food is. xD
Cornbread, fried chicken, butter beans, an' 'taters... Hell, ask nice and I might even try for a biscuit or two. xD
Mmm... I swear, one of these days I'm going to make a thread to teach this entire guild about the perfect pan of cornbread.

There is no potato/patato about it. Cut and dry. My way or the highway. I don't hate the US, I really like the choice when shopping you guys have, its like ... 20 times larger than what we have here (poor shelf packers at the super market sad ), and the sites are better here, well except on New years day, then its like 100% pwnage in sydney. The Correct way of saying herb is actually erbe' not erb or herb (notice Americans say it using the wrong vowles as well, so its not even close to the way the french say it), but most in commonwealth countries say h-erb, but I also notice American's drop the h in human so it sounds like ooh-man. I guess there is no right or wrong way, there is Commonwealth way of speaking and spelling "Mum, Honour, Glamour, Colour, Autumn (Fall predates Autumn, but the US had all but isolated themselves by then from the commonwealth nations)" and US way of doing it "Mom (actually not english but gaelic), Honor, Glamor, Color, Fall", Where Commonwealth English falls to the original german, American accents and spelling tends to lean towards the Irish, here in Australia we speak as we are of Irish Decent, but write like we are of British decent. Another fun fact is in America, Australians are often mistaken as from Boston or new jersey... Boston and New Jersey people don't sound like Australians do they?. http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Australian-English_Dictionary I love this, there are 2 class of Australian if you ever come here, The Posh "multi-cultrual" type, and the bogan cronulla riots type, its about 50/50 here, but its strange how that dictionary actually demonstrates how they speak ..... like perfect. (the bogan white trash type I mean) I love the Australian english part Australian: Chuck another shrimp on the barbie English: I am an American putting on a comedy accent, and am utterly ignorant of the fact that no Australian ever utters this phrase. Please mock me. lol, so true.

.... I don't think I want to know what kind of americans you know. Oo-man? Wow... Fortunately, not all of us are stupid. Unlike many people like to think. Yes, we do have a large percentage of christians. And a lot of those christians are closed minded diptwads. But not all of us are.
Sorry... I'm PMSing and had to talk to my parents so... I'm a little sensitive right now. And you say it my way. Or don't say it at all. Damn you. I will have the American ego, damn it! I will have and use it proudly (while contained safely inside my house of ignorance).
