Scientology got ripped big time today!

[graceysdad]

Was watching the news and seen where the Church of sciencefiction were being ripped upon world wide by the Anonymous mob, you gotta be real careful what you say as they have a way of getting to people, you say something bad and they will send you an email and when you open you start downloading the bible or the LA phone book or something , if your gonna rip on them, do it on the sly,

[d3funct]

I think Anonymous actions are unacceptable.

Yes, the CoS is a cult.
Yes, it is ridiculous.

People are free to believe what they wish, and to have this group try and demolish the CoS reminds me of G.W.Bush's war on terror.

[Slunnie]

Oooh, and D3functs next email is the Encylopedia Brittanica. :lol2:

True, but this cult is quite dangerous:(

True.

However, what does Anonymous want to acheive?

Have you seen the articles? The "protestors" are all uni students who will quite frankly not make an ounce of difference.

They hid their faces too, because they are afraid to be prosecuted - way to stand up for your beliefs, dumbasses - 150 people rocked up to the Sydney base, with signs on a Sunday.

Big whoopdeedoo.

The group has globally only shut down some websites temporarily. Pathetic.


I do think my PoV is slightly biased, as I have a strong dislike of protestors, strikers, or unions in general.

[Blknight.aus]

that sounds like one of my nasty gram emails I used to send before the SQL slammer virus made microsoft fix a couple of holes..

Imagine if you will having your email client trying to download the internet as an attachement.

with data checking so that if you canned it and then went to check your email again it would try to verify the data it already had and redownload it if it was different....

[Rovernaut]

Many years ago I stopped at the Redlight at Exhibition street or was it Russell st?, out side the Scienctology building, Whilst waiting for the lights to change we were asked to come inside by one of their freaks.
Who knows I might have been brainwashed and become ONE OF THEM. Spooky????:o

[dobbo]

If it makes them happy who are we to judge if it is right of wrong?

I like Indian curry with chips, you may not. Does that make me a freak in your eyes?

FREAK! .....no....WEIRD! .....err....uhmmmmm...err.....YES!:D;)

[disco2hse]

Seriously though, in our liberal Western society people are allowed to believe they came from aliens who landed on Earth x number of years ago, or people can believe the Earth is flat or any stupidity they like. What is wrong is if those people try to disenfranchise me from the stupidities I choose to believe, and to have a bunch of malignant students doing just that to these people is therefore wrong.

So what if those people try to influence economic, social, political, or educational processes, that just makes them smart. I think I'd rather have them having some influence than say rabid Marxists (which is actually the case now).

I know more than I ever want to know about Scientology, most of my wife's family are rabid Scientologists. She has had periods in her life when it is easier to consider herself an orphan than keep telling them she isn't interested.

I'm all for live and let live, but Scientology is not a live and let live religion.

Cheers

I noticed in the supermarket last week that that product was spelled three different ways by different manufacturers. :D

[solmanic]

Well there's one thing that s$%ts me more than Scientology - Bad grammar! Even if it is a song lyric.

Why two instances of "in" in that lyric? :mad:

See how the female mind works. I would have said Sir Paul :D <snip>

Amazingly, they seem to have retained the original spelling despite being published in America for the last 100 years.

Quickly, someone break out the weird fonts and symbols included in LaTeX (no I can't get that to look pretty the "\LaTeX" dosen't work in HTML)

And before you start abusing me for being a kinky bastard visit the following:
LaTeX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX)
Latex Math Symbols (http://web.ift.uib.no/Fysisk/Teori/KURS/WRK/TeX/symALL.html)

[disco2hse]

You mean something like this?

[dobbo]

Well there's one thing that s$%ts me more than Scientology - Bad grammar! Even if it is a song lyric.

What was I supposed to do? That is how the song was written, remember it was the seventies, the person who wrote the song was from Liverpool, and did ample amounts of drugs during his lifetime. Of course it could have been written better than it was.

[Ace]

The people who own one of the gyms in town are into all the scientology stuff, i was a member for some time, not now cause i am lazy, but not once did it ever come up, nor was i ever asked to come along or anything. I didnt know until stacey told me.

Its like any other religion, you get some that just practice it and keep to themselves, then you get the mob that feel the need to recruit others for the "greater good" or what ever.

I prefer scientology to some other religions, they dont knock on my door and try and preach crap to me at stupid hours on a sunday morning. :D

They mustn't think your worthy of joining them.:D:D:D:D

lets hope so, and as for your curry and chips, im hearing you mate, its good stuff. But i am afraid that many people think its weird. But i will add that it has to be home made chips, not bought ones.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

See how the female mind works. I would have said Sir Paul :D At least he has remained the same person throughout...but Bond would do at a pinch, esp the Sean Connery Bond anyway :D:D or even that other bloke whose name eludes me at the moment :angel:

Not scientologists are they?


are you trying to say you wouldnt mind Sean Connery pinching you:eek:

[dobbo]

Sean Connery is the thespian version of a Defender. All the boys admire them and all the girls want a ride with them.:D

[FenianEel]

Well that's obvious, why else would he marry a "one legged ex prostitute, gold digger" as Mick Molloy called her (long before they were married too) :twisted:

you can do it too

start -> programs -> accessories -> system tools -> character maps

knock your self out :)

I have a little list of Alt-num key combinations so I can type them at will.

no wonder Mr Connery has it made as he drives a Defender, too. :cool:

[graceysdad]

So if Sean Connery owns a Fender I guess his Martini would definately be shaken and not stirred!

[DiscoDave]

Roger Moore...I thought he was really sexy as James Bond :D

Now that really does demonstrate the difference between the female mind and the male. ;)

[Tango51]

I watched an interview with an author who used to be a high priest of this religion who claimed a huge movie star <male.> who married and divorced an aussie iconic movie star and remarried and achieved mission impossible by having a baby AND another male star also married with kids and likes flying kangaroo's are just two of a plethora of gays in their successful 'conversion' program.
I guess the author would have been sued if it wasn't true....Phenomenon!

[BigJon]

Now that really does demonstrate the difference between the female mind and the male. ;)

Does that mean you found George Lazenby more sexy than Roger Moore as Bond? :p:p

[Jamo]

Poor old George! He was offered more Bond films, but his agent told him to turn them down as he thought the Bond franchise had had it's day and would ruin his career!:eek:
