A lot of things annoyed me today. Please peruse my Tuesday rant.
1. Morons sending Letters to the Dominion Post.
Sorry *insert conservative here* from Thorndon – the reason marijuana is called dope is not because it makes you “dopey” it instead refers to the chemical dopamine, which is released in the brain during the pleasure/reward pathway that is activated while ingesting narcotics. Dope was a generic term used to refer to most narcotics in their earliest stages of public consumption. Argh! You are ignorant and dumb.

2. The Pope and the Catholic Church’s sin millEveryone knows that the doctrine of sin is just a rouse by the church to keep people coming back. Merely a thinly veiled entrapment method to buttress the church as an institution. Some of their sins were ridiculous – Genetic Modification? Sinful? That’s outrageous, GM is probably one of the last hopes for humanity as a species. Transhumanists, I support you. Furthermore – they classed excessive wealth as a sin, well the Church is pretty guilty there itself – we all know it sits upon piles of Nazi gold. So Popey – I’m not very happy with you.

3. Jackson Wood
He emailed me and said that he pooped in my marmite. That wasn’t funny Jackson, you ruined my lifetime love of the stuff.

4. New Zealand’s nuclear free legislation
C’mon people. Stop being so bloody dogmatic about nuclear free stuff. Pebble bed reactors are bloody safe, and are probably the answer to the third world’s energy crisis. And they are cheap! Sure NZ doesn’t need Nuclear power now, but we could at least talk more about it – instead of clinging on to this scary thought that the evil monster from deepest darkest Ukraine could raise its poorly maintained head again. Newsflash – a World Health report found no corroboration between radiation and birth defects in Chernobyl or the surrounding areas. There are also no places left in Britain where radiation levels are too high to farm. Anyone who tells you so is lying.
