Nice!

and even more cocky is the fact that they posted it on “Die Burger’s” website (more traditional afrikaans you cannot get!)
Good post Faerie. I signed immediately, thanks. Good idea.

The worst is Radio Sonder Grense
Signed 
If you accidently tune into “Radio sonder grense” you could mistaken a birthday special request with a funeral service! All of their broadcasters missed their calling and should have become dominees :
Put the link onto my Religion-Free Africa group - great post Faerie 
The replies to that “burger” thread are illuminating. None of the (Christian) commenters realise the hypocrisy of limiting others freedoms, then crying “freedom of religion” when this campaign has almost as it’s sole purpose to point out that hypocrisy. People don’t even see it when it’s shoved right in their face. They all erroneously assume that this is a outright attack on Christianity. Perhaps some of the atheist commenters also see it that way, either way I think that viewpoint is wrong. I, for one, am not diametrically opposed to the broadcasting of religious content in specific religious channels. However, if I’m to make this concession to freedom of speech, then I do not see why Christians are allowed to campaign to prevent channels that other people may want, as an OPT IN, for extra cash. This is not a fair state of affairs, and I’d sign this petition even if I was religious (I used to be, and even then I believed in absolute freedom of speech).

So true, to go off on a little tangent re the above. We had to mediate a “little” religious war at one of the offices yesterday. Had a religious “tannie” who played her xtian music rather loudly from the moment she set her feet into the office until she left. We’re a huge multicultural company and she was approached by some of the muslim and secular people (it was annoying just about everybody) to please tone it down. She threw a vloermoer of note and simply continued. Yesterday, around 6 different people bought their radios in and played (rather loudly) their preferred music. It was a moshpit of noise, some of it religious, others hard rock, the asian notes were rather clear above the remoer. Underlying all of this noise, was the shouting and screaming of the people about respect/tolerance/religious freedom/freedom of speech and a thousand other “human rights” issues. In the corner of the office sat a group of gobsmacked individuals gaping at the scene from a Terry Pratchett book.
I was rather stunned initially as well, and we had to go around and confiscate the radio’s first because turning them off did no good, as soon as you turned your back, it was turned on again.
We restored peace (well, a semblance of it), eventually, but the department will never be the same again… Discussion as to what to do with this scenario is now continuing at the higher echelons and they’ll probably come up with some “strategy” or another that will have zero impact on the real problem here.
Earphones.

Exactly. In our office it’s the continual talking that annoys the crap out of me–everyone going on about their weekend, their boyfriends and girlfriends, their crappy cars, what a marvellous meal they had at Wimpy, aren’t the hot dogs at Arthur Murray wonderful, that mustard, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
So I went out and bought an expensive pair of Sennheiser headphones, the kind that cancel out any external sounds and I listen to my choice of music and can’t hear the yapping of the little dogs anymore, or the phone, or my idiot PHB. Bliss.
Err
Whats the eTV midnight specials on weekend Tee Vee other than “soft” porn? That is not censurable via a pin code so WTF are the religious woo woos so hung up on?
I luv how they like to claim ad numerum ad nausium when it comes to their numbers yet when you ask them to explain how such a small number of avowed atheists are able to sustain the porn industry, all of a sudden that ad numerum argument flies out the window.
The ideas to make the woo woos pay-per-view for their daily fix in delusion IMO is a good idea. I unsubscribed a year ago from DSTV and do not miss it except for the super 14 and news channels to a lesser extent.
When I was a woo woo I even got conned into sending a grand to TBN, not to mention over 300 grand to the church I attended over a 3 year period. The woo woos are not able to see that they are under a mass delusion/hypnotism, I know I was there.
The only thing porn may do for one is leave you with a woody or (not sure if it turns females on) a wet pussy? Both can be taken care of quite amicably as teh lard gave us hands to reach there and play with our “toys”. ;D
Which reminds me of the Buchanan dude’s mighty men conference, men hanging with other men abandoning their families for a weekend, does that not sound a little gay? Of course jeebus hung out with 12 other dudes and hookers so who knows, maybe he was bi? Ol’ Buchanan is just following his lards example I guess.
It is odd that teh lard is so hung up with what we do with our toys between our legs and moreso who we may choose to share our toys with. teh lard sure does not seem to give a fuck about starving kids to the north of us and dumbass dictators like mugabe, but he sure has a magnifying glass on your pussy or your dick and the thoughts one may have fantasizing when playing with/sharing said toys.
;D Good read!
Can’t comment due to ignorance. Please provide exact program times so I can fully investigate.

Sir, I wish to protest in the strongest possible terms. Having read your warning about the prurient nature of eTV programming, I at once switched over. I am disappointed - nay, dismayed - to note that I in fact had to look quite hard before I could find any “tits and ass”, and the tits and ass that I did find were covered with (opaque) undergarments. I demand that you retract your position at once. I further demand some hyperlinks meeting the promising description previously offered.
Yours, General Sir Henry Arthur Mildred James Smitherington-Smitherington-Smythe (Mrs) (Retired).
To be honest (he lied) ;D I have not checked out eTV in awhile on weekends. It all happens post 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, in between the (mostly titties) there are those SMS PORN to … type ads which also have titties in abundance. It could also be one of the other SABC channels so I am open to correction.
I have weird sleep patterns at my age, get to sleep early then wake up midnight and either watch a bit of Tee Vee or surf the tubes. The eTV “porn” has lame story lines and you sometimes have to wait awhile before seeing the “action”, you do not see dick or fanny but they are still screwing or are pretending to screw (in the nude btw)
I know my wife was really pissed off with this for the sake of the kids but they are all grown up now. (like they need Tee Vee for porn?) Our video shops carry the hard shit here but is not on display.
"porn" has lame story linesIn the '80s (the good old days ;)) we got a censored blue movie out one night.
Wow - a censored blue movie, I can only imagine, start credits followed by end credits, you wuz robbed dude(tte) or did it have lil’ black rectangles everywhere?
Hey I am not into porn anymore, I was at a time hooked on the shite. Thems 10th generation copies were really crap. The DVD’s today and the Internet shite is far more how shall we say clearer?
Ironically, the Song of Solomon is pretty graphic porn. One lady theist said Solomon was a douche as if he really had 3000 wives and concubines, he could not service them all (do the math) and she stated that in a case where many women are confined to close quarters, their cycles tend to synchronise, not sure how much truth is in that but imagine PMS x 3000? No wonder the dude committed suicide. Back then they had no Viagra. But likely it is all just BS as most of the rest of the buybull is. ;D
I was invited to a church wedding about two years ago. To illustrate the passionate bond between husband and wife, the dominee choose this very book as the theme of his talk.
As he read through the passages, with the church packed with prim and proper looking guests, all I remember is crouching lower in my pew, thinking " he’s going to say breasts … he’s going to say breasts … OMG! he just said breasts!!"

LOL ;D brilliant - thanks for the LOL Mintaka
