Christian: Hmmm, I am faced by a moral dilemma totally unrelated to religion. What Would Jesus Do?
Agnostic: Well, Considering you think he's all powerful and everywhere at the same time why don't you ask him rather than sitting there staring at your stupid wristband that cost you £3,000,000 and has the letters W.W.J.D encrusted in diamonds on it so you get blinded the next time you look at it in bright sunlight because you think it might help you more than your all-powerful, ever loving, everywhere at the same time superhuman creature god...thing.
Yes, You guessed it, it's time for Simon to moan at some of the ridiculous Christian ideas that I hear being shouted, screamed and generally burning my ears at how illogical they seem. For Example, I saw a bunch of Christians in the Market Square the other day, all of them old people with some form of flag with most of them playing instruments or singing hymns. Now, I don't know whether I'm right about this or I'm just stereotyping here, but the majority of people I see in the Market Square (In Nottingham) are young people going shopping, this raises the question; What were they trying to do? Convert People to Christianity? Yeah, wishful thinking methinks. How are a bunch of old people singing hymns and waving a flag ,when you can't even hear them singing and can just see that they're a bunch of old people, going to convert anybody when the majority are either already in a religion/ young people who couldn't care less/ atheists or agnostics that know better than to pay any attention to evangelists?
I think that's enough moaning for today, although I will continue this post in "The Christian Approach to EVERYTHING Part 2". While you're waiting for the next post check out http://www.metacritic.com/ ; It's a review site that takes everybody else's reviews for Games, Films, DVD's, TV and Music and gives their own score based on the arguments made by others - quite clever methinks...
Urban 4x4's
Hmmm...
This puzzles me. Why would anyone design a 4 x 4 that doesn't perform well off road? I was under the illusion that the purpose of the 4x4 was to perform better offroad - after all the one major car company I remember when I think of 4 x 4s is Land Rover, until now. It seems, after having a discussion with one of the regular readers of my blog that the idea of a 4 x 4 that can't go off-road is not an absurd one completely and utterly ignored by the public and your average Joe the Designer Dude. Take for example the 4x4 designed to fit in an urban environment. Now, I don't know about you but the biggest obstacle you can possibly face in an urban environment, well, isn't very big. Either that or its not meant to be avoided (that's referring to you, the free-running misfits who thought they do free-running in a car). As I get to the middle point of my post I start to run out of arguments, and so I venture onto Google, begin to search relevant topics and stumble across a series of websites on urban 4x4s. This brings up a few relevant points - While the concept of Urban 4x4s is a pointless one is it any better than clogging our streets with swarms of smaller cars, surely then we should be aiming to cut down on the amount of wasted journeys or high carbon emission cars rather than a specific type of car. Having a large car is not necessarily a bad idea as it means you can pack more stuff in, meaning less journeys and less cars on the road. At the same time however, the concept of a people carrier covers that and so, if you have lots of stuff/people to carry and live in an urban environment, get yourself a people carrier and make these "environmentally mad against urban 4x4" lot shut up...
Please Note: I am complaining about the concept of an urban 4x4 not on the actual cars themselves (for example, the Nissan Qashqai is a good car, but is made for the wrong concept - I think.)
