Have you forgotten Skynet already.

Excellent. It adds to our laughter.

Upset? Nah, I just find all the hand-wringing from both sides quite amusing. I haven't had the nerve to sign onto A+ yet, imagine the choked, impotent outrage. They've probably got entire threads with trigger warnings. People have likely expired from righteous apoplexy.

Oh yeah. The apelusters do thrive on getting upset about stuff like that. But then every social grouping has its small segment of oversensitive idiots. I don't think Dodo and you are representative of men either.

It is a authoritarian vs liberty issue. Authoritarians want to control you and your behaviour whatever political flag they wrap themselves up in. If you don't have a problem with that well it does make you a sheep but fine, knock yourselves out. Nobody is going to tell me what I can say and do and how I behave (as long as I don't break the law.) I have no time for appeasers as they are just cowards.

I don't see how this issue is one of "authoritarianism". No one is saying he can't say anything. It is an issue of freedom. People should be free to criticise him, and his employer, arguably in the libertarian tradition, should be free to sack him. So, what in the fuck are you banging on about? Are you for the concepts of freedom or against? You seem to be holding both positions at the same time.

That video doesn't feature Brian Cox.

Oh, and he was sacked. He didn't quit.

I think it's unfitting that Cox was in such a shite band. Certainly not becoming of a physicist.

Fuck, now I'm going to have to google to see if you guys are taking the piss or not...

We ain't.

Well it took me a while to work out that the Brian Cox I kept reading about in the popular science stories wasn't the famous actor by the same name...

Representative of men?? Jesus I bloody hope not. You should see the knuckle-dragging simians that pass for male in the Deep South. OK, I do go fishing and like guns, but I'm also in touch with my feminine side. I can even knit, after a fashion, and I make the best orange marmalade.
