That's right, and as by far the least xenophobic poster on here, I like to consider other country's timezones. They are just as important as my own.

Time zones are segregation.

1. How did you learn to swim?

In primary school, I was about 5 or 6. Every Wednesday was swimming day. The class would watch a program after register than get the coach down to the swimming baths. I looked forward to it every week.

As said in the other thread, I took ages to learn and get my 5, 10 and 25 metre badges. I never went into the deep end of the pool.

2. What current problem do humans face that you are surprised we haven't found a solution to yet? Can be big or small.

Baldness. Some of the diseases we have cured or made massive progress treating but guys are still suffering with hair loss. Not that finding a cure for slapheads is as important as curing cancer, but I'm surprised there isn't an easily accessible and affordable solution to what seems like a simple thing to treat.

3. What is your opinion on faith schools? Should they be a thing of the past or should we leave things as they are?

I think we should move away from faith schools. In some places they cause problems, I think the idea in general is a bad one and divisive. Teach about religion in RE and that's it.

4. Are there any current fashion trends that you find annoying?

Nothing really stands out at the moment. It used to be the massive beard and Nazi haircut combo.

5. Do you have any addictions?

Nicotine and probably caffeine too.

6. What music release are you looking forward to the most this year?

Godfather 2 I think. It has been a big year or so for Wiley. A statue, an MBE and his most acclaimed album yet. He is really in his peak now and hopefully the follow up to the first Godfather album is even better.

Rjinn, for example, is in Australia.

So I feel that on this occasion, the post was reasonable.

Thanks.
Bull. Rjinn hasn't posted I think this year at all. You're just trying to justify your attempt to get around the rules. Ban this man!

Oh now you are just reaching. You were caught red-pawed, mate. Just admit it and we'll consider dropping all the charges. Except the one about being Like Monkey: that one sticks. You're goin' down for that, son.

I spoke to Rjinn in the past few weeks on here. This is the truth.

1. How did you learn to swim?

Never did.

2. What current problem do humans face that you are surprised we haven't found a solution to yet? Can be big or small.

Food shortages/hunger/famine. We've more than enough, but those dirty brown people ain't getting ours. As Roger Waters once wrote: "I'm all right Jack, keep your hands off my stack." If the food surplus mountains (what the actual ****?) were distributed to the countries that need them, surely nobody need be hungry again? It's twenty-****ing-eighteen, for Christ's sake, not nineteen eighteen! There's no excuse for this ****. Nobody should have to go without food.

3. What is your opinion on faith schools? Should they be a thing of the past or should we leave things as they are?

Don't care/Not sure what they are. I went to a Christian Brothers School, and look how I turned out ... oh, wait....

4. Are there any current fashion trends that you find annoying?

I find all fashion trends annoying. Fashion is ****ing stupid. Just cos one person does it or a lot do, I have to too? **** that: I'll wear what I like.

5. Do you have any addictions?

Not really. I might be addicted to MB: I've tried to leave three times at least.

6. What music release are you looking forward to the most this year?
Not really sure. I'm not usually aware of when new albums are due. I'd have been excited about the new Drudkh album, but it's out now. I hope Pendragon manage to release the new one they've been promising. Shut up.

Faith schools - religious schools.

1. How did you learn to swim?

Public community pools, as far back as I can remember. I got over the deep end fear by being pushed into it unexpectedly as a kid by my older cousins at their house. Later, we did diving board competitions. I was a fish in the water as a kid, call it the natural aspect of being a Cancer, I guess. I am so totally out of practice though and I'm much older. These days I'll just casually float around with a beer or a mix drink in my hand if I go down to the beach.

2. What current problem do humans face that you are surprised we haven't found a solution to yet? Can be big or small.

I find it sort of comical that we can do highly intricate things like launch a rocket out of the atmosphere and send a shuttle up into space, but we can't get our damn economic and social standards in order. Though, that could just be the pessimistic cynicism in me coming out in sarcasm.

3. What is your opinion on faith schools? Should they be a thing of the past or should we leave things as they are?

I think that the preservation of information is extremely important, and that most books and/or scrolls older than the 1500's are typically kept within the confines of either museums, national libraries, or extremely old colleges like the Cambridge University in England, which has been around since the 1200's. As for individual faith schools, I am pretty much outright against indoctrination because it results in holy wars. If you're going to select to be religious or spiritual, you should do it entirely for yourself and mostly by yourself. There are communities for that sort of a thing that are less indoctrinating and if you spend enough time studying you learn to look for key terms that allows you to maneuver around the small-minded, indoctrinating bastards of modern world trends. There's a way to do it, and a way to do it peacefully, but it cannot be done in a school and I'm absolutely against child indoctrination. Be honest with your children about yourself and your faith, but when they come of age give them the choice to find their own ways.

4. Are there any current fashion trends that you find annoying?

I find them all annoying, I'm ****ing poor. Lol.

5. Do you have any addictions?

Yes. I'm addicted to Knowledge and Freedom, with the only compromise to that Freedom being Knowledge itself. I have no substance addiction, really. Essentially, I'm a hedonist with a budget that allows me to build in weed or alcohol from time to time with whatever I have after my priorities of bills are taken care of. I'm really not an impulsive person, I never have been. I am however, blessed with the ability to be easily entertained if need be. Reading also doubles as a relatively cheap hobby.

6. What music release are you looking forward to the most this year?

I don't really keep up with trends, I very much find the music I like either through word of mouth, seeing the bands live, or stumbling across it on the internet somewhere.
