Just A Couple Of Things

[poliphilo]

1. The first time I came across the phrase "sky fairy" I thought it amusing, the one thousand and sixty third time I thought, "This person has stopped thinking for themselves."

2. We should be thanking the striking rail unions for pointing up the absurdity and wastefulness of a system that requires millions of people to spend millions of hours travelling to and from work every day.

I had to look up sky fairy on teh internets. Same kind of sneering superiority we get from certain pundits when they talk about the people in flyover country who do the dance of the sloping foreheads.

Yes, exactly.

Ailz hadn't come across it either- so I suppose it's not as widely used as I thought it was.

I spend a lot of time on threads where religion is discussed.
