Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
"um" seems like a strange filler. "Uh" and "er" seem more natural... Then again, language is weird.
I've heard/read somewhere that these filler noises make listeners pay more attention to the following words (presumably unless one overdoes it.
“Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.�
"Uh" and "Errr" and "Aaaargh" till the end of my life

As an atheist myself, I feel compelled to say that I unequivocally condemn these murders, and I also condemn the rampant anti-Muslim bigotry that seems to be quite a common undercurrent among atheists.

This is sad and enraging on so many levels. Both Deah Shaddy Barakat and his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha were involved in charities and fundraisers within the US and in Syria (Barakat was studying dentistry and has set up a fundraiser to provide Syrian refugees with dental care).
I'm so sick of these entitled little tumours that think going around killing innocent people in their homes because of their religion is somehow brave and not just horrifying and wrong.

I suspect that the atheist slant in the article is a red herring. Doesn't sound like there was a religious angle, rather he was worked up about a parking space. Wait for the right in the US to use this as a lever to get prayer back in public schools ("Atheists are violent terrorists!"), Fox to do a 5-night special on "Why Atheism Kills", Al Sharpton to find a black angle, and bugger all to be done about the propensity of some people (regardless of religious adherence) to shoot first and ask questions later.
Le sigh.

Indeed. If we had firearms law here like in the US, there were Muslim, Christian (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, etc), other religion and Atheist deaths over parking almost weekly in my neighbourhood ... ...
There's no atheist book that commands people to kill religious people (apart perhaps from some communist/Stalinist/Maoist programs which I am not familiar with). Therefore if the guy thought he has to shoot these people, then it's because he's a violent lunatic, not because he's an atheist.
Hmm. Funny how that works isn't it. If a Muslim kills people, the whole religion is tarred with the terrorism-brush, people start shouting left and right for Muslims to condemn it. Yet once Muslims are the victims, oh, no, nothing to do with Islamophobia at all, everyone's falling over each other to think of any other reason at all.

That much is true. We had the NSU Nazi murder gang here in Germany, also responsible for a nail bomb attack on a Turkish hairdresser's in Cologne
and for years the police investigated only in the direction of crime within the Muslim community, even putting some of the victims under suspicion.
I saw this - oddly, the first thing that popped into my head was an idea for a TV spot for the KKK that ripped off an old Club Biscuit ad. If you'd hate a lot of [racial epithet]s in your district, join our Klub. Probably not what Krispy Kreme was going for, methinks.

Well yes, but...well, if it's wrong to have a brief but terrifying mental image of the nature of 's undercarriage then maybe I don't want to be right!
I'm going to pretend that you are referring to his chin while he is sporting a beard. Yes, yes, that's exactly what you meant, I'm sure of it.
...Actually, I think you broke my brain a little. First "undercarriage", which is a delightful euphemism, and secondly, who has a *ball* of fluff down there? How does that even work?

Isn't it, though?

My point exactly! Perhaps 's clockweights (another one for your Big Book of Euphemisms) are liberally endowed with the kinds of downy fuzz more frequently associated with juvenile birds (in this instance, "birds" is intended in the literal sense. Not, you know... I'll shut up now)
Can anyone shed more light on this? Are the contents of The Undercrackers Of Darkness known to anyone (and are they prepared to share both the knowledge and the revelation)?
