I actually saw one of the atheist buses a few days ago. And I mean one. There really weren't many of them used, which is interesting considering the HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS

I also saw George Orwell's house. Kickass. Also went to the antique market and they were selling gasmasks. My mum asked me why I would want one. :/

Anyway, we were watching The 51st State/Formula 51 and there's a few scenes where the protagonists are fighting neo-Nazis. My mum said something about 'fucking skinheads, they're all white supremists (sic)' I replied 'Mum, not all skinheads are racists'. But of course she was like 'NO, that's what they're like darling'. Fuck. I've long stopped bothering to correct her countless mistakes, but it's just stupid now. She's also of the belief that children in Germany aren't taught about the Holocaust and that they believe it was justified, what the fuck?

Anyway, saying that all skinheads are white supremacists is like saying that all metalheads are Satanists. With some differences. Although a long time ago many skinheads were indeed 'white nationalists' (neo-Nazis will never call themselves racists or neo-Nazis. They'll always say 'white nationalists' or 'National Socialists') especially after the war, there were, even then a large proportion of the skin culture opposed to them. 'Skin' has nothing to do with political leanings, it's a whole culture, much like, say, goth. It has a style of dress, which you'd probably know of, and usually skins listen to punk or rock. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I feel sorry for the 'real' skinheads, because the racists give the rest of them a bad name.

There was a poll on MSNBC the other day along the lines of 'Should Wikipedia ban users from edited or creating pages?' What? That's the entire point of a wiki!

more stuff later
