My brand new blog.

So, I've given in and started writing a blog.

This is partly because I've been stripped of my column inches since graduating university and partly to give me something to do until I find my dream job. I'd like to collect together all my old little bits of writing before I start "officially" (my laptop blew up and I've been googling my name ever since).

So take this as a work in progress. Not that I'm expecting any visitors just yet, but in case someone accidentally stumbles across this and wonders what it's about. Having a read of my past rants may give you an idea of what sort of thing to expect, but I rarely restrict myself to writing about one thing. I like to offer a (sometimes) refreshing opinion on most topics, if only to start a debate.

I'm about learning and debating in a rational, and hopefully unbiased way. I guess Chris Rock puts it best:

The whole country's got a fucked up mentality. We all got a gang mentality. Republicans are fucking idiots. Democrats are fucking idiots. Conservatives are idiots and liberals are idiots.

Anyone who makes up their mind before they hear the issue is a fucking fool. Everybody is so busy wanting to be down with a gang! I'm a conservative! I'm a liberal! I'm a conservative! It's bullshit!

Be a fucking person. Listen. Let it swirl around your head. Then form your opinion.

No normal decent person is one thing. OK!?! I got some shit I'm conservative about, I got some shit I'm liberal about.

Crime - I'm conservative. Prostitution - I'm liberal.


That's why I'm slightly left of nowhere.

Of course no hostility. That is not my nature.

Good luck with your blog.

But why all the bad language? That just diminishes you as a person and your arguments.

Ahh, was just a quote. :)

Nush,

Yes I see that now. Sorry.

If I was you I would delete the Sid Williamson comment as he drops comments everywhere to get people to his semi porn blog.

He contributes nothing to debate.

Thanks for that green arrow. :)
