Well...the majority of the Egyptian Empire was in B.C.

You do know what B.C. stands for right?

Burgers and cake

Actually Erebus, it should be B.C.E so the dating system isn't based around Christianity as much.

when was ash wednesday? why not abstain from stuff that makes it a real sacrafice, like football or the NSFW forum threads?

We had our big Ash Wednesday mass at school today and the leaders of our respective houses made the sign of the cross on our forheads with ash but one of my best mates is a leader and decided to put a dick on my head

PC can GTFO imo.

when i went to my old catholic school theyd just rub abit on your forehead, more or less they all looked like dicks... thank robbie fowler i got out of that place

i went to a catholic school in zimbabwe for a couple of years. i remember we had to attend chapel every tuesday. it was just a basic mass for about an hour. i used to sit at the back with the other muslim and hindu boys. about 6 of us. we used to sit right at the back and just talk amongst ourselves or read our own book. never used to interfere or cause any problems. the teacher who sat behind us kept bugging us to take part in mass, but we told her we from a different religion and dont do it.

however, this one muslim dude used to sit in the front and sing and stuff. he never took part in communion part he did the other things. teacher used to say "why does he do it then". got into soo much shit for that, eventually we had to speak to the guy and tell him not to do anything.

Yer, we had the old rub ash into our foreheads. We wern't allowed to wash it off either, and if the principal thought you had he's give you detention. Sucked last year, it was like 30 degrees and all the sweat washed it away.

It was today :lol: You're meant to abstain from something that you take for granted in your daily life.

As I was walking through sydney today there were kids with fucking charcoal smiley faces on their head.

=d> =d>

cause the principal thought it was actually jebus :roll:
you in your last year Heineken? i remember my last two years having to do Studies of Religion... cause in the earlier years you had to do catholic studies and it was jebus this, god said to chop abit of the jews wangs of etc etc... SOR was the fucking best because i got stuck in the advanced class (i think it was cause i challenged everything and it gave the rest of the class a different perspective because they were a bunch of bible bangers) i remember this one guy said your gunna go to hell... and i was like, yeah if you believe in the fire and brimstone and that god communicates by setting fire to bushes, i don't like to get pinned down to just the one god.... i like Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish too ya know \:d/

Nah finished year 12 last year. I took SOR too. It was actually kinda interesting, but our teacher was a few cents short of a doller, so it kinda made the class suck :lol:

well it came at it from a neutral sort of perspective... i went to school in auburn which is a pretty multicultural place, so you had hindu's and muslim's who came to the school aswell even though it was a catholic one... they couldnt try and force feed jesus down your throat in the final years... was really interesting if you do get the right teacher... did christianity and islam was quite good, but shit the spelling and pronouncement of half the stuff from islam was bloody hard

The irony, it's sandwich worthy.

:lol: can't help but laugh.

I went to school in North Sydney. Just rich white kids, and Asians whose parents don't feed them unless they get 99.98 in their HSC. But most of my year was like me - either atheist or agnostic - and we just never paid attention in any religion class. It was a time to catch up on Maths/English/Biology homework, 45 minutes sleep, or discuss the hot chick from Wenona/Monte we saw during our lunch break :lol:

Well in Blacktown we got the whole deal... SOR was mandatory though the second unit was optional. Its always interesting to know when pretending to care about someones live, but otherwise it was a big meh

giggity hot chick ;)
see the thing was, it was a co-ed school, but complete lack of talent, it was like going and watching Adelaide with Lloyd Owusu leading the charge, like sure you had some decent ones but nothing brilliant besides the one or two exceptions which was like finding Kevin Keegan at Scunthorpe.... and afro english was never my strong point, was too busy playing FM07 on my laptop (had to have one for my art major cause i was doing photoshop and 75% of it had to be done at school so i wasn't one of the posh one's)... and Heineken you used SOR as a catch up class, wasn't the 10mins in admin in the morning enough to scramble or copy somebody else's english or history homework? :p

???

the spelling is hard because its arabic, as is the pronunciation...i wouldnt expect anyone to nail first up, even some of the muslims cant get it right...ah well its all about learning and enhancing our knowledge.

As Kitty Flanagan once said. "The Daily Telegraph is just like the Bible. It's full of made up stuff" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thats better. :P

OMG CHARLIE CONWAY DID IT!!!

DUCKS WIN!

WE WILL, WE WILL QUACK YOU!

Kitty Flannigan always seems like she's under the influence of something. Which is hilarious.

Pretty sure there are some Dexter watchers on this forum. What are your thought on that incredible season final last night?

:lol: I watched the finale about 3 months ago :P

Got a friend in the TV business who gave the disks to me as soon as it finished in USA :P

It was incredible. I was speechless. An amazing season. Much better than season3.

I am an avid Dexter watcher. My favourite show.

this best show out,
i thought something was weird when [spoiler]dexter killed trinity so easy and he didnt fight back.[/spoiler]
wonder what season 4 will be like.

Hey. Mitch. There are some of us who watch Dexter, or want to, but haven't got round to it yet. Spoilers are there for a reason. I've edited your post.

sorry champ, how was i meant to know though ?

Personally I would consider it a common courtesy that if you're discussing a TV Show/Movie/Game etc, that you hide important parts, just in case. Fair enough if you didn't think of it, just keep it in mind for next time :)
