Stumbling across FDR has been a literal life-saver... I came for the atheism, but the self-knowledge, empathy and sharing has kept me here cherapple's points make a pretty good summery of my childhood experiences too. Complete isolation from your peers and parents certainly gives you plenty of time to think about the crazy world around you...unfortunately it took until the age of 30 to even start undoing the damage

I would have to go with Statists, as a fledgling anarchist I don't have the mental muscle memory to argue nearly as effectively as I can the religious folks. I was born to a atheist family and raised on a hearty diet of nature documentaries as well as studying archaeology and religious history, so it is almost second nature to shoot down religious arguments. (Stefan's counter to agnosticism has been a useful addition to my quiver, they are usually too slimy to pin down) Statists for the most part in my arty muso community are a much tougher opponent, they all tend to be of the 'well meaning hippie' style...wrong, but always with a caring spin on it that makes it tough to argue when surrounded by them...especially when you are still mastering the basics. Luckily there are resources like this to toughen up my thinking so I can at least plant a few seeds of anarchy in their thinking while I hone my knowledge for the final KO

All other factors aside I kinda like the sound of an automated fast food restaurant, the service (at least in rural English KFC's and McDonald's) is absolutely terrible...just pressing 'Burger' and 'no gherkin' on a machine and waiting for the meal to pop through a hatch sounds much more preferable to repeating my order 3 times to someone who doesn't seem to even know what planet they are on, let alone that they are working, waiting for ages, then receiving the wrong items, which you reluctantly eat because you are in a hurry...

Cheers Conner, that was a good read (always helpful when none of your pupils turn up and you have to look busy at work). Impressive consistency too, the daily blog challenge is not for the faint of heart

That's delving into the murky depths of comic book history right there...didn't turn out so well for our old buddy Zeitgeist if I remember correctly

I'm not one to celebrate death...but it is pretty hard to have a lot of sympathy for these sociopathic thugs
