Re: UKNM: Archbishop of Canterbury talking out of his arse dot com

[Mike Butcher]

Quentin I have never met you and I apologise if this is offensive, but this

is one of the most the most simplistic, and fucked-up opinions I have ever

read. The kind of thing that gets touted in university halls late at night

- but at least drunk students have an excuse. I didn't take much interest

in the cleric's address, but it seemed he was questioning the age-old

obsession with money (read 'fast-buck IPOs'), and, er, that's it.


Discussions about the cultural effects of the internet industry seem

perfectly valid for this list, and it's accepted that the bullshit quotient

can hit a crescendo now and again, but can we get back to some more

relevant topics, at least to the list?


I'm with  Tim Heyward when he posted:
