Re: IHRC launches discussion paper
Playing devils advocate here - but if we had secular schools here in Ireland (I wish), then only kids of secular parents would feel completely at home in them – if we (AI) are for a pluralistic society, how can we accommodate religious people in a secular setting?

Re: Christopher Hitchens to debate Tony Blair on Religion
Considering Tony Blair wants to "unite" Christians and Muslims to combat what he calls "extremist secularism" this debate should be fun. Blair has really shown his true colours since he left political office. His role as peace envoy while being responsible for a war and leader of a crazy internation...

Kevin Myers- Professional Troll
Stole this from Reddit. I won't even waste time reading his tripe. All he wants is attention. Ignore him.

Re: What's your favourite piece of software?
Visual Studio 2010. You can have your hippie Linux stuff 8) :lol: Visual Studio is the only thing which makes development on Windows some way bearable. Got me a free copy with the MS Dreamspark student initiative. Love the new interface but they've moved things which is quite frustrating at times.
