Working on a consensus... an example
by Phantom Stranger inover the last two days, i participated in two threads about the terror attack in spain.
while my motive in participating was to introduce a moderating influence (and i did start out by agreeing with yeru!
), in the end i became a part of the problem - reacting to name-calling, vicious verbal attacks, and general statements that may or may not have been aimed at me.

You Britons need to lay off the sauce, says Reuters
by Phantom Stranger inlondon (reuters) - britain launched a campaign on monday against excessive alcohol in a bid to tackle its binge-drinking culture, which some say has turned many town centers into virtual no-go areas at night.
ministers say alcohol misuse costs around 20 billion pounds a year in associated crime, health and social problems and employee absenteeism.
last year, a government report found that britons were the worst binge drinkers in europe, with excessive drinking accounting for 40 percent of all drinking occasions by men and 22 percent by women.

A definition of "fundamentalism" - and a great passage
by Phantom Stranger ini was reading the thread about the secular humanist's comment about jws, and the discussion about fundamentalism that follwed, and i was reminded of a book i read not too long ago.
i dug it up and re-read the passage dealing with fundamentalism, and decided it was worth sharing - mostly because then some of you might go buy the book, and i think this book is the most inspiring i have ever read.
i also thought that some of the comments described jws very well.. .
