if you choose not to be a believer, that's your business and i'm fine with it. but when you go on these message boards to spew your venom and heckle and harass people who think different than you, plus frantically try to "prove" God doesn't exist, you are showing off not only your immaturity but also your insecurity in your beliefs.

if someone told me that a 9 dollar bill exists, would i get angry, call him names, taunt him, swear, and spend so much time & energy trying to prove him wrong? no i wouldn't. because i know he's wrong.

and if you try that, "they're always trying to convert me" excuse, you can add "hypocrite" to the list of what you are. what do you think you're trying to do on these message boards?? also, if you say "people who believe in such nonsense deserve to be ridiculed" good, go over to saudi arabia and make fun of the muslims and mock their beliefs.

why can't you atheists just live and let live and keep your immature comments to yourself?

What would you do on your first day on the dole?

I'm temping at the minute and I just recieved my paycheque for the month of December. Now, I got paid for the 15 days that I did work (I took one off to go to my grandfathers funeral) so I suppose I probably have nothing to complain about but I really did think that they would pay me for the two bank holidays Christmas and Boxing day. I already have to pay 5 weeks rent out of 3 weeks wages because we get paid at the end of the month and it's just this month that we're getting paid early because we'll be closed next week, (which is why it's 3 weeks wages) so after the 5 weeks rent it leaves me with less than €100 left. Which is all the money I'll have untill the end of January. I'll need to pay bills and buy food out of it.
Am I being selfish or does anyone else think that even temps should get paid for Christmas day when the offices will be closed so we couldn't work if we wanted to???
