Rants !!!
When I go off on one, I usually do it with some style and a point to make. I am not talking here about the sort of rant where by you hurl blind insults at another member of your family for borrowing your shirt without asking - again - whilst stomping a mud hole in their behind. No. This kind of 'rant' is really a selection of 'shorts'. Not full essays, not complex articles detailing a subject matter in full. Just strongly held views expressed by myself.
Other sites by people known to me (though they do not necessarily hold the same views as me) who have 'Rants' sections include Doug's site, Soul Device.
| See video & images from Keynsham's Bingo Hall | Keynsham-ites: look here! We're recording the demolition of the Bingo Hall by accepting still and moving images as well as presenting a rare, one off 'Blair Witch' style video taken from INSIDE the derelict structure during the late night! | Added 23/4/05 (Still being updated!) |

| Comments by people on the BBC site on asylum | It made me actually gasp with disgust to think that in England, the sight of a St George flag should be banned ANYWHERE ... | BBC, Added 22/4/05 |
| Part of a debate | With a theist, who insisted that all paths would lead to God and His forgiveness. | Myself, taken from the Premier Online forum |
| Are we our own Masters? | A short piece asking are we our own masters, and answering various reasons to not bother committing one's life to Jesus... | Myself |
| Pascal's Wager - STILL a rock solid argument for theism and more! | If you've thought enough years of your life already, it's time to put the shoe on and start walking in it. Don't give it five seconds, try it properly. If it's real - you'll know. There's little danger of you getting the wrong God, if you meet Him, I think you'll know about it. | Myself |
| What’s in a word? Micro Vs Macro | It would be wiser to avoid the use of the term ‘microevolution’. To most people, it sounds as if you are conceding that there is a ‘little bit of evolution’ going on. | AiG website, 9/12/02 |
| Is pluralism workable? is truth whatever you strongly believe it to be? | Sounds nice, doesn't it. If you believe something strongly enough, than is it true? A Gorean web board cites this quote. I challenge it. | Myself, added 28/4/04 |
| Are women the catalyst driving the glory of man? | I respond to a Gorean Man's email, as an outsider to Gor, and as a Free Women and a dominant person. If you don't know what Gor is, read up first! | Myself, added 7/9/03 |
| Christians and BDSM | The world of BDSM, bondage etc. Simply put, is it really as simple as 'run away!', or is there more to it? [ Adult-themed essay; no pictures ] [Mature content caution] | Myself |
Important: Channel 4 broadcast a documentary which they watched some EPW action during production of, and then called our President, Corporate Ken. They asked him, 'do you have anything more violent, we're looking for back yard fighting'. Find out what really happened, here.

| Where was I on September 11th 2001? |
My first entry here. Not really a rant, more of a very short article | Myself |
| Each genre of game, for each age
of consoles - compared! Who will win? |
Comparing consoles and games makers through the ages, awarding the crown for handling each genre or type of game the very best! Game ON! | Myself and at least two friends, fellow gamers. |
| Why game-ready PC owners don't need an Xbox |
'Millions more people will be
playing the PC version of Halo than the Xbox one simply because more
serious, mature gamers as you call them have PCs than Xboxes, and that is
simple statistics.'

Myself and a friend/debate opponent |
| Same as
the above rant, only written purely by me, with new evidence |
This confirms what I feared before I even
started. There is *still* not a single reason for a game-ready, ninja PC owner whose into games to purchase or own an Xbox. We simply don't need one. |

| The day the Cube reached home! | This was NOT written with finesse or article language in mind. I wrote this on notepad whilst taking a break from Game Cubing the morning after getting my hands on one, 03/05/02. Enjoy my story! | Myself (writing about a real event with my brother and a friend also present) |
| More
debating about pads for the Xbox and PC |
What we are disputing and have yet to see any evidence again
whatsoever is why a game-ready PC owning lad whose sitting there fragging
himself to paradise and back, needs to fork out £300-400 quid for an Xbox starter
kit.
