... who decides what is a pure source and which are impure?

That's easy.  Torquemada and his Thought Police.

"Be pure, Be vigilant, Behave!"

Sleep is no refuge for impure thoughts!

Sweet feckin Jesus, would ye ever just turn off your computers and go outside?

I really miss Monkey Dust the world could really do with the program right now!
Sadly due to Harry Thompsons death due to lung cancer (he wasn't even a smoker apparently, utterly tragic) it seems the most under rated animated comedy will remain in it's cult statues.

Also I suspect theres zero chance of seasons 2 and 3 getting a dvd release after 15 years.

Yeah, I'd read that he'd passed away-tragic!  :(
Crying shame too, that those two seasons are unlikely to be released! :'(
Caustic satire of the highest calibre!  :thumbsup:

Funny that idea about a 2000AD debating society should come up here, as the radio show discussed just started a new series this week:
Heresy

And the beeb also has an article about a sub-reddit on similar lines: blog

Yeah, I worked on S3 - I never met Harry, but he was well regarded.

The follow-up was going to be a spin-off based on the Brummie Jihadis, but even without Harry's untimely death, the 2005 attacks would have made it impossible to make at that time.

There are a few of those BBC Choice/Three comedy programmes which have slipped through the cracks - don't think Monkey Dust or The Wrong Door are even available on iplayer.

Tiplodocus

Short version:

Attempt to re-express your target's position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: "Thanks, I wish I'd thought of putting it that way."

List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).

Mention anything you have learned from your target.

Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.


But will they work on Nazis?
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

There is the danger, Shark, that you're inadvertently equating Nazis and people who like to be even mildly efficient.  I'm sure that's not what you meant to do.

Not a great demonstration of the rules you've just endorsed, Sharky. And I'm saying that as something of an anarchist myself.

Not at all - I'm lumping all those who believe
in the rights of the state together...
