except when you realise that they are using the abuse of children as a tool to further their fight against peoples beliefs, and the kids involved will probably have their names dragged through the courts again and blah blah blah blah

As someone pointed out on links only today that he used to do some good scientific talks and use that to back up his arguments.
in a clever and engaging ways....
I increasingly expect to see him anyday now kicking the walking sticks away, of old ladies going to church while shouting "you ignorant fools!" He just seems to be getting "bullish" which I feel takes the dignity of his argument away.

For a while I thought that, saying to friends "im a total atheist, but I'm not a fan of Dawkins really"
Then I actually read two of his books, watched any of his documentaries I could get my hands on. Now I think the bloke has incredible patience when it comes to religious types, and is actually very understated, especialy when you consider what he's up against. You wouldn't find some one who conducts them selves as well as Dawkins does in political discourse.

^Sorta this^
It's very easy for the modern enlightened individual to be "Dawkins agnostic" and call him a smug, belligerent extremist at dinner parties whilst pretending this is an opinion they came up with all by themselves. In truth he usually isn't as anything like as smug, aggressive or as extreme as we're often told. It's the classic desire for a polarised debate with black and white distinctions that makes these narratives so prevalent. Just as most religious figures aren't as unreasonable as they sometimes appear -often they're just surprised to be asked to defend their beliefs and thus fluff their arguments up in the process.
Dawkins ain't an atheist extremist, though he has tendency to tar groups with broad strokes -which is understandable given the broad spectrum of loons and crackpots that have done their best to show the very worse of religion, every day, in his email in-box.

As said previously, is isn't considered a state by the UN
Therefore, the pope cannot be a head of state.
Sadly, he won't be put on trial simply because he's the pope.
Where the justice in that is, I don't know.
I'm also a bit dismayed by the number of folks saying it'd be better to just brush it all under the carpet because it'll be too upsetting for the victims.

quite acceptable here. i suppose it might not travel, though.
not exactly in the common vernacular but in my work it's preferred to 'non-whites' (which used to be the term used) since it is descriptive of appearance rather than ethnicity and doesn't refer to white as the default.
i guess it could seem racist, so my apologies, but the people i know who use it are largely brown themselves. i think part of the reason is that it doesn't involve race or ethnicity or national origin and is therefore more inclusive and doesn't rely on assumptions about people.
