I don't really do regrets
regretting things can't change them; just learn from where you fucked up and you might not do it next time. That said, I wish I'd worked harder during my A-levels and at uni. But other than that...it's like that film, where one tiny change has the potential to alter the course of your life: I might piss and whinge a lot, but I actually quite enjoy being me, living my life, and my past has shaped that. If I changed it, it might be for the worse.
Either way I'll never know so stop worrying about it. Same goes for the alt really.

of course you know
It's bollocks. Tsk, call yourself a scientist.

Well, of course I'm a scientist
I need a mechanism and proof of principle then tested to n=3 before I'll believe.
Ain't gonna happen is it?

Ain't likely to happen either way though.

True
but since there is no proof, then your null hypothesis is that there is no life after death.

I still say scientists should be as pompously
arrogant about atheism as Dawkins.

He's a scientist?
I thought he was a prophet.

Damn, better tear down that Dawkinsite church I was building.

I agree with most of what he says
But he's a smug twat.

The fact that he is such an absurdly smug twat
puts me right off ever wanting to agree with him though.

same here
I know he's talking sense most of the time but his personality really grates and I don't think that helps get the point across.

By the by there was a good episode of horizon on tonight about the public perception of science.

I'm with you berk.
Nothing I can do about the past.

Nope
always try and remember that, it stops you moping.

From your earling posts it sounds like not only have you stopped mopping.
You've stopped cleaning and tidying your flat too.

I haven't stopped
I've just been away for the weekend, which is when I usually do the housework...

Well don't

They you can put your missing leg on your head
And wave your arms around whilst shouting 'I'm the Isle of Man! I'm the Isle of Man!'
