      It’s probably from an hour long portrait interview, in which they cover a lot of ground including favourite English literary pieces, and the interviewer tries to tie it to the guest. They would probably ask David Beckham which Harry Potter character he’d have on his football team.

      I have a feeling that A.A. Milne might just wanted to call a character the N-word, then first had a dream about how badly it aged, then in a second one how far racist gamers can go to say at least a “censored” version of it online.

    This looks like something from Viz magazine. They’ll regularly have big one page jokes about something and then have these little made up side bits in.

    Whole thing was probably about illegal immigrants taking small boats to the hundred acre wood and then there’s this little bit in the bottom.

            Remember that time he excused a woman getting sexually assaulted in an elevator by an Atheist, and he just shrugged it off as “A Muslim would have done worse” and claimed she was overreacting… haha… Dawkins is a piece of shit.

            He has also argued for Non-Local Consciousness and claims to be a “Cultural Christian”, so I wonder if he’s even an Atheist anymore…

              If you were raised in “the West” then you are most likely passively “culturally Christian” too.

                True, but the thing, as I don’t base my entire fucking identity around it to the point where I’m openly bragging about it, despite trying to be the figurehead of New Atheism (New Atheism and Atheism are different things)

                  We have to remember that “New Atheism” was/is largely a response to militant Islam and also demographic shift in western nations.
