World Book Day

Just to let you know that World Book Day is this Thursday (well, it is in this part of the world, anyway) and to celebrate Alex Barclay and myself will be holding two events. The first, in Kildare, is pretty much sold out, but the second one is in Easons in O'Connell Street, Dublin, at 6 PM. We'll be there, talking about... stuff... and books... and writing... and, er... annnnnyway...

Because this is somewhat last minute, I'm not expecting that many people to turn up to the Dublin event, which means it'll be a lot more casual and chatty than usual. If you're interested, get in touch with Easons to reserve a place, and we'll see you there.

Toodles.

Star Inkbright said...

RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE NOT MINDLESS ROBOTS

I don't think people realise that belonging to a religion doesn't automatically make you a mindless drone that thinks exactly the same as everyone else in the religion. People in a religion still have different views and are still human with their own opinions. What do you think will happen if you join a religion? Do you think they brainwash you with their special brainwashing serum? Or do you think your brain just disappears?
Religious Studies annoys me. People ask, "What would a Christian think about this?"
And I think, "Well, it entirely depends on who the Christian is as all Christians think differently, seeing as they're all people and people all have different views. Christians don't all think the same thing, you know."
They're meant to be teaching us how to understand religious people, but they are so not. How teaching us that belonging to a religion makes you a brain-dead robot helps people understand how being religious feels, I have no idea. They don’t exactly allow us to walk around the classroom pretending to be zombies. They mostly expect us to work it out, but seeing as we’ve never been zombies and don’t know how being one feels, that is rather hard.
They teach us about discrimination and stereotyping. They teach us that it is bad. But then they do it themselves. They stereotype religions, say that everyone who belongs to this religion automatically thinks this. ‘This’ doesn’t just mean an aspect of the religion. ‘This’ can be a modern issue that doesn’t involve that religion at all.
They don't tell us how it would feel to be a part of a religion at all. No, so long as we know what religious people are told to believe, that makes it okay. It’s like reading the school rules and expecting to learn how schoolchildren think from them.
Religions are a lot like political parties. If you look at speeches of David Cameron's, you can find out what the Tories are meant to stand for and what one of them thinks. But you have no idea why everyone in the Conservative party chooses to be in it, you have no idea what different views they all have on what their party should be doing. They'll all be in it for different reasons and will all have different views on what the party should be. Same with any political party. Same with any religion. People join religions for different reasons. They aren’t always just bored kids in them because their parents make them be. There are thoughts, feelings, realisations behind it.

TBC.

Star Inkbright said...

One boy in my RS class said Christians were stupid for not reacting, that if someone called them a name they should fight back.
He didn’t know that a lot of Christians actually would. Some wouldn’t, some would rise above the insult and ignore it, but some would fight back. How can this be, you might ask, when all Christians believe the same thing? They don’t. They’ve all been told the same thing by God, but they interpret it differently to each other, and some just disobey the rules occasionally. Once again, this is like school rules. You’re meant to obey them all, but rarely does this always happen.
How can people interpret things differently? Well, imagine you were given the phrase “I have climbed a mountain.” Some people could think it meant someone had literally climbed a mountain, using harnesses and ropes and so on. Some could think it meant someone had walked up a big hill, and was exaggerating. Some could think it was metaphorical, and the person who had written the phrase hadn’t literally climbed any mountains, but had mentally overcome great obstacles. Some could think the same, except have a different interpretation of the metaphor.
There are billions of phrases like this in the Bible. Therefore, there are billions and billions of different views of the Bible and of Christianity. An example from Christianity is that most Christians believe that men and women are equal. Some think this means that women should be able to do everything men can, and vice versa. Some think this means they have equal worth, but different roles and different duties.
Also, the Church and the Pope do not speak for all Christians. Another person in my RS class asked that if Christians thought everyone was equal, why did they hate gay people?
Correction. Christians are meant to think everyone is equal. A lot of them don’t, because they’re human and are just as bad as the rest of the humans.
Also, not all Christians “hate gay people.” A lot of Christians, for example me and my mum, are in favour of gay marriage. A lot of Christians, however, believe that marriage is the union of a man and a women and that gay people could be the equivalent of married, just not call it marriage, as it is incorrect use of the word.
Another thing to say. Occasionally I chance upon Christian YouTubers who comment on songs posted on YouTube saying things like “everyone who listens to this will go to hell.” I am sorry, but I do not see how posting comments of this nature is meant to achieve anything at all. If you want people to join your religion, you have to be welcoming, and make them want to be like you. By posting comments undermining the music people like, you are not only angering people and making them hate you, you are giving Christians a bad reputation. Who would want to be a Christian when it meant being like them? Also, who would want to be a Christian if it meant they could no longer listen to the music they liked?
People in general don’t want to join religions. I’ve been talking about Christianity all the way through this speech, but this speech isn’t exclusive to Christianity. Christianity was simply the religion I could say the most about. People do not want to join religions, and people do not like religions, and people are not fans of religious people. And why is that? Mostly because people think that belonging to a religion means you have to think exactly what you are told to think, and also because a lot of religious people are jerks and people don’t want to be like them.
I said before that belonging to a religion was like belonging to a political party. It’s stronger than that; you often have to wear things marking you out as different, and more loyalty is required; but it is similar. You believe you know the best way of living, the best way of doing things, and you think that being in it will benefit you. Unless they’re concealing it, political parties don’t use brainwashing serum, and neither do religions. Just because you believe in something and want to follow it does not mean you suddenly surrender your freedom of thought.

Why we can't be given paper textbooks anymore, I have no idea. It would be much easier and much less fiddly. Online textbooks are more convenient? WTH?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Online textbooks? We don't have those... we have paper textbooks :)

Star Inkbright said...

We have paper textbooks for German. Until rhis year, we had paper textbooks for French as well.

I don't care how heavy they are to carry round. They're a lot bloody easier to look at than online ones.

Star Inkbright said...

. . . I suppose I'd like them more if they cooperated with the mini laptop . . .

I feel like I'm about to cry. I don't even know why. O_O

Star's Guide to German:

yes = ja
correct/right/true = richtig

but = aber
German = Deutsch
French = Franzosich
that = das
is = ist
it = es

That's about it. :P

Star Inkbright said...

Ennuyeux is French? WTH?

. . . Of course it's French, you idiot, it sounds damn French-like dunnit?

And nul, I keep forgetting that's French. It's because I really remember when we learnt them in Year Seven, and it was in our German classroom with our German teacher because it was our alternating day . . .

Learning two languages at once is REALLY confusing. :/ I just decided.

Star Inkbright said...

Well, we discovered I made SENSE. *is btw a ghost*

I'm sticking around on Earth coz I have unfinished buisness; I didn't reach the top of the solitaire leaderboard whilst I was alive! :'(

Star Inkbright said...

*Well, we discovered I made SENSE, and died of shock and horror. XD

Aisling Dubh said...

I know Star. I feel so sorry for the ameriminions. We're actually fairly lucky over here in our few little country's that are a bit away from most other places.

Aisling Dubh said...

Brb have to have shower.

Star Inkbright said...

*disagrees* We've right next to Europe and all them countries. *agrees* We have to go on the ferry/aeroplane/train to go anywhere, and it's 'SPENSIVE.

I always argue against myself, apart from when I don't. When I'm trying to make a point I often keep stopping to point out how I'm wrong. Ich bin doof.

*mutters under breath* Taylor flacking Swift -_-

That girl is so immature. I know I'm really immature, but look at her. Harry and her met on the 22ND of November. Her new song is 22. She dresses like HARRY in her new video. And in the middle of We Are Never Getting Back Together when she performed at the Grammy's, she broke out in an English accent. Coincedence? I think not.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I love Taylor :) gtg, bye Eden, bye Brave! *hugs both*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Bye Saph.

Star Inkbright said...

:( FOURS, SAPH!

Everyone I meet either is neutral, loves her, or hates her . . .

I'm going with dislike. No offense, anyone.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I still prefer U2 to anything else.

Aisling Dubh said...

Back! (again)

Luciana said...

Et toi*, Star

Et, personnellement, ça va bien merci beaucoup, ma chérie.

Je pense que Taylor Swift est très talentueux, vraiment sympa et absolument belle!

Star Inkbright said...

But guys, if you want excellanté music, you're looking in the wrong place. :)

DISTURBED 5EVER! <3 Sorry for stealing your word, Scáth, but the word '4ever' seems incorrect to me now. *laughs*

PLUS FIVE IS LUCKY AND FOUR MEANS DEATH. O_O

One Direction are eejits, Brave?

They're helping dying people in Africa, by donating £500,000 each to Red Nose Day. All their money from their new single goes to saving children's lives. They're begging everyone to donate to save a life. Zayn, Harry and Liam started bawling when they saw the children, and Louis and Niall were heartbroken. They have a 3D movie coming out in August, tickets for the premire are sold out already. They're going on a sold out world tour that I am going to on Monday. One Direction have cured so many girls and boys of course around the world of depression and worse things that I won't name. They treat their fans (and haters) with love and respect. Yes, even the haters. They are involved in over 8 charities in Britain alone.

So, Brave, are they eejits now?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

But and I don't add this in favour of anyone.
They smoke.

Star Inkbright said...

SCÁTH, I COULDN'T SAY 'ALSO, I AM GOOD AT ENGLISH' /AT ALL/ AND YET I UNDERSTOOD YOU??? *laughs at self*

Oh, and I know excellanté isn't a proper word. It's my word. Shush. :)

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC.

U2? They did I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, didn't they? Disturbed did a cover of that . . .

Aisling Dubh said...

I'm confused what happened when I was gone that now some people are speaking French (I think it's French anyway)?

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Maraness*

And this could be why I always appear to be on 1D's side nowadays. :)

I MAY HAVE MY ANSWER!!!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

One Direction don't smoke! >:(

Zayn did, and the fans begged him to stop, so he did!

Star Inkbright said...

Ja, French. :)

Hi Aisling!

French and Irish get spoken the most on the blog altogether . . . :)

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yes U2 did that and I refuse to hear any cover version.

Aisling Dubh said...

Please don't tell me that people are arguing over singers/bands.

Aisling Dubh said...

Ah Irish. Has Derek ever blogged in Irish? He should.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I am not arguing I am only stating my own opinion.
And not commenting on anyone else's.

Star Inkbright said...

We are, Aisling.

I never said you had to, Eden. :)

I was just acknowledging the fact that I'd heard one of their songs. Because of course I looked up the original after. :)

Aisling Dubh said...

And then translate obviously because not everyone speaks Irish.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

God, Eden, you just made me cry.

Thanks for that. ._.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I admit that would be interesting to see aisling.

Luciana said...

Oui, français est très beau et le plus romantique langue!

Aisling Dubh said...

Oh dear.
I'm staying neutral in this unless I decide to take a side.

Star Inkbright said...

I didn't like the cover, mostly because it was too not-Disturbed (although the instruments at the beginnning were cool), so therefore in my opinion the original is probably better anyway. :)

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Sorry.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Haters just make me cry. If you don't like them, please don't say anything like that about them. Especially about their personal issues :'/

Aisling Dubh said...

I just thought of something that would be hilarious.

If Derek was to put maybe a paragraph or a page of LSODM or book 9 in Irish.

Well it'd be funny for Irish people anyway. Y'know cause we'd understand it. Well I would anyway and anyone else in a Gaelscoil would.

Star Inkbright said...

I'm on 1D's side. *nods firmly*

Frencg is the language of love, according to Rick Riordan, which is why Aphrodite's kids can automatically speak it. You lose out on a power if you're already French, though. *grins*

Star Inkbright said...

*French

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I don't go to a gaelscoil but I still can speak Irish but not as good as you probably.
I'd say I'd just use google translate for it.

Luciana said...

*hugs Mara tightly* The best people tend to get the worst hate. And that's why there are wonderful people like you that remind people of their true beauty. <3 *hugs again*

Star Inkbright said...

I wouldn't bother with Google Translate! I'd just wait until Ais came on and ask her! *grins*

Mara . . . *hugs*

Adapting advice my mum's given me in the past, you know they're awesome, and as long as you know it, nobody else's opinion really matters. :)

Aisling Dubh said...

Sorry I just sounded like I think anyone who doesn't go to a Gaelscoil can't speak Irish there. That was unintended. They can speak Irish.

And everyone else could just use google translate yes Eden.

Aisling Dubh said...

Thanks Star. *grins back*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Even if you could speak Irish.
Lol.

Star Inkbright said...

I could have adapted that better . . . :/

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

i KNOW Mara that they help dieing chidren but I think there a tad girly and act like lunitics.

Hehehehe

Aisling Dubh said...

No Jedward act like lunatics.

Anonymous said...

Hi... I have five minutes!

Aisling Dubh said...

Hi Fabi.

Star Inkbright said...

1D may act like lunatics, but hey, almost every single person I have deemed awesome acts like a lunatic. XD

Acting like a lunatic gives you more awesomeness points. XD

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Hahahah...

Anonymous said...

Oh dear, an argument.

How about this?

Brave and anyone else, you are free to listen to whichever bands you choose, but don't insult 1D when Mara's around. It's going to get you in trouble sooner or later.
