Nasty little creep, aren't you runner? I can see you've been taking lessons from Yasmin Abdel-Magied in respecting the deceased. If you've nothing worthwhile to contribute, would it really pain you that much to keep your damn mouth shut for a change instead of dribbling sh!t all over this thread in your customary manner?

For those of us not so bereft of common decency as runner, I found these little sketches this morning on youtube. I find them quite charming... one of the things I admired greatly about Stephen Hawking, aside from his work in cosmology, was his sense of humour.

Dear Paul,

Stephen Hawking did fundamentally believe that the
universe and life had meaning:

"Remember to look at the stars and not down at your feet.
Try to make sense and wonder about what makes the
universe exist. Be curious and however difficult life may
seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at."

Did you know that He was offered a knighthood in the 1990s?
Hawking refused the knighthood in protest against the lack
of funding for the sciences.

However in 1989 he was made part of the Order of the
Companion of Honour (an honour that is given to people who
have made a lifetime contribution to the Arts, Sciences,
Medicine or Government).

Also in 1982 he received the CBE (Commander of the Most
Excellent Order of the British Empire) and is a Fellow
of the Royal Society. He's also received many other awards.

A truly remarkable human being.

Yes, Hawking was a monumentally great scientific mind.

Runner, with his grade ten education is not, nor is runner fit to comment as he has.

Be ashamed runner. The more you comment as you just have, the more you emphasise the unfitness of your views.

Just piss off.

Toni,
Nothing YAM said was disrespectful of the deceased.

Yeah Rusty we know truth does not fit your sick narratives. I am going nowhere.

The truth in this matter is that you as a specific representative of "christianity" are choosing to rubbish the opinions and achievements of an indisputably great scientist whose achievements you cannot begin to comprehend.

What's you next move? Kick a cripple?

You are most obviously going nowhere. Keep it up, very soon no-one will be able to hear you at all.

Rusty.
