<p>Won't be shown on UK TV either. Apparently the libel laws of Scotland and Northern Ireland are to blame:</p>

<p>To say the least. Fear prevails. HBO reportedly had 160 lawyers vetting the doc. </p> -

<p>One thing the documentary doesn't detail, but continues to fascinate me, is that some of those very-high ranking ex-Scientology members interviewed -- e.g. Marty Rathbun (the Michael Jordan/Wayne Gretzky of auditing) and Mike Rinder (the Australian attack-dog) -- were "routed out" (purged) from the Church, but they still continue to believe in Scientology, including the crazy Xenu myth and their lives as Operating Thetans. The Church calls them "Squirrels." These squirrels believe the Church is a cult, they believe David Miscavige (Chairman of the Board and the guy Tom Cruise worships as a god) is corrupt and evil, but they still believe in Hubbard and (presumably) the e-meter.</p>

<p>Yeah I was surprised they didn't cover that in the documentary. Rinder mentions aspects of Scientology that "makes sense" and emphasises the difference between the Scientology and the CoS on his blog</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So he's still a nutter</p>

<p>I bumped into his blog when searching for info on the building in Auckland they've sunken so much cash into ($10 million for the initial purchase plus $16 million to do it up... but the site is currently a mess)</p>

<p>Here's his post on it</p>

<p>What strange behaviour - the easiest person in the world to destroy in a street fight is someone with their pants around their ankles.</p>
-
<p>That was just odd - and maybe I don't have the right sense of humour but I didn't find it very funny. Also, there's no way I'd start trying to pick a fight with someone in the states, you're likely to get a gun pulled on you.</p>

<p>The dog peeing one was better - it had girls in bikinis.</p> -
<p>well the 'awesome' tone of this thread had been lowered considerably over the past few days, so the bar was very low...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah not sure why you'd walk up to someone and just try to start up with them, but hey, thats what the internet is for apparently, boy there is some farked up shit out there for what people think is funny though! :think:</p> -

<p>IIRC a guy got in trouble recently for knocking a senior citizen over in the street (I think he was a war vet) stadning and laughing at him over in the UK(?) and his mate filmed it all. The world has gone mad</p> -
<p>Now I'm not a golfer, but if I was I'd want this:</p>
