		<description><![CDATA[Her Royal Majesty the Queen, and Prince Charles, does not say something because she has failed as &#039;Defender of The Faith&#039; and instead become &#039;Defender of the FaithS&#039;, so any criticism/observation/opinion/judgement/mockery/humour et cetera of so-called &quot;faiths&#039; other than Anglican (or other &quot;Christian&quot; denominations) , well, one in particular (take a guess which one), may be offensive - and, you know how angry they get (on behalf of their &#039;commander&#039;) when somebody upsets them!   
 
As a believer (in God The Father Creator and salvation through Jesus Christ), it is not wise to mock the Holy Spirit (at all), however that does not mean God does not have a sense of humour!  I believe He has the best sense of humour!  Afterall, God bestowed Rowan Atkinson with such a wonderful gift to share, along with other gifts such as intelligence and wisdom!  Thank God!  Oh, and &#039;Not The Nine O&#039;clock News&#039; was a great show, too. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maybe Rowan Atkinson&#039;s words will inspire Ricky Gervais to take up the cause of liberty.  The other Rowan, leader of the Anglican Communion, is beyond the pale of hope.   
 
While I&#039;m ruminating, I&#039;d like to ask:  What&#039;s with the Monarchy?  The silence on this issue is deafening.  Why doesn&#039;t Her Royal Majesty the Queen say something?  Speak out against the Islamic wave engulfing her great country.  Come to think of it, her eldest, Prince Charles, seems positively philo-Islamic, given his recent pronouncements. 
 
&quot;Four Weddings and a Funeral,&quot; by the way, was a fine comedy, a feel-good Richard Curtis special.  Rowan Atkinson, by God, you&#039;ve passed the audition!  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that I have been a fan of Rowan Atkinson ever since I saw his program, the Black Adder.. Unlike the typical American stand up comedians of late Mr. Atkinson has a mind, and it shows. Most people think of Rowan Atkinson as the silent or mumbling Mr. Bean, but you will see in the Black Adder programs that he has quite a wonderful mastery of the English language. What surprises me is that John Clease, Eric Idle, Micheal Palin, and the rest of Monty Python has not followed  Mr. Atkinson&#039;s lead to call for the repeal of this section 5 of the public order act, of course many are probably U.S citizen&#039;s by now.

		<description><![CDATA[How ironic. A comedian is more wiser than the Archbishop of Canterbury. I hope that Rowan Atkinson succeeds and Archbishop Williams retires to somewhere far,far away from Britain,hopefully the British Virgin Islands,where he won&#039;t shame his church any further.

		<description><![CDATA[As a classical prayer book Anglican I have found that the archbishops of Canterbury since Geoffrey Fisher have left a great deal to be desired. They have seemed more political and less concerned with being real Christians than at any time in the history of the English Church. People forget or ignore that it was an Archbishop of Canterbury which led the barons revolt which gave us, Americans as well as English, the Magna Carta, the first great attempt at defining the liberties of free men. Nor are we reminded in the history books that fifty per cent plus one of the writers of the American Constitution were Anglicans. That being the case I find the present fascist positions of the English and American Anglican establishment to be both &quot;disgusting&quot; and &quot;reprehensible.&quot;  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It simply asks that commentors abide by civil practices when commenting.  You can have any opinion you want but if you just want to spew obscenities then they will either edit it or not post it.  The problem with your point of view is that you mistake the spewing of obscenities or name-calling with real free speech.  Of course its legal to do those things but this is a privately owned site and the owners are not under any obligation to meet the test of &quot;free speech&quot; defined by you and others who believe that every swear word you write or shout is worthy of anything other than contempt. ]]></description>
