Tiago Martins replied to Unseen's discussion 'Pitbulls - Threat or Menace? Our blind spot when it comes to this breed'"Let me just say this:

Tiago Martins commented on Matthew's blog post 'Atheist Vs. Rationalist?'"Not all atheists are such because they used their reason. While theists like to say that we are ALL just rebelling against religion or have been indocrinated as kids, there are actually some atheists to whom
this applies.
As others have said,…"
Tiago Martins replied to erik112358's discussion 'Alcohol: do people genuinely 'like' the taste?'"Here in Portugal not liking alcohol is like not liking pork. It's essentially disliking a big part of our gastronomy.
