its a shame you put it down 2 your age>>>>>I`d have thought someone with more knowledge that should come with age, would make you more excepting towards others who have the strength 2b how they want 2b rather than play out an illusion for the sake of fitting into a Christian/muslim belief system. any how`s a finger up thee old poop shoot will put a smile on most straight mens faces>>>>>>
I just don't think it's natural whether you are religious or not. Even a hole in the fence ain't safe from these people.
Religion should be removed from all connections with the state. It is way past time for the human race to grow up and stand on it's own feet without the need for child like beliefs. Combine weak minded humans with medieval ideas of morality and you have trouble.
Is it better to leave them in Council care homes, without any family? There is no reason two men (or two women) can't give a child a loving supportive home.
I once found an opinion convincing that what's important in Christian theology is monogamy, not marriage. The two good options are celibacy and only sleeping with one person. In any case, it's always interesting how eager many Christians are to cast stones at other sinners.
Sometimes the best way to show the true nature of events and ideas is to laugh at them. Life of Brian is one of the best examples. We will have to reconsider the comment: Coming up trumps! it takes on a more sinister meaning now
Sexual monogamy irrespective of religion is good, if only because its practical effects are the reduction of STD transmission + people become far more safer potential blood donors. Marriage for Christians is implicitly a far stronger commitment to monogamy (as to not be so when you married means you have committed adultery) .
I do attend church,however a few things make me think:- How could a couple of men build a bloody big Ark and then walk around the planet for two of each species? How/where would they find,then store,all the food for them? How many shovels needed to keep the place clean? ...and.....they keep saying that Jesus will come back one day.......It is now 2000 years since......if he came back today and told people who he was,they woulkd probably think he was a nut....... I know,but it makes you think. I believe something must have created the Universe......look at man's body. Blood,veins,heart,stomach etc......how could it JUST HAPPEN?
I think you've answered your own confusion on religion dude>>>>>>>its just rules set out by man that's been found out by time and progress of the human species>>>>but the progress of our species hits the buffer zone when it comes 2 religion..........lets be honest here between Christianity and Islamic faiths the world is being held back on a fking major scale
I couldn't help but notice Little Miss Strong & Stable leaving the Commons while Keir Starmer was annihilating David Davish, Liam Fox, Jacob Rees-Mogg and others...
My take on the Muslim religion......one day an Arab got off his camel to rest and while sitting there decided to invent a religion where a man comes first,camels came second and women were a poor third.
Burst water main on the North Circular by the rail bridge past Bounds Green Road (if you're heading west). Again. Why in the politics thread? Well it's at least the third time in the past three months in nearly the same (perhaps THE same) location. It's not politics today, but it might be the result of politics from years ago. That's when they "privatised" the water industry. Several more relevant points now: 1. If you are privatising for competition there is no competition because all that has been created are private monopolies. 2. If you are privatising to get these state industries into the hands of "the people" you haven't got that as many of these franchises are owned by nationalised industries of other companies. 3. If you are a monopoly but needing to make profit, the only profit you can effectively make is sales minus expenses. Neither of this is very acceptable because you are putting up the price of a basic need (see next point) or somehow making savings in your budget. So what do you do? Maybe have fewer workers - maybe people that do maintenance - or maybe even have less maintenance and only react when things go wrong. Obviously keeping up the water infrastructure is really expensive, and what happens when it needs replacing? Perhaps the government will pay for it like they subsidise much else for companies that should be independent. 4. Regardless of the profit argument, water is a basic need. I think there is a strong ethical argument that it should not been in "private" hands. So I look forward to later (again) being stuck in the massive traffic jams caused by closing one of the two lanes the North Circular, and ponder on whether privatisation might just have had something to do with it.
Working for Thames Water and their previous named compaies for 20 years I found locating "invisible" broken pipes and mains quite easy.Today,they have cut staff,some doing two jobs (according to my mate) and lost water doesn't seem to worry them. My old boss would have gone stark raving mad if he could see what is going on.
I have to say that, as someone lumbered with Sutton & East Surrey Water, in the past couple of years it seems that a month doesn't go by where there isn't a day where you daren't drink the water out of the tap due to the various "additives" in it. It's ****ing pathetic that this is allowed to continue.
