Harry is still young - wonder if he'll become king after William - assuming him and Kate don't have a baby girl?
Or you could end up stuffed in a holdall in your bath tub ....after zipping yourself in of course.......
Here here 9's - I certainly wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley! The world would be a better place if there was no religion!
So thats that then. The only way to avoid COL in a dark alley is to make him King of England. This thread really has gone past the point of no return.
That maybe so Swords, but I quite enjoyed reading through this thread. ( Much better than watching the voice. ) It's what I love about our board, although we all share a common love ( QPR ) we all agree and disagree on so many different things. What started off as a passe ' Happy Jubilee ' thread somehow managed to manifest itself into pro and anti royalty, conspiracy theories. Man on the moon, 9/11, Diana's death, God , Jesus, creation, science, universes, Paris, Prince Harry's father, Religion and a few other mind-boggling thoughts. Everyday is a school day on our board. It really is.
Definitely here, here on that - I strongly believe in family & friends and consider that the world would be a far better place without any kind of organized religion. We should all just be happy to be citizens of the human race.
What the **** happened to this thread. Existential crisis or what? The answers you seek are in Christopher Hitchin's superb 'God is Not Great'. Belief in a god is a primitive urge to explain the unknown or simply unexplainable and is increasingly redundant. Organized religion is on balance a force for evil and the prevention of progress. If you want evidence look at how the Archbishop of Canterbury tried to rationalise the Asian tsunami, citing it as 'God's punishment'. In Hitchins immortal phrase, he comes across as a 'stupefied peasant'.
A fantastic book and probably the best writer I've ever come across (yourself excluded of course Stan). His intellectual reasoning backed up by fact is, in the Scientific realm, unarguable. But here's the catch. There's a whole other level to human existence that a man with such brain power would find it impossible to experience precisely because his cognitive faculties are so all-consuming. That deeper level is consciousness. Being aware of your own thoughts means there's something observing them. Being aware of the awareness means there's something behind that again. Eckhart Tolles "A New Earth" and Hitchen's "God is not Great" are two great books but only Tolle gives the ultimate truth in the end.
Also note that the usual comeback to the question of.. '' If there is a God, how come he allows Children to die and why does he allow horrific events? '' Such as tsunami's aircrashes and mass starvation etc. The answer....'' God moves in mysterious ways. '' I gave up on God in 1976 aged ten. After years of attending catholic church and Sunday school on the insistence of my Irish father, who only went to church on Christmas Day..I remember praying to the good lord, to let QPR win the Division 1 Championship. I prayed and prayed that he wouldn't let Liverpool beat Wolves. For most of the game he did OK. But as I sat next to my bedroom door listening to the wireless that my dad had on. I could hear the commentary and result that filtered up my council flat hallway. ( The White City flats behind the school end.) Liverpool had won 3-1 v Wolves away. I climbed back into my bed sobbing, in my paisley nylon pyjamas. It awoke my eldest sister... '' Why are you crying? '' she asked. ''Liverpool won, and Rangers aren't the Champions. I could barely get the words out. '' I'm never ever believing in God ever again. '' I said. And I haven't. For some bizzare reason he favoured the Scouse kid who prayed equally as hard but had already won it in years gone by.
Biggest news from England is always about some Royal thing. So much media slobbering about a royal wedding, birthday, or some anniversary or other makes me It was one big reason I left england, but you'd have to live buried under a giant dung hill in outer kazakistan to really get away from it.
It's the pomp and circumstance that sets this nation apart. No other nation has it. Embrace it. To not do so is wasted energy. Enjoy... Hating is horrible. Long live the Queen................
Yepp, but they aren't mine! Except I pay taxes to them so perhaps they are! They are a bit less publicity horny than the English ones, and slighly less nauseating. Warrant only two
Sets the nation apart as being masters of arrogant, pomposity idiocy!. But I certainly don't waste energy on them! My hate is all for you Norwich!
