Rosberg has controlled the last two GP brilliantly, has to be said. Great driving. Bit of pressure on Hamilton now.
Yeah true, would have probably checked who his dad was on Wikipedia before I started talking about people dying in races though. PS was it you who mentioned the Motorsport Manager PC game? It looks brilliant.
Yes it was. Is is out now? I feel a purchase coming on if so. Max is alright - he's been getting an incredibly hard time recently about his driving, but then so did Senna/Schumacher et al when they started. The old guard don't like having their feathers ruffled. I love it.
Mother Teresa declared a saint today. Doesn't matter Mother Teresa believed that suffering brought people closer to God and the people in her hospices went without painkillers and usually died a very painful death. Doesn't matter she was a pretty sick and twisted individual, but hey, if that's who they want to hold up as a role model, then so be it. Guess she goes along with all the *****s etc in the church.
Not yet I think it's next week. I'm going to pre-order, it's not like I haven't got a million other things to do at the moment.* *I have (release date is still "September 2016" apparently so not sure when exactly)
Massive crash at the start of the Moto GP at Silverstone. Bas and Espargaro down. Red flagged. Both riders conscious (somehow).
I'm sure the patients she left writhing in agony would have felt a little better if they'd known this was going to happen. Good old religion, never fails to impress. Vin
Don't agree with that or her views on contraception and abortion, since the best way to beat poverty is to empower women. Everyone is better off in societies where women are treated well, because it is a fairer society for all. However, doesn't mean Mother Theresa didn't do some good....after all if you were an orphan being taken care of you won't care about the beliefs of the woman who has got you housed and fed. And the sick and dying (many who won't be in terrible pain) would be glad of a peaceful place to die. She was a woman who helped many, but wasn't perfect. What is better...to help people imperfectly or not at all. The bit I always find strange is the whole business of becoming a Saint. If you believe in a God, surely someone is a Saint or not....why does God need a committee and proof? Very strange.
Konta out in straight sets...shame, one she could have won. Still a good run in this tournament for her.
http://economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/kolkata-will-take-a-century-to-recover-from-mother-teresa/articleshow/53990241.cms Or this: She ran hospitals (If an institution with a 40% mortality rate is actually classifiable as a hospital) like prisons, particularly cruel and unhygienic prisons at that. Children in her care were tied to their beds to prevent them misbehaving. She let the terminally ill (and even those with illnesses that would have been curable if her 'hospitals' were run better) die without pain relief because suffering bought them closer to Jesus Most of the money donated to her causes was filtered back into the (already exceedingly rich) Catholic Church, or used to expand her 'charities' to new regions, rather than actually helping those in her care, many of whom were starving and lacking basic medical care... Basically she didn't love the poor and hungry, she loved poverty and hunger, she saw suffering as a grace and despite being lauded as a humanitarian given the fame and donations she had at her disposal did relatively little practical good. She befriended and defended a genocidal dictator, Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier, and accepted donations from him of money extorted from the very poor she was supposedly helping as well as drug dealing and body part trafficking. She accepted and refused to return profits of criminal activity. Including one and a quarter million US dollars in cash and use of a private jet from convicted racketeer and fraudster Charles Keating who stole over $3 Billion from US taxpayers in the 80's and 90's... Upon his conviction not only did Mother Teresa and The Catholic Church refuse to return the money they had received from him, Mother Teresa actually tried to use her influence to have him let off or at least sentenced leniently. She publicly defended known ****philes from within the clergy, including trying to use her influence to have leniency shown in sentencing of convicted child rapist Donald McGuire and campaigning to have him reinstated to the priesthood and allowing him to continue his work... even though this work would inevitably bring him into regular contact with children. Because so much of the money she raised went to the church not the poor she hated waste in her hospitals, insisting staff reused needles until they were too blunt to continue using... even in known HIV high risk areas. She directed a mere 7% of the monies her charities raised directly those she was supposedly helping... With much of the rest ending up in secret bank accounts and as yet still unaccounted for. She routinely baptised those dying under her care regardless of their own wishes or religious beliefs. She opposed both abortion and contraception, even in cases of incest, abuse and rape. She praised and supported Ireland's anti-divorce laws... even in cases where spousal abuse was apparent, forcing countless women to live out lives of slavery and torture. Basically pretty much everything about her was evil, but the churches PR machine didn't have a hard job spinning a kindly looking old women stood amongst some of the poorest people in the world to look lie a saint, and once that side of the story was cemented in the press it became all most people saw of her.
She has been credited with two miracles - both patients apparently healed by praying to her. Absolutely farcical. And that's why she is now a saint.
Yep, one of the cases was a guy with cancer was meant to be cured. But he didn't even have cancer in the first place, it was a cyst.
Couldn't see it posted but I've probably missed it, Keith Vaz - Prick extraordinaire has been caught/accused of paying for the services of two male prostitutes. It's unfortunate for his family but hopefully it'll end his political career.
