    Net dating - anyone tried it?

    It's a really saturated market btw, there are literally dozens and dozens of net dating sites, from the more specialist to the more general, from the free to the paid for. Lots of money to be made in people being lonely, I suppose. Then there is the phenomenom that is speed dating. From...

    Banned Cartoons

    'Tis all subjective I suppose, but I think Family Guy can be both very funny, and very un-pc. Somewhat refreshing in an often sterile world, these days - like I say, you have an fashion now to seek reason to be offended. The humour in FG can seem a bit silly at times, but it is also capable of...

    Telepathy - Experiences and Insights

    Like most people, I have certainly had my fair share of coincidences, or perhaps thinking something just as another is thinking the same. However, there is no evidence to suggest that these are anything more than normal coincidences that are experienced by everyone, a lot. As far as I am...

    Banned Cartoons

    South Park censored after threat of fatwa over Muhammad episode | Television & radio | The Guardian It seems so. No surprise that it was the professionally offended who were at the root of it. It is all about control for that mindset, they wish to control how we think, what we laugh at, and...

    Banned Cartoons

    No, I think you're right, but remember, these days we have a culture of 'being offended', there are people who just cannot wait to find *something* to be offended about ... even animation. Freedom of expression in all mediums is crucial imo, as is an ability not to take things too seriously...

    Banned Cartoons

    Here is an old Betty Boop one which I believe was banned, at one point. Is there ever a real case for banning a cartoon, or by doing so are we perhaps guilty of being as over sensitive as the Muslims who get very irrate at anyone daring to draw a satirical cartoon of Mohammed? Anyway...

    Misconceptions about Islam

    Yes - totally agree that there are the nutters and radicals in other sectors of the community, although I cannot recount anyone threatening someone with death for mocking their ATHEISM? Maybe a wee link there, perhaps? But you are stating, so that we're clear, that Islam does not in itself...

    Misconceptions about Islam

    So true. It's what he does though. It's a trick used to stifle debate, and smear others. Thankfully, this low ruse is usually seen through by the intelligent observer - it has been so overused that people are now seeing it as misrepresentation and manipulation, which is precisely what it...

    Nukes vs Science

    Although I would like to tell you otherwise, it seems people themselves are literally unable to visualise a world WITHOUT them, it's sort of sad that millions of people have been tricked into thinking we all need those things. However, I do take their point that when something is invented, it...

    Net dating - anyone tried it?

    And yet there are so many terrible reviews of it, for all it's supposed glitz and features. The billing method, for one thing, was soundly criticised, and so was the fact that paid members do not know if the person they are sending a message to is a fully paid member or not. If it is the...

    You are likely correct, re the inflating of numbers for propaganda reasons. In terms of measuring those numbers, I am that man with the clipboard - ;) Seriously though, I suppose the closest you could come would be to take into account populations of each nation, and use that to estimate how...

    Charity funds addicts contraception

    Well, all I can do Sam is speak from personal experience. There is not one addict that I know whose life would be improved by deciding to have a baby, indeed, I would regard it as a high risk strategy. They need to get themselves clean first, before thinking of brining another human life into...

    Charity funds addicts contraception

    Well, if you were a smack head, for example, then there is every chance that if you fell pregnant, the baby would be born with an addiction - and getting pregnant knowing the pain this causes to the baby is utterly irresponsible. On top of that, any social work dept will soon tell you of the...

    Eugenics? Hardly. It is simply encouraging more responsibilty, in my eyes.

    Charity funds addicts contraception

    A US charity has paid 26 female drug addicts in Britain to have contraceptive coils or implants fitted, according to reports. Project Prevention said it has made initial payments of £60 and a UK-based charity is hoping to launch a similar scheme. Barbara Harris, who founded the US...

    So eternal joy and love, with no concept of sadness, dissapointment, and so on? But surely, unless you experience sadness, dissapointment etc, it becomes impossible to appreciate 'joy' to the full, given that you have nothing to measure it against. And were this fixed state to be one in...

    (*reminder) reinforces my point, all the more. If I was going to dedicated my life to (as a comparison), one day being able to go live in another nation, I would want to know everything there is about that nation, before I chose to devote my life to getting there. How populated is it...

    Interesting (again). From those two options, here is what I think. See the men who would have the power to effect a large scale nuclear war (that is not you and I, btw!)..? These men, their associates and families, they already have state of the art residences which have been built, with...

    Can I? There is no use you saying that, then just writing me off, is there? If you are offering to demonstrate enterity here and now, that is a staggering carrot, and I am interested in what form this experience would take. Yet you write me off, and decide that I am not fit to understand...
