They should pick the berk up and chuck him in the Itchen

FFS, get back to the bookies quick and back your mortgage on Saints going down.....

Did anybody hear Dr Richard Dawkins telling a Bishop that it was "nice you can talk to your imaginary friend" ? Anyway, I thought the whole point of God is that you BELIEVE, ( or not ); if there was absolute proof that God did, ( or did not ), exist, would that not be on the one hand counter-productive, or on the other completely nihilistic ?

At last, something I can agree with

Read the second part of post #17. There is nothing like democracy, and the the US system is NOTHING like democracy.

Yes, but I don't suppose there were many state troopers physically preventing coloured voters from exercising their mandate ?

Funny, I thought it was more to do with a GLOBAL financial crisis, originating mainly in the US of A, caused largely by extremely questionable lending practices, and leading to multi-national banking organisations losing faith in each other as each successive house of cards collapsed. In these circumstances, investment runs and hides in what are perceived to be the strongest currencies; historically this has been the $US, purely due to the size of their economy, but now the Euro has reached a position of trust and is tending to usurp the £ in the eyes of the 'players' as it is less dependant on the financial services sector as a proportion of overall GDP.

So will Rory Bremner

Look up Churchill and the Gold Standard, MacMillan and the 'never had it so good' speech, or 'Black Wednesday' - 16th September 1992. All bl00dy good indications of Conservative fiscal management.

Considering 3 factors, the EURO would be a good thing; First, we do more trade with the EU than outside it, so switching would save on working with, and converting between, two differing currencies. Second, as the pound has fallen fairly consistently against the euro, the sooner we join the better, as we are losing value all the time. Third, it would silence all the 'little Englanders' who think we still amount to anything significant on the world stage. We have far more in common with Europe than any other international grouping, ( other than our historic 'cultural' links with the Commonwealth ), but seem obsessed with the isolationists 3000 miles away on the other side of 'the pond'. As we have seen recently, our economy is tied into a morass of global influences that we can have very little independent influence upon. The euro is now the world's second currency, after the $US, and we can only gain financial stability from unifying with our continental partners.

On any acceptable definition of 'Democracy' Gore did win it; the shennanigins in Florida, ( governed by Bush's brother ), and the subsequent lack of Congressional backbone demonstrate clearly just the sort of freedom and parliamentary system the US is exporting all around the world :cool:

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, suffering leads to the dark side.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are known as "Abrahamic religions" The first Abrahamic religion was Judaism as practiced in ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah prior to the Babylonian Exile, at the beginning of the 1st millennium CE. The firstborn son of Abraham, Ishmael, Muslims consider Father of the Arabs. Abraham's second son Isaac is called Father of the Hebrews. In the Jewish tradition Abraham is called Avraham Avinu or "Our Father Abraham". For Muslims, he is considered an important prophet of Islam, and the ancestor of Muhammad through Ishmael.

Abraham is a revered prophet of Islam who, according to the Qur'an, built the Kaaba in Mecca with his son Ishmael.

Seconded

And the problem with this little piece of 'history' is that muslims view themselves as 'children of Abraham', so try squaring that particular circle :smt021

I think on that basis the Roswell alien acted as the second shooter - behind the grassy knoll, to ensure that President Kennedy's assassination was successful, so that he couldn't divulge to the world that Ford and General Motors were conspiring to deny the existence of a car motor than runs solely on distilled water. FACT :cool:

I thought it was all a CIA plot :finga:

I think it was Gary Player who said 'the more I practice the 'luckier' I get".

What about those bl00dy Romans who came over and displaced my celtic forebears ? I want action from the international community to give me back my heritage.

Oops, also I have just remembered I referred to 'ragheads' on the Gaza thread, my bad

Never saw this sort of fuss when 'Paki' Bonner was playing for Celtic

No, to quote Gration's first introduction it's 'Robert' Lowe, wonder were he is now ?

Of course we deserved it, we scored more goals than they did - that is all that gets written into the record books.
