Re: The new insomniacs' thread

Bugger, 2am and I have not even yawned yet!

Seems to have put me in a bitchy mood, if blokes can be bitchy?

Or maybe the mood is blocking the sleep . . .

Think I will make myself a cup of chamomile infusion. Maybe a double strength one. With a dash of brandy.

Re: Shaking Hands

So, Iffy, please honour us with your opinion of events like the above, where the wearing of the correct clothes is more important than life itself. Would you kill your wife or daughter for running with hair uncovered from a burning house? Please explain to us ignorant Westerners how this squares wit...

Re: In or out?

And the common theme in all this? That the EU are hell bent on making life as difficult as possible for us. Because they realise that it would be better for some, (many, most?) countries, to have a completely different model. One which doesn't cripple half the continent. And you want to continue to...

A Christian dilemma

Joan's husband died. They had been friends since childhood, gently but very deeply in love with each other. Tim had loved Joan from afar for many years, might even say he was devotedvto her. He did not rush into things but supported Joan when she needed and they became closer and closer friends. Eve...

Re: Muslim Community

You better educate your children and let Muslim community educate their children according to their needs and demands, otherwise, Muslim children would be lost in western jungle. Well, if you live in a jungle seems a good idea to learn, and conform to, the rules of that jungle. Or live in a cage of...

Re: Science Disproves Evolution

Pahu, still curious as to why you have ignored my invitation here to discuss the Bell & McDairmid paper before moving on. (Clue: C&P-ing some long since superseded stuff on redshift does not constitute "discussion of the Bell & McDairmid paper") That subject is beyond my understanding. Pahu, Pahu -...

Re: Shaking Hands

I remember, in a dictor's durgery, being introduced to the very elderly mother of a Muslim acquaitance, "Ash", (I had helped him out with a computer problem) and, without thinking, I took her hand and hoped that her problem was minor. "Ash" raised his eyebrows and lent backwards, signs of considerab...

Re: Muslim Community

This is the main reason why I have been campaigning for state funded Muslim schools since early 70s. It is a crime against humanity to send children to state schools with non-Muslim teachers. She is the product of western education and she finds her self cut off from her cultural heritage. In my op...

Re: In or out?

No sensible country is going to sign any deal whose future validity relies on a totally uncertain outcome of future talks.

Only idiots would exoect it.

Ah, I see the problem.

Later: in this case who the hell knows what shape America will be by the end of the year. Probably not even the Americans!

Re: Muslim Community

Muslims must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different. There, fixed the bit that would fix the rest. I have suggested before, Iffy, if you do not like the way the West do things then emmigrate to a Muslim country. Or are Muslim countries too prescriptive, too oppressed, too strict, too...
