I wonder what would have happened if the plan to resettle the Jewish people in uganda(?) in the aftermath of WW2 had gone ahead. Not that anyone took it seriously at the time but throwing another group into what is at the moment a volitile mix would have been interesting I think. Anyone care to post...

Quoting exnihilo from 13:10, 24th Oct 2006 It is also depressing how little most people know about the history of the conflict and the situation. People should look into the following things for starters: 1) The old Mandate of Palestine, wnd what became of it (clue, most of it's now Jordan). 2) The...

Lets face it the people that post are either bored or those who really care about an issue. Thats the problem with an y sort of extreme opinion, its always so much more energetic and its always easier to be apathetic.

Wondered past last night and it wasn't a particularly impressive turnout, most people probably put off by the torrential rain. There were however a lot of police there. Can anyone tell me though what the socialists have to do with it all as there was a big banner saying socialists for solidarity whi...

Does anyone actually object to the confering of this honory degree.
I agree that it's none of NUS business but do any St Andrews students actually feel he shouldn't get it.

Apologies for not making myself clear. The bark story was designed to illustrate how I do not believe he is particularly well informed as almost any other leader would know that large military movements such as this would result in monitoring by satelite. Also if he is not playing with a full deck o...

One of the other ways to look at this is that they may only be 3% but they are the motivated 3%. Similar to the problem with Muslim or any other kind of extremism. If you believe passionatly about something you'll put more effort into it and achieve more.
Paul is the exception to this rule.

"-Due to popular request, fines have been increased."

I can believe this but I don't think it'll help. Late books are generally because people just couldn't get there, forgot or lost the book. Increasing fines isn't going to make much of a difference to these.

Quoting Malcolm from 23:01, 9th Oct 2006 Kim Jong-Il will never use nukes anyway. He's too intelligent and too well informed. The main concern is if he gets overthrown, and the crazies take over. It appears his power might be slipping slightly given what insiders say, there's less portraits of him ...

Quoting Malcolm from 12:05, 9th Oct 2006 I don't get this, it goes to show the narrow mindedness some people exhibit. So I'm going to say this once and for all. I've got bored with Scottish football, it's embarrassing. Outside of the Old Firm, there's very little in terms of quality, and practicall...

First of all this stuff about the English team playing better football than the scottish is irrelevant for two reasons. First when it comes to international football you support the team you support regardless of the quality of their play (as you could argue it should be with domestic football). Sec...

Quoting novium from 16:35, 6th Oct 2006 What its original purpose was and what it has been used for are two different things, don't you think? Search for its usage on religious threads, and then get back to me, ok? [hr] tamen ira procul absit, cum qua nihil recte fieri, nihil considerate potest. Wh...

Quoting novium from 08:40, 5th Oct 2006 Don't be silly. But I hate what it represents- the blatant disrespect of people of faith. Every time I have seen it brought up (ha,ha,ha) in any religious thread, it makes me angry. I do not mock atheists, nor any other belief, because they hold them. Especia...

Alldays are utterly ridiculous. Went in to buy alcohol one night and despite handing over a valid drivers liscence that said i was almost 21 they refused me. The reason, someone i was with only had three seperate pieces of documentation saying that they were over 18, none of which wasn't a drivers l...

At last a religion we can all get into.

Quoting exnihilo from 08:02, 25th Jul 2006 Quoting Nick82 from 02:57, 25th Jul 2006 I do find it interesting that almost all of this thread is about what Israel must do. No mention of what Hezbollah must do to achieve their aims. To my mind even though their aims are seemingly impossible they are a...

The Lebanese government holds a lot of swing over the political wing of Hezbollah, due to the fact that it is just a contributary party to the national assembly. Hez...

A radical solution but one that will never be tried. The problem as I see it is differentiating between Hezbollah and Lebannon. Does the Lebanese government have the ability to control/affect Hezbollah in anyway? Now I've never been to the region but the impression I get is that they don't. Much of ...

Anyone know how to change your username?
