Ok this one's for those in the badlands - does anyone know what the fucking car/bus/lorry/whatever is that sounds its horn at approximately 9am every weekday? Whoever it is just presses the horn and keeps pressing it for about 5-10 seconds. I heard it again today at 3.10pm. Never enough to wake me u...
Just kinda sums up the whole Guantanmo bay thing: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/01/31/opinion/courtwatch/main670659.shtml The presiding tribunal officer accuses Idr of associating "with a known Al Qaeda operative." The detainee says, reasonably enough: "Give me his name." The tribunal presiden...

I remember one of the best arguments I heard for abortion was in my 1st year philosophy - can't remember for the life of me who the lecturer was but it was a different course from what's available now. Basically the argument ran that a foetus is reliant on the mother for everything, at least up unti...
Oi - I have less time on my hands now than when I was at uni :-p I do want to give this a try but what I really really want to do is eventually have some way of visualising the results - family tree style. I'm not sure access has such a function (does it?) [hr]http://www.greebo.org.uk - Loadsa drunk...
Side issue: People who are for the illegalisation of abortion should not, in the press etc, be labeled as 'pro-life', because by default the people who oppose them are implied as being 'anti-life'. The labels should center around choice - whether one is pro-choice or not. I would consider myself 'pr...
Hehe about 4 years ago (my first year) a friend and I started STA - though we were playing TFC at the time. Was a clan of 2 and it never grew bigger than that cos we went and joined another clan.
Fun times

There's risks of tidal damage round by the castle - the rock is being worn away and the castle could fall in if they didn't do the defense they have there.

I know - let's start again cos this is just going to end up as a discussion as to what things mean. Please define God as you think is represented by the bible, including defining the limitations of the various omnis. Also include which parts of the bible you consider valid, and specifically the bits...
Oooohhh that was a good answer. (no I'm not being sarcastic - that really was a bloody good response!) I have 2 problems with it that are completely separate of each other. The first is with God and time. I've always presumed that the Christian God is outside of time. The reason for this is that app...
As I tacked on at the end of my post - it's not the main reason for my lack of belief - lack of evidence is. But it is a reason why I think the christian god is a logical impossibility. What you're saying though is that God doesn't know everything - well fair enough but I don't think he can come und...
