    Who the **** is Tru?

    Wouldn’t death, as the ultimate unknown, also be considered a touch uncertain? ;)

    Are you satisfied?

    Not for that long, just like everyone else. Even the most well known people in the world are history within a few generations. I don’t think this is a bad thing at all; it just provides further impetus to enjoy the short time we have here and help other people to do the same. That’s the only...

    Gordon Brown - yeh or ney

    One of the most interesting commentaries I’ve read relating to Blair and Brown was a suggestion that the ‘Granita’ affair was the biggest mistake of Tony Blair’s career as PM. It has meant Brown has been the ‘man in waiting’ for a decade; he has had to be kept satisfied as PM-to-be through...

    statments

    If nothing else I think it is very rude of them. I would also be surprised if they weren’t at least on thin ice legally – possibly in their relationship with you as your employer – by releasing something they had said would be confidential without your consent.

    statments

    This is very much an ‘out-there’ thought; I have no familiarity with the law involved whatsoever. However, might it be possible for the statement you have made to be considered data so that it would fall under Data Protection legislation? As such requiring your consent prior to be transmitted...

    Evangelist Preacher Attempts to Walk on Water but Drowns

    <pedant>The phrase is 'damp squib'; a form of firework/explosive (ergo the let down wrought by it not lighting through being damp).</pedant> :p

    How Britain is turning Christianity into a crime..

    Why? So an omnipotent God could create playthings to facilitate his own want to be loved by them? Only, despite their paths being predetermined, to reject them if they reject him? To damn them to eternal pain, of his creation, because once given free will they have not elected to love him...

    http://www.snopes.com/religion/einstein.asp Variation on a theme. If you want a good straw man fallacy to defend religion, wheel in an atheist professor.

    i've just been hit by a car

    Granted, and I was reading the Highway Code only this afternoon! There are times when the lights are changing when you might be on your way through when it goes to red, although in such circumstances you’re probably going too fast anyway… so ... :p Seek; that wasn’t an “it’s your fault”...

    i've just been hit by a car

    The red light is a signal for traffic to stop (if doing so would not cause an accident), not a signal for you to go. You should still pay attention to the road even you are at a designated crossing. Not saying they were in the right (clearly not), but you should be more careful.

    How Britain is turning Christianity into a crime..

    The article is quite comical in terms of what it states; the man who was arrested was just being a pain in the arse (at a ‘gay rally’, no less*). However, the topic is an interesting one. It does seem the case that the UK is moving away from Christianity (broadly moving away from organised...

    Yes… but not necessarily take what you were reading seriously? ;)

    Banksy targets Paris Hilton

    Don’t be soft – I thought you had at least a couple of skin cells to rub together. ;) That was a joke, not a personal attack.* Although arguably your reaction was? ;) My point was that ‘art’ is a very subjective term. Banksy considers his work art as do critics. F4J have never set out to...

    Banksy targets Paris Hilton

    Don't be a nobber, art's an incredibly subjective term; next you’ll be arguing Pluto’s not a planet. :rolleyes:

    Banksy targets Paris Hilton

    She’s put herself in a position to be judged, to be ridiculed, to have all of this done to her because she has decided that is how she will make her money – by putting herself actively in the public sphere. It’s the same (albeit for different purposes) burden accepted by politicians when they...

    Banksy targets Paris Hilton

    Yes, but why do they offend you? What is it about them you find offensive?

    Banksy targets Paris Hilton

    What it is that makes him a nobber and her not! Sheesh, I was looking to encourage discussion, not pull your teeth. :p

    Banksy targets Paris Hilton

    You say he's a nobber and you don't mind her. There's your context (as you've set it up). Care to elaborate? :p

    Further, Gilbot, in what way is he any more of a nobber than Ms. Hilton?
