Interesting notion. But what makes the point relevant only to primitive societies? Unstable societies are the majority across the globe.

Sorry, Aponez. I didn't understand that at all. Would you mind going through it again?

Take a risk!

I tried Corona last night, and I retract my earlier comments. it is quite refreshing. Now then, on a more serious note, has anyone tried putting bacon in guinness?

Well, Tigs, I for one appreciate your long replies. It's cheaper than going to do philosophy at uni. Reading this it has occurred to me that there is also such a thing as scientific orthodoxy, and that it can be used as a force for evil, just as much as religion. Viz the scientific dialectic of marxism, or eugenics.

I think the inrushing sea should do that.

Whole steam-liners went missing.

A Turkey is not much worse qualified than the average Al Qaeda 'scholar'.

5.2 richter. I thought it was just me being over-tired. Unlike everyone else getting out of bed I went straight TO bed.

You should try Bringing Out the Dead. I think you'd like it and it's a class Nicholas Cage film. I just got back from watching Cloverfield. I'd like to be generous, because it tried to do a number of good things. 1. no sappy ending. 2. no explanations of the bigbad. 3. some nice destruction shots 4. Some really creative camera-work to make the best of a low budget But there were several things that went horribly wrong: 1. I was expecting to get tired of the camera work, but I felt really ill at several points. There was no need to have it ALL shot badly. In fact I thought it detracted from the drama of some points. 2. I loathed and despised all the characters except the cameraman. Particularly the spoiled rich kids. Mainly because... 3. Disaster movies are supposed to have panicky imbeciels in them. But define the entire film around panicky imbeciles? 4. Lessons learned: 1. If you live in Manhattan, you should practice evacuating the city at least once a week. 2. Ideally, when visiting Manhattan, carry an emergency radio, first aid kit, crowbar, and life vest AT ALL TIMES. 3.

Everyone Loves Raymond -> Atlantis.

If it was her on purpose I think it was a damned silly idea. Yes it will turn off a number of voters, but frankly they'd probably turn against him anyway. In the meantime she looks like she can't even play straight within her own party. I think being petty plays worse than doing a photo op.

Qwerty, I have to say I was alittle surprised to hear you're not even registered, but aftr reading the rest of your post I guess I understand a little better. I'll have to think on my comeback*. *Which means I intend to cheat and ask my learned friends for an argument.

Good man! Pleased to hear you got it.

Well, I doubt I'll ever like Miller Lite, but I've enjoyed a Rolling Rock on a hot day. I also enjoy quite a few American micro beers. It's great to see then making progress in the last few years against the big boys.

But shouldn't freedom for the individual include the option to believe in a God and a religion? This is an important step, which will attempt to remove anachronisms, and locally relevant (no-longer relevant) advice from the Quran, leaving ideally just the words of the prophet. This would be an excellent step in further marginalising extremists. Indeed, it is something which Christianity coud do worse than to consider. Last, but not least, I think it rather undermines the misperception that religions are uniformly square wheels in the machine of progress.

Feeling antsy, so went for another run. Don't normally go on consecutive days. Feels pretty good though.

I see what you mean. Seems like a damn good idea.

Gentlemen, let's not get snobby. If the beer is more refreshing with lemon in it, then let it be beer with lemon in it. After all, if we disallow that then I won't be allowed to put steak in the neck of my Newcastle Brown ale.

My sister made my parents promise not to buy meat. My brother and I went out and shot our own. Curiously, she was not happy.

And the rest was bickering...

For some reason i always had you pegged as a Bass drinker.

Muesli?

If that were true it would be awesome.
