Hello Mac! …and the top o’ the mornin’ to ye, sor! It’s bin a log toim – but it’s noice ta see dat yer Eurocentric attitood, mixed wid a tad o’ racial hatred is still hangin’ in dere …. So, mi boyo, let’s have a peek at yer post … No problem with that so far … simply facts. (Note how I have...

We are an incredibly literate race, Mac! :biggrin::hat: ?W????

Hi Mike! Truly – and with respect – I think you are being a little harsh on WickedOne.:clap: Please allow me to make a few comments to this post – which is, as you well know, ?gright up my alley?h ?c.. Did ?gEuropeans?h ?estart?f WWII? Or did Nazi Germany? – You really do have to distinguish...

Whilst I agree with your sentiment that smoking is totally ill-advised (I would never encourage it of anyone!) - I am a smoker.:blush: But we've had those cigarete packs in Canada for about ten years now .... .... didn't make a damn of a difference! They're considered a joke. ?W????

A most interesting theory. And one with much merit. ?cBut one which (as usual) begs as many questions as it offers answers! ?gConcrete?h, as we know it today, was certainly in use during the Roman period – indeed the Romans are usually credited with inventing it – and it may well have...

Now we know what's afoot .... ! One final word before I leave for ever ?c and gladly ?c.! WELL! Once Maciamo and his buddy, the ?gAnimal Rights Activist?h - y?eknow, the so-called ?gStrongvoicesforward?h (What a silly and naïve name ?c !) finally got together (in bed – for all I know!) it...

You cheeky bugger! ?W????

How the he11 did Boy George get on that list? ?W????

I had a similiar problem between Churchill and Sir Isaac Newton. Perhaps Newton actually was the best choice offered but not such a charismatic character in more recent history. The list could have been longer. But just think - old Isaac invented gravity! If it weren't for him ... we'd all...

Whoa! Whoa! I can't help smiling - but isn't the thread already indicating just how ridiculously naive it is to stereotype people by "race"? This is the global village folks! We're all (particularly us Westerners) mutts! Mongrels! Mixed up! Sabro is right, race is increasingly (although not...

REALLY (Is that an adjective .....? Or just a qualifier .... ? He11! Who cares ...?) BLOODY HANDSOME 'cause it's true! :biggrin: (Of course .. that's only my opinion.) ?W????

Oh God! ..... she's at it again! Has she proposed "the whips" yet? The high heeled fishing boots? ... The barbed wire garter belt ..... ? Take care, dear friend, take care! ?W????

What I want to know is ..... "What the he11 is my wife doing in your room!?!?!?!?" (I suppose she's just following one of her fans ...........) ?W????

Hmmm! Extremely good question. Hadn't thought about that one before. No, most that I am aware of seem to come from Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Jordan and Palestine. Haven't seen too many from the North African countries, except a few Egyptians, in Toronto. And, naturally, here on the West Coast we see...

An extremely good point, and a totally valid question. Perhaps we should propose it as an additional thread? Do you want to do it, or should I "fire it up"? Why not? I don't think "our" (American/Canadian) Muslims are any different to yours. They all come from the same place! There you go...

Sabro, my friend (I hope!) Surely, science is not equipped to deal with the "meaning of life" because that is not part of its mandate? Is there a meaning to life? Or is that merely a subjective desire of humanity? Is there a meaning to life? If so what is it? Does it matter? After all - we...

Hmmm?c. Sorry, but my initial reaction is, on balance, ?gWhy should they??h I always find it quite curious – the world?fs attitude to the United States, that is. The U.S. is (perhaps questionably, today) the most powerful nation on Earth, and indisputably the most influential ?c be that...

Ah! Yes! Shakespearian quotes! Always good! Had an engineer friend once; he bought a house next to one that was owned by some pretty pretentious neighbors. They had named their home "Perchance to Dream" It caused his wife a lot of hard work to prevent him (he said) from naming their own home...

And as a postscript .... In the case of a 'suicide bomber' - how can he/she not guarantee that, when they reach "the other side" - they're not gonna be met by a couple of dozen of their erstwhile victims, all rolling up their sleeves, and saying: "OK! We're all dead now! You can't die twice...

I have always found it quite bizarre to observe one constant that seems to play in almost every religion. That ?gdeath?h should be revered as merely a passing from one state of consciousness to a (probably) superior one – and therefore something to be almost invited and welcomed as an ultimate...
