Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

Oh . . . and if the sock fits . . .
There's little point in checking your messages, Starman - I think we've only exchanged one or two, and then we talked about scientific discoveries. The point I was making is how can you hope that anyone will understand where you're coming from if they have no idea where you are, where you're going, or where you've been?

This observation from me was just that - an observation. The sock is now firmly back in place.
Good grief... I come on here for light hearted banter as my wits and I are about as far apart as you can get and it's all serious. I'm back to the hole that is my life at the moment!

. . . pssst . . . China . . . over here . . . I know just how you feel
Aw, that's not nice, Starman. I'm off to lick my wounds. Meow!!

What's up China?




My father lived in abject poverty, went to school in bare feet, joined the army as a boy soldier age 14, went to the far east in approx 1934, fought in the second world war in Malaysia, taken prisoner by the Japanese and worked on the Burma Railway, and weighed five and a half stone at wars end.
Then he was a fireman, then a merchant seaman for six years.
When he spoke, he spoke with knowledge and authority as his listeners knew the paradigm. He was not a ***********!
That is why it is important that we try to some extent to display our credentials before offering our opinions.
When Naomi talks about social issues, I sit up and take notice, because she has been there and got the tee shirt!
Her views are more valid.
So Mibs, keep your cloak on if you wish, but it wouls be more authoritative and informative if you dropped your kecks now and again!
The asterisks were to shield you from, "bull$hitter"
I am off work and had to go to the hospital with breathing difficulties. Back in on Monday i hope. Mrs T wants me to pack it all in, but no can do, it is who and what I am.
Obama? Oh gosh! He's gonna make a mess of a terrible mess! God help us!
A Scouse couple buy some sweets on the way to the cinema. Going in, there's a notice, to say customers may be searched for sweets, as only sweets bought on the premises may be consumed.
She hides them down her knickers and they go in.
After the film, he tells her he was so engrossed in the movie, he forgot about the sweets and could he have some.
She explains that they are gone!
"t was that feller sitting next me, he kept putting his hand down my knickers!"

What? You let a complete stranger put his hand down your knickers?

Well I didn't know he was a thief did I?
Hope to be back soon, but I don't get on often.
Hey Luna, ever thought of going to the pub and just chilling out with complete strangers? Beer and bars are tremendous therapy for lifes ills and far more effective and fun than introversion and doctors. I feel great in pub bars, and never want to leave!
When I do, I take Citalopram!
China, the Shoe Queen, how's the housae hunting going?
Any advice on sore dangly bits from month old cycle traumas?
Don't say Elastoplast!
China, with you in the medical profession, and me a suffere of Crohns disease, (disease? Yuck! Bell! Leper!), anyway, we shouls team up and found the, "British Bowel Movement!"
With a catchy title like that, and �20 subscriptions, we could clean up! Literally!
Naomi, Mibs, and Luna could become affiliated members, for a reduced fee, and we couuld have seminars on all things bowel orientated, with guest speakers such as George W. Bush who is now looking for a job, and has the added advantage of being full of $hit!
Naomi could run the administration and print business cards, Mibs could offer free proctology advice, and Luna could provide music in the waiting room!
We could have it cracked gal!
My next projects include an, "Itchy Bum Clinic," and a, "Fetish Festival," for men who like to keep their socks on! (Think of the sock sales!)
I'm going for a quick play on some of the other topics, as nobody is up and about except Starman, who probably was up early to get the milk in, and popped in to award merits, bless him.
Theland, sending Luna to the pub? Not the best advice, in my humble opinion. Bad choice - sorry.

You still smoking, Theland? How long are you off work for?

Why do you think Obama will make more of a mess than they're already in?

The Bowel Brigade? Sounds fascinating. One of your better ideas, I'd say. Well, different, at least!
Question Author
Theland, My father was also a 'survivor' of WWII, a war that on many fronts grew out of the consequences of the shallow distinction of 'racial superiority'. He was the last one out alive from a burning plane shot down over Germany where he spent the rest of the war recovering from severe and disfiguring burns in a prisoner of war camp.

Wars, no matter how justified or unjust have a root cause that never follows from a rational regard for reality. Where reason is abandoned in support of an unreasonable ideal the only option left is the mindless use of force and violence in a vane attempt to refashion reality to conform to ones whims.

Wars are fought and won by brave soldiers who are among the finest examples of humanity who recognise that the use of force is only justified as a response to the initiation of force by those who have abandoned reason as the only just means to determine what is right and what actions are justified.

My father provided me with living proof that hell does exist and that it is a place on Earth created by those who have abandoned reason and therefore are no longer entitled to be defined or treated as human. Humanity is a race of beings who's survival and well-being depends on the proper and unfailing use of reason, not clubs, for their continued existence. To discount the virtues of reason is to deny oneself of any right to the benefits provided by those who have fought and died defending your freedom to live by it while seeing to it that reason prevailed.
Question Author
It�s a shame that some of us have to be provided with such graphic lessons in order to see first hand the consequences of abnegating reason. It is inexcusable and unforgivable that once presented with such evidence one continues to ignore and rightfully becomes a victim of their own evasion in spite of the hopes that have driven those to be victorious over such blind stupidity.

The sad sad truth and the dirty low down is that no war would ever have been any more necessary then the desire to think through and learn in advance of the lesson what the lesson must ultimately teach us.

Have a nice day . . . what�s left of it.
Beautifully said, Starman ...... but, with the sentence copied below, I'm not sure whether you are referring to your own childhood experiences at the hands of those who abandoned reason, or to those who cause others to enter into conflict . Additionally, how you would wish to see those who abandon reason, treated?

hell does exist and that it is a place on Earth created by those who have abandoned reason and therefore are no longer entitled to be defined or treated as human

For the record, my father was also a WWII survivor - a Desert Rat.

(China, if you're popping in shortly all I can say is 'oops'!! Caught in the act!!).

There! You've done it Mibs! Now I know that your views are at least partially coloured by the horrific experiences of your father in WW2, not some stranger in a history book.
Similarly, Naomi knows from the experiences of her father, (and probably her mother on the home front), true horror and hardship. Therefore, her views carry more validity, as do yours, once a little is known about your roots and background.
I am truly saddened to learn of your fathers' experiences, just another anonymous paragraph in the history books to some, but so, so much more than that to his nearest and dearest.
Thank you for that Mibs.
