    Pressure grows for free vote on embryo research

    I AM. Well, I WAS, until the research budget was cut and I was put on the dole. These are NOT embryos. And I wish the catholic church would get their damn facts straight before mouthing off. NON GAMETE CELLS are taken from ANIMALS and the NUCLEI are REMOVED. NON-GAMETE CELLS ARE 'harvested'...

    Effects of the EU Expansion

    Er ... Not quite. Pop over to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Conquest" My (VIKING) ancestors on my father's side wandered into york and did a deal splitting the country into two about 600AD (I forget exactly when, and our family "historian" who told me all this when I was a kid is long...

    How many of you have had this spam hit you in PRIVATE MESSAGE?

    As others have said 'damn and there was i thinking i was someone special :2razz: ' I took a look from a machine that doesn't run a microshite operating system and therefore isn't quite as susceptible to 'viruses'. From what I can see it's just an attempt to get you to part with fifteen bucks...

    Would you have sex with a man to stop a terrorist attack?

    I guess that would depend on two things. Who's being 'mother' Who is calling this man a "terrorist" and who is calling him a "brave freedom fighter". Actually it would depend on whether he had a cute arse and firm muscular body as well. Because if he did I guess my daughters would beat me to it.

    How bad is Peak Oil?

    I'd like to make a couple of observations:- It was said earlier in this thread that "unlike in the 1940's coal can be burned with fewer emissions". Well I suppose if you mean we now understand how to capture the sulphur dioxide to stop widespread acid rain, I guess you're right. However this...

    Who do you support the Iraqi insurgency or U.S. and coalition forces?

    I wonder if you've ever considered the following :- 1) A very large number of brits were opposed to getting involved in this mess in the first place. And the fact that we were lied to to get us to go there is now widely known. You may have noticed we had a change of PM recently because the...

    UK: Credit auction for the cheatee

    Which bank were you trying to withdraw money from then. For those not in the UK, a quick summary of what's going on. Normally, banks and other financial institutions are more than happy to hand money to each other (at inter bank lending rates) to keep the wheels oiled and the money coming in...

    Long Haired Men and the Professional World:

    Amongst the organisations I sold my body to for various amounts of time was EDS (UK). A company FAMED for its "Professionals Generally Don't Wear Beards" attitude. It was an interesting time but I wouldn't go back. I'm beardless because (a) my wife couldn't stand the stubble (b) I couldn't...

    The EU constitution referendem

    I think the fact that a couple of people dug a beach near to the labour party conference up so that the words I WANT A REFERENDUM were visible about half a mile away was amusing. I think the fact that a MOUNTED POLICE TEAM was sent to erase that message from the beach in question speaks volumes...

    What would you do, if this were you?

    That depends on ... ... 1) if it were me standing that close to a nuke going off, I'd just about have time to think the first two words of the sentence "aw **** in a second or two a 140 mph wind and 6000 degree centigrade firestorm is going to rip my head off my neck and fry my eyes and nuts to...

    Would you vote for and atheist for President?

    Well, I suppose he has the right to try. Just as I have the right to close the door on him. The real question is whether he goes about beheading people who disagree with his religious stance. Had I for example decided to turn my back on Islam after declaring myself one of the faithful, I think...

    Do you believe Hillary is a lesbian?

    Maybe not the forum to express this opinion but what the hell .... In the early 1990's I worked for a company in the UK that was part of Hughes Aircraft. Some of the guys from the american parent organisation came over here to work alongside me on a particularly troublesome project. iIt was...

    Would you vote for and atheist for President?

    Very amusing. But having served on a jury in my country I have to tell you that those giving evidence after swearing an oath to tell the truth didn't seem to have any more integrity than those giving evidence after declaring a wish to affirm. And a quick poke around wikipedia shows me the text...
