I do take your point rebelcowboysnb, it is very hard though to read some of the bigoted statements without comment. Less conflict more cohesion I say.

Why is it assumed by some people that Christians do not believe in the theory of evolution? I am an Anglican and believe in Darwin's theory. Evolution is taught in schools here and frankly I feel it would be disgraceful to teach anything else. Why do people see any conflict in the theory of...

I would give up if I were you thaiturkey. As one contributor so rightly said, you will never convince certain people to take the opposing view, no matter how compelling the evidence. For many the ownership of a gun is a safety issue. They don't see the tragedy of living in a society where it is...

Does anyone believe that the owning and carrying of either a hand gun or a semi automatic weapon, esculates violence? You hit me so I pick up a stick. You pick up a bigger stick etc. Surely, this is the same argument as against nuclear proliferation? I am confused as to what the job of the...

I always believed that it was the job of the police to uphold the law. Therefore if a crime is being committed, such as a house breaking, the police do have the responsibility to respond in sufficient time to hopefully catch the intruders in the act. Isn't that what the rapid response until...

The fact that someone's home was being broken into and it took 45 minutes for the police to arrive, doesn't argue the case for guns but the case for better policing!

All I can say about the single mother living on benefits, is that if she can save £2000 out of an annual budget of £15,500 she must be very clever with money! As for the gun laws debate I say this. Never believe that laws can't be changed and that you will always have the same rights as your...

The reason I mentioned her age is because I think the homework is quite searching for a child of this age and would be more the sort that would be given to say a 15 year old. This is only the beginning of her second year in high school. I am all in favour of stretching children and having worked...

My great niece had the following homework: 'Write a critique on the work of Kenneth Brannah in 'Much ado about nothing', both as the director and principle actor in the play. Discuss the Globe Theatre remembering to describe it as it was in Shakespearean times. Include the role of theatre and...

Yesterday the Chancellor made his autumn budget statement. He promised us we were in for another five years of austerity. He said that during the next three years all forms of social security/ unemployment benefit and tax credits would only rise by 1%, per year, regardless of the rate of...

I agree about the water tank on the roof. When we camped, back in the day, we had a rubberised pouch that was attached to a hose and shower head. Hanging it up in the full sun meant that by mid afternoon it was hot enough to shower with. Refills heated up quickly too. Now that's my kind of...

Fair point well made chickenRdinos and thaiturkey.

To understand the origins of categorising the 'poor' you need to go back in time to the Elizabethen England of the 1580s. Here the poor, with no visible means of support were beggars, since they were obliged to beg for alms. There were several categories of poor but most notable the 'sturdy...

We have just this weekend had a telefon to raise money for 'Children in Need' in this country. It is hard to stomach that in this twenty first century, we have children who sleep on the floor, covered with coats as they have insufficient blankets, and go to school hungry. I have worked in...

This is interesting talk rufus. People may think that it could never happen but they only have to look to Europe to see how the map can be reshaped. Many countries in the former soviet block are once again independent nations. They haven't even got half decent economies to help them. Look also...
