Bernice: Oh yes there is in London. But London is a big city. Take a look at the rioting reported in Manchester on tv and you will see one rioter and about 5 police in full protective gear
Artful Dodger: Apparently over a man being shot by police. But belive me the riots are not happening everywhere. It was said via Facebook that there wasn riots up Hanley and Shelton tonight. I was in Shelton. And there were no riots. I caused more of a riot tonight down my local than there was anywhere else because the bar lady told me to relay on my mates to tell me when last orders was. And I said no. you know I am deaf, you are in charge, I do not relay on my hearing mates tom tell me, you should tell me lmbo! That was the most fighting in Stoke-on-Trent all night I bet!
Staffordshire Police We have spoken to hundreds of people tonight across the county about false rumours of disorder - Your local police are out on highly visible patrol speaking to members of our community, keeping them safe and informed.
The situation across the county is calm and officers are responding incidents and patrolling as normal.
Bernice: There has been some riots yes but nothing the police cannot deal with. Most of it is rumour spreading via facebook and not rioting on streets.
Tuesday: That is because they only tell you what they want you to know. For eg we were taught at school that when the French stormed the Bastille there were lots of political prisoners released but in fact that was not true. The truce was only a handful of people were actually imprisoned in the Bastille at the time. Its the same with the Patriot and even with BraveHeart not everything in those films are is true but make for better viewing figures and people would rather believe those versions.
Tuesday: It means an acceptance of all religions. "Live and let live" In other words does it really matter if they are christian or atheist as long as they respect others and are caring to other human beings? A very good thing that the children of the law of one believe. Imagine someone you know, and imagine a world filled with that same person. Would it be a caring world or a bad world? Would they harm others just because they are differnt or would they live and let live if that person is doing nothing to harm another human being regardless of their religious belief, sexual orientation, colour etc etc.
件名: Re:I have always believed that being created in his image meant we are all Gods. All one. And I believed that years before I read the children of the law of one.
(V): Am more than half way through it. My neighbour from down below(I am in upstairs flat he is underneath, very nice young man, lives on his own, name is Jason) told me about it and uploaded it to my laptop. I was surprised at how much my interpretation of "God" was the same before I had even read the book. Boring in places though, as it tends to repeat.
件名: Re:He created the people who choose what they will do. So ppl are evil by choice.

Artful Dodger: Oh I feel there is something out there or at least I hope so! I would hate to think that this is it but I dont think of it as a God as portrayed in the bible. That is why I am a Humanist and tend to "Do as the Romans do when in Rome"
件名: Re: Of course, believing in the unmoved mover, or a similar theistic view of the universe, is an act of faith. Nobody can prove scientifically that there was an "unmoved mover" or a god when the universe was created.

(V): I worked on what i supposed to be the oldest surviving testament of St John. Known as the the St John `s Fragment. Ancient tablets and palm leaves and even I am not convinced o the truth. That is why I am a Humanist. And I prolly seen ancient Bibles that most people will never ever see.
(V): There was a program on Tv the other week about it. The narrator who is gay himself went over to find out what it really was like to be gay in Uganda and everyone he spoke too really hated gays.
(V): That site is obvious very bias. No one mentioned the radio in her head and when you try to register to reply you have to finish off a Bible quotation. What the heck?
Übergeek 바둑이: Yes he did.It is a question if he were the son of God or a prophet. But he certainly did exist. Jesus was a well used name in those days so he certainly existed as a man.
件名: Re: More dishonesty from left. And only $20 allowed
Artful Dodger: All I can say is if anyone wants to believe that they will believe anything. More like rumour spreading. Surely most people would not believe it?
Artful Dodger:It is a bit silly arguing all over a chicken in the first place. It was prolly only looking for somewhere to lay its eggs so no one could take them.
Ferris Bueller:That is the trouble with our health system nowadays. The onus is on curing rather than preventing. In which case some illnesses are left until it is too late to cure or prevent it going any worse.
(V): It is a wonder they left it that long to ask for the money. I have only to go over a week late with the rent and there is a letter in the post. People who do things the right way are always the ones they demand money off first whereas people who do things the wrong way mostly seem to get left in peace. .
Bernice: . They are trying to change things here. The trouble is people who need the money are having it took off them or cant get it in the process. The system is certainly well up the creek without a paddle
What has happend to the hand held scanners over there? Dont they use them any more? They have been using them here for years. No need for touching just use the hand held scanner.
件名: Re:\i dont know. And how about the gov come into your home
Artful Dodger: Extremists use women and kids to do exactly that and protect themselves. How many times on the tv have you seen terrorists hiding behind women and kids. I know I have seen it many a time.
件名: Re:\i dont know. And how about the gov come into your home
Artful Dodger: That is silly. I am responsible for myself at home. When it comes to planting bombs then it is the airport,s responsibility to make it as safe as possible for the thousands that travel.
件名: Re: suggesting that more taxes will help the economy is lunacy.
(V): The rich should pay more. The poor paying the same as the rich is wrong. What is 2 and half to us is nothing to them. I do not understand the logic
