I can�t remember as a kid growing up in the suburbs, ever getting involved in a really serious fight. By fight I mean squaring up to another kid and trying to inflict pain upon him by altering the shape of his nose or knocking out a tooth or two. In fact I fought more with my sisters, all of them older and stronger than me and they beat me up on a regular basis.

I did get kicked in the nose once � by the youngest of my sisters Pamela. I think I was twelve � she was sixteen and... [Read More]

The recent tragic deaths on Mount Everest must surely once again raise the age old question: �Why do it?� George Mallory who died on Everest many years ago made the now famous answer: "Because it is there."

However over 250 people have died �because its there� and most of their bodies are still on the mountain, some even used today as macabre �signposts.� Most of the deaths have been in the aptly named �death zone� which is above 26,000 feet where the oxygen level is... [Read More]

God is a good judge! You joke. Right?

1Peter 1:20 0 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

The above quote shows this as Gods first actual judgement and shows the setting and accepting of a bribe or human sacrifice to corrupt his justice. That justice usually stated that only the punishment of the guilty was acceptable to justice and that it would be unjust to punish the innocent. That corruption of his... [Read More]

Did anyone see this last night?

to this wonderful portrayal of Britain's most... [Read More]

"Manchester United to SACK David Moyes." from Mirror online.

Just had to happen I guess. Following Goliath was always gonna be a tough, almost impossible task for a manager like David Moyes.

Well its an "ill wind" and all that because the team I follow, Everton, are going from strength to strength under Roberto Martinez.

However I must say I was disappointed by the Goodison fans treatment of Moyes.

I have decided to erase this post via the edit mode because I have some serious lower back pain caused by sitting at a Sushi carousel waiting for stuff to pass me by. Droid opposite me built like a Sumo wrestler scoffed all the best before it came my way. That and people who hear but do not listen & look but do not see.

As per usual. So maybe I better post something controversial to get things going.

So here's something. There are threads on all sorts of stuff on links that appear on other sites. Wow awesome ... not. There are threads on race horses ... and that is like that ... end of story..

The story of Christ's sacrifice for our sins is simply illogical, even if it were possible.
The Jews believed (still believe??) that if one sinned, one was to present a sacrifice to God in order to receive forgiveness. Christ, the Son of God, came to Earth as a human to be sacrifice to end all sacrifices, forgiving us of all sins, present and future.

But Jesus IS God. God sent his son as a sacrifice. That would be like a kid owing Dad $10, the dad giving the kid $10 bucks... [Read More]

The city of Portland, Oregon, has been forced to dump millions of gallons of drinking water. Why?

Because someone urinated into a water reservoir.

It is an open reservoir, birds fly over it, animals pass by possible die in it, but on the chance that one person peed into it, they are going to 'waste' a 50 million gallons?

I would happily... [Read More]
