And if Allah is all powerful, you'd think he'd be able to fix it. I'm not weak, I don't believe in God and I won't be going to heaven or indeed hell. My brain is run by electrical impulses, and when they go I am dead and everything I've experienced will be gone. Damn those nasty sciences for getting...

If we assume the best justice system is in the US, read about the voilations http://www.communityconnect.com/PressRoom/defender_121506.html http://newsroom.msu.edu/site/indexer/2172/content.htm http://www.gp.org/press/pr_2007_07_25.shtml Who said the US had the best legal system? It's widely regard...

I do not see anything wrong, say, with Hizbullah capturing the Israeli soldiers in South Lebanon last year. They are legitimate military targets generally, and the fact that thousands of lebanese are being held captive without trial makes the legitimacy quite specific. Sorry, which government does ...

scot1870

Oh and I should add I'm in no way pro-Israeli, equally Hizbullah is clearly not supportable either. It's the fact that both sides manage to be in the wrong that makes it so hard to find a solution.

What a hilarious bellend

Must remember to tell my dad I don't know who he is.

Could be worse he could be my brother too

Like many things, the British take the good things out of an event (the fireworks), it's not that we would be "celebrating" trying to kill a monarch. My British history, which may be a bit rusty and I can't be bothered Googling it, is that the UK had been a Catholic state less than 100 yea...

Hizbollah as I understand it are fighting for the freedom of Palestine, so why do they have such a force in a secular state like Lebanon?

French "resistance" - less than 30,000 people from a country of over 30m at the time, don't get me started on the war dodgers.

scot1870

The liberation of what? A secular democracy????? Yeah, those folks need saving. Oh, and if the fighters are 100% Lebanese my name is Mohammed. The French "resistance" have a romantic name in Europe, they did next to nothing to counter the German war effort and are irrelevant. They were ter...

Shafique, I know you grew up in the UK but you fail to grasp a saliant point - we're taking the piss!

The whole point of "celebrating" Guy Fawkes isn't to beat up on Catholics, it's to remind Parliament not to get too comfy.

scot1870

You are avoiding the question I asked - were the French resistance fighters 'terrorists' or wrong for carrying out attacks against the German Reich and Vichy Government (and not being an army). Is it really that hard to say 'no'? Much as I hate to support the French resistance, they did so in a tim...

Very well, let's disarm all countries then. As long as some are still producing and developing them others are perfectly justified in seeking nukes I agree disarm in principle, but the clear statment of nuclear capable countries it to use it as a deterrent. Apart from India, the nuclear countries o...

If Islam embraces science so much what has it contributed in the last 100 years? You could even make that 1000 years and it would still be a very small proportion of overall scientific evolution.

Its americans and Brits who created all these monsters all over the place to carry out their dirty politics. Actually, China and Russia have largely disseminated nuclear knowledge outside of NATO. The US has been behind Israel admittedly, but you also ignore it also has given much non-nuclear milit...

Pretty easy actually, you just phone IR and say you're leaving the country, they send you a form for opting out of the tax system and one for continuing NI and you pay between 9 and 12 pounds a month from an offshore bank account (not sure why it moves around, but then again we are talking about the...

I won't argue about Iran, what agenda do you think north korea had ? it already made a bomb but it didn't strike any one, actually it's going to disarm in exchange for the aid and incentives North Korea had what was widely described as a "nuclear fart", not a nuclear bomb. When it realise...

This is the truth admitted by the American themselves and even in 2001 ,some people had big question mark about what happened Just stick to Gulf News telling you what's really happening in the world... Ridiculous. Arabs flew planes in to 2 big towers, tell me where the doubt is? Someone last week s...

But what is shameful is that Islam is misinterrupted as group of fundamentalist riding camels or horses across the desert, in one hand theres a sword and in the other hand there is the quraan. To be honest, if that was the picture we had of Islamic Fundamentalists I wouldn't be worried. It's more t...

rudeboy, you live in a weird world. We know Arabs hijacked the planes as there were people on board who phoned to say what was happening (yup, that little TV remote on your Emirates flight also has another use)! There is footage of the people boarding the planes! All part of the conspiracy I'm sure....

The IRA were labelled terrorists. So were the UDA and UVF. And they fought against each other without so much as a Qu'ran in sight. Get over yourself. In schools we learn that Stalin's genocides were worse than Hitler's. We cover Tamil Tigers and other groups regularly in our newscasts (indeed, on a...

Pay it and shut it. If you're too fat or lazy to walk the extra little bit from a normal space then the fine will at least deprive you of a few KFC buckets and make you think about how selfish you are. For me, the biggest irony is it was during Ramadan when you're supposed to be aware of those more ...

I don't recall any baptism ever taking place in a toilet :lol: The Church has been going steadily downhill since Islam took over the globe. When I have wet feet, my feet get even more dirty as water makes dirt stick to my feet. And putting your feet on some of the bathroom floors after ritual flood...

As I say, media can be manipulated but if you read Western newspapers they ask a loooooooot of questions about what government does. For example, were Tony Blair (or now Gordon Brown) to allocate himself land that belongs to the country and sell it off for millions in real estate developments and ke...

What are you gibbering about man? It's not me that's killing people! It's probably just Christians with boot polish on creating a bad name for you Muslims (I'll let you keep that conspiracy theory).

scot1870

STOP GIBBERING MAN! It's not ME saying Muslims should kill others, the answer may be closer to home. I have no beef with 99% of Muslims, it's a peaceful religion, but the 1% give you a bad name. More than a bad name, they believe they can attack people anywhere in the world with religion as their ca...

The whole structure was weakened, partly by impact, largely by burning. Gravity did the rest. What's to explain?
