    Quite irritating he was with his sermons, dull prose and bad style. Never a good writer. Nevertheless, RIP.

    I've always enjoyed his work, however I have only read someone elses translation of his books. Being unable to read Russia I couldn't comment on his prose or style.

    I can't read Russia either. Or France for that matter.

    '...dull prose and bad style. Never a good writer.'

     

    Could of course be said about me.

    To my way of thinking, it is not immoral to allow law abiding citizens to defend themselves from criminals. Maybe you believe it would be more moral to condemn them to be helpless victims?

     

    Well you've convinced me. I now fully support Iran, North Korea, Cuba and any other country having a nuclear bomb. Especially a small, easily hidden one.

     

    What this has got to do with football I don't know, but since we're going off topic I thought I'd chip in :lol: .

     

    Thanks Dave. It's always comforting to know that common sense or rational thought don't need to be part of an argument. A backhanded slap at the US will always suffice.

    No, thank you Deadsox, I couldn't have put it better myself.

     

    Unfortunately, because of this, the US gun laws will remain unchanged and the 'War on Terror' will continue.

     

    Given the colossal error of invading Iraq, the war on terror is an easy target. But if you mean to imply that there is no danger from radical Islam, you are sadly mistaken and I sincerely hope for the sake of you and your family that you never see the consequences of your mistake. Yes, the US gun laws will remain basically unchanged, but that is fortunate.

    While I do not believe in the concept of the 'golden age of DL', or anything for that matter, I do miss the old day-time crowd.

     

    Lady Di and SttG would post something about animals. Josco, Baldrick, or Gunjaman5000, would post something amusing, while Vilebody and Anubis would post something rude.

    I find myself with more time during the summer months, when I am a pool-boy, wine taster, and bikini inspector, so my posting habits are not 'work or home', but seasonally effected. A bit like Monty Don.

     

    Things are quiet on here at the moment. Perhaps it has something to do with the credit crunch?

    I remember some discussion about names in Room 101, and I was tempted to put this in Room Lovely, but calling a child Violence is not right. Perhaps our member from New Zealand has joined in this craze? We have recently had some fantastic guests (in the stumbling around together at wine tastings sense of the word) from New Zealand, who dispite tracing their ancestry to England had chosen to call their sons by, in their words, 'ancient Scottish names'. A part of me still thinks, why not?

     

    Fish and Chips :crossbone:, I wonder what they call their goldfish?

    Can I take this valuable opportunity to type the words 'Slobberdown Mycockyabitch'.

     

    Thank you.

    No. Thank you.

     

    I've got to go to SttG's parents house for dinner, so I'll be sure to use it when discussion turns to Slobodan. I often bring up war criminals when I go there for dinner, but then, her cooking is awful.

    Andy, just tell yourself that god is allowing you to see Deathlist as a sin because you just aren't cool enough for it.

     

    I usually try and think of religion as a philosophy for happiness since most human beings aren't capeable of living happy without a standard rule book. If none of you realize it now you have to realize that most religion is a lot more about culture then it is about peace. The goal is to have people "believe themselves to be equal" and see humanity "as one" instead of fighting over who is and who isn't the real god. I like to think we all have a god in ourselves.

    To be serious for a moment. The French philosopher, Patrick Hernandez, once said, 'We were born, (born, born, born) to be alive.' I think we can all take something from this.

     

    You don't need a god, just 'a suitcase and an old guitar and something new to occupy my mind (mind, mind)'. :)

    I don't think I like the tone of your euphamism there LFN. Men who 'walk their dogs' are more likely to discover dead bodies in the undergrowth rather than indulge in any sort of al-fresco bummery.

     

    I did hear that Studland Bay was popular with men who "walked their dogs".

    Pooka, dear chap, could you confirm this?

    Regards

    LFN

    Hmm.

    I only asked because Im sure I read somewhere that this spot was a prime location for bonking couples to be "observed" by men ( who, purely by chance, were coming from miles around to walk their dogs).

    I do appologise if I gave the impression that men only went there to practice the ancient art of fudge packing.

    Nothing to do with the practice, like Richard Gere, of sticking a dog up your fundament then. Or was it Germaine Greer and a ferret?

    Sod all of that.

    Its Tribal, pure and simple.

    I detest the Gooners, the Gooners detest the Yids

    Saints hate Pompey, Pompey hates the Saints.

    Liverpool hates Everton

    Everton Hates Liverpool

    etc, etc, etc

    If the Gooners and us Yids were not from the same city, Id hate whatever city they came from.

    Inter town, village and city rivalry has existed for centuries and beyond.

    Its nothing new.

    Not wishing to justify hooliganism, but perhaps these rivalries fulfill a human need for a sense of community, 'them and us', with the added spice of risk taking.

    A wise man (a Rabbi I think) once wrote, 'We didn't have the bulls of Pamplona, but once a year, we had the North Bank Highbury'.

     

    It could of course just be an excuse for a punch-up. I wish we could all just be friends. :huh:
