STORY HERE I'm absolutely stunned by this meeting . I still don't think that Kung will be able teach Catholic theology again (he shouldn't in my view), but it goes to show that this is a Pope of surprises. For those who don't know the background and who can't be bothered to trawl through the...

I'm not sure that high prices automatically equate to a well-used public transport system. We have - as you can see - high prices here yet are pretty-much as car-dependent as Americans. Cross the English Channel to the Eurozone where fuel is taxed less heavily than in the UK and where prices are...

I didn't even know there was a difference!

Going on £1 per l, 1 gallon=4.54l, and £1=$1.80

Actually in the UK you're talking more like $8 a gallon

Re the OP: welcome to the UK!

I don't see anything intrinsically wrong with the concept of producing a reduced Bible for quick reading. It's been done before, for example Walter Wangerins Book of God which put the Bible in the form of a novel (admittedly, it took me a wee bit more than 100 minutes to read that). Of course...

The world is a far poorer place without him. We need more like him...

Sorry, Keith, but you won't find much pro-loyalist advocacy from me at the moment as most people on mainland Britain are fed up to the backteeth with them; you summed up the situation admirably. Another way of putting it would be allowing the KKK to march through Harlem with police protection...

Yes. While the poor, mostly black, residents of New Orleans are stuffed first into the Superdome and Convention Center, then shipped hither and yon across the U.S. South, the wealthy of New Orleans are taking charge. In a front page article in the Wall Street Journal last Thursday (Sept. 8)...

Given that Robertson has attempted to solicit the commission of a criminal offence, it is entirely right and proper that he be banned, both in Finland and elsewhere, in exactly the same way that those sponsoring Islamic terrorism should not be given any airtime.

Hasn't anyone wondered why these folks seem to be so well-versed in the lesbian and gay social scene calendar compar3ed to the rest of us? I think we should be told.... :eek:

Thanks but no thanks! 'Dr No' is enough for me and I'm thankful that even he is separated from me by a bit of water.

Pat Robertson is an amateur compared to this Shanks guy. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the...

Roger, please see my penultimate post on the 'Failure of government' thread in the Politics Forum - you will see that I'm wondering the same thing; how can the richest nation on earth be producing scenes and a response more reminiscent of the Third World??? [ETA - interesting:- Letter in...

Is New Orleans finished as a city after 287 years?

OK, fair point - conceded!

So explain the reference to 'looting' for blacks and 'finding' for whites.

Yeah, but why then just leave them there? And wouldn't it have been better to have used the buses to transport people out of town instead of right into the middle of things (that way you save the people AND the buses)?

Bah...not all the links I put up seem to work - that's Yahoo for you! Basically, though, the first three were of black individuals removing goods from stores and called 'looters' and the last one was of a white couple holding a loaf of bread which the article said they had 'found' from a grocery...
