What are you smoking? Are you intentionally misreading everything I type, or is that just a convenient accident? The golden rule does not govern how other people behave. It governs how you behave. I means "Treat others how you would like to be treated." I wouldn't like to be robbed or killed, so I don't rob or kill others. I don't like to be lied to, so I don't lie to others. If they don't follow the same rule, then that's their decision, not mine. Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)

And for women, sex tends to get better over time - after a couple has been together about 15 years. Obviously this isn't true for men, but if this weren't the case for at least half the couple (women), would they still be together that long?

Random trivia: Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the forbidden fruit is an apple. In Latin, the word "malum" is ambiguous, it can mean both "an evil"(or sin) and "an apple". So because of this coincidence, it's assumed that the forbidden fruit is an apple. Unfortunately, the original tale is written in Hebrew and it's origins are probably even a lot older. Some speculate that it is about the first human tribe, forced to become nomads after they learned how to conquer the food chain, told from one generation to an other for thousands of years. *taa taaaa taaaaaa...

My first CP name was my own. Luckily, I came to my senses awhile back. FWIW, you can change your name I believe, but unless you also go back and delete every post you made under your original name, your account will still point to all of them.

Simple, put small wheels on the shed. Instantly it is not a permenant structure. :) ============================== Nothing to say.

Whilst I find the various revalations both appalling and disturbing, what I find interesting is the slow drip feed we're getting about these 'stories' with each one being seemingly more appalling than the one before. Given the fairly consistent and ongoing bad press we've had about our politicians and police force(s), (i.e., expenses scandal, Ian Tomlinson etc.), in recent times I do have to wonder how much of this is a fairly open demonstration to the british media by the 'establishment' that if they don't toe the line, and start doing so pretty sharpish, they too can get pretty much shredded. Now where did I leave that shiney tin foil hat?... Rhys "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees"

Initially, they needed a full dose of sympathy and a tiny drop of real hard effort to reconstruct. It's not as if they've got over the hardships of having their lives turned up side down, but I think they've done the first round through the cycles of emotions. It's probably about time they started picking themselves off the floor with every help they can get from the rest of us. But, to put it bluntly, the survivors of the disaster will voice their thoughts if ever there is something to get angry about (who would blame them?). It's far more constructive to have someone that doesn't get shot down every time he opens his mouth. That way he is more likely to get the people to gather around him and support his efforts. The way he's gone about it, even if he came up with the best resolutions for the crisis, the likelihood would have been that the people wouldn't listen. Well, let's see if the new guy is any better. I sincerely hope he does a decent job.:rose: Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...
