It is surely a consequence of enforced "harmony", that is, homogeneity; when countries like Romania, which have much more lax standards of hygeine and accountability, are treated with the same degree...

Haha, this is brilliant, Mod, in many ways. As a fellow Aquarian, perhaps I ought to try some radium-containing water, though maybe a little less than the Curies :D

If there's any relationship at all, it's the other way around: people don't mind putting in the effort to mine it because it is held to be precious. It's the same with oil, which is precious because...

i had to look a bit deeper into this.

(they are one offs. you cant get my ferrets anywhere...

In isolation, everything is worthless. Worth is in the general and literal sense a value judgement, and as such requires both a valued thing and valuer (which may be the same). Things valued for...

Greer? Really? I hope when he's dissecting the body he doesn't slip and ruin his last remaining shred of credibility.

After how many goose chases, people think it sounds fun when he offers a...

Oh please, that woman looks nothing like Kerry Cassidy. I could trall the net and find somebody who looks like me and claim it's proof I've been cloned as part of my work with, oh, I don't know, the...

Many people rail against the Catholic idea of original sin...

What bullies. I am past angry now, it is just utterly exasperating.

The certain rarely feel the need to be so dogmatic, vociferous and forceful. Very often, the most enflamed are trying to assuage their own doubts.

Those claims would be right up there with "arrests imminent, I pinky promise" then :D

This has been a great outpouring of grief, but grief is only possible where love exists. Grief is a consequence of love, but not a replacement. Jorr meant a great deal to a great many, and the length...
