@skeeter1 " Where's the exact waiver that the person signs?"

difficult to sign a waiver when you are minutes away from bleeding out - this is in the first few sentences of the article.

this technique will be used without advance permission on patients who are almost certainly dead with current conventional therapies.

people in the area are being offered an opt-out bracelet.

what a nasty scumbag - organised religions of this type allow these control freak psychos to do their worst to vulnerable children and adults

the sooner the Charity Commission sees through their bullshit the better

so glad me and my immediate family are out.

fusion with god natural .

in the cosmos universe or whatever.

all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

Matthew Powner- Advanced research on the Origin of life. How credible is he?

by KateWild in

i have come to the conclusion that science cannot prove or disprove the existence of god.

however the scientific evidence available is compelling enough for me to believe that a creator is responsible for life on earth.. i have read much about powner and understand the work he is doing.

i am interested in your views as to his credibility.

if its a decent pub in central London - otherwise, no :-)

come on people - this is really simple

believers believe because they want to - and then torture selected facts to appear rational

a-believers haven't seen evidence to support any god or god-type concept

One of my beliefs (without evidence) is that its a futile discussion.

JW refuses to provide wedding stationery to Gay couple

by KateWild in

i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.

i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.

i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.

sleep with any consenting adult you want mr hhomo :-)

BTW - your username has a stutter...not discriminating, just saying..

Whatever happened to Marvin Shilmer?

by MrMonroe in

"marvin", who i understand is a pseudonym, has an excellent blog whose most recent post was last september.

his most recent contribution to wikipedia, where he made very valuable contributions, was march 2013.. i have emailed him wondering if he's ok, but haven't had a response.

anyone know if he's ok or what the deal is?.

I felt he didn't really understand how to make forums like this work for him.

European Champions League Final

by cofty in

the best game of the whole football year is almost always the champions league final.. it's on tv live right now and this year both finalists are from madrid.. real madrid v athletico madrid.. the talent on show for the next 90 minutes is stunning.. diego costa has been subbed already - hamstring.. if you can't get the game in your country you can follow the updates here....

besty

the problem i have with European CL football is the financial fair play aspect - its highly improbable for a non-Big 5 based team to win the CL - here they are for the last 30 years - 5 smaller country teams have managed it.
