"Born-Again Christian" co-worker's Anti-Semetic comment distirbs me.

i was having a very interesting conversation with a co-worker that is a "born-again christian" and is a very nice guy.

he is very hard-working and everybody loves him to death.

one reason i like him so much is because he lives the role of a christian and not just "announce" every 5 minutes that he is born-again like alot of christians i know.

Yes, I have read Mein Kampf and it bored me to death. So even to this day, Hitler is still killing people.

Is this petty? An argument with the neighbours

i'd like to ask you all whether or not you think that we are being petty here.

the house next door to us has been empty for a while now.

the last person to use it was a chinese doctor who used to house illegal immigrants which looked after his little cannabis factory.

I like the idea of buying the house and booting them out. AND I have always fancied learning Russian. Neither are going to happen, but the weird game sounds fun ;)

How much of a man are you? Problems with rats, I just can't do it

last summer, i noticed a rat living underneath my shed in the back garden.

i tried my hardest to convince my female counterpart that we had a rat living with us, but as usual was met with a wall of silence.

so time passed and i didn't see rodney the rat again, so i just figured that he had gone away some place else.

Para, what excellent points. I like the one about ripping the bandage off and just getting on with it. Thank you, that genuinely helped.

Terry, that was one funny post! Had me in stitches! LOLOL

I actually heard it said once that the whole lake of fire thing has already happened, and the Jews were thrown into it by Hitler. I remember it being argued that the term 'HOLO-CAUST' actually meant 'burnt sacrifice' and Hitler seriously considered himself to be doing the will of the Lord.

Then, of course, isn't it usually agreed on that Hitler wasn't fully aware of the death of so many Jews, it was just nasty bastards like Himmler who gave out those orders?

Crisis of Conscience/ISoCF Library Campaign

by AK - Jeff in

many libraries do not have copies yet, as it is far from 'mainstream' reading for most people.

i propose that we can all do a small deed that can/might be a huge favor to our former 'brethren' in the 'truth'.

check with the local library, see if they have the books on the shelves.

Good idea!

Haha Ninja, rats trying to get OUT rather than in - yes, I like that. It was probably Glasgow they were trying to get out of! (slight jab there) I did go to Glasgow once but it wasn't for me. Are there many Scots left in Glasgow, and what are you, blue or green and white?

Life is Grand - I know how you feel. I can't listen to how the poor buggers die. But then, going down another route, surely we have saved them from such a God-foresaken life?

Thank you everybody for your advice.

I tend not to think down the 'it's their culture' route because I become frustrated and start going down the whole racial route. It would be easy for me to go there but it would just screw me up.

In my head I wish I lived in a cloud cuckoo land where it was Victorian England, I have plenty of money with a nice garden and I could nod my head and say 'Good morning' to every person I pass to work in the morning. Oh, how I wish those days were here again!

Last summer, I noticed a rat living underneath my shed in the back garden. I tried my hardest to convince my female counterpart that we had a rat living with us, but as usual was met with a wall of silence.

So time passed and I didn't see Rodney the rat again, so I just figured that he had gone away some place else.

A couple of weeks ago, I was looking out of my french doors at my garden when I noticed a big brown rat run across the gravel. Not good. So again I informed my female counterpart, and this time she seen it.

"You'll have to put poison down"

So down went the poison, begrudgingly, since I don't actually believe in killing anything. As much as I hate rats, I can't bear the thought of hurting anything. I get so obsessive about it that I actually rescue those tiny summer flies that come through the bathroom window and rest in the basin. It is as though I am doing nature a great service, I can't bear to kill anything.

Today I have been informed that the rat was dead, all in all with the tail just under half a meter in length. 'We need to get rid of it' was a fantastic suggestion but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. This poor thing had suffered immensely through terrible stomach pains (I know all about that), was under so much pain that it ventured out in the day for some kind of relief, crawled halfway across the gravel lawn and just died through immense pain. I feel darn guilty as well. But then, what could I do? Should I have let them breed in their hundreds to take over the whole garden? Surely it is all about survival of the fittest.

Am I looking too much into the death of just one rat? Sometimes you have to be tough in this life but the murder of this rat will now continue to plague me for the rest of the day with guilt. I couldn't watch as I scooped up the rat and placed him in a box into the trashbin. I can deal with most things, spiders, snakes, they dont bother me - but rats, although I can't stand to look at them, I can't bear to hurt anything. Surely there are guys out there who can admit the same?

What can't you deal with?
