  On a serious note, a question to the US posters; How long do you think 'til this place is over-ran with tumbleweed? Will people seriously still be visiting this place in 5 or 10 years? I see lots of stories about fundies' fervour and the general population being practising church-going christians. I just find it totally bizarre. I don't think it'd happen in europe. Then again, europe is evil.

  I've just heard they reckon it's gonna cost about 8-9 billion roubles, yet at the end of all the skimming, kick-backs and green handshakes they reckon as much as 100 billion roubles. People like the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will make tons of money out of this. He is a gangster and a killer. It's well known he's made lots of people disappear.

  As for Qatar, they don't allow drinking in public, they still don't give rights to women, and they don't recognize the nation of Israel. I would fuckin love it if Israel won the world cup! (as if). The traditional scenes of revellers enjoying a beer, and scantily clad south American lovelies painted in their team colours will not be tolerated. They will enjoy their World Cup either being flogged, or deported.

  What a bloody farce. It's going to be phenominally crap. Shame on FIFA.

  Really fascinating. At some point they'll find a life form that will be able to chemically assimilate a McDonalds Cheeseburger.

  I wonder if the WT$ will eventually report this in their rags. Be interesting what drivel they'll come out with to explain this.

  Welcome Pontoon!

  yeah, I'm sure plenty of JWs prayed furiously for all the poor souls in the concentration camps during WWII, but mighty Jah said no deal. When I was in, that used to irritate me how brothers prayed for stuff, then attributed the good stuff to jehovah. Such a load of nonsense.

  Sorry Tammy.

  I really really would love to believe in god (who wants an eternity of nuthin'?). I'm just bitter and twisted and take the pee far too much. I've always had a big problem with Noah's ark when I was a Witness. I used to go through loads of what ifs etc, to make it fit. I commend you for your belief and faith.

  Sorry again. I don't like to be facetious.

  something just was not sitting right with me.

  i had been a publisher since i was 4 years old and i gave my first talk when i was 6 years old.

  Welcome Safirblue.

  Many Millions of people on earth lead secular lives, and get along just fine. Question the idea that you must have a spiritual need. I think it's a fallacy. The Watchtower loves to drum it into the congregations about being happy and conscious of your spiritual need. I am personally more moved by nature and natural beauty, than any mere words and theories about god in any books. Having a good long hiatus in any spiritual thinking can really clear the decks and help you to analyze things objectively.

  I'm gonna throw Tammy a bone, by mentioning how quickly and easily a domestic dog (and all subsequent diverse breeds of dog) can be bred from a wolf. (about 30 generations I think). Having said that, I recently watched a programme on National Geographic which touched briefly upon the flood and Noah's Ark. They got a boat builder to make a scale model, and calculated the theorized weight of all animal species, then added it into the boat. The boat collapsed within seconds. Angels must've been holding Noah's together, I tells ya!

  At the entrance to the park, are they gonna have a sign which reads 'You must be this dumb to go on this ride'...?

  Okily Dokily...Neighbourino!

  Russia? The whole place is bent. So much corruption. You can get pulled over by traffic cops, and if you don't give them a bribe, you're screwed. I fear that the Russian mafia might try to affect some of the games. I think a lot of fans will just give the place a wide berth. I don't think there'll be much atmosphere at that World Cup. The sentiment was good, but I just don't think Russia is ready for it. As for Qatar, I think Australia would've been better....
