All the pain will be worth it if Brits no longer have to look at a straight banana in the store and can once again climb up on their roof like the Germans and French apparently can and do constantly.....

"those subjects never rely on bullshit baffles brain’s techniques."
Why do you feel that books on evolution use this technique, seeing as how you admittedly haven't read any?

"I said if something is true it shouldn’t need an overly complex convoluted bullshit baffles brains book written about it."
So, my college chemistry textbook could have been condensed into a paragraph?
And calculus could have been presented in the form of a fortune cookie! -

a pet peeve of mine
by enoughisenough inputting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.
it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.
there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.

SydBarrett, so you think an engineer is superior to other humans? Just because someone may be an expert in their field doesn't make them a superior human.
I'm just not sure what you are blathering about. .A lot of this around this place -

) - The caveat here for American readers is that "left-wing" and "socialist" in UK and European politics are NOT the same as "communist", despite what you may have been brought up to think from your own electoral system!
How dearly I wish people understood this.
Even Simon in another thread, lumped Nazis with Communists. It was so hard not to take the bait. But I didnt. -

"I don't think this labeling is in anyway kind or accurate. Are these ones really inferior people? Or are others just Proud!"
I have no training in aeronautical engineering. want me to build your airplane?
I know of one JW who was in the cleaning business who invented a machine for cleaning and became a millionaire!

And where is the open debate on whether we want to be involved in this war in Ukraine? We have no choice in the matter we are dragged into it without a vote and whether we like it or not.
This may go way off on a tangent, but i'm asking as an American curious about the British point of view. Would you feel differently if it were Belgium instead of Ukraine?
Britain has always had this "part of Europe/not part of Europe" thing. Understandable and interesting -

The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?
by SydBarrett inany opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.
terrifying.
what's your gut feeling?

"I even said to a few people that it was a media smokescreen for something else."
Not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy. Sometimes it's just laziness. The sub story was on both conservative and liberal news outlets. Sometimes stories get blown up simply for the gawk factor.
In the summer of 2001 it was GW Bush in office and it was constant "breaking news" about every shark attack. Even a minor bite needing a few stitches. There were no more attacks than any other summer, but for a while it got eyes on the screen every time there was more "breaking news".
Really? Smokescreen for Biden? How would that work? They pull the heads of every news organization of every slant to a meeting at the whitehouse and lay out this nefarious plan? They even get right wing British tabloids to go along with it?
