It is difficult to see how we can do without religion but certainly we can change our religion to suit a global world in a better fashion.....the Buddhist religion might be the better choice beyween the religions we have presently....but I am not sure

I took my eldest daughter with me hunting moose the year before last but after that she has had increasing intrerest in becoming a vegetarian. In fact she now only eats chicken and fish and no beef (and no pork) and no interest in game. I think it is a fine thing to be a vegetarian but should I tell my daughter that chickens and fish are the animals that are being treated in the worst possible fashion and maybe suffer more than any other before ending up on our table?

I like it I like it a lot....lets see such a button for moderators too

This is for certain

ROTFL These replica factory owners have some comedians working for them probably get low pay so why not play a prank

Now there is a comparsion I can understand

..or too insensitive (as in lacking in sensitivity to the feelings or circumstances of others; unfeeling.)

You got a good point there Neil I do not have a firm logical reason for not wanting to kill dolphins. I just feel very uneasy about killing dolphins beacause i like them so much. Same reason as I would feel unease about killing a friends pet or a fellow human being. I feel therefore I am.

this must be the winner and the colour should be...?

The entire LECTURE OF THE HOLY FATHER can be found here in PDF format: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/15_09_06_pope.pdf It is not clear to me exactly where he has gone wrong or insulted muslims.....maybe he is insulting by implying that muslims are not ruled by reason and that maybe neither should (are) we. The suggestion that GOD is beyond reason (= not reasonable?) was the popes entrance to dialogue? or did the pope suggest quite the contrary? The papas LOGOS seems a little veiled to me. It seems this speech is more for an academic audience than people at large and certainly this PAPA is more of the professor type than someone well versed in talking to the common man or the masses. He seemed to be so highbrowed and lofty in this speech (in trying to impress the professors at the university?) than he has simply outmanouvered himself g.

The "R10" and "Lonnon" seen sometimes on world time watches are among my favorites

Well spelled JTB

....within sustainable levels I guess whaling is OK....same with hunting seals....but certainly I do feel very uneasy about killing dolphins

The winners Congratulations with the elections Sweden the new guy looks a lot like the old one just thinner....lets hope a blue Sweden will be better than a pink socialist one Celebrating lower taxes....

Did someone who actually speaks German and hear the speach in German respond to this thread yet? Q:Did he say something offending or not?

Now what happened to your sense of humor?

I think what is being asked is this: May Neil ask you simple questions? a yes or no answer from you will suffice.....

I know the pope said something about Islam (I guess it was said in the Popes native tongue German) but what did he say that was so insulting? Could the German speaking members please give us some insight. g.

I guess its possiblen that also the Nautilus is designed to look ike aporthole but...this is probably the thread you want on this subject: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=4008 Perhaps the most prominent line in the Audemars Piguet collection is the Royal Oak, which was launched in 1972. The name is rooted in English history: it is said that Charles II, when pursued by Cromwell's army in 1651, took refuge in the hollow trunk of an oak. Inspired by the story, the Royal Nayy between 1803 and 1914 christened three of its largest battleships "Royal Oak." Spurred by the rich historical heritage of the name, Audemars Piguet decided to commission a design from that rascal Gerald Genta that would be a worthy reflection of this proud heritage. The shape is derived from the shape of a porthole, with the bezel attached by eight hexagonal bolts made of white gold. Purists may note that the slots of the screws are, of course, always perfectly aligned to follow the curvature of the case.
