    Fear of Death?

    To my mind ones own death is not a tragedy if one has lived. Gibran is my favourite author on this subject. I find peace in his words.

    Should Scotland be Independent?

    This is ignorant offensive crap. My family are Protestants. For the most part they are loyalists. They are Irish. This is our homeland. This Gaelic ******** is a 19th century version of fantasy literature. The history of Ireland is one of invasion. Waves of newcomers - vikings,Normans...

    Should Scotland be Independent?

    I was listening to all the crap about 'big business' exiting in the event of a yes vote this morning. If I were a Scottish voter that would swing me to vote 'yes'. What is the impact in Scotland?

    Is The American Empire Gone?

    What does it mean to be a 'superpower'? I think America is greatest in the mind of Americans. I see paranoia and swagger. A very odd combination.

    Why do religious adherents claim that extremists aren't a part of their religion?

    Is the term 'religion' so broad as to be meaningless? I think so. It could be argued for example that the Westboro Baptist church and Unitarians are members of the same religion. To my mind that would be daft. Are Islamists practicing the same religion as Badshah Khan? For the life of me I...

    Why Don't The Progressives Care About the Injustices Toward Arabs from Arab Governments?

    Would you really wish for the Israeli government to belong in the same category as the government of Saudi Arabia in the mind of anyone?

    Do Russia and the USA behave differently when it comes to their geopolitical interests?

    I was listening to a program on the radio yesterday about the overthrow of Allende, the coup in Chile, and the subsequent terror under Pinochet. The conversation then spread out into a wider discussion of US backed tyrants in South America. It made me think of Russia and the Ukraine. It seems...

    UN Resolution 16/18 impinges on freedom of expression

    We do. Freedom of speech and owning machine guns are problems I'll leave it to Americans to worry about. They are not real problems.

    UN Resolution 16/18 impinges on freedom of expression

    That is simply not true. The blasphemy laws in Ireland are all about the Catholic Church. BTW I am in favour of Blasphemy laws - not the RC church.

    What is the Role of the Outsider in Bringing about Changes in Religions?

    When someone says, even in polite language, you have built your life around a backward superstition which is clearly nonsensical and are as such either (a) delusional or (b) stupid I would regard them as an outsider.

    What is the Role of the Outsider in Bringing about Changes in Religions?

    No. The exact opposite. There should be no religion in government. Religion shouldn't try and exert influence beyond its own adherents. Likewise religion should net have influence exerted from those on the outside. For example. I think that a state should ensure that abortion is available...

    challenge to Muslims

    That's like asking someone else to eat your dinner for you & offering to take the nutrients on-board if they do. Daft.
