If you aren't a rosbif then my post wasn't referring to you, was it? As it happens, I don't know any French ethnophaulisms for the Irish - perhaps VALFR59 can enlighten us?

A well-known Zen Buddhist Koan asks: is an agnostic behaving like a good Christian by piously nit picking on behalf of Islamic resurrection performing a mitzvah - or is this the sound of one hand clapping?

mockney piers Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Islam isn't based upon resurrection I'd love to know where you and Hugo get that idea from - do either of you have a citation? Islam is predicated on the Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiy?mah) when everyone will be resurrected and judged. This is derived from the Day of Judgement and End of Times eschatologies found within Christianity and Rabbinical Judaism, respectively. Edited for accuracy.

Just a minor point: Islam is based on resurrection. Regarding the 'early' Christians: Just as 'early' Judaism was based on a pseudo-history stretching back to the Creation, Christianity and Islam were also based on pseudo-histories ? it?s a common literary device within Judaeo-religious scriptures. In the case of Christianity, it probably appeared within the Roman Empire in the form of several [supposedly] pre-existing rival sects sometime between 150 and 300 AD ? some scholars place its appearance as late as 450 AD, albeit controversially. There is little doubt amongst serious scholars that the Church rewrote crucial parts of the pre-fall history of the Roman Empire to support its scriptures - almost everything we know about that period comes to us filtered by Christian monastic scribes: the process is known as pious or religious fraud. Edited for clarity.

I've been experiencing a slow down for a couple of days now, too. Seems very slow today, in particular.

Most people who recall 'past lives' during regression deduce reincarnation as the logical explanation without reference to religious doctrine or scriptures. I cannot think of any experiential evidence for resurrection - it is entirely dependent on religious exegesis and blind faith. So, it may be poor in your view but it is surely better than the complete absence of evidence offered by the promoters of resurrection?

Daizie - you're conflating your aphorisms ? well-spotted waynetta. It should, of course, be: Convince up-skirt voyeurs that you have mildew by liberally applying talcum powder to your genitals.

Stops are similar to 'buy/sell limits' and are set up in advance. There are different types of stop order.

You didn't see that coming when you picked your screen name, did you :) OOT - sympathies to your wife and the old lady.

I claim no credit for this revelation - Karl Marx worked it out many years ago: capitalism will eventually destroy itself. The system is inherently flawed - every serious student of economics will know this. The great unknown is when it will happen - but happen it will - it is inevitable. More here.

Whatever tweaks and fiddles we make cannot change the fact that the existing system relies on constant growth - the reason it is not working as desired now is that (amongst other factors) the long-term forecast for real, sustainable growth is poor to non-existent. In fact, the elephant in the room is the very real prospect of economic stagnation, at best, or, more likely, significant contraction for decades ahead - as far as anyone can foresee. My own view is that the western socio-economic system is likely to collapse sometime within the next few decades. Capitalism - reckless or not - is dead.

There are many other types of economic system but we are stuck with this one (based on capitalism, fiat currencies and the creation of money through debt via fractional reserve banking) until it self-destructs (a built-in feature given a closed system with finite resources, by the way) or a popular revolution wipes the slate clean and adopts an alternative such as communism, barter, hunter-gatherer, anarchy or natural selection - amongst others.

Why not ask him directly via PM?

A phone card or a cheap international dial-up service or you could call from one of the Internet cafes in Rye Lane that offer cheap international calls.

There's nothing new here - the gasification of plastics (or other hydrocarbons) by distillation has been around since the 1920s. See Synthetic Liquid Fuels Act. This sort of technology won't become feasible before coal-to-oil via the Fischer?Tropsch process becomes economically viable.

MS Office is usually compiled in various editions for different countries and languages. The US edition may not support an English (British) dictionary/thesaurus and metric paper (such as A4 etc) and print measurements (although you may be able to download a free language extension pack). Support might be an issue, too. Apart from that, it should work OK (but don?t take my word for it). Have you considered OpenOffice - it's multi-language and free?

Format the memory.

I've had the door-bending thing done three times while living in this area - twice on one car. But the vehicles were stolen on each occasion.

A leading candidate must be (what believers interpret as) the vivid and detailed personal memories of past lives revealed during regression or reverie. Traditional criticism that such memories are rarely reconcilable with historical records might be countered by reference to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics ? one would have thought?
