Huguenot speaks the truth.

I think if conspiracy theories spring from inadequacy - a feeling that someone somewhere must be in charge or it would be altogether too scary - then their proponents must be the most enfeebled.


What's worse is that as feeble as these self-proclaimed messiahs are, they spread scare stories in an effort to drag the rest of the public down to a level of paralysed submission.


Hence far from performing a public service, conspiracy theorists are like Tolkien's Grima Wormtongue: manipulating, undermining and destroying people in order to gain power over them.


I imagine that fuels frustration like SMG's. The problem is that the degree of depraved manipulation from conspiracy theorists is so venal it often leaves other commentators aghast.

You really are a bit peculiar Easties EL.


Your measure of 'truth' now appears to be how violent a man becomes if you disagree with him. You like violence?


Does this go hand in hand with the messiah thing? You like to imagine yourself swinging a sword and saving the village whilst fair maidens fall at your feet? ;-)

Indeed, my mistake too. I didn't relise that life is full of BS. People dying in vain throughout history. Toture, rape, murder, humilation, war crimes etc. Reason is treason? No profit in peace? I guess if World War 3 happens our attitudes on life will be very different?

You cannot be an Army Navy Seal for goodness sake.


Naval Special Warfare Groups are by their nature a function of the United States Navy.


And he actually wasn't a SEAL either, he was an undewater demolition expert.



I am quite ambivalent about Jesse, he did great service when he creamed Elizabeth Hasselbeck on the idea of waterboarding being acceptable, then he comes out with the dumb Building 7 theory.


His complete digust at anything Dick Cheney tips the balance for me in his favour though.

Are you tending to agree with Herr Kissinger?

What makes you say that, or question if I am tending to agree with Herr Kissinger? LOL Are you agreeing with me or Herr Kissinger?


No am I not agreeing with him. I can't wait to discuss about global warming next week.:)-D


Right I'm off to watch Richard Keys and Andy Gray introduce to me a Sunday Football fest. A couple of Stellas in the fridge, feet up and hoping that world doesn't end, so I hopefully see West Ham United at least win the League Cup!

If any question why we died,

Tell them, because our fathers lied.

I think you've got problems if you can't see the difference between this truism, Easties EL, and the claim of a massive organised conspiracy between 9/11 and the New World Order.

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
