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.

    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas! 
    • That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.    
    • Actually, if it was factory fitted then it's location would be documented. It's the fact that it can be fitted in different places which means that it's difficult for thieves to locate.
