When In Rome......

And so to the tricky subject of Sharia Law.


I think we can all agree that Sharia Law is disgusting. Nowhere in ENGLISH life do the six principles of Sharia...


1. The right to the protection of life.
2. The right to the protection of family.
3. The right to the protection of education.
4. The right to the protection of religion.
5. The right to the protection of property (access to resources).
6. The right to the protection of human dignity.


...have any place, but worse some foreigner tried to corrupt them further to deny his ex-wife maintenance. Although I fully agree with the subjugation of women and disagree wholeheartedly with the judge’s decision, I was impressed by the way the Intellerati were quick to point out his mistake, in the way only they can. Now, what was that phrase again?

When in Rome you have to act like Romans? - Viscount, Manchester, 26/7/2012 9:12

No.

"When in Rome do as the Romans"- Trinity, manchester, 26/7/2012 9:12

Closer.

When in Rome as the old saying goes, we need more judges like this- Fed up of Farnborough, Farnborough, 26/7/2012 8:50

Possibly not.

When in Rome................ Live with it or leave.- Ken, Portsmouth, UK, 26/7/2012 8:44

Warmer.

when in Rome you do as the Romans do or go back to your own country of birth.- Chris, Bangkok, 26/7/2012 10:15

WARMER

Well in Rome do as the Romans do. Else return to yr Muslim country or whichever hole you dug out from- Taxpayer, England as was, 26/7/2012 9:49

Now that’s more like it!

Blue Mercedes

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 59 years on this planet, it’s that there’s a simple answer to everything. No issue, no matter how complicated, takes more than 20 minutes for a man with Common Sense to sort out.

One such man is Balloon Rake, who stalks the BBC Have Your Say forum like a vengeful wraith, righting wrongs, solving problems and tutting at scientists. Here’s his take on Korea:

 

As I have said before, the perfect solution all of Korea is that if North Korea and South Korea were to be united as the one country, This would bring peace and harmony and North Koreans would have the same freedom as South Koreans. The sooner this happens the better, nuclear weapons are just a sideshow

 

See? Why didn’t anyone think of that before? Next, the James Webb telescope’s infra-red strap-on:

 

More money wasted by sci-fi nut jobs, this money could be put to much better use. When you have seen one star then you have seen them all. James Webb has far too much time on his hands, at the end of a day a telescope is a telescope.

 

Finally, exiting Europe via our Eurovision entry:

Engelbert Humperdinck must be desperate for cash if he is entering the Eurovison Song Contest, Britains entries over recent years have been drivel leaning towards the manufactured X-Factor rubbish type songs. If Britain wants to win Eurovision then they should a song called "It's Better To Stand Alone (Than Be In The Eurozone)".

And it could be sung by Blue Mercedes

 

Boom! Whilst simultaneously bringing back a much-loved 80’s footnote no less! Jarvis – you may set the dining table in the Long Room for two! 

Whole lotta shakin going on

 

And so it is that a treatment for Parkinson’s disease has been developed via gene therapy. Good news, you say? 

You’d think so wouldn’t you. 

Actually, think of the flip side:

Strega wrore "Fantastic news! Let's get this on the NHS immediately"

Why? So every sufferer in europe can come here for free treatment!!!

 

That’s right – you make cures available on the NHS and you’re VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED to be OVERRUN WITH FOREIGNERS trying to get their hands on the stuff. I’ve a better idea – stop ALL treatments on the NHS and watch Johnny Foreigner swarm back towards Dover! Simples!

 

Daybreaker, meanwhile, thinks there may be a way to have the treatment AND put the boot into foreigners at the same time.

More advances in the medical field can only make peoples lives better. I just wish there was more money coming from the goverment, rather than sending it (foreign aid) abroad to so called third world countries, like india and pakistan who have nuclear weapons!

 

I can’t decide which I prefer. Both target foreigners, but while Daybreaker targets the disenfranchised poor, Tom1957’s plan has the advantage of targeting people who speak funny on the bus. There’s nothing for it but a slap-up dinner!

Mad Cow Denise

I’m no great fan of The Economist. In addition to their over-detailed articles and sesquipedalian sentences, the comments section always seems light on Common Sense. That is until now.

Cruising the comments on a number of articles, I found myself increasingly in accord with the charming teachings of DeniseIam. Holding forth on a variety of topics, Denise employs subjetificated historianism and interpretive semantics to make her points, whilst never forgetting her core philosophy, to wit:

"Racism" is self-preservation - and it's normal, and healthy.”

Ah, but of course! What could be more healthy and illuminating that judging a person primarily on the race you perceive them to be? But the lesson doesn’t end there, and here for your delectation are a selection of her other TRUTHS.

Truth fact: Banking

“Adolf tried to warn every-one....”

Ok. But to be fair she’s just warming up. Give her a minute.

Truth fact: US troops abroad

“Blah blah blah. Stop blaming Anglos. You Me stiz os have caused plenty of problems for yourself, long before the White Bearded Gods landed in your neck of the jungle. Tsk tsk tsk...you really ought not complain about others, when your main cultural contribution to world civilization is the glorification of cannibalism.”

That’s more like it! Responding to one Ricky Munoz with the Aristotelian blah, blah, you're a stinky face reposte, she rightly surmises that he is from a jungle region, which endorses cannibalism. This must be because:

“RACE is in the DNA.”

And so is culture, and we rightly hate the culture of DNA other than our own, and the DNA line is racially pure, otherwise her argument would be, well, just stupid!  Let’s try another:

Truth fact: Mexicans

“You;ve just revealed the TRUTH of this - the TRUTH - the Mexicans want ot go HOME.

mexico is their HOME.

Not Gringo Land.

Mexico

That's WHY Americans RIGHTFULLY HATE THEM.”

I always wondered. But I also wonder, can Denise help sort out the tricky dichotomy between people making an area of land their place of residence within the past few hundred years and people from outside that country wishing to make it their place of residence today? She can? Great!

Truth fact: Places of residence

“America was CREATED by SETTLERS. Not "immigrants". Who here knows the difference?”

There you go! it’s not like there was an indigenous population of any kind already there when the first SETTLERS arrived at Plymouth Rock.

I would so like to meet Denise, and she suggests we do. In fact she suggests we party together!

Truth fact: Par-tays

“I invite you Academic Ivory Tower types to contact me. We will party, err....par-tay...next weekend,..”

However

“You may want to come armed. I will be armed. I will be able to handle myself - but I can't account for you.”

Ah, but Denise - you had me at “racism is healthy”.

A better class of unhinged criminal

As Gordon Thompson gets 11 years for burning down Reeves’ Department Store during the Croydon riots, I am filled with nostalgia for the gentleman thugs of yesteryear.

Why, if you were a little old lady, you were virtually granted safe passage by these gentle giants, who would only break your fingers if you were of working age.

“South east London in the sixties was a lot safer than it is today, because these processional criminals actually looked after the community. If you were not in competition you were not in danger from them. Old ladies could walk the streets in safety, the muggers and petty criminals were kept in order. I’m not saying everything they did was right but for the general man in the street London was a safer place than it is today.

- John, Cambridge”

Anthony, meanwhile, laments the sartorial decline of our rioting class:

“Crikey!! In the old days, even the criminals were immaculately "dressed to the nines," and looked quite dapper (as the DailyMail would say). Not that I would know, but these days most criminals seem to get around in tracksuits, and such sloppy gear.

- Anthony, Bondi Beach, Australia”

Ah yes but this is what happens when you continually rob JJB Sports shops, you see. It’s the Circle of Nike. But what could any of this possibly have to do with the Moon landings, you ask?

“Well say what you like about him he must be more truthful than the yanks, just look at his Rolls, at least the wheels do leave tyre marks on the surface of the earth which is something that cannot be said for the yanks moon buggy on the moon.

- William Swithin, expaSwithinExpat Thailand, 3/4/2012 3:47”

And that’s all that matters.

The Big Bang Theory

 

The search for veracity in science is often a tricky thing. For every detailed metastudy proving anthropogenic global warming, there’s someone,  a non-scientist perhaps, who doubts the findings.

The same is true in the search for Bigfoot. There have been plenty of sightings, but why hasn’t he been seen yet? The “scientists “ will tell you it’s because he doesn’t exist, but apply if you will for a moment occam’s razor to this situation and you begin to see: you can’t see Bigfoot because he’s obviously travelling through multiple dimensions. Brother_of_The_Rosy_Cross has some knowledge:

"*Sigh* It is very sad how uninformed and ignorant most people are of the basic facts of the nature of existence. We occupy 3rd dimensional physical reality, though we are essentially spiritual beings temporarily engrossed in dense matter. Bigfoot is inter-dimensional, and can slip in and out of 3D reality. This is not merely my 'belief', I am not simply making this up, I speak from Knowledge."

Perhaps more sinister is tuis idea that there was ever a “big-bang” - bangs destroy things, right?
SBTC knows the truth:

"The Big-daddy of all myths is the actual "Bigbang-theory", as Not one shred of Scientific evidence can prove it happened at all. When was the last time you saw an explosion create? "Bangs" Deconstruct (oh dear oh dear)."

Not a shred of scientific evidence! Someone needs to tell Brian Cox, and put him onto the basic fact of existence that Bigfoot is a transdimensional spirit-being who isn’t constrained by space or time and can maintain whole-body integrity at full size as he travels.

Deceived by demons

While the majority of the so-called “science media” distract themselves with tall tales of “dark matter” and “stem cell research” it is refreshing to note that the Daily Mail are still willing to wrestle with the big scientific questions, specifically “Do dogs have souls?” Moreover they actually solve this mystery with a “Yes. Yes dogs do have souls” and pets come back to visit their owners.

Take Debra Tadman’s cat Wiggie, for instance. Wiggie correctly identified her owner’s flat as having asbestos, which she mentioned to a psychic pet communicator. An impressive feat for a cat, not least as it was FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.
 
Or the dog chiropractor, who feared he was having a breakdown because he’d seen a dog he knew to have died in the hallway. Perish the thought sir! What you have there is a “solid visitation”.

However, as robust as the Mail’s data is, I must admit that the following comment gives me pause for thought:

ha hah ah haahahahah haha hahah ah hha hahaha.... Can't stop laughing at this bull****.... Animal Communicators? Can I be Certified? So I can separate gullible, naive, I-see-dead-cats people from their hard-earned money? Should I then write a book--and have ghost Hamsters sign the front cover?? NO different than people who believe you can communicate with the Dead. Read Scripture, people. Bible says "and the dead know nothing". Animals do not have souls--and they do not "return". People have souls- they too, do not return. IF you are seeing manifestations (actual sightings of people and/or animals), they are not ghosts. There's no such thing as ghosts. You are being deceived--by demons, who masquerade as deceased loved ones. And your pets. Laugh all you want-roll your eyes. I laugh at you, because you are so blinded by the truth. Read Scripture- "And the Truth shall set you Free"...
- Priscilla, In the South, USA, 29/9/2011 21:25

How. Could I. Have Been. So silly. Dogs don’t have souls! Cats know nothing of asbestos! Grieving or sleepy people sometimes allow their minds to play tricks on them! How do I know? Simple- the Bible says!

You can believe your baseless fairytales all you like sunshine- I have the feasible and plausible tale of Jesus, the zombie carpenter and his sidekick the Holy Ghost who wrote down their adventures in a big book using reverse-transubstantiation. The next time you get a solid visitation of your dead rabbit Mr Buckles, just remember it’s really a demon, dressed like a rabbit and you’re just being gullible.
