  1. How many times do we say that though Malt when it comes to gifted sportsmen.....Best/Gazza as examples.............sometimes i think its those flaws in their makeup that provide the confidence for that gift to show itself.
  2. Never! Progress never stops, we learn a bit more every year. Questions to which today we say "we don't know", tomorrow we say "we now know". Keep pushing the limits of human knowledge with reason and logic. Beyond todays limits there's the unreasonable and unexplainable 'God'............. untill we extend that limit a bit further and replace the unreasonable with reason.... ok maybe i phrased that wrong.......at what stage do you say " no more progress is being made "......i get back to what i said about the 2 leading astro physicists who basically said we are now back to square one..
  3. Thats the one mate.......when you remember what a person was.....and what you see now......it seems so difficult to say " you are wrong " when he is telling you why ! " put the bag down or die "......i like that.......or what he calls " the junction you now find yourself at "
  4. But you are a big strong lad who knows what you are doing........are we going to trust old Auntie Vera to know what shes doing ?.....keeping in mind a lowlife is more likely to choose the easiest target............dangerous ground if you ask me. Ok what about a compulsory course in basic weapon handling that you have to pass before you can buy and own a weapon for home protection ......... For year old pensioners ?.....Or do they just have to bite the bullet........no pun intended like Yep if a pensioner wants to own a gun and they are competent and handle a gun and pass the necessary

  6. I'm not trying to ruin anything mate, he said 2 things he was told as he grew up, don't question a mans religion or his football team, anybody who does is an ignoramus. He mentioned it on this thread mate when all we were trying to do was find answers to questions regarding religion so to contradict himself in the same thread, is unbelievable. Anyhow, it's been a good read mate and I particularly liked your post about got getting pushed out to the start of the Big Bang, explained it perfectly to me I wouldnt question any mans understanding of religion unless i knew him well enough to
  7. hmmmm ....im struggling now.......must admit i was on a bit of a " trying to be brainy " moment yesterday as id spent the previous day with a born again christian friend of mine who comes at me so heavy with all this stuff its hard not to get involved ...particularly when i cant find fault in anything he says to be fair.....i still maintain though while science ultimately has to say " we dont know " i cant differentiate that a great deal from folk like me who cant make sense of the Bible......i mean at what point does science eventually hold its hands up and say " f**k it "......personally i

  9. Shame he was a cracking character in fools and horses.......cant say as i liked him in anything else but then that applies to all that little firm i never liked Jason or Lyndhurst in anything else it always felt like trying to watch Muhammed Ali playing football just never seemed right for me
  10. I cant watch many of these sitcoms they have on these days...that Benidorm shit is on right this minute it makes me want to throw up theres nothing funny about trying to shock you !......When you think back to things like Mind your Language,George and Mildred,Porridge,Rising Damp they were just generally funny they didnt need to be shocking to get a laugh....shame the way comedy has gone.
  11. Not picking faults Bornhunter but didnt 2 of Stephen Hawkings own top physicists ruin his 70th birthday when giving a state of the universe address in which they basically admitted we are back to square 1 in terms of discovering the origins of the universe by saying with the fact nothing comes from nothing it forces us to ressurect a way to kickstart the universe without the hand of a transcending creator.............so is belief in science over a creator just a case of 1 step forward and 2 steps back and we,ll get there in the end type of thing......and if so how long do you give it before gi
  12. No they are used to it i have these mad intellectual moments from time to time i usually spoil it all with a mad swearing rage when i run out of steam and its back to reality Makes you wonder though mate theres some knowledgeable folk out there we rub shoulders with in day to day life even on the ol www.......very impressive.
  13. Gnasher mate, you're right by our laws of physics in this universe. Problem is we are assuming all 'this' came from nothing simply because it all came from a singularity and expanded. We literally have no idea what was there before, if indeed there was a 'before', and if there was a before how the laws of that universe (for lack of a better word) behaved. We just don't know and will possibly be limited by the boundary conditions of our universe. It doesn't mean science doesn't exist outside of it, just that are not able to work with from within ours. While i wouldnt pretend i could eve
  14. A black hole is a thing..............nothing is not a thing so there cant be time in it.
  15. I guess that depends on what you think there was before a universe......nothing is nothing right ?.....space isnt nothing space is something and you cant get something from nothing......didnt Einstein say a cosmic expansion came from a ball of energy that moved faster than the speed of light or whatever.....so what if we had a giant cosmic rewind button back to the start where would it go back to....to have time there has to be a start surely.......the big bang ? being that was where the so called laws we are governed by began it makes sense in space time to have a start......but what about be
  16. Im well out of my depth here and its probably late in the game and im well behind ..........but is the first law of Astrophysics not " you cannot make something.....out of nothing ".....hence if nothing existed before the big bang where did time come from assuming with time you must have a start. Conservation of energy is I believe the first law of thermodynamics. Bearing in mind that all mass is a form of energy [E=mc(squared)] so when I say energy I mean mass and energy; this means that in an enclosed system, in this case our universe, the amount of energy is finite cannot be added
  17. I dont think that comes down to being a decent parent i think thats just about being a decent human being......like you say " any of my family "......forget parenting....my family or your family id take a great interest in seeing that person suffer
  18. Thats what i like about your posts Seeker you break things down into simple to understand logic even dumbells like me can understand.....at risk of sounding all arse licky ive very much enjoyed reading your views
  19. Im not saying personal vengeance is not a tempting prospect it is from a selfish point of view.....what part it plays in parenting though im not sure.....but parenting is certainly not something id make any claims about so like anything else mate you do as you see fit.

  21. Id say being an ignoramus should be the least of your worries Oddbaw.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwqejYbJ3cQ
  22. Well i dont know how well jellied eels travel in the post ...............but id be happy to trade
  23. Id say anything apart from violence are just the rules of life we all have to learn.....protecting a kid from the rules of life i think you could be on dangerous ground as you cant hold their hand forever....if the lad hurts my daughter in an emotional way,out of her pocket,cheating etc......then to me thats a lesson in life.......but any violence then thats where me and him fall out. Gnash are you saying if some scrote took her for every penny you would do nothing ? I have faith in that her mother brought her up well enough for that to never happen..........if it did happen id blame my
  24. Maybe if holiday companies were banned from using the disgraceful tactics they use to extort money from families they wouldnt have to resort to things like this just to have a normal family holiday with the kids !
