Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

Which is what I said, Fred. ie. One sloppy Asian Manager doesn't make all Asians poor restaurant managers, bad Asian managers, dirty Asians, or anything else either.

:-)

I notice Haystack agreed with me. I noticed that so did you too, Fred. Thanks for sticking to the point (it does make a bit of a change).

PS Fred. Congrats on getting so much support to keep you around this place. It would be really great and I'm sure you'd be liked a lot more, if you could debate by sticking to the point of an opponent's topic, question or query and not stray away from it by ignoring it and bringing in something else.

Indeed, it's because you do that and also so unobjectively despise anything 'Tory', that you are disliked so much.

On another point, I'm sad to hear Hilary has gone. She was a valued contributor.

I personally, would like to think she left because she didn't feel there was an adequant audience for her contributions. The traffic was too 'one-way'.

You can only keep opening doors for others if they say, 'Thank you'. If they can't be bothered to do so and no one seems to appreciate it, then opening the door for someone else, does seem to be a bit daft and pointless.

So I think she weighed up the pro's and con's and then probably said, '...and there's Fred as well.' ;-)

Exec,

I learned a long time ago to accept myself warts and all.

When I make a statement, it is the argument that I am interested in, not whether I am liked or disliked.

(Also, I learned a long time ago to dissociate the person from the argument being presented.)

Again, I was taught to question and evaluate the statement and answers given by myself or others. Often exposed false "beliefs" and lack of real thought on my own part and that of others.

Again you attribute a position to me Indeed, "it's because you do that and also so unobjectively despise anything 'Tory', that you are disliked so much". This, from those who know me well, is patently not so.

Repetitions of such sweeping statements tend to irritate, when repeated in one form or another and tend to be used in group attacks" of one form or another.

If you said that I bait posters, who I think make sweeping statements, from what I consider pedestals of clay, you are correct. More often with tongue in cheek than I think, you suspect.

If you read back through my previous postings, you might be able to review this opinion.

I must admit, although being a member of a few clubs and partaking of various groups, I have in general, been an observer rather than an adherent of the mores of any specific group.

Being a member of a group never seemed to add to my validity. (Swings and roundabouts.) But I would like to thank those who you think have lent me support.

However, I didn't realise that when a topic appeared to be under discussion, that it could only developed within prescribe rules.

If the latter is so, please enumerate your rules.
=======

As far as Hilary is concerned, I would supposed she contributes at her own volition. If one gives it out , it would seem sensible to be able to accept being challenged and rebuffed in the same manner.

However, I wish her no ill-will.

Pompous oaf

question . why do people believe in a god that is a fairy story .
and the masters use it tocontrol the ignorant poor

Tanker...

Ask yourself where you came from.... keep going as far as you can until you have no answer. That's is the beginning of creation so there must be a creator (GOD).

There's a good thread on ADFN called what does god want of me, just type GOD
