It seems as if the Rev. Jackson has struck a sore spot. If you believe that 400 years of colonization of the colored countries wasn't a racist past, then I would suggest reevaluating your understanding of racism
Moravian replies on Apr 6, 2021:
Don't be ridiculous. Of course Britain had a racist past. The number of slaves transported from Africa was only equaled by Portugal,.but is the UK more institutionally racist than the USA ?. Jackson seems to think so but the Sewel report says otherwise.
Of course Britain exploited the countries it colonised . That's what colonial powers do, but when it gave up it's colonies the indigenous people took over the running of the country apart from one major exception. I wonder where that is ??

I am currently reading a book by adventurer Levison Wood who recently treked around the Arabian peninsula. He talks about the Arabs in the gulf states involvement in slavery. They were enslaving people from sub Saharan Africa thousands of years before the UK got involved I wonder if they have the collective guilt we are supposed to have ?
Judging by the situation in Qatar where tens of thousands of immigrant workers are building the stadia for the next football world cup I doubt it. The workers have their passports impounded,work in appalling conditions and over 6000 have already died. Many from heatstroke. This is little more than modern slavery.
I'm sure we have a way to go in the UK but from news items I read it is not nearly as bad as in the US

The story is about how she manged to get health professionals including those in the US navy to develop and use this treatment to cure her husband.

@SeaGreenEyez Paranoia !!!. I have many friends and family in the USA and none of them have any interest in guns but I was invited to a "pizza party" in Idaho. A lovely, charming hospitable generous family but paranoid. The man of the house told me he kept several loaded guns in the house when the family were growing up. A few years ago two women were raped and murdered in the neighbouring town so he was taking no chances.

The average person feeling they need a gun to protect themselves really has no idea what it feels like to be under attack. My sister has 2 guns, no idea what kind but one is a pistol. She regularly goes to a range and shoots.

Can you handle 3.18181818 penguins?
If each person in Ireland can handle 3.18181818 penguins then the island is safe.
3.181818 X 6.6 million Irish = 21 million penguins.

Yes - once the retaliation cycle starts no one benefits. And the government usually feels they have to "win" no matter how harsh they have to be.
Moravian replies on Mar 24, 2021:
Another 14 "protesters" arrested last night. Apparently a peaceful protest got ugly when police tried to disperse the gathering. It is currently unlawful for people to gather in numbers due to lockdown restrictions. Several policemen have tested positive for Covid and others are in quarantine after a mass gathering of football supporters in Glasgow a week or so ago, I have some sympathy for the police as they are in a "no win" situation here.

Caitin Moran, a journalist and author who I greatly admire has an interesting piece in today's Times. She says that women have to conform to a virtual curfew as it is not safe for them to go out on the streets after dark. She suggests that maybe there should be a male curfew to balance things up.
She also comments that in her social circle there is one man who is known to be abusive to women. She has asked other males in the circle to cut him out which none of them will do.
She insists that men do more to call out their mates on inappropriate behaviour before it gets more serious. This sounds laudable but how do you get lads to do this.
Woman also have a part to play. When the so called leader of the free world is a man who thinks it is ok "To grab a women by the pussy" and he is put into office by as many women as men it makes me wonder.

@brentan This can be argued till the cows come home but a survey shows that scientists tend to be less religious than the general population. This is not surprising . What surprises me is that so many scientists are religious. Cognitive dissonance at work I think.

@Triphid Was Moses mythical or did he actually exist ?. I read a fascinating book on the development of religions (It;s on my Kindle which I have missplaced ). The author equates Moses to a modern day cult leader and if you study the old testament his actions certainly bear this out. He had total control over the tribe and through "god" he kept that absolute for the supposed forty years. Only when he died and Joshua take over did the tribe move on.

@Castlepaloma Hospital admissions in the UK have fallen dramatically particularly in the over 70's since the vaccination programme started so it certainly stops serious illness. Whether it protects for any length of time we will just have to wait and see.
If we could stop selfish people travelling around the world spreading new variants it would help.
Three oil workers flew from Brazil to Aberdeen via Paris and London and subsequently fell ill with the Brazilian variant. Fortunately it has been contained, for the moment.
I am surprised at you repeating nonsense about Bill Gates. I am not a great fan of how he made his money but at least he is doing something worthwhile with it rather than sending rockets to Mars.

Bill Gates owns share in Johnson and johnson and Monsanto. Boy!!! They are making a killing.
Bill Gates has said as many as six Covid-19 vaccines could be ready by the first quarter of 2021. Gates wants all energy to be nuclear power.
He is such a nice guy. Lol.

@Castlepaloma Hospital admissions in the UK have fallen dramatically particularly in the over 70's since the vaccination programme started so it certainly stops serious illness. Whether it protects for any length of time we will just have to wait and see.

Supposedly the new Johnson and Johnson vaccine is 100% effective.

Astra Zenica are selling the vaccine at cost so not everyone ids cashing in. They recently sold shares in Moderna for£1 billion to fund future research

If adherents of the US second amendment were honestly following it they would look like this ;-).

The 2nd amendment was designed to give private citizens the ability to protect themselves from criminals and a tyrannical government like we have now in the US.
Moravian replies on Feb 28, 2021:
@Trajan61 Well if you feel that you need a gun to protect yourself it would suggest not but I think it may be more to do with paranoia than actual danger.

@Trajan61 Being fortunate enough to live in a civilised country I have no need of a firearm to protect myself. Even in my several visits to the USA i felt no need to be armed fortunately.
