Yes it does sound like a bad idea on both counts not being a UK citizen I can't really say much but here in the US you have a hard time and small isles at Walmart if your weight is proportional to your height.
Moravian replies on Jul 3, 2019:
I have trekked round American supermarkets and the number of sugary treats are substantially more than in the UK. The number of obese people are probably in the same ratio but we are catching up fast.

@Marionville Apparently it is the 50th anniversary of the investiture of Charles as Prince of Wales and film of the ceremony were shown on BBC TV recently. At the time many Welsh nationalists were against it and the BBC commentator was of the opinion that if Charles becomes king it is unlikely that William will be made Prince of Wales. Not sure why

Moravian replies on Jun 28, 2019:
@brentan I suppose they were brave to go against the acceppted beliefs of the time. A bit like atheists in theocracies like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia today, but the commonly held belief that the Christians were persecuted in Roman times for worshiping their god is not true. It was because they refused to worship the Roman gods of the day as well which was mandatory.
Of course once Christianity was the accepted religion they got their own back big time.

Moravian replies on Jun 26, 2019:
I remember having a discussion with a couple of religious people about "evil". I insisted that evil is an adjective that describes a person or act and cannot stand alone as a noun. They would not have it could, because it is in the bible. A bit like the "B" horror movie "and evil stalked the land that night"

Time you had a history lesson I think. Iran/Persia was a civilised country when Europeans were still wearing animal skins.The current situation dates back to 1953 when the socialist president Mohammad mossdaq tried to nationalise the Iranian oil run by the UK. The UK/USA engineered a coup to replace him with the poison dwarf Pavlavi .
Although he kept the fundamentalists under control he was generally hated and further interference in the area by the west led to the Islamic revolution.

@rogueflyer Make your mind up . First you say there is no reference to patriarchy in the bible , which is untrue then you say you know all you need to know about the bible.
Not only are the first books of the old testament interesting stories it is important to have a working knowledge of them to counteract the proselytizing of theists

"Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church".
One of many passages stating women are submissive to men

Would you do a suicidal task like this ?. I certainly wouldn't. Earlier the Iranians had rescued the crew from a tanker in the gulf and according to my friend the rope ladder from the deck to a small rescue boat far below is stabilised against the side of the boat by a magnetic clamp. Could the removal of this clamp be what the US spy film shows ? Anyway Trump is deyermined to have himself a little war to boost his ratings at home so look out.

@1of5 May be some truth in it. The CIA would do anything to try to get information about "the enemy".
Remember the film "the men who stare at goats". the article also says that he is unlikely to have had access to any useful information.KIm Jong Un would have anyone he perceived as the merest threat killed and the latest story is that he had four of his advisers killed because they failed to get an agreement with Trump in Vietnam.

@bbyrd009 Yes there is some debate as to whether Nazareth was populated during the time that Jesus was supposed to have lived. Joshua was the mythical leader of the Jews after the mythical Moses died at some amazingly old age so the name was commonly used and as the Jews were desperate for another saviour ( many orthodox Jews are still waiting on him) that is probably why this "saviour" was given that name.
I belive the early Mohammad did preach peace and tolerance but when he was chased out of Mecca and settled in medina things seemed to change.
I read of story of his life some time ago and it portrayed a sort of tribal warlord who's followers were anything but peaceful and behaved just like other tribes in the area.
The crusades were long after his time.
