@CommonHuman I would be surprised if there were not stats on all medical procedures in this bureaucratic world. But I would hope that you couldn't 'git them' in the case of abortions because you didn't know who they were. I think the heart of the matter here is the integrity of data protection and how it separates personal information from social data.

brentan replies on Mar 9, 2019:

The thing is both testaments talk about how people should behave. Granted, the Hebrew scriptures mellowed over time, being barbaric in its early days. Bringing God's behaviour into it only distracts from human obligation. They believe in an end-time judgement that God will carry out. There is no indication in later scriptures to hint that believers should become part of the execution of that judgement. As for slavery, I'm sure the apostle Paul promoted decent behaviour on the parts of both slave and master because he thought God's kingdom was imminent.

Maybe an enforced good becomes a bad.

The way I see it.

brentan comments on Feb 28, 2019:

It's a pity. It seems to be the nature of the social media beast. It encourages opinion but it really wants agreement. Being lukewarm about things is a fairly safe alternative. Obviously I have no idea what goes on in the background but I suspect there's where the damage is created. I was ...

brentan replies on Feb 28, 2019:

I guess we have to accept it because lots of people don't want others disagreeing with them and they can do it so easily through blocking. I think maybe being open to argument is, for want of a better way of putting it, the principled way to have a discussion and being closed to contradiction is the natural way to want a discussion to go. I just think the real world is going back to tribalism in a sense and it's being reflected here.

Ahhh, Coffee! :)

brentan comments on Feb 28, 2019:

Well now! There's an attitude!

brentan replies on Feb 28, 2019:

That's a hell of an improvement. Well done!

It's pink shirt ( anti bullying day) today so all you assholes have to be nice ?

brentan comments on Feb 27, 2019:

Being nice at work can help you avoid getting shot.

brentan replies on Feb 27, 2019:

It's the same in Ireland. We are expected to get killed with at least a modicum of decency and then rest assured that the police will look into it.

An apt description of 2018.

brentan comments on Feb 27, 2019:

Is a semi-colon a half-assed attempt at grammar?

brentan replies on Feb 27, 2019:

Ignore me. I was just playing with the idea of a semi colon being the equivalent of half an ass.

I believe that there's a Harvest Festival song that starts..."We plough the fields and scaaaatter the good seed on the laaaand..."

@MarkRussell It sure was in mythology.

A vote on gay clergy and same-sex marriage may split the United Methodist Church [msn.

Christianity and homosexuality don't mix.

brentan replies on Feb 26, 2019:

@LenHazell53 Yes, theologians twist sciptures. I'm simply saying that Christianity and homosexuality don't mix in the scriptural context.

I'm sure I know those lyrics from Godspell.

This is a little old but I think its aged well, particularly after Cardinal Pells fall from grace.

My guess is that it's saying a priest is never far from an altar -boy and the bell is just to draw our attention to the boy.

@zesty I think we're entitled to criticise their story so long as we accept it is their story and America should butt out, especially with its record for making things worse.

So, it's Friday... what's up in your world?

Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Canterbury Tales. Oh, and working my way through season 4 of Vikings.

brentan replies on Feb 24, 2019:

@natebacca So true. Every trip takes the scenic route but it does look good. I'm afraid to go back to Valentine on my own to buy a new horse , especially after the bank job. There is no horse trader in Rhodes so solid old Ramesis will have to do for now.

Probably JT’s most famous song. [m.youtube.com]

Yes indeed. Poor James. Poor Suzanne. I believe he changed the lyrics a little bit about 'the plans they made put an end to you' because they came across a bit judgmental.

I've read a theory that consciousness is out there, external to the brain which works like a TV transmitter to conduct consciousness into our bodies. This would mean that when the brain is damaged, it struggles as a transmitter to function but consciousness is still intact, just not getting through....

What was written in the paper would be economic bad news for any country as things stand but something needs to change to stop damaging the earth. Maybe some other group should write a paper showing what they think should be done or why things should stay as they are.

@Trajan61 I can only hope that we don't just choose one of these issues to resolve and ignore the other.
