  • Thanks for that @BMW_with_missiles. It looks like I'll be sticking with Firefox then!
  • I am speaking about personal religious beliefs. ISIS does not represent Islam, one has only to listen to the viewpoint of the vast majority of Muslim states and indeed people on the streets in the UK to understand that. I have no Muslim acquaintance…

  • I wish they'd show tho old Dr Who on the horror channel again. I always took time out to watch them. One question for those who watch the new series, does it feature UNIT and the Brigadier on occasion?
  • Personally I don't think religion should form part of this discussion. My only comment with regard to it is while I am not religious myself I respect other peoples right to believe in whatever god they choose to follow.
  • I am using the court system as an analogy. patb I do note that you have made one glaring error (I'll let you figure it out for yourself) in your last post. Seeing as you are obviously so well versed in the processes of law I'll let you figure it out…
  • Could someone please explain what - if any - positives would Clinton or Trump bring to the role if they made it to the White House? There must be something good about them?
  • I am not suggesting Darthdemi would be going to the asylum - neither did I say it (the witness is being led!) I am saying that no one's arguments would stand up in a court of law. I know of no courts who would accept hearsay or supposition. Courts o…
  • Yes I know I'm posting twice in succession but please bear with me......... Are there any computor people out there who can help me? I use the Opera browser. Last evening I attempted to log into MI6 but the page would not load. I tried a few o…

  • @DarthDimi a slick paper indeed. I'd wager it took much time and effort to compile. Back to your post and to paraphrase, what we have been presented with is eight paragraphs of 'why I shouldn't respect anyone else's opinion', seasoned with a lit…
  • Ludovico wrote: » The thing is: you cannot prove a negative. The burden of proof is on the person making the positive claim. And I am sure @DarthDimi can explain it better than I do, but a theory is not an hypothesis. It is a system meant to expla…
  • @DarthDimi I'm not going to bulletpoint. I've already pointed out why your post has done you no favours so I'm not going to repeat myself, all you need to be aware of going forward is that I stand by what I said. I have to ask have you actuall…

  • tanaka123 wrote: » He said, she said ... That's all it is. Nobodys opinion on this subject carries any more weight than any other because no one has proof of their argument.
  • Ludovico wrote: » @stag You do not understand the burden of proof, how we investigate or how we establish truth. Er I beg to differ. Again I point out that we are not in a court of law (I've been in a few in my time - have you?) but I am at…
  • What has rejecting theological doctrine get to do with the subject in hand? Of course The burden of proof lies with both parties otherwise what happens when those who reject the existence of spirits have have their own claims rejected? The believer …
  • I completely agree with your opening paragraph and especially the last sentence (which applies equally whichever side of the fence you are on) however I must point out that your post degenerates thereafter leaving me with no requirement to underscor…
  • With that I must conclude that you are not interested in debate just diatribe? So you personally cannot prove that ghosts do not exist? That makes your own 'evidence' that they don't as compelling as those who are being hounded down and mocked fo…
  • I think it's all a total shambles - whatever the outcome of the election America will lose big time.
  • Personally I'd like to see proof that ghosts exist also I'd like to see proof that they don't. It's basic claims and defence. No one has said anything from either side which would remotely satisfy the other in respect to the matter. I…
  • Great thread. For anyone who makes it to Bristol you can always call for a drink here: http://www.hmssbristol.com It also has a 'sister' bar in London: http://www.thecocktailtradingco.co.uk Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be Bond…
  • @vzok brilliant! Thanks for that. I've downloaded it and will be listening to it soon. BTW I always thought Michael Jayston had a good voice for such things. He read the Rogue Male audiobook which is well worth a listen also.

  • Yes, great ideas. I guess the only actor who would say 'never again' would be SC. @vzok I didn't know about the Michael Jayston Bond drama. I'd like to hear that one.
