Society & Culture - 10 November 2006

I'm not talking about a revolution in the true sense but more along the lines of a cultural revolution as was experienced in the 1960's.

There now seems to be an enevitability that Scotland will break with the act of union causing independance and there will be some form of a united Ireland in the near future?
English/Scottish nationalism is at an all time high and the union jack/flag seems to have been replaced by St Georges/Scottish saltire Flags.

Also, there will be a 'crossover generation' of young professional educated people who for the first time will not be able to afford property and make wealth like their parents/grandparents generation. It also seems certain that this generation will not recieve a state pension or even medical care in the future as we now unlike previous generations are expected to pay for it ourselves.

So are we heading for some kind of soft revolution in the UK. If we do what form will it take and when will it happen. Any thoughts?

about the religion you are? Does it matter what the name of the group is called? (if you are in a church)
Does God favor any particular group?
Tell me what you believe about being one of God's saved?

It will not offend people of other faiths and it is in keeping with the original occassion of mid winter worship before christendom rebadged it and dragged the Christ into the pagan festival.

Obviously he won't be coming down with thorn on his head and nails on his hands and feet. So how would you recognise him? or will you kill him again perhaps by hanging him or electric chair?

This is serious ques not mocking of any kind. I love him enough just like Christians do.

Everyone add 1 or 2 lines to the story. There's just 2 rules:
1) No killing off the main character.
2) Keep it clean please.

Have fun with it.

We left off where our main character Elmer the dragon and his friend Rudy are trying to locate and save their good friend Mikan who's been kidnapped by the evil nemisis Oral. No one has specified what kind of animals or humans Rudy, Mikan or Oral are. Are they dragons or ........ something else? Will they reach their friend in time to save him? I don't know. It's up to you.

Does anyone else understand the difference between on the one hand saying a religion is Evil, plenty of people for instance say Jehovahs Witnesses are evil, and on the other,calling for, or demanding that, anyone who speaks against your chosen religion to be beheaded, killed.

surely the peoples of the developing counteries need a source of energy to work with. when setting up schools and villages, would it not be logical to solar panel the roofs and incorporate wind mills etc. all this captured energy can be stored as hydrogen via fuel cells and released as needed for hot water, lighting, cars etc.

this is the future we are looking at ourselves and i think that this is what the developing nations deserve to be helped with.

i also understand that it is one of many factors but sustainability must be at the heart of all projects. agree?
