I know a girl who won £1.4m on the lottery. Believe it or not, it totally destroyed her life. She actually said it was the worst thing that had ever happened to her. Timon.

I know...... I'm one of them! However crap it is I'm always mindful that when it comes to living on planet Earth, this (life in the UK) is about as good as it gets. I'm grateful for what I have and I try to be careful what I wish for...... Went for a curry the other night with a good mate who has spent a lot of time in Haiti. Speaking to him gave me some much needed perspective on how good we really have it. [emoji106] Timon.

In the unlikely event of Corbyn getting elected, do you think we would be able to have a second election on the grounds that no one really knows what they are voting for? ... you know, like Brexit. Timon.

Talk about fleecing the electorate [emoji849] Timon.

The Earth and the universe are dying. Mankind is very sick in many ways. If you read the Bible (and not just the NWT) God reaches out to a lost and dying world through his son Jesus Christ (God in human flesh and blood) Do you remember why he flooded the Earth? (This debate could run and run). I think it's hard for anyone to deny that mankind could use the help of a saviour. We've made a pretty big mess of things so far. It's going to take more than a general election to put things right! [emoji846] Timon.

I think Corbyn and the UN would prefer it if Israel adopted the "tea and biscuits" approach previously mentioned on here. [emoji849] Timon.

Be nice if Arb equipment thefts had an 8 min response time! Timon.

I'm with you on that Felix. The main thrust of my position in this debate though, is that I don't believe that Islam, right at its heart, is a peaceful ideology. Before we can find a realistic solution to this problem we need our politicians to ask the hard questions. Just saying that most Muslims are peaceful, while true in most cases, doesn't address the root of the problem. Until we ask the hard questions, all we will be doing is papering over the cracks. [emoji846] Timon.

Totally get your point. However, (I do study, and teach basic Christian theology though so I have a fair idea what I'm talking about) Abu Bakar Al Bagdadi is a leader of a (growing) world religion too. I'd prefer to listen to/debate people on this forum than him to be honest! [emoji846] Timon.
-
Well, for starters the I don't hold to the same world view as him. Secondly I didn't realise he was a Muslim scholar. Thirdly, I'm not sure what your point is? My understanding of the nitty gritty issue of fundamentalist Islam is that it's founder was among other things a very violent man and the Koran teaches that all of the world must be subjugated under Islamic rule and law. That is Islam's primary goal and purpose. It's very different to Christianity. That was what I was trying to point out to graham. Thanks Timon.

Morning Graham. Couldn't let this one go. There are very few passages in the Bible where God commands his people to kill and where he did it was for a very specific time and purpose. The over arching theme of the Bible is that we as flawed people (Genesis 3) should stop killing each other and instead love our neighbours as ourselves(Matt 4,5,6). Anyone who really believes that God somehow enjoys or needs us to kill on his behalf has a very distorted take on it. It also teaches that his kingdom (heaven) is an eternal perfect place. This world is temporary and will at some point pass away, therefore we don't need to conquer, spread his rule and law by coercion or violence (which is what Islam teaches) My point is that all religions don't teach the same thing and lumping them all together shows a very uninformed way of looking at it. [emoji106][emoji846] Just wanted to say.. Shalom Timon.

Nah! We only play British Bulldog here [emoji190] Timon.

Hi Steve. Id like to help if possible Thanks Timon.

Nice one Steve! [emoji106] Timon.

Customer wanted this oak removing. Lots of squirrel damage. Talked him into leaving the stem as a monolith. Some light rigging and my anchor was above a lot of the damage so I was a bit twitchy in it. I am fast learning that trees are (hopefully) a lot stronger than we sometimes think. [emoji106] Timon.

Any pics? What's it like in the tree? Timon.

Wasn't she one of the the Peru 2? Timon.

There is a fundamental truth that few in government are willing to grasp or admit to. The call to Jihad and territorial expansion including Islamic rule of law (shariah) are inextricable from Islamic ideology and theology. Islam in its basic form is Not a religion of peace, love and tolerance despite what people try to tell us [emoji107] Timon.

I had a mk3 with a tipping chip box. Really excellent truck. Mine got nicked so make sure you get extra security for it. Timon. -
Every week almost when the Russians test our airspace. (Ok. Strictly speaking it's the RAF). Timon.

I had to bin a TM after 3 years climbing. The webbing wore away where it passes through the lower D's. It could be avoided by periodically making slight adjustments to the length of the straps so that the friction gets spread about a bit. But still disappointing from a "top end of the market" harness. Timon.

That's right. The last person to enter the Houses of Parliament with a clear cut, honest agenda was Guy Fawkes. Timon.

I don't believe for one nano second that he really does condemn ALL terrorism. It seems like acts of terror are the currency used to get an invite to sit at his table. His inaction to address the problems of anti Semitism in his party spoke volumes. I don't believe we are seeing the "real" Corbyn at this campaign, what we are seeing is his "public representative" facade. I wouldn't trust him. Timon.
