Vespasian

Islam isn't a race, its a religion.. you can not be a racist to Muslims/Islam... Further, we have every right to speak out about immigration, the shemales of society might think otherwise but they're wrong.. so what is it that makes Matelot a racist?... Virtue signalling, the expression of moral values with the intent to improve social standing in the group... Usually practiced by by men to the left of a woman's natural empathy profile.. oft seen practiced by men hiding behind woman at Antifar protests.. Weak Men fighting for a woman's attention through the use of empathy rather than through a show of force.. able to provide and defend..

In a word yes, but the danger is Europe comes to its senses after we leave.. were does that leave us?... out of the worlds largest trading block just when they are more accommodating to our interests... the worst of both worlds...

hahaha I'm on the cusp WesD.... I'm just waiting to get a sense of the changing zeitgheist within Europe.. I expect that to be showing signs over the next year or two... if Europe doesn't get its act together I'll be as rabidly anti European as the next man... They have a year and half at most to start producing signs or they're done...

No, I've no interest in going but I had a good time hunting it down, that is to my satisfaction.. No, Timon its in Jerusalem.. or was in Jerusalem. The Romans destroyed it when they destroyed the Temple. You can thank my namesake Vespasian for that.. Oh and the Temple isn't were people think it was, The temple mount was a Roman garrison in olden times... The Temple was to one side of the Roman garrison just above the Gihon spring.. look on google earth for the location of the Gihon Spring and you have the location of Eden..

Unless your aunt Beryl lives in Israel, you might be a few miles out...

Over the years I've wondered where the Garden of Eden might be.... over the years I've tried to figure it all out but without any great success.. then over the last couple of years a couple of pieces of the jigsaw fell into place and now I know exactly were it was within a few metres.. mind due, for the most part its not recognizable as such these days.. the Romans saw to that..

You can start by measuring like with like... How are crime stats measured in Germany? are they any different than how they're measured in Britain?.. I came across some research that suggest the levels of mistrust rise in society when immigrants/strangers are introduced.. What does that tell us?.. well, it can tell us that introducing immigrants isn't good if you aim to have a stable happy society... Lets look at Britain's immigration system, before mass migration we were more than comfortable when it came to joining the EU.. Look what happened after that witch Merkel caved like a coward and let in all those immigrants no one wanted.. Britain voted to leave the EU.. Merkel's cowardice has resulted in an unhappy continent.. Britain leaving Europe is obvious evidence of that.. Cowardice masquerading as a virtue is an evil if your asking me.. and thats what Merkel is, evil.. Because that witch was afraid to confront that dog in Turkey, Erdogan she instead let all those economic migrants in who were lying in wait around the ports of the Med... And if there is a populist movement in Europe, its no thanks to the cowards from the hard left who accuse any dissenting voice of belonging to that of a racist... well, we've had enough of it.. Britain had enough of it, Europes had enough of it.. Now, will Merkel do the decent thing and get down in that bunker?...

Timon I was once a Christian Timon.. But for the most part I was a self taught Christian... Never went to church but ruminated on the subject constantly.. Which being a lonely exercise led me to develop my own philosophy on the Christianity... For instance, Jesus died for our sins. Couldn't give a monkeys about that.. Jesus walked on water?... made up crap to impress a gullible audience... and on and on and on... So what did I make of the story.. I came to the conclusion that the story was about bravery, sacrifice and redemption.. Bravery.... A willingness to fight for for the truth.. To suffer the slings and arrows. Sacrifice.... To give everything you have, even to the extent of your life if you're fighting to bring light into the world/truth.. The death on the cross... Redemption... you might suffer and die, but your character can never be destroyed.. your name will be honored long after your passing.. Didn't take much after that to get to thinking it doesn't even matter if Jesus was real or not, all I need are the lessons from the story.. Sorry Village Idiot I wanted to get my story in, I know Timon loves this sort of stuff...

I sense a problem... God knows that six million souls will go down in a gas chamber... yet does doesn't lift a finger, or, planned it in the first place..

Yea, I get your point, but I can't ever remember the Numbsculls, if I ever came across them it must of been in some fleeting way... My point was, I did see a slide of them last night late on, and not twenty four hrs later you brought up the same imaginary on this forum.. Remember the story about thinking of an old friend and then some hrs later the friend turns up?.... well, this is the same thing.. You could of brought up the numbsculls any number of times over the past couple of weeks, but only after I'd come across an image of them did you post on here something I had seen not a full day before.... I think there is more than chance at play here.. What about that nightmare I had?... I was all set to post up a new thread about that but put it aside, as something told me a thread about dreams would be posted in the forum in due time.... I couldn't imagine the thread I was thinkin on was posted within two weeks of me letting the hands of fate take the reigns... I mean perhaps it is chance, but perhaps its not... all I know is sometimes things look a little too fishy for my liking...

Nearly had an accident with mine some years back.. tractor driven hydraulic affair.. pushing in the lever with one hand, guiding the log with the other hand.. I miscalculated the time to get my hand out the way and found my hand trapped betwixt the log and the chopper/knife or what ever it is they're called.... my hand was trapped just enough I couldn't pull it free.. Trouble is I'm now in something of a panic and have forgotten which way the lever went to bring the ram backwards... I think I was stood there a minute or two before I could calm myself down and think straight on the subject... luckily I chose the right way to get the ram back... I never used the thing after that, sold it soon after and now use an axe.... but I only chop my own firewood... When I saw those two handed affairs they have these days, my immediate reaction was along the lines of contempt for H/S, but then I reflected and went a bit quiet...

haha I like it.. Speaking of the Numskulls, I spent an hr n half last night watching a lecture by Susan Greenfield, a prominent writer on the psychology of the brain.. one of her slides was a pic of the Numbsculls... got me thinking of my youth for a minute.. Isn't it odd that I was taken with that slide and subliminally changed that to Monkey's in an earlier post, and you brought the cycle back on itself by bringing us back to the Numbsculls.. Is there something going on? or was that chance?....

hahaha sort of on the right path, as it happens for years I've struggled with the feeling that theres more to life than the obvious.. that in some unknown way we are as connected to the earth as much as we're connected to our culture say.. a hidden missing something that we can't quite put our fingers on.. sometimes I imagine its to do with electricity, what with the brain using electricity to connect the neurons and the spinning of the earth producing a giant magnetic field that surrounds the earth.. I couldn't for the life of me wonder how that might be possible but at least its something to hang onto... In olden times feeling like this might of been expressed as religious beliefs.. but I'm not convinced its anything to do with that.. my own feeling on the matter are that these things might better be explained by science.. it might be said that these feeling are the result of delusion, and I couldn't argue with that.. But none the less, I feel it and as such I want to investigate it.. This free will thing being related in some way is why I've taken an interest in the subject.. its not that I'm really interested in free will so much. More that I might find evidence of this hidden unknown as I rake over its coals... for instance, might it be that the mind is seeing future events on those brain scans and not preparing the mind to act?.. the first thing the inquiring mind aught do is question evidence, ask if evidence has been misinterpreted... In summation, not so much a seed as a re-awakening... I've got a couple of other marbles wrackling my head as well.. it would be nice if I could work on one problem at a time, unfortunately there's a bunch of monkeys in there all fighting for attention...hahaha

sounds like the fella knows what he's talking about to me.. not sure were pantheism comes into it... anyways why I popped in.... always nice to get a refresher to remind oneself whats being got at.. trouble with free will is you think on it for an hr or two and get it all, and half hr later it goes away again.. I keep telling myself that it doesn't matter as its not really a subject that concerns me in any great way.. But it keeps popping back in my mind making me think it really does matter, or aught matter.... anyways a short vid i came across to give some people a refresher, only ten minutes long...

and now you're not confused.....

You're very boring

and you have zero sense of humor..

I might not always be right, but I'm never wrong... Take it from me when I open my mouth/spout on the internet.. I AM NEVER WRONG.... if, you imagine I'm wrong, then you must look to your faults and see if you can become like me.. to be right all the time....

Do I?.. I read google news, I watch utube vids..,.

Do you get on a plane and choose who's gonna be flying you to your destination?.. or do you put faith in a pilot who's spent years training to be a pilot?.. You put your faith in the pilot.. because the truth is you know it makes sense if you value your life... Much the same thing applies to everything we do, but in the case of brexit we put reason aside and acted on our emotions, much like a naughty child that can't have its own way... If, the people had acted on reason, then the result would be different... and thats another truth.. The conclusion being we have made a mistake.. the problem now, how to make things right?. David Davies tells Europe they can't cherry pick whats in a trade deal.... The donkey imagines its in charge.. When's May's next cabinet reshuffle?... I can't wait to see the back of this liar..

You mean there are some "experts" who think brexit is a good idea.. I think you'll find the consensus is against. As to doing better than expected, well first off, we didn't invoke article 50 for a year, and when we did attempt to get down to brass tacks we came unstuck straight away.. look what happened to the Irish Border issue.. and its only been kicked down the road.. what happens if we come up against that when it matters?...

Oh, thank you very much..

You think I read somethin or watch somethin and think,,,Oh that sounds plausible that'll do me?... No, I spent years ruminating on subjects like free will, well not so much on free will to be honest but on a loads of related subjects.. and it doesn't matter to me if I understand what free is or isn't.. I'll be going about my business much as I always have whether I look into it or not.... My own thoughts on life are much as Shakespeare's..all the worlds a stage and we each play our part.. I'm quite content to play my part in my own unfolding drama and all else be damned...

Right, were was I?.... Yea, the truth.. no matter what you believe or do, if any decisions are based on anything other than the truth, then your falling into error... I base my life on truth to be honest.. and I don't hide from it if it upsets me.. people communities and nations can use the same principles to build their societies.. If they wont be guided by truth, then they're gonna fall into ruin.. Brexit is a lie..its not good for us as a nation, the lies are the start of the beginning of the end.. listen to experts and base your plans on what they have to say... not on some gut feeling you have were you think you might be right... Oh an skyhuk, enjoyed watching that vid...

They should be at home then, instead of being dragged off by their coward parents who would rather run away than fight for something they believe in at home.. sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind...
