Crime in England compared to America
We don't have the same gun laws...

Crime in England compared to America
Yeah. Purple pensioners tends to be as shocking as it gets around me too. Though the occasional murder happens a little further afield. Most regular thing appears to be drug busts and it's almost always weed farms.

Judge Jury and Executioner. It's not a bad song or anything. Just not as good as the rest.

I remember when Rovers were interested in Honda. A year after all the hype died down.

Getting to know you (The Cping interviews)
When's the deadline for getting questions in Anette? And how many more do we need? I've already submitted mine but more asking generally.

Crime in England compared to America
It's certainly not the case that every city has places like that. There's plenty of gangs but it isn't no go areas which would lead to death. Like I said, more theft. Certainly plenty of places to feel threatened and you'd feel like you were going to be attacked, but whether you would is another matter. I'd be shocked if it was like that in my country.

There were be some places (there's certainly notorious areas) but it's rarely a case of threat of getting killed. Far more likely robbed.

Vinyls would be nice.

Insane and frantic. As opposed to its usual state of inane and pedantic.

Then you are still wrong. It's hard to be incorrect about your own opinion but you have managed it.

Seems like a healthier headspace to be in. In the long term (as in for the rest of your life), would you be happy to believe in something in order to save your belief in God, even if you had massive doubts about those beliefs? Or do you think you'd be able to push it to the back of your mind and maintain the belief without entirely interacting with it, just in case it was to crumble under too much scrutiny?

Crests of Daylight/Glacial Fox/Crests, Foaming at the Mouth
I remember last time the two of us were talking regularly you were starting to enter into some of the debates more and sgaribg your opinions and you seemed like you were changing, in a good way. Not to say that what you were changing from wasn't good. Just people do tend to change. It's not really something you can answer though so yeah.

After death
That's very strange because nothing I have ever seen implies a God. Of course this doesn't rule out there being one. But nothing I've seen places a God as more likely than no God. If you see Christianity as man made, which parts do you feel that the current manifestation of whichever denomination you follow are currently correct, and which ones are not, or are unproven? How would you define a God if you believe a relationship with it is real? Once again you don't have to answer these questions.

London only. I shan't be seeing them then. Are you still of the opinion that Ingenue is the weakest song on Amok?

What have you learned today?
Good question. It did not stipulate. It would make sense that it was people who were born deaf, or became deaf in their early years - age 4 is typically when children become aware of their inner speech, although it is uncertain as to whether this reflects their inability to reflect on their own thought processes, or the fact that inner speech is not yet fully internalised by that age.
-
What have you learned today?
Reading an article on Vygotsky and inner monologue. When deaf people speak to themselves they use sign language.

After death
That's not me forcing you to share such things of course. Just a statement of fact with regards to myself.
-
What have you learned today?
I straightened out a misconception I had about something I'd not really thought about before thanks to a little reading. Given that life expectancy 150 years ago in my country was around 40 years on average, I had always presumed that plenty of 40 year olds were dying and it was something of a rarity to see somebody above that age when compared to now. I had of course been blind to the increased rates of infant deaths (naturally I knew about them but hadn't factored them into the average life expectancy). I now know that even in the ancient times, outside of a time when a specific disease was terrorising society, if you lived past childhood, you had a good chance of living into your seventies and beyond. Obvious when you read it but not something I'd actively considered enough to draw that conclusion.

Indeed. But there must be something behind such faith. And that intrigues me just as much as the explanation of what happens.

Cancer: Curable?
Yeah, it's awesome. And the OP mentioning anti-oxidants was the deciding factor in me posting. Well, actually it was the first post by somebody else expressing doubt haha, but I had been lingering in for ages thinking it looked fishy. I just don't have the time to read it all and knock someone down on things when it's something so complex though.
