sceptic

Not sure how you come to that assumption

certain people bring up thier children to believe what they want them to believe (despite various outside influcences) Racists will constantly jibe at people (perhaps in private, perhaps in public) in what we may see as an unacceptable manner, but this rubs off (this behavior rubs off on the kids), may be they have to conform to feel that they fit in with the family (I consider this a form of brainwashing) I also consider that this is the case with Religion

u still have not answered the question WHAT age should kids be taught this type of crap

Ken raised a point about finding out where the local terrorist organisation is to join, whilst I know Ken is being somewhat dismissive of my question or possibly even me Does he not realise that that is actually happening in parts of the world already and whilst his list is not something I would like to teach my kids from an early age, there is a need at some stage to be aware of all these issues, my point is at what age should we be teaching ur children this sort of stuff I am at a loss to see what he would calls a pro side to the kiddyporn deate though Kids as we all know are easily influenced

hope you dont mind a non advanced expert having a say But 3 Spades looks like the right call to me especially as pard may not have the club fit I would like to see and could have a weak 2 diamond or weak 2 heart bid at the ready after a 2 level bid by the opener

what is a wet back?

My issue with religion is one that, I never bothered to teach my own children anything about religion at all, and I feel that this is possibly not the best way, I also made a concious effort not to make some of my more radical views open to my kids, they probably know them as they are hard to disguise but I have never tried to force my opinions on my kids, (inadvertatly none of my children have a religious belief that I am aware of) whilst I have no interest in converting them to a religious belief, one thing I do think I have not been good at as a parent is making them aware of other peoples beliefs as I am now of the opinion that in the world as it is becoming, we all need to understand each others beliefs to become more tolerant of each other and that our own behaviours need to be adapted for modern day living i.e a good example being Muslims living in a country that does not practice or possibly recognise its religions laws and probably think some of its practices and attitudes are archaic to say the least This is not my view on politics or racism as polled

ok, I concede I do not know, but how many do you think >?

I hope I am not being offensive here, but I would like to know something, whilst I accept what you say is probally correct from your prospective, what do you teach your children as a balancing view on religion say "percentage wise" how much of other religious view points do you put into a positive light for that child to make a concious decision and where do you tell them that they need to make a decision about what religion they may want to follow of their own choice

I believe that this is true

Yes granted, but it is a serious question I am a non believer and by that I mean, I do not beleive in the existance of God, any God for that matter and I accept that people are entitled to thier beliefs and I respect that, it is their belief, even though I actually believe that the same people, if their parents were Muslims or Quakers or Jehovahs witnesses, then that is what their belief would be you see what I am trying to get at is, that children will follow in their parents footsteps, how many Muslim kids brought up, suddenly change to Judism or Catholosism aged 18. is it not fair to say once brought up in a religion then that is what you bec ome and that main point I am making is that THere is no choice for these kids, their parents make them what they are the same applies to a lesser degree with politics and perhaps more so for racist views I also disagree with Dr Todd that it is an offensive question, it is a question he may feel uncomfortable with but it is a question and that is all it is as for a dangerous suggestion, why is it a dangerous suggestion (perhaps because you do not like the possible answers) ?

Do you think the world would be a better place if adults did not contaminate thier kids with thier own views on Religion, Politics and Racism

I have a white tailor made jacket, not some cheapo striped jacket

You open the bidding 1 Club (opinions on opener please opps over call 1 spade pard bids 4 hearts what do you think of this raise to 6 hearts Dealer: South Vul: All Scoring: IMP ♠ AT965 ♥ K ♦ Q ♣ AKJ632 West North East South - - - 1♣ 1♠ 4♥ Pass 6♥ Pass Pass Pass

the unsiverse is round, it is also very small, as outside what we know of as Space is actutaly a bigger universe in which we are but a speck of dust smaller than one of their atoms prove me wrong, not in this life time I doubt everytime we find something small we find it is made of smaller stuff still and everytime we find something big, the Americans have built something bigger so in reallity the universe is just a big mixing pot of things that form into other things for lots of different reasons and on another note, no one knows if the universe is expanding, it is quite feasable that it is dying, we just do not understand the way space moves and does things, on the other hand, GOD crated everything and does not want us to know what he is up to. It is too late to worry about making a fool of myself

win the 10 clubs, and play the ace of clubs, if his holds then ruff a club with the Ace spades and play the j spades to king and pull all trumps and then play the ace hearts if west has singleton clubs, I have no idea

No, I never encountered a player who leads low from Q8 in partner's suit at trick 1. Roland Hi Roland, I am Wayne nice to meet you :(

whats wrong with 4NT

We can always try and set the record, someone open a table Marathon record attempt or something like that, just ask to sit a t the table and play when ur board you have to find a replacement for yourself and see how long you can get it to last

I heard about this on the radio in england yesterday and it is sad, he had real talent, I hope he is entertaining everyone up there now

IF I wanted to win a world championship and I stood a chance of doing it by taking brain performance enhancing drugs, I do not see why I should not be allowed to do it compare that to me havng enough money to buy the best team in the world to win a world championship Just pretend that in either case my chances of winning without doing anything were 80% and by taking performance enhancing drugs it improved my chances to 98% of winning and by buying a team it improved to 99% I think that if you can buy team mates cos you have shite loads of money then the poorer contestants should be allowed to take drugs to compensate for the disadvantage of not being able to afford the team mates of their dreams If a great player suffers from unusual amounts of stress why should they not be allowed to take calming drugs that may help them, this may then give an advantage to that player as with out drugs they could never hope to compete at that level because the stress is to great

This is not strictly true at the point of purchase, at the point of purchase people brought something they could not afford if there was a fluctuation in the market place. greedy bastards never fully explained this to them (nor did they care as long as they were getting their commisions) the sales people were quite possibly unscrupulous as are the lending institutions I think they deserve to suffer not the poor mug they tricked into a loan, they knew they could not afford if things went a bit skew wiff Greed is at fault and the solution sadly is left to the politicians who get their advice from economists that just manipulate figures to do what ever they please, I think it is quite feasable that you can pay an economist to produce figures supporting any view point you like No one has the BALLS to sort the market out because if they did, there would not be so much credit available and that is possibly the reason that no one bothered to sort it out prior to this very foreseeable event This is just my humble opinion for whats it is worth

if someone cant afford the mortagae where are they going to get the money to buy the house at auction, if they cant afford the repayments, surely they cant afford to buy the house It would appear to me you are thinking too much, there are easier ways and certainly more legal ways to earn money
