Somali Christians Beheaded for Converting from Islam
Skyrad replied to warpedskydiver's topic in Speakers Corner
A present day illustration of martyrdom for Christ. Once a person experiences a relationship with Jesus he understands that death is not an important enough reason to renounce that relationship. A present day illustration of martyrdom for Allah. Once a person experiences a relationship with Allah he understands that death is not an important enough reason to renounce that relationship. Fanatics all sound the same to me. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca -

Gag a maggot? That's a term commonly used to describe a particularly bad smell, as in: 'That could gag a maggot!'. So let's hear your tales then. What was the smell? Did you fall into an overused shitpit or something? LMAO When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

'Evil and Orwellian' – America's right turns its fire on NHS
Skyrad replied to dreamdancer's topic in Speakers Corner
The stunning stupidity of the argument expounded by Republican hysteria about healthcare is laughable. This latest indignant attitue about the NHS being allegedly ageist is gross hypocracy. They complain that its evil to deny someone who is old healthcare treatment yet support witholding healthcare treatment for the poor! Also its total rubbish, (speaking as someone who spent years working in the NHS) What a sick joke.

Thankfully we can all relax now as the swine flu pandemic is now no longer a threat. What was the cure? someone blowing in a goats horn and saying some prayer. Hey presto no more 'Mexican' flu. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090811/twl-rabbis-take-to-the-sky-to-pray-again-3cd7efd.html When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

A Letter Writing Campaign to Her Royal Majesty

I agree, I've always thought the same. Thta happened in the days when the Regiment was still annoymous and Mirbat didn't make headlines.

Their identities are being kept secret, but I can help feel that it wouldn't take a genius to spot two Uzbeki's suddenly appearing in the neighbourhood. I can just see them blending into Tralee.

Pledge of Allegiance in New Mexico schools...

Pledge of Allegiance in New Mexico schools...
Skyrad replied to masterrig's topic in Speakers Corner
Kids have always had that choice. I've never heard of a school that makes kids recite the pledge - especially in today's pc society. Freedom works both ways. If a kid is being taught that he/she shouldn't take the pledge, so be it. Like it or not, that's what America is about. Patriotism is an option that comes with freedom, not a requirerent of it. never having gone to school in the USA I've only seen the pledge on TV and in films. What was the pledge before it was revised and what is it now? Why was it revised? Also how does it work if kids don't want to make the pledge? Do they go outside the classroom, remain sitting (Presume you pledge it standing up) Would there be massive peer preasure if they didn't make the pledge? Bullying even? These are honest questions as I simply don't know. In the Uk we have never had to do such a thing.

Skyrad replied to masterrig's topic in Speakers Corner
Does it? (I'm not being funny, its a genuine question) I can understand as a adult who has a choice then it would be a display of patriotism, but as a child if you have to do it every day is it not simply something that you have to say and do in a mindless fashion. After all didn't Lind, Mc Veigh and others of their ilk say the pledge five days a week for years?

Have you done any comparisons to the US? US doctors need 4 years in Uni, 4 years in medical school, and 4 (or more) years in the hospital. That's 12 years of training (compared with 7 in the UK). In the US, the closest equivalent to the UK "doctor" is a Nurse Practitioner (4 years of Uni plus a Master's degree taking 1 or 2 years). No offense but you're talking out of your arse. In the UK its 6 years just to pass the MBBS/BSc/MBChB. Then you have to get on to a foundation course for 2 more years. Following that there is specialist training which is typically another 5 years but depending on speciality can be upto 10years if a PhD is required (Neuro for example). Nurse practitioners are exactly that and whilst they maybe good in their role they are Nurses and not Doctors. To start working in a UK hospital a Dr has therefore had two years more medical training than their US counterpart.

Ever have a look at the caliber of students who become doctors in the USA, and the amount of training our doctors have, compared with that in the UK or Australia? I'm not that familiar with Australia, but do you know what the English call the smart, motivated, hard working people--the ones who become doctors in the USA? Bankers. Good job too otherwise the worlds economy would be in shit street.... Oh , hang on a minute..
