I watched Question Time last night as I like to see MP's put on the spot.
What I saw was Neil Hamilton taking the micky out of himself which is a quality I like to see within people but not within politics, as politics is what they would do for us and not making a joke out of themselves.
Claire Perry's passion but you have to know when to curb passion and let others talk, as when you do, you can see their flaws in their inability to answer a direct question truthfully and honesty and show themselves up rather than yourself.
Angela Eagle left me wanting to kill myself, she looked sad and miserable being on the program.
So the two that stood out for me and showed total conviction in what they said were Jeremy Browne and David Dimbleby.
I love listening to music of all different genres for different reasons.
I often find myself listening to music that hits something within me either a musician within the music or the singers voice. Then I find myself really appreciating the song for what bit it gives me.
I believe we all get something out of some songs.
Other songs we just like as a reminder of a time past or present.
I am asking about those ones you always find yourself enjoying for no other reason just purely for the talent in the artist within the music.
So would like to ask what artist and what bit of that performance gives you those thoughts of appreciation?
Which bit do you like?
I have many but will start with.
Samba Pa Ti - Carlos Santana - just listening to the way the guitar sings within it.
The new current affairs forum and topical debate.
I was looking down the list of threads and it seem they all err towards current affairs mostly.
Often I have thought about staring just a fun thread but I wouldn't know where to put it.
Does this mean in general people here are more serious and want to talk about real issues about life and a bit of a laugh and the fun is left to the chat rooms now days?
I have faith but isn't attached to any god. I have faith people knowing and believing what is right for them that is within the law. I don't believe the law is perfect but together that can be changed. You can not change the writing of the religious text as I believe has been proven before without admitting it is written by man. Law we all know is written by man so can be changed by man.
Religion I believe only causes the division of humanity and the questioning and guilt by its own followers of how they should behave or something to hid behind the name of, for acts against humanity.
I do however know many like a place within a community whereby people can go and feel safe, supported, accepted and make friends. I think they should be more along the lines of humanity meeting places than a place to worship a god. We should worship humanity and all the diversity within that it can teach us all.
So in answer to your question I don't see how any religious beliefs can ever really be justified with being here while married, being gay, and many other things. That is why we make a choice in following the teachings or not I would have thought. We go by them or our own gut morality and belief in knowing what is right for us and withn the law surely.
Hi All,
I was online earlier and my connection was fine until going into the chatrooms. My pc started to go into overdrive which often happens on here when going into the rooms and everything can lock up for a while which results in me getting a disconnection and reconnection message appear here. But tonight it completely shut down my pc into a crash dump. This also happened on here to a friend yesterday.
Has anyone else had this problem my friend thought it could be his pc but after it happened to me I find it a bit concerning. I never have problem on other websites although this is the only I chat in chat rooms on. and msn have been fine and stable.
Would anyone know what can cause this and why it seems it might only happen here in the chatrooms?
When I am here online and not in chat everything is fine.
Thanks
Minx
I have no formal knowledge about anything. I let life and my personal experiences give me the knowledge I require. When I want to know something I ask and when I need to know how to do something I find out how to do it.
I have passions about a lot of things in life which drives me to find out more.
But I wouldn't confess to having expert knowledge about anything and I always believe there is something about it you might never know, that you don't know yet that you don't know as you just haven't discovered it yet. If that makes sense.
So always happy to learn and discover more and keep my mind open to gain knowledge in many areas.
Is the government flouting it’s own rules and making people work 30 hours a week in a profitable organisation like Poundland for £50 job seekers allowance just the same as slave labour?
I supported the idea to get people that claim job seekers to work for their money, I was for the government placing them within charities or getting them to do community based jobs where by they help to look after their community in some way.
However I am dead against them being placed in profitable companies and the tax payer paying their wages. Which I believe is denying people a paid job within the company and helping the company save money and make larger profits.
My son has recently finished his degree and trying to get into the industry he has been trained to do. He has actively been seeking work and has even taken a few expenses only jobs in his specialist line of work to help put a portfolio together which he can present to any potential employer in the future.
He has been told he can’t do this by the benefits office even if he gets letters stating the job was an expenses only role. He has been told he can only work 30 hours a week unpaid with companies on their books only or they will stop his claim.
This seems madness to me. He is out of the house with traveling time 40 hours a week and has to prove he is actively seeking work which he is doing at night.
I am not being biased because of my son, the government is seems are encouraging students to stay on and get degrees and debt but are not supporting them by then placing them in places like poundland.
The government, have been saying we are supporting our 18-25 year olds.
Is encouraging our youngest to get a degree and debt then making them work 30 hours a week for £50 a week really helping our future generations really believe we are doing the best for them?
As a tax payer I am dead against the government using my money to support the work force of profit making organisations.
I Wonder if I am alone thinking this way?
Star read this does it sink in anywhere?
"Well-meaning residents who leave food out for urban foxes - attracting them to back gardens - have been urged to stop treating the animals as pets after a baby boy had his finger bitten off."
Although would you still wait for a law to be passed?
Or still blame all the neighbours for leaving bags of rubbish out for weeks on end?
:therethere:
if you read this but thank you as you made me never want to go back to be taught in the institution that we call formal education and to gain the qualifications that I would be judged on.
