Breaking News - Allegedly 10 people killed at office of satirical magazine in Paris

That was to Bags.

I have never bullied you, jings, and you told me to sod off on at least one occasion. The first time I was quite upset. My use of bollocks is for emphasis. it isn't directed at anyone.

Anyroad, the Mayor of Rotterdam is speaking to bullies so, on your own argument, you have no cause for complaint.

thatbags, I think that you are bright enough to know that you may never be properly free.

Why won't she soontobe?

This is tragically and so wrongly getting far too personal. What a shame.

IMO and based entirely on the quote, Dan Hodges is an idiot.

And pompous with it.

Because there is no freedom, true freedom, on earth or below earth or above earth.
Where could she go? Where can anyone go?

I worked this out decades ago. One small reason why I gave in to God.

Well, that's shut everyone up hasn't it?

And it was a bit pompous!

Well I am not prepared to deny the existence of free will, is anybody else? Are our lives entirely pre-ordained? Without free will there can be no sin or redemption as we are not the architects of our fate.
And what on earth (pardon the bad pun ) do you mean by on Earth, or below earth or above Earth??

The tosh quotient is getting out of hand here Are we rational, intelligent beings or not?

To return to Christianity for those who are believers,wasn't Jesus sent to set us free?
Getting close to heresy, soontobe!

Jut how many angels can dance on a pin?

Coming from someone who is free to practise her religion and free to publicly talk about it whenever and wherever to then tell us there is no true freedom is completely illogical.

Neither do I appreciate you telling another poster, you think they are bright enough nor your pompous remark regarding what you worked out decades ago.

AGUS who are you referring to, why not be bold enough to say who you are addressing your remarks to. Don"t think there are that many mind readers on G/N

Probably to much to ask , Hey-Ho

I thought it was pretty obvious nonu given that agus quoted from the post in question, so not too obscure or hard to work out to whom the remark was addressed.

Wow! What have I stumbled into? Any hoo, I wondered if any one was aware that a Canadian muslim by the name of Jerry Reddick has decided to push the boundaries of free speech and post jokes about the holocaust? Just when you thought bad taste had reached an all time low. His twitter account has been taken down, and he has been arrested. At least nobody was killed for it I hear some utter.
On the same news site I was on, I read that a prominent jewish Rabbi has requested that EU legislation be reconsidered to allow Jewish community members to carry guns. Just to protect themselves and their property. Where is this going to end?

biting my tongue

Well SOUTRA is not PRETTY OBVIOUS to me.Perhaps AGUS would like to name names . Cannot think why she doesn"t

So glad you stepped in , as per. HOWEVER , am still mystified , not nice to be ambiguous IMO.

Firstly NONU, will you please refrain from SHOUTING

There was nothing obscure in my post that surely it was obvious to whom I was referring.

It,appears it was too much to ask of you so, point taken and I will endure to make my posts much clearer for you in future.

To clarify Nonu I was referring to soontobe.

HTH

Firstly I am not shouting, why would I?

I am afraid I do think your post was obscure , I have no earthly idea to whom you were referring , why don"t you name names .

I appreciate your effort in trying to make your posts clearer in the future

Agree Riverwalk. Reading that back, that was pompous.

Nonu I think the generally accepted convention is that keying in caps equates to shouting.

I was really agreeing with Mishap that there is physically nowhere to go.

Yes we have free will Soutra, but we are not really free.
Not sure if that was hereisy. I dont know the true meaning of the word. Plus which I was going to look up what the bible says about free stuff tomorrow.

We are set free from the devil I think. Again, more to look up tomorrow.

Give me pomposity over murder any day.

Not that I agree Hodges' article is pompous. Direct and incisive, I'd call it.
