  1. oh come on frog, you can do better than that did you miss my deliberate use of the word "relatively" christianity in the western world is by most measures a dwindling force dredging up individual instances of christian fuelled incidents is failing to see the forest for the trees btw talk to an irishman about the current prestige and power of the catholic church in ireland.....it is disintegrated at a rate of knots
  2. simplistic stereotyping may not be helpful in an argument but neither are arguments of equivalency if you follow through on an argument of equivalency you could argue that we may as well let criminals migrate here because we already have our own home-grown criminals which of course is ridiculous just saying
  3. you are correct that it is "organised religion" that is a problem, as easily attested by history and your examples all organisations as they grow become more interested in power and wealth and its attendant corruption. Organised religion is no different. an even bigger problem with religious organisations is fundamentalism i would argue (and you might disagree) that christianity in the western world is largely becoming more benign relatively speaking these days, with more and more adherents becoming non-practicing or non-believers. Contrastingly some non-christian religions appear to have a growing fundamentalist component. This gets somewhat conflated wihen the line between religion and state gets blurred
  4. but the argument might be (not saying i'm one) that because of his age (and possibly the mess we were) he couldn't do both

  9. you're right jnr, i remember all those arguments over the footy record and numbers if we do get names i supposes it raises the question of do we need numbers + names could we add names and do away with numbers?
  10. well i was thinking navy blue (with maybe a little red), but i do agree red shorts aren't the nicest look
  11. i don't have a problem with it, but players with long names might be problematic
  12. LOL - can't wait to see "Rochford Devenish-Meares"
  13. looking at that picture reminds me of one aspect of clash outfits - SHORTS The NRL the A-League (and others) allow non white shorts for the "light coloured" clash strips as too this picture shows one of my problems with afl clash strips is the insistence on white shorts when you couple this with a predominately white jumper the overall result is more like caspar the ghost i would (grudgingly admittedly) give a bit of ground on clash strips if we had the option of coloured shorts opinions?
  14. ok he's not managed by Pickering
