Same as Parsifal, best of a bad bunch.

But shouldn't it be the ISIS flag? (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/fox-news-says-birmingham-muslim-only-city-run-by-shariah-law-1482942)

What about Leicester!

Despite being led by a semi-psychopathic loon who has fought off wild dog packs in eastern Europe! As well as trying to strangle James McArthur on the touchline at Palace.
and being a bunch of mis-fits, nearly was's and oldies, and being dead and buried at Christmas, Bam! Still up, get in.

For what it's worth, I think pizzaman and Pars' should get together have a drink, blow off some testosterone, admit their latent attraction is muddying the waters and get back to doing things as they are.
I for one expect a bit of odd behaviour and disagreement on a site, factions and votes will fracture things further, if one does something that pisses the other off, go to the rants and call him a knob.
All in all the site is fine, chill!

Making an Apple computer is not an innate ability of a human.
How so? Clearly humans are able to do so without outside intervention of non-humans.

Pedants Corner:
Innate is the word you wilfully ignored here, an apple tree will plough out apples while the conditions allow because it is innate, in the genes, no learning involved.

This whole nit-picking debate about what is “natural” would annoy the shit out of the cynics as it kind of proves their point, perhaps complexity would be a better word, but I dare say someone will hit the online dictionaries to disprove this.

Picking an apple to eat is natural, cooking it is a complication, another layer of naturalness maybe? Eventually the layers mount up until, to live the life you have would be impossible without a complex culture. To make a battle ship or apple-mac, takes not only umpteen more layers but generations of knowledge and shit loads of people and resources only available to a complex society.

Therefore the more layers of complexity the less “natural”, nowhere more so than in social life where the wealth and power, is not about having a few more apples and a bigger club, but a whole system that nurtures, encourages and protects the wealthy and powerful, so that some wizened up scrote’ can take my apples from me because he has an army.

Jroa, lend me a gun.

No Bro', you are correct, this is a world of make believe, current research indicates that belief systems are less of a thought out process,  more of pick and mix to suit your needs.
Apparently there are some people out there who believe the whole kit & caboodle was made by an all encompassing sky being?

The exposure settings needed to give clarity to the earth in the pictures would not pick up the fainter stars, to pick them up you would have a completely white'd out earth, basic camera knowledge surely?

Brilliant.

MAD has a fucked up logic that seems to work in a world that is relatively stable and on the up, but we are seeing signs that it may not always be so.
Increasing nationalism, overpopulation, the proliferation of religious intolerance coupled with a really serious pandemic or a big natural disaster that destabilised a major region and we could be back to the mad Max state of dark ages Europe. If some end of days cult hero of the future gets their hands on them, boosh! Limit them and work seriously to stop proliferation.

I know this is futile as far as bickles is concerned, but it is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Belsen, see http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/bergen-belsen-70th-anniversary-nazi-concentration-camp-liberation-graphic-images-1496549
I don't get how, as has been said before, that if the Jews are so powerful, this happened.
I suppose he will say it's some kind of concealment for the future state of Israel , but it hasn't stopped the world from criticising what they helped happen at Sabra & Shatila, their actions in the west bank and Gaza.
Anyway it's worth having a look just to see what we can do to each other when this sort of drivel is believed.
