    Children & Religion

    :D I like 5 and 12 best Libre, your comments just made me realise that I have no idea what your thoughts are on organised Religion (though perhaps I can make a few guesses ;) ) so why don't you set up a thread in the mature section? Please? It might spark some discussion.

    Children & Religion

    The following statements about the Bible were written by children and have not been retouched or corrected (i.e., bad spelling has been left in.): 1)In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, God got tired of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off. 2)Adam and Eve were created from...

    Nobel Prize in Literature 2006

    I'll go for; Ryszard Kapuscinski Amos Oz The first because Shah of Shahs has been sitting on my desk since July and the second because he is my current read. So yes, I've really thought my choices through. Of course if a miracle should occur and they give it to Ishiguro, then drinks are...

    Reporting from Lebanon

    Hello Samerron, I'm glad you've made it home, I know how anxious you were to get back. If the rest of your generation are even half as patriotic and mature as you, then I'm sure Lebanon will be back to it's best in no time. Oh and welcome back to the forum too :) .

    Help with a passage in "Three men in a boat"

    I read this a few years ago (and adored it) but I don't really recall how the passages you've mentioned relate to the story as a whole. I think it's available online, so I'll try and have a read, but if in the meantime someone else sheds some light on it then please let me know, I'd love to...

    Michel Faber: The Apple (New Crimson Petal Stories)

    I was really looking forward to this one, but it sounds like a huge disappointment. Separating Mr. Bodley from Mr Ashwell is just plain wrong, and no closure on the whole what happened to Sugar thing is frustrating. Ah well, thanks for the review anyway.

    Obesity - the win-lose situation

    Most of the schools in my area have done that. But my nephews tell me that the kebab shop down the road from their school is now doing excellent afterschool business. Which is why I think education starts at home. Kids should be allowed to eat the junk - but proportionately, not every day and...

    Secrets

    It's good you got it out in the open. If you're paranoid about something then there's usually a good reason for it. As long as he makes known to all internet girlies that he's crazy about you all is fine, if he doesn't then you may want to kick his arse :D .

    Gay Parents

    I too don't see why gay couples can't adopt or use surrogates. One of the core problems was the stigma associated with having gay parents - but society has adapted and is much accepting now (well..at least in some places and in comparison to days gone by). All good questions. And if I...

    Secrets

    Hello Catalyst, Hmmm..I don't think it would bother me to be honest, but if it was coupled with changes in his behaviour or attitude then I would talk it out. I would perhaps just generally bring up the topic of chat rooms and porn sites, and his reaction would probably determine my own...
