Splendid... but I'll think I will stick with this : 1977's "Rattus Norvegicus" from the Stranglers.

Watched the wretchedly funny, and poignant, "Dead Man's Shoes" a film from 2004. Good soundtrack to this film from "Warp Records".

Here's one I came across Goaty. Just the touch of Torquemada in this costume I thought.





I wonder if it will be released before or after Dredd has been released.

Does anyone on the forum know how I can get the last piece in?

Hello Tordel, I think the crux of Beakies' argument should be on a different thread : If Beaky thinks Nazism was a part of god's plan for humanity as well, it belongs to religious debate. We will have to agree to disagree on this Tordell.

Dear Tordell,

I don't disagree with you in principle. I have the feeling you are barking up the wrong tree here with these accusations. In the final analysis, I expect someone who has a differnent or opposite belief to mine to be able to express them without jumping down my throat. If you have not noticed, I have a very, very low opinion of politicians and I'm not afraid of expressing this. If this seems patronising to anyone on the forum, that is unintentional. My contempt is reserved for politicians. Why you misconstrue this as a personal attack on the integrity of the members of this forum mystifies me. Maybe you could explain why you think I am attacking someone's personal feelings rather than discussing the contradictions inherent in a subject such as religion?

Saying the sun comes up everyday is god's will is a religious belief and not political dogma, Tordell. So is saying a woman giving birth is god's will. It may or may not be so. That is a private belief and nothing to do with politicians.
 
Beaky. This person is an accident of nature believe me.

That's not what he said or meant, he meant that the actual rape may not have been God's will, but the baby was, I happen to believe there are no 'accidental' people, once again, my opinion.

Also, I  don't think that's what Beaky was saying.  He's coming it from a view of individual rights that sees a zygote having an equal weight as an adult.  Whether he's religiously inspired to this... perspective is neither here nor there.

It's good that you actually care about life Beaky, but this is a religious view not a political one.

I suppose the politics comes into it when you take the mother out of the equation and insert demographics instead, and look at how many terminations are carried out in our society. Then it's a matter for politicians to argue over numbers, targets and cost, and not the right and wrong of it. Again whether it's right or wrong to terminate a baby is between the mother, her doctor and her god. Not for us to decide.

I respect your views Beaky, but I do not share them. The problem for me is, what you're trying to describe would probably be better off under a thread with the heading "My Religious Beliefs" rather than a thread about politics. No hard feelings but I know of a section of the Christian faith who believe blood tranfusions and so on to be against the will of God. You seem to be angling for this with your views on childbirth.

Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange" still a shocker after all these years. Though the events that "inspired" ,bad use of the word there, Burgess' novel were awful.

That sounds like a real p###take Rog from your employers. If you do complain you'll more than likely get the "if you don't want to do it I can easily find someone who will" answer. It's a horrible experience when you feel you are being taken for a ride, I know. Talking of which....

ordered 30 quids worth of music from someone on the internet 2 months ago. Did the records turn up? Nope. Did paypal get my my money back for me? Nope.
