Possibly interesting fact

Rosalind Franklin was a woman who worked to find the structure of DNA. Unfortunately after her death three men claimed that the study was undertaken by them. Fortunately Rosalind was recognize after her death but only in some quarters.

Re: Abortion

A difficult subject. We can only manage it the best way we can. If we can all be responsible regarding producing children and only abort - if that is the right word - when absolutely necessary then that would be the best option. It is possible the Catholic church do want to recruit people for themse...

Re: Many avowed believers don't believe

I tend to believe to some extent what peterangus says and that is that the religious leaders do not really believe. Okay they say they believe but I could say that I am young and pretty. If they really believed then it wouldn't matter if people killed each other, aborted babies, did mercy killings e...

Re: Why are some thoughtful people vegetarian and others not?

Hello Tom You got here then. Actually there is no need to not have some animals about the place even if they are not used for meat. We don't usually eat horses these days and there are charities to look after them so there could be parks and things for sheep etc. That is not to say that Alan C isn't...

Re: Nice New Spread

I don't know Grimsby I am afraid. You could try Holland and Barrat or you could seek out a shop which specialises in special diets such as gluten and egg free they often do vegetarian, vegan and organic products too.

Failing that if you have any beans left over that can go on bread too

Re: Mock baptisms.

Oh dear oh dear. Bring back my school of the 1950's Okay it was a state school which encourged Christianity but at least it wasnn't vulgar. And if you are feeling weak at the thought of circumcison in the Jewish sense you will pass out totally if you start thinking of female circumscision. Role play...

Re: The dilemma of ethical clothing at Primark

You may like to visit the Vegetarian Site Tom if you have not already done so. There fis a company called GreenFibres if anyone wants to look it up. I heard that Fair Trade only helped those involved but made it ten times worse for those who aren't but how do we know what is true or not just by list...

Re: Working with teenagers

I managed to find what the BHA said about vegetarianism and this is fine so I think what they said about other things is fine too. It must be difficult when people post comments to know what to do but I daresay putting things in the dump is one way of dealing with stuff. Think Humanism can't be accu...

Re: Working with teenagers

I'm a bit sceptical about things being moved unless they are very rude. Maybe what you moved was very long. There is something called brainstorming which says that all contributions should stand without criticism or comment. A bit difficult I agree but sometimes its the weird things that come in mos...

Organic and the Soil association

Some of us like Holland and Barratts and some of us don't and some of us like them some of the time. One thing I have discovered is that they do not allways know what organic is and think it just means GM Free. Mind you it can be difficult getting organic anyway. Can anyone tell me is the Soil Assoc...

Re: Existence and the HVG

Well we've got that cleared up then. Looks like we have a nice group. One of the problems of having a development worker is that they do tend to develop things so we may have a Transgender group at some point maybe. I think most people who use this site only see vegetarianism as a choice and those o...
