The Arab poisoned spring. Heil Kapital!

I simply point out that the C of E is established only in England. It is not established in the other countries, other than Cornwall. That is simply fact.

BRITAIN is NOT, NOT, NOT 'an Anglican state'. I think it is very rude to ignore what you are told.

I wish people would learn about the UK, while it is still there. The Episcopalian C of E is the established church in ENGLAND; the Presbyterian Church of Scotland is established on a slightly different basis there; 'Wales' and Northern Ireland have no established churches. How would you decide if a country is Christian anyway? The US is officially not, yet the majority claim to be, yet the actions of the Country are resolutely anti. Cameron is trying to gain a few votes by lying: what's new?

The Russian 'sphere of influence' was violated by political clowns, anxious to take over the world. Won't happen.

Why have elections? Well, obviously, because otherwise the control of the State by the thieves would be obvious enough to cause comment or even opposition, God forbid! We want happy serfs, see!

Not all the people of Taiwan consider themselves Chinese or speak Gwo Yeu, honestly!

Don't knock the paintings. If he'd stuck with that he might not have become a war criminal. Bliar, on the other hand, was useless from the start, as he still is: he can't do anything but lie.

I think that, traditionally, women have been more tied down, and therefore more likely to continue in the beliefs handed to them, and that the incredibly slow process of female liberation accounts for the glacier-like nature of change in this pattern , In one particular denomination, I'd guess that the buggering of children by 'celibate' priests has turned not a few women off what they preach, incidentally.

It is just an attempt by 'the West' to take over some of Russian capitalism's territory, the usual old capitalist rubbish. People here are getting bored with this game.

They might actually represent us, the only British, on the bloody thing, but they hate 'Welsh' people, and if Scotland goes we are not likely to stay long.

If anyone supposes any state is going to welcome armed enemies next door, they must be CIA employees earning their crust.

Why are more women religious? It is a hangover from the old 'Kurche, Kinder, Kutchen' programming (sorry if the spelling's wrong - don't know German, though my Wife can speak it in the 'gegin' as we call the kitchen, in between putting me right on higher maths). In male-bossed religion there are, however, quite powerful forces making for women's leaving the guff behind.

The Crimea was Russian, and is inhabited by Russians. If you try to organise a fascist putsch in another country's sphere of interest, better make sure you have the fire-power to back your bullying.

On the 'showering together' point, this was, I believe, quite normal in the Zionist kibbutzim in Palestine - they were all to exhausted to be bothered about sex, let alone gender. On RAF squarebashing, similarly exhausted, we used to believe they were putting something in our tea.

The Crimeans want to re-join Russia, to which they have always belonged. Do all you strange persons worship Kruschev? Why, for goodness sake?

Mighty - Good point about the phlogiston. I was brought up by a parson and an atheist (two persons) however, and find it difficult, now, to believe that anyone really believes in theism, as opposed to finding it either comforting or profitable to pretend to. I need greater faith, evidently!

Yes - 'the West' plotted to grab the Ukraine cheap (they clearly wouldn't allow it into the EU, any more than they would Turkey), using the local Nazis to overthrow the elected President. Putin stood up to them, and they're not used to it, are they?

It seems to me that define yourself as an atheist is to accept your opponent's terminology, a good excuse for a fight, but not a rational approach. People once believed that fires were caused by an element called 'phlogiston'. We don't believe that anymore, but we don't define ourselves as 'anti-phlogistonists'. Women feel less need to have aimless punch-ups, I expect.

I used rich as a synonym, obviously. Capitalists rule, and they are the people who control the government, industry and the media in their own interests, gradually reducing the rest of us to total poverty, as you know.

I didn't describe the Ukraine as Nazi, which would be meaningless. The point is that the EU putsch there is heavily backed by Nazis, as you know.

If Marx isn't honestly taught, what is the point? If Marx is honestly taught the capitalists will stop it. End of story.

The rich rule. In some countries they aren't strong enough to bully, so they are liberal; in others, they control the media but have to cope with residual democracy and are out to destroy it; in yet others they are in control, the Nazis. What's your problem here?

I would describe the current UK Government as very extreme right, devoted to outright class war, and the union ban at GCHQ was under American pressure. I write, and it is rubbed out, again and again. Why?

Any fool can get rich by gambling with other people's money, which the already-rich can do easily. If they lose, they are no worse off, and can instead spend their time using their media telling us that anyone can be rich. Poor education (they won't pay for better) allows them to get away with this, while the mugs applaud.
