    Lets Pray

    I think you'll find that Paul actually told the Corinthians never to put a sock in a toaster according to Eddie Izzard (and that's the version I prefer!) But seriously it seems to me that regardless of what one believes there are some obvious conclusions which can be drawn: 1) We can never have knowledge of a being such as God so it is daft to try and work out what he can and cannot know etc 2) The Bible was written by fallible humans...oh, I mean men... who were almost certainly quoting the Almighty using their finite little brains etc and powers of communication and probably also various other personal human agenda and bias 3) We know the Bible is not true anyway because God is really Alannis Morisette and when she talks to you, you are in no position to write diddly squat because your head explodes. There endeth the lesson. Sock, anyone?
  2. If it helps at all I can tell assuredly you that I am pretty happy not to carry a gun and so are all me pals here in Blighty..............most of us look upon SO19 (armed response police) with some degree of sympathy especially since the poor buggers are pretty much suspended and investigated every time they DO shoot someone.
  3. I agree. I have lived in the UK all my life (28 years in London) and am a criminal lawyer. I have never needed a gun, known anyone that's needed a gun and at 2 years qualified have never even represented someone who has carried a replica (although it's becoming more common). You guys over the pond must have more sophisticated crims than we do because my clients seem to favour things like hammers and snooker balls in socks.......too many moving parts in a gun methinks............
  4. Speaking as another lawyer (albeit an English one) I would say that even just as a friend I consider it part of my job to let my friends know what I think. I expect them to let me know what they think especially if I am going about with my head up my arse. But I also think that once you have said it you have to not harp on and let them do their thing without commenting. If it goes tits up then it's your job as a friend to be there to pick up the pieces (within reason of course). Anyway if I were you I'd get used to clients taking f*** all notice of your advice even if that results in them being banged up!! You know what they say about good advice being useless.......!
