Naomi, It hadn't occurred to me that you were not previously a participant in the 'anticipation' thread. I would have sworn . . .
So how did the research go? Or if you prefer I'll look for your results over there . . . or perhaps (unlike certain other busy bodies) I should mind my own fuсking business . . . is nothing sacred?

Naomi, as to your question, I'm afraid all I have to spare at the moment is a postcard . . .
In regards to evaluating the human species; is justice served by equivocating those who (either implicitly or explicitly) have embraced their evolutionary virtue of reason and those who with contempt for their humanity have devolved into the only species with a capacity to despise its own nature and pursue, worship, and glorify nonexistence?
I have often debated myself on the question of the �good intentions� of the majority/minority. I believe that my belief that humanity �as a whole� is, if not mostly, then at least essentially well intentioned has enabled me to avoid a dangerous journey down a very dark path. I have long held and still hold that we start out with �good� intentions but in failing to make a rational distinction between what is good and what ain�t, so called �good� intentions are dashed to smithereens on the rocks of an unrelenting reality. To do good one must first learn and know what good is.
One thing good is not is damning an entire species on account of either a minority or majority of its alleged members. Only in a well educated population might one find the majority morally virtuous. Yet amongst the best educated, good intentions are not necessarily grounded in sound judgment based in reality.
In any thought process, question for consideration or human endeavor there simply is no substitute for a comprehensive, rational, reality based, life and reason affirming philosophy.
So much for the postcard. cul8r . . .

If I understand you correctly, I think, as an educated human being, I must be failing miserably and am on a journey down that very dark path - but on this subject I'm happy to continue. Perhaps, cynic that I am, I'm subconsciously applying good ol' Occam's principle - and in this case I believe it works.
As promised:
The law of identity states, �А is A.� . . . or is it?
Well of course things are what they are. But then things are not always and necessarily what they might at first appear to be.
These three A�s:
A Α А
while they are visually rendered identically with most fonts they are respectively Latin, Greek and Cyrillic characters with different character codes. This distinction is apparently not taken into account by answerbank�s censorbot.
This provides another useful advantage in that it enables me to represent the familiar link modifying form with which you are familiar (although it might have alluded memory with lack of use):
<а hrеf=url>text</а>
If I had typed this using standard keyboard characters it would have been interpreted as the real thing and would therefore appear like this:
text
There now, see? Even a sneaky conniving scoundrel like me can be trusted . . . sometimes . . .
Incidently, I do not typically use the f*** term indiscriminately. I have far too much respect for the term and the act it specifies to exploit it frivolously or to use it to express my distaste for/of lesser qualities.

By the way . . .
"url" is not a valid url and so the example does not provide a link to an actual page. You have not been denied access.
Remember, before copy/save ing the form you will need to retype it using standard keyboard characters for it to work as intended.
Naomi, I have a bit of advise I think it would be wise to consider. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Prejudice has limited merit in the realm of snap decisions. But in the case of the importance and scope of what you may be considering, a more discriminating evaluation may be in order. Don't neglect the gems that may be buried within the muck.
The sad state of human affairs if as much if not mostly due to a misunderstanding about or never having properly learned how to live and use the powerful albiet potentially deadly attribute of reason fortune has bestowed upon our species. Just how awful (or great) things can turn out is a testiment to the extents of this awesome power.
What ever is going on in your life I hope you find your way clear to a better day. It is neither reasonable nor just that the best among us should suffer at the hands of those who accept suffering as humanities proper state. Through whatever you might be experiencing, don't neglect to reward the good . . . especially with regards to yourself!

How very clever of you to think of that. What a wily old goat you are - in the nicest sense! Haaaaaa!
I think you've severely misunderstood me, Starman. There's nothing untoward going on in my life, except that my time, resources, and abilities, are constantly, and often of late, tiresomely, in demand. Having said that, I don't know how you've managed it, but it's very astute of you to recognise my neglect of myself at times, and I thank you for the advice. I have an appointment with my hairdresser tomorrow, and that has to be good for the soul!

You should have seen the stamping I did last night! I emailed the Ed about CB again...there was a veritable hole in the ground when I'd finished stamping... I've got a response and I've contacted them again but we'll see.
I'm going to book my tickets to the Lake District today, I've got an old house mate who lives there so that should be fun.

Hello China - I'm in love with your mind - although you haven't brought your fractals in here have you?
Could I impress you with a spot of engineering?
Regearding trust - I trust everybody until otherwise proven wrong, and have just lent �1000 to a bloke that I have only known for three months, whose domestic situation was desperate. The grand was earmarked for another debt, but time is on my side.
What's the point in being a Christian if one doesn''t take riskas and put ones trust in the Lord?
If you have two coats etc .........
