there is nothing in religion,but in traditions and in people, they are a big problem. Even if you are against the act you will do it without a revolt or reject. This has the beginig in your education It is not just people... We are talking about religions when we should be talking about denominatio...

Age difference in love is a very difficult problem for aftersoviet public. Our brain has not yet become so independent and free to give this category of couples to live in comprehension with society. Why is this? Were relationships regulated? :shock: I see nothing wrong with age differences of arou...

The UK.

For children is always tragic, they suffer the most. And if children suffer,suffer and one parent, usually the wife. For man is freedom. The day when my parents divorced was the happiest day of my life! :) All those years when I was woken up by my parents arguing... they were hell. They refused to ...

But every child seems himself in his own way. And even such close people as our parents can't understand what exactly their child needs. That is why child should be the last person, who decide his destiny and not his parents. I agree - when I was younger people had all kinds of ideas about what I s...

And don't forget womens' boxing!

A quick note on farming: farming livestock usually requires more land and causes more pollution that agriculture. The Vegetarian Society was originally formed to help the UK become self-sufficient, not because of any ethical concerns. Think of the huge swathes of Amazonian rainforest being cut down ...

I have this discussion a lot :-) I have to admit that fat is the main reason I avoid meat So, if we disregard the fat issue for a minute... Would you catch a fish from your local river or lake and eat it? Where are the local factories, nuclear power stations and chemical plants are situated? ;-) Wel...

I don't like to receive flowers. And if it, it is preferable to be room flowers! I love them cause remain as memory! However,the flowers are beautiful but in few days fade and like nor were! Oh I completely agree! I do sometimes like flowers if they smell nice (like fuschias) or are pretty and seas...

i tried many times but I have never succeeded ... how you doing it? what is the secret? or may be you have a great recipe? :? My recipe is very easy :) but you will need a can of spray oil (e.g. Fry Light) Warm the oven to 200degC. Take a large baking tray and spray it with oil. Chop some potatoes ...

An interesting post you submitted about the "special relationship" between the UK and U.S. I know very little (nothing, actually) about that. Tell me more about the WWII debt though. You mean the UK had to pay off a debt to the U.S.? For war supplies or ..... ? :) The UK borrowed money in...

:haha :haha :haha :haha :haha This is very true! But the UK also has a "special relationship" with the USA. I found out this week (courtesy of BBC4) that this "special relationship" was a consequence of the UK's nuclear weaponry programme. Essentially, we built an H-Bomb in the 1...

Good luck, Benn! Let us know how you get on!

Hmm, I think I understand what you are saying. But surely this is an arguement for being part of a diverse community, with many friends and mentors of both genders? I think part of the problem is that I belong to a community that still does not really respect women. Some men treat us like furniture:...

In what way do men help women to develop? :quoi I have met men who wanted to hold me back professionally... Or have helped me only because they want praise or publicity... And I have met men who wanted me to stay at home and learn to cook and clean (while they have an affair with a skinny blonde dan...

What is your signature dish, tricker? Are you a dessert chef?

[sorry, only joking...]

I make my own chips: everyone tells me they are nicer than the ones you buy, and the secret is that they are much healthier

And I am very proud of my pasta sauces

Pasta, rice and potatoes - I like to feel full, and they give me the energy to train and stay mentally active all day. I try to make dishes with lots of vegetables to accompany these, like tomato and pepper sauce, or vegetable chilli or curry. I snack on fruit, and I have cereal bars as a reward if ...

M.Helen - yes you are right that there are many reasons for divorce. You have such a positive outlook regarding children! :) Sadly in my experience it's not uncommon for men to walk out on their families or pregnant girlfriends, or treat them badly :-( I am starting to think I should move to a count...

I think what annoys me about this thread is the assumption that insufficient exercise makes you fat. The implication is then that doing exercise will make you thin. This assumption is dangerously incorrect. It is insulting to overweight people who exercise. It has also given rise to "Exercise B...

yet they allow to become overweight. In my experience, people become overweight as children (which is the fault of the parents and schools), or due to various life events where little exercise and overeating are expected (e.g. going to university, becoming pregnant, becoming ill or breaking a leg, ...

how men can not live without women... women can not live without men. And not only on the conception of a child. That is the easier step...

That doesn't stop men from divorcing women and running away as soon as the baby is born!

Benn - I am pleased to hear we have inspired you :) Albert - I agree with much of what you say, except for two things: 1) Christian values?! Are you insane?! The reason we have our anti-discrimination laws is to counteract the negative opinions of old-fashioned Christian types. I have had the misfor...

I dare you to take your next holiday in the UK, and say that to some fat people! :haha Honestly, I have spent many years trying to convert friends and family... They think I am the one with an "exercise fixation" or an "eating disorder" :roll: Besides, a thin person might maintai...

Finally they will have beautiful women. Maybe they will start to treat them with more respect. :shock: Is this what men respect?! Perhaps I will get cosmetic surgery too? Or a veil? :haha Man, I already hate going to the salon... Such a waste of time and money... I agree with you, M.Helen. I think ...

I So many vegetarians fight against people who eat meat ... However, if it is so bad as they say. why people continue to eat meat? I don't think this is true. :) I belong to a slimming club where eating more vegetables and vegetarian alternatives to meat is encouraged. I know that my club has many m...
