Rumours and Stuff

In all seriousness, does anyone see us winning even 1 game in our next 10? Thing about being stone motherless last means that you can't look at some mid to lower table opposition teams and go, "yeah they're pretty shit, we should beat them" because that is what we are, pretty shit ...

forget about the opposition it doesn't matter if we are playing the storm or the cowboys until we change what WE are doing every week we will not beat anyone no matter how good or bad they are

Has anyone got a DeLorean I can borrow?

I want to go into the future to after we have just won our first game breaking the losing streak... I wonder what 2024 will be like?

I must have missed the part where the stoic philosophers spread their beliefs across the world. creating Western society. You know, that thing that gave us our individual rights.
.

Ummm, and in what sense did Jesus (personally) spread his views around the world? He wandered around a small patch of the Middle East, and many years later (after the Romans pulled the Temple down) some chaps wrote the Gospels. The religion remained a Jewish sect for some time.

Would those individual rights be those granted to the same Christians who sold people into slavery, under the imprimatur on God's appointed rulers (the Christian monarchs of several European states). Or those who instigated pogroms? Many Christians are quite selective about whose rights should be observed. I hope the victims recognised how lucky there were to have those individual rights.

This no knock on JC, he had some important (and good) things to say, and he certainly developed on the ideas of the Stoics. But much of what has turned out to be the modern Christian doctrine was developed both before and after his life, by people who were manifestly not him.

I find that difficult to believe.

Well, the grape is a red wine grape, but they make a white Lambrusco from it (presumably by leaving the skins out during fermentation).
