Reasons are not an excuse.

Funny old thing 'space', I would describe it as the absence of anything, that would of course include light, therefore space is nothing - non existent...

It's all make-believe. Made by God that is. Like the events in a dream are make-believe (made by the dreamer) so everything, other than God the dreame...

Well if we don't have free will then everything is pre-ordained, having knowledge of that but being unable to influence things would be totally disfun...

All it said on the bus was "... let's fund our NHS instead" it didn't say "we will". In any case when, or if, we leave the EU that money may well fund...

Putting all the wrangling to one side we are left with the fact that the majority of voters in the referendum indicated a wish to leave the EU. If a s...

Or, there is no Universe, it doesn't exist, it's an illusion. Videos shot in Earth orbit and on the Moon show no stars, just darkness.

Sex doesn't necessarily always involve emotion.

Ha ha, though females do get 'inside out' erections.
December 06, 2018 at 21:16
It appears that many of these heterosexual men with capacity for sex with men also feel repelled by kissing men, or any show of affection.
December 06, 2018 at 21:14
Well yes, but it's not as clear cut as homosexual, bisexual and heterosexual. There's lots of men who claim that their sexual feelings for women are c...

"So, what's your best argument against suicide?" My argument is the fact that in my scenario there is no escape from being the real you, God.

What I said was everything is based on mental health, what you say is everything in education is based on reading which I agree with.
