As per the Nicene Creed, "the one holy catholic and apostolic church." As for me, I will not approach my Lord, saying "thank goodness I'm in the true church unlike those others", but "Lord have mercy on me a sinner."

I think it is probably best to call Palestine a failed state which has considerable recognition but not universal recognition. It will not get entry into the UN General Assembly without approval by all the veto members of the security council. Whilst the PA is the nominal government, in practice...

Once you call an election (or more formally the writs for an election have been made), the government goes into care taker mode. So any vote of no confidence would be moot, as the election has already been called. All Westminster based countries have the same system largely (eg all...

State of Palestine is member, fairly sure no one will arrest Hamas leaders

Problem is that at the last democratic election Hamas won the vote, and as best we can tell they are more popular now than then. Hamas has the military, popular support and democratic mandate to be the government of Palestine. Now they have moderated their position in some manner, but they have...

Purely looking at that state polls, to get to 270 Biden has to maintain lead in WI 0.8% lead MN 2% lead NH 3% lead He also has to win MI 2.2% trails PE 2.8% trails That gets Biden to 268. So to win he has to take either AR 3.2% or NE 4.3% All others states are above 5%, given how the...

Iran, Syria?? It is a region of troubled states. A person who lives in a sewer, will end up being covered in feaces

Popcorn ready for when ICC comes after France after it cracks down On Kanak's in New Caledonia....

The only body which can in any sense actually enforce law internationally is the UN Security Council. Effectively this means that any of the members with veto powers (or their proxies/allies) cannot ever be punished for any breach of so called international law. The ICC exists solely for show...

I can appreciate that no country, especially one that has had the heft of Russia, appreciates having foreign forces at its borders. Russia feels that it has a right to a sphere of influence, but that sphere isn't too keen on Russia being the regional hegemon. From my perspective, an Anglo-celtic...

Slight amendment, it was not just the attempt to global take down the footage, but the ban in Australia itself which has been struck down on an interim basis by the court. An Australian court actually defending our freedoms (rather than that of foreign criminals) has left me gobsmacked.

Federal Court has lifted the eSafety Commissioner global take down order on X on a interim basis until the court case. Although the wording of the decision does not look good for Albo and our international eKaren.

Aren't nearly all senior US politicians related, they are just as likely to be lizard people. Where I grew up we had "regularish" mice plagues, we could have kept them feed and happy, and they could have thinned the plague levels. Win/Win.

England had an elected monarchy until 1066, Harold Godwinson was elected King by the Witan. He had no blood connection to the previous royal family. Oliver Cromwell was granted the right to select his own successor as Lord Protector and chose his son, Richard Cromwell. I don't think anyone...

Different cultures and societies have differing rules. Some societies eat dogs, others eat guinea pigs. some eat cats. Where I grew up we often had plagues, especially mice, rabbits. The dead mice after a plague would be piled up in every corner of the sheds. In droughts sometimes you have no...

Australian Constitutional discussion, highlights the issues I raised Media Watch, an ABC show, actually argues that the clip should actually be available and the issue of international censorship

Grew up on 2,500 acre Mallee farm with my extended family. Dogs were for working not pets. As kids we were forbidden from patting or treating them as pets, grandad was strict on that. They were proper trained sheep dogs and therefore expensive tools, not fun friends. Cat was a pet we could play...

"The Barbarian", can I presume that you are an urban dweller. On a farm, all sorts of animals are killed. All sorts of vermin, like snakes, rabbits, hares, feral cats, rats and mice. Animals for food like sheep, chickens, pigs, goats etc I often had my bowl of Wheat Bix (brekkie), whilst an...

In Australian court recently there was a case Giggle v Tickle. Giggle was a woman only social media application, that wanted to exclude all men from the space. The app owner was an actual woman Sall Grover. Tickle is a person, who has changed name to Roxanne. Tickle wanted access the site...
