Look at Germany compared to the USA and the UK. They're prospering now. Even China, although that's different.

Think about it. The gov't wouldn't want us prepared.

Regarding the 'royal baby'. Shudder.
I read a few years ago, don't remember where, that it may be possible to decide on the gender of your child at some stage during the pregnancy.
Anyone think this is the reason, for the convenient 'boys' being born? William, Harry and this new kid.
A bit too convenient for me.
All of those building were built to withstand such an event occurring accidently.
A plane hit The Empire State Building years ago, which prompted the building to be safeguarded for the future.
Not to mention several demolitions experts, physicians etc have confirmed that a plane hitting the building that high would not have caused the damage that it did.
What gets me is, basic logic infers that the resulting inconsistencies of said 'tragedy' are so blatant, yet no one does damn all about it.

Agree with frankyscouser here regarding BB.
Only reason I watch is for psychoanalytical purposes. It's intriguing to watch how people in that show interact, from a psychological standpoint.
It is even more interesting how BB reprimands housemates, and manipulates situations. Honestly don't believe the voting is genuine and have never done it.
ConspiracyKen, you're right too. I think PC is mental. It's all centred around people getting offended. Hypothetically, I could get offended at absolutely anything.
An example of just how ridiculous it is. Here in NI there was a story in the paper about a man who was ordered by police to take his Christmas decorations down as his next door neighbour found them offensive. JOKE!
Hell, even look at the FA and Luis Suarez. Harshly treated for calling Evra a "little black man". How does THAT constitute racism? People seem to miss the fact racism is about oppression etc. Then compare that to what John Terry said, which was much worse. Less punishment. Xenophobic?
Speaking of xenophobia. In the celeb version of BB Heidi and Spencer were shunned because they were American. They were a bit obnoxious and what not but did stand on principle quite a bit, but anytime they were slated, it wasn't because the were "obnoxious" it was always "obnoxious Americans". What 's that got to do with it!
So many double standards and contradictions. I just say what I want to say, and couldn't care if someone gets 'offended' because this attitude of "this offends me" and "that offends me" like they're entitled to get offended as though it's a right. It's not, it's a choice. People are getting wrapped in cotton wool.

Thanks for that link pea. Haven't read any yet but intend to.
Rise & Shine, this is going to sound strange but I had a similar experience the other day. Let me know if anything like this has happened to you.
The other day I woke up, about 3:30pm, as you do when out of work.
I was certainly awake, no doubts in my head. I checked my phone for the time, sent a text. Felt too tired to get up just yet. Thought, "right another half an hour".
So, closed my eyes, felt this weird tingling in my head, like under the scalp but not the brain. Felt the tips of my fingers heating up, almost like I had them on the side of a boiling kettle. Wasn't sore though. I was definitely still awake, I opened my eyes partially. I could see my room. But there was more. I concentrated harder.
I can only describe what I saw as CCTV footage, from an elevated view I was watching a live stream of cars driving, people crossing a road etc. It was an unknown city, I could even smell the city. An industrial smell. Now I don't live in a city so I know the distinction between the two. I could even feel the atmosphere, the hustle and bustle nature of it.
It was really strange because I could sort of 'tap in'. If I opened my eyes completely wide I was in my room, it wasn't dreamlike or anything. I could even hear my dog barking at the neighbors kids playing football.
But when I rested my head down again I tried to see what I saw, and I could, I had my eyes squinted I could 'feel' it all again. Watching these people from a height, like as though I was a security camera. This went for about 40 mins.
I swear I'm not on drugs of any kind, I don't even take a tablet for a headache. Strangest thing so it was.
My thinking is that is just a chemical imbalance causing me to hallucinate but the thing is I've hallucinated before several times as I'm prone to a fever and it felt nothing like that.
Weird, weird, weird. Anyone else experience any unexplained phenomena they'd like to share?

Thanks guys. Nice to know others feel or have felt the same and I'm not just some cynical bugger.
Yeah, Rise & Shine. Seems like they will but I'm naturally skeptical. Have to wait and see. Hope is the killer, as they say. See, even that saying has a sinister undertone. Ahh! Head's melted.

Ever since I 'woke up' about four/five years I have been living in total frustration. Nothing is what it should be and I constantly feel as though there is no point going on through the pathetic existence I'm doomed to because the system is so counter-intuitive.
Then in your daily life, which is relatively poor, because you can see all the atrocities, lies and stupidity you can't seem to escape. You have one choice, accept it! I'm just not comfortable with it at all. 90% of people scoff at the thought of our government being in any way crooked, deceitful etc, even when they are presented with facts they are conditioned to deny them.
Then there's the 10%, probably less, who are 'awake' and they are, like me, doomed to live in this black hole we call Earth because there is just not enough strength in numbers to make any positive change.
It seems like the only victories I'll ever see in my life are minuscule, and are they really worth living for?
I'm not a Star Trek fan by any stretch (just can't get into it) but I always loved this - "Live long and prosper"
There is no prosperity on Earth anymore. In terms of the human race, we aren't progressing. Earth is not a haven for life but a breeding ground for greed.
I mean, should I want to visit another part of the planet, I'd have to jump through hoops, pay for a visa etc just to set foot on that patch of land and breath that air. Surely every human should have the right to explore? The Earth and all it has to offer is being turned into a commodity, bit by bit yet everyone just accepts it. People genuinely believe we living in a democracy. Nope! It's a dictatorship! The only choice we have, we get to pick the puppet. The puppet master never changes.
Sorry, going to stop now as it's just too depressing. Does anyone else feel so miserable and frustrated that they'd be tempted to call it a day and hope for better after death? I'm not saying I'm suicidal but does no one else feel like the fight for Earth has been lost long ago and we're never going to see the dawn of a new age?
