for me it would be a nightmare if the Biblical god existed. Have you read the old testament? The person described in it is an absolute nut! All the old testament God does is tell people to invade places, smite anyone they see (children,wome,etc) and enslave the remaining people, it's incredible.
I'm not sure if you know of a UK documentary series called "meet the Natives" , where some guys from a remote island called Vanatu came to England and "met the natives".
It was quite an interesting few programs. It was unusual in tone too (for this sort of show), because all the participants were presented well. In addition the Vanatuvians (?) were quite shocked at how badly we live and our general state of well being.
from a personal perspective I have noticed that my (male) friends who were educated in 'mixed' schools are more socially at-ease than those educated in single sex schools. It may be that the sexes gain an academic advantage in single sex schools over mixed ones, but perhaps focusing schooling on 'understanding humans' rather than academic achievement would not be too bad for our troubled society. It seems to me that the human are currently quite good at litigation, medication, invention ... but not so hot at communication and inter-relation. Perhaps focusing more on understanding each other and less on our competitive strengths.
just to be clear, I enjoy masculine and feminine differences and think they should be celebrated. I think boys should be allowed to punch each other and play with toy guns (if they want to) . Education should celebrate difference.
Just to throw a little oil on the fire of Jesus's brother called Judas - there is 'Judas Thomas', mentioned in the Bible this is to differentiate him from Judas Iscariot, he is also known as Thomas Didymus. Thomas Didymus is the Apostle known as Thomas
Thomas (Tau'ma) means twin in Syriac, a form of the Aramaic which was the language of Jesus and his followers. And Didymus, a name by which the apostle is also called in the gospel of John, means twin in Greek. Thomas Didymus means 'Twin Twin' (!)
So, Jesus has a brother called Judas, he also has a follower who is called Judas the Twin.
The gospel of Thomas was found in the Nag Hamaddi and also at Oxyrhynchus http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/thomas.html
In a real fight multiple attackers do not stand back and attack sequentially like a bad kung fu movie. In real life attackers tend to pile in where they can find space. This is some joke from a small town 'street fighting' defense course or something.
well, the act of gambling in the lottery may have violated the terms of probation, but wasn't an illegal act, so there's no reason to take the money off him. So, the obvious answer is go back to jail and keep the money too.
I find it bizarre that people think he should have the money taken off him because he has committed a prior criminal act which he has already served time for.

He made some nice ergonomic fruit though eh!
So,a context relevant ad in a side bar stays, but if it dances around singing a song about emoticons it get consigned to the void.

it's the poor robots I worry about.
I suppose they will have to do with jet-packs
