    TBH I also occasionally watch Blind Date so I’m in no position to criticise.

    Not really, I’m a lonely bachelor so just the usual tin of sardines for me. There’s no washing up for a start.

    It’s on the (whisper it) Daily Mail site and the comments are lighting up.

    Squarespace is better than Wix.
    Or you could do WordPress and pay a freelancer off PeoplePerHour to set it all up and add the functionality you want through plugins.
    Or you could just set up a FB page with open access.

    This is why places like churches can be very important. I’m not especially religious but have to move around for work, and if Im in a new area for say four months I will go to the local church services.
    Also pubs

    The other day I told Princess Anne to mind her f-king dorgs, as they were trying to mount my dorgs.

    It’s less a question of space and more one of time.
    Norfolk is five years behind.
    Lincolnshire is ten years behind.

    Wear a T-Shirt with “This is what a Feminist looks like” on it.
    Or your Newcastle shirt, with “Ginola” on the back.
    Be playful. Say things like, “Some people call me a Psychopath, but I prefer the term Serial Killer”.

    Judging by the fact that, once again, my annual tax return is zero, then it probably isn’t me.

    That is a sure sign you are in the top 1 percent.

    It must be a vocal minority rather than the majority of religious folk.

    The official position of the Catholic church is anti-euthanasia; same with the Orthodox; Protestant churches vary but most are anti.

    It’s a case of a widening gulf between official church teaching and what the laity think. The same crops up in the usual culture war debates, e.g. homosexuality, abortion, etc. However, things could be changing as the pews are emptying and the resurgent churches are generally the ones who keep to a conservative line, and where the wider (increasingly young) laity agrees with this.

    So these survey results will change over time.

    I’m genuinely interested to hear from religious folks who agree with euthanasia and how they reconcile this with their beliefs.

    I’m sure there are some liberal Christian writers who would support a very restricted form of euthanasia, as they would abortion, along the lines of defining compassion as one of the overwhelming qualities of God as evidenced by the life of Jesus. Someone like Keith Ward, a famous liberal theologian, would probably argue like this; he goes sofar as to argue that Jesus offered
    no moral teaching in his book “Love is his Meaning”. But many Christians wouldn’t accept Ward’s arguments.

    Winter drags. I will be digging out my SAD light too. My office has no windows which could be a good thing as I don’t notice it is already dark outside.

    IMO and its only an opinion this is bogus and put forward by the religious objectors to try to attract secular objectors

    You are right, the main energy/motivation for the anti-euthanasia position is undoubtedly religious. If you are secular, you could find the objections reasonable, but you are hardly going to bother too much with campaigning, whereas it obviously crosses religious lines. Basically the secular position is they are building a new quarry a mile away from me, but I don’t live right next to it so I can’t be bothered to object, whereas the religious position is that their houses border the new quarry.

    There are non-religious objections to euthanasia, e.g. off-ing someone in order to get their assets.
    The fear is you start to make exceptions, and then the standards drop and the system quickly gets corrupted.
    E.g. when no-fault divorce was introduced, it was to be used in extreme cases; now people get divorced for what would have then been considered unacceptable reasons.

    My next door neighbour has just knocked 10percent off his place. Looking for a quick sell. He had higher offers previously but now he needs to move fairly quickly.
    There’s always a place for a cheeky offer, and sentiment seems to be turning, at least in the UK.

    Very sad. Amazing voice.
