I agree there is no place for politics in the pub.

TBH Arrow, I quite like the site the way it is. Everything works well and runs smoothly, it is not cumbersome as TB claims. The one thing that I could suggest is a possibility of the 'recently updated sidebar'. www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/676I was looking at this earlier but I'm not sure if it would clutter up the board. Maybe if we had a poll on this and run it for a test period, we could then democratically decide on whether to keep it or not (through a forum members vote). Not keen on sidebars...they clutter the site too much. View recent posts does that I would think.

I do not think America has failed. I do think democracy has. Compared ti Thailands democracy ? I am becoming a bit disillusioned with this whole "democracy" thing. After what happened in the USA recently with their elections, and in the aftermath, I think I prefer Thailand's way.

Democracy to work well relies on a well educated and informed population, something the USA lacks.

If the Tories run with Theresa May in the next election we will have a small bearded gnome as PM.

No idiot like trump of no political training could get through. If i consult a doctor, lawyer, i want to believe he is qualified. I never belonged to the labour party, but had close friends who were very high in the ranks of the party. One became an MP, but f ed up, the other a baroness. You do the research. Baroness was my inspiration, amongst others. She taught me and i remember. Oh and the now departed baroness's husband was my philosophy tutor. He too was not a party member. Imagine the talks in that household?

“I think we need food.”
“As long as I don’t have to cook it.”
He threw his arm around my shoulder as we turned back to the palace. It felt like a very boyfriendish thing to do. “But we did so great last time.”
“All I learned about was butter.”
“Then you know everything.”

Here he goes again, referencing Last Tango in Paris and anal sex. Sorry, not my taste. Taste, that came up, "came up" somewhere else. Oh just laugh.

My reference to the butter was to your Baroness and her philosopher frriend's discussion. And the proposition that something ceases to exist if it is not observed.
