  1. Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy; if the Pope won, they would have to leave. The Jewish people met and picked an aged, but wise Rabbi Moshe to represent them in the debate. However, as Moshe spoke no Latin, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they all agreed that it would be a "silent" debate. On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi Moshe sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Rabbi Moshe looked back and raised one finger. Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head. Rabbi Moshe pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope then brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. Rabbi Moishe pulled out an apple. With that, the Pope stood up and declared that he was beaten, that Rabbi Moshe was too clever, and that the Jews could stay. Later, the Cardinals met with the Pope, asking what had happened. The Pope said, "First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only one God common to both our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He had me beaten and I could not continue." Meanwhile the Jewish community was gathered around Rabbi Moshe. "How did you win the debate?" they asked. I haven't a clue," said Moshe. "First he said to me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger. Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews and I said to him, we're staying right here." "And then what?" asked a woman. "Who knows?" said Moshe, "He took out his lunch, so I took out mine.
  2. Won't happen, air strikes maybe (maybe), but ground troops? The time where that was even a somewhat realistic option has long passed. Or do you mean if they won’t release the UK sailors they have? I wonder it they are staging mock executions for them as they did to the marines in 2004. They reckon the USA have planned an initial Air Assualt to damage the economy, destroy certian areas of the government, and put Irans nuclear plan back by 7 years, But i presume this would have to be followed by a ground assault.
  3. If the USA attacked Iran and provoked a war would you support the use of UK troops? I wouldnt
  4. Close your eyes. Consider the prospect of 5 days a week at work. Consider doing that for the next 35-40 years. Consider that this is the last time you will EVER have this much spare time on your hands. Open your eyes. See how much more appealing 3 months with nothing to do is now? Jesus You just blew my mind Ive been on De-tox(not the cleaning product, obviously im a tramp) all week, I think a re tox is in order 5 Days
