Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
I just reached my data transfer limit last night, so I was left without internet usage for the evening (at least until it was reset at midnight. I timed it well ) and I spent all evening playing various games, watching TV and looking out at the lightning.
Sure there was rain, but I liked the lightning. All night it was flashing, at one point it must have been really close, because there was a huge flash of white light and uber-loud thunder.
I think a large problem with the UK's transport problem is that everyone thinks "something should be done" but when that "something" would require long-term investment of (possibly) billions of pounds, no-one is willing to take the tax-hike this would inevitably need.
And of course this is always "everyone else's fault"...
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

the programme goes on to cite the 1984 Ethiopian famine , the forest fires devastated that Portugal. Glaciers melting in the Alps. And France where people died by the thousand. And says, could this be the penalty of reducing Global Dimming without tackling the root cause of global warming?
too many facts to ignore, scared the s**t out of me anyway
Whatever your opinions on the state of our planet, one things for sure...last nights weather over Leeds looked spectacular from my vantage point off to the east...

Ironic to have been on this topic earlier in the day, then log in to get 'When the water comes rushing, rushing in' on screen next time I go to the home page.
No thunderstorms....yet but never did say I trusted the weather reports...
Although so many people in need in the States and Bush looking too brown on the tube (on holiday again...id*ot!!)
The religious hell that happened after *panic* yesterday because someone threatens to kill themselves and yet others get killed......
Saving, troops, action....it will come...I have hope and dreams.

Why is the weather getting worse then?
Because the gods' are angry and I do not blame them. We have abused nature, we start wars, mankind or most of mankind just take take take and if you only take and do not give back.....this happens. Generations before us and certain *narrow-minded* way of thinking started all this along time ago. It is a cycle and it will get much much worse.....and hopefully the generations to follow (in which ever form) will then fix it, from the education that gets passed on. That's what I think anyway

You're right that there is a cycle involved, but I'm not buying the mysticism. No matter who is hanging outside my toilet.
gods' in which ever religion one finds him/herself....and those who have NO religion?.....all meant by that was mankind (in my experience) rather blames *a god* than mankinds own stupidity. And I can not answer why? questions either....that would be trying to get into a gods' mind
A cycle is involved and has nothing to do with mysticism more like myxomatosis....or history repeating?.....just my own thoughts and has nothing to do with who is hanging outside your toilet ...maybe an involvement but who am I to say?

I did not stir any storms last night, although if you want me too
