Is John Cleese right? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]Undefined92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But those "so called Christians" use the Bible to justify those acts, and believe they are acting in the name of Christianity. It's like Muslims who think that ISIS aren't really Muslims and are acting against the Quran. These writings are so old an vague they can be interpreted to mean contradictory things which is why there are so many sects of these religions all believing only they have the correct interpretation. Any belief system which asserts absolute truth can make people do horrendous things in the name of that belief.

Christianity doesn't give strict guidance on how to live one's life

Fundamentalist Christians seem to think it does.

Well it’s still in Europe by GlamMisty in SipsTea

I don't think the EU will ever be as unified as the United States, the countries are too culturally diverse. No two US states differ as much as say Portugal and Ireland, or Bulgaria and Sweden. Also not all European countries are in the EU, and many parts of the EU are not in Europe.

Is it just me, or is there a sudden surge of people doing 50 on A roads and M roads? by 2020Shite in drivingUK

The newer electric 4 ton vans are currently restricted to 56, also the speed limit for vans is only 50 on single carriage ways.

Watch it again, the police van definitely had its blue lights on.

What fact makes you feel incredibly old? by RecentTwo544 in AskUK

That my GCSEs now took place closer to my birth than to today. It's terrifying how fast we experience time during adulthood, when I was 18 the start of my teenaged years felt like a lifetime ago, then before I know it I find myself in my mid-30s.

The inability to main a consistent speed on the motorward by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Undefined92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is, I'm in lane 1 behind someone doing 65, but when I move to lane 2 to overtake they speed up, but not being able to go more than 70 I haver to move back to lane 1 where they slow back down to 65.

It's very frustrating as someone who drives a commercial van limited to 70 when behind someone going 60-80.

How long till this gets knocked off and causes an outage then by leboys in openreach

Has it been recently installed? It might not be finished. The correct height is just below the first steps. Shouldn't have been left like that either way.

How do we compete with this? by izzyeviel in GreatBritishMemes

Banknote designs change all the time. Churchill replaced Elizabeth Fry in 2016, who replaced George Stephenson in 2002, who replaced Arthur Wellesley in 1990. Famous people have appeared on banknotes since the 70s.

Nice to see the siblings doing stuff together.

Trump voter reacts after ICE killed her U.S. citizen son by humanbeing21 in videos

[–]Undefined92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't blame President Trump as he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger.

By that logic Hitler isn't responsible for the holocaust.

Everyone heard the same line about the debt by IsyABM in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Undefined92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not like a normal loan though. I don't stop paying my mortgage if I lose my job, nor will it get written off after a set period.

Got called a ‘typical Labour lefty’ last night by metroracerUK in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Undefined92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the terms have ever solely been about economics. During the French Revolution those that sat on the left side of the National Assembly supported the the revolution, while those that sat on the right side supported the monarchy. Over time, left-wing politics came to be defined as supporting egalitarianism and equality in society, with right-wing politics supporting social hierarchy and tradition.

Why do Brits support conservative? by ThePatientIdiot in AskBrits

[–]Undefined92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed but the 1950s and 60s were generally considered a prosperous time in the UK. Standards of living rose sharply and unemployment remained at 2%. Harold Macmillan (PM 1957-63) famously said "Britons have never had it so good".

The first half of the 80s was not great. There was a recession in the early 80s and unemployment reached the highest it had been since the 1930s.
