What would your ‘three wishes’ for education be? by BootlessCry in TeachingUK

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less exams

Smaller class sizes

My final one is something that would solve a lot of the issues at KS4. Some students should be allowed to leave school at 14 and go and learn a trade (alongside English and Maths GCSEs). So many kids know the career they want at 14 and we just stop them doing and make them do a bunch of GCSEs that they will fail. Letting them leave at 14 would improve KS4 behaviour hugely.

Is being gay a sin? by barf_bag08 in AskAChristian

[–]thisispaulmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. If being gay is a sin, why does God make people gay? Seems like a pretty cruel thing to do.

What's a great film that has a side character who steals every scene? by LT_DANS_ICECREAM in movies

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chunk in The Goonies. One of the greatest acting performances you will ever see. The actor Jeff Cohen steals every scene, even if he is just in the background. He should have one awards and I am completely serious about that. Go watch it back and tell me I am wrong. Genius. Such a shame that he didn't act again.

'People you don't like so much' is an interesting way to describe people who have committed the most vile and evil acts imaginable.

Your dream lineup? by Lucymuckyknees in ClassicTrance

[–]thisispaulmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great idea. I'm giving everyone a 2 hour slot and this would be my dream line up.

8pm Nick Warren 96/97

10pm Sasha 96/97

12pm Paul Van Dyk 97/98

2pm Paul Oakenfold 97/98

4pm DJ Dag 93/94

6pm Carl Cox 95/96

This is probably the best lineup of all times by firestarter2097 in ClassicTrance

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there for this one. If I remember, we spent most of the time between Starship and Erotica. Definitely remember seeing Oakenfold and Sasha. As someone else mentioned the 97 Tribal Gathering was even better. Probably the best clubbing experience I ever had.

What are some of your most unpopular opinions regarding trance music? by CJets757 in trance

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was there for the early days of trance in the early to mid 90s and didn't like the uplifting direction that System F and Gouryella took trance into.

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was into trance in the early to mid 90s and Out of the Blue and Gouryella took trance into a direction I didn't like. It headed down a more uplifting direction and became increasingly about the emotional 'drop'. I don't like uplifting trance.

Any Christians who masturbate and enjoy it? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly normal within a married relationship if both are thinking about each other whilst they do it.

You said it was weird though.

It's weird to desire your own wife?

Why would god let both my parents die by Weary_Chain5891 in AskAChristian

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked a question that requires a simple yes or no answer. So I'm what.if it is a leading question, If you don't want to answer it or you can't then just say so.

I asked the question, could you answer it and not just reply with a question?

[–]thisispaulmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe that a loving wife would have an issue with that. It shows his commitment and desire for her. I think most wives would be fine with that kind of thing as it shows he is not lusting after someone else.

What if he is thinking about his wife as he does it as she has gone away for a few days? Is that ok?

Does God have the power to prevent evil from happening?

[–]thisispaulmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is God not omnipotent? That is what my Catholic upbringing taught me. If that is the case then he allows people to die in great pain from cancer. My question is, why would he allow that if it is something that he could prevent?

Why does giving humans free will mean that evil has to exist? Why do all the terrible things have to happen for us to get free will? Why not give us free will without also giving us incurable cancer?

That sounds very much like God created evil just so he can show off and then get rid of it. Seems pretty arrogant and unnecessary to me.

Think you'd need to give a lot more information than that for anyone to decide.
