    You favourite season

    I like Autumn and Winter. Now there's a reason for this! I was brought up on a farm and in the summer every effort was devoted to get the crops in. You would work from 7 in the morning till 10 at night some days. When the summer ended, And the Fields were planted with the next crop, then there...

    I remember watching twizzle on the television when I was a kid. I remember an episode when there was a really tall character, and a really short character. The story was around the idea that the tall guy could reach stuff at high places and the little guy was jealous, but then the little guy...

    thread to discuss films I quite like the film but I don't think it is Worth noting. Interestingly he said he got his maths ideas from God, they sort of appeared in his head. I also recall Jung, when asked did he believe in God He Said No, I can't believe in something that I know as a certainty...

    No, I put them down somewhere, and now I haven't got my glasses so I can't find them! It keeps changing sometimes there's a red spot and sometimes there's not. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

    Now this just occurred to me, Jordan's explanation of the need for capitalists and the need for liberalism, and of the differences between men and women in that men are more likely to be engineers industry orientated and women are more likely to be caring and nurturing orientated. I see a...

    Is Capitalism evil?

    Jordan b Peterson has educated me on this! Now, it's a bit premature of me to speak with some authority, so take it that I'm not! Both capitalism and liberalism are needed to organise a society properly. both are capable of doing both good and bad. And that's the point, that's why you have the...

My take on it is, we are here, we live on this planet in a very thin bubble of air which is effectively a couple of miles thick, and then you've got maybe a metre or two of land underneath, and that's it. That is our environment. Out of the MASS of...

    The God of a thousand ears

    The Muslims and a Christian Gods' are different. In fact the Muslims maintain there's is the only one true god and other gods do not exist. So if you tell a Muslim that you believe in God, and you don't mean the Muslim God, Then I think you are committing quite a serious crime in their Eyes...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist
