A PRIMARY school sacked a woman teacher for telling heartbroken nine-year-olds there is no Father Christmas. Parents were furious when tearful youngsters went home saying they had also been taught elves and fairies did not...

skipper149 Frankly I don't see anything wrong with what the teacher did. After all, a teacher's job is to enlighten her charges and rid them of their ignorance, and believing fairy tales to be true is an ignorance which should be gotten rid of at any age. It's...

If you are a member of a religious group your morals, ethics and values are usually derived from the beliefs of your religion. But, if you consider yourself to be non-religious then how do you determine right and wrong, good and...

skipper149 Okay, my $0.02 worth. I believe each one of us is born with the innate ability to distinguish good from evil. We have all been given a conscience which makes it possible for us to rise above all other creatures on earth, and be good or bad as we choose. Being...

skipper149 I am happy to know this stuff works for you. But you may wish to consider the long term safety of the product. Could you tell me what is the ingredient in it that makes it work? It reminds me of another product from China called slim-10. A local celebrity in...

skipper149 Butter is healthier. Saturated fat may make you fat, but trans fat promotes cancer. I'd rather be a fat slob and living than be dying of cancer.

skipper149 For me, it's Rowan Atkinson. Be it as the slapstick and totally idiotic Mr Bean or the scathingly wicked Blackadder, he really shines. Have you watched his live shows? Simply wonderful.

skipper149 Er... better at what? Can you be more specific? I think this question is like comparing apples with oranges. Which tastes better? Which is healthier? Opinions will always be divided and we'll see no end to the argument.

skipper149 China. Between China and India, China has the political edge. Their leaders are far less corrupt, and the government is a lot more stable. China's communist style govt works well, whilst India's democracy (too much of it) is its achilles' heel.

skipper149 I used to love Real Madrid, since they had Zidane, Figo and Ronaldo playing for them. But Zidane's retired, Figo's gone, and Ronaldo is fading, and worse, there's David Beckham there, so I don't find them watchable anymore. Now my favourite is Arsenal (oooh...

skipper149 I don't like football, I love football. It's the most popular game in the world, and with good reason. Why is it beautiful? You just gotta watch it to know. It's the way the ball is passed on from team mate to team mate without touching it with your hands,...
