http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13595174 This is worrying. Forget the financial 'crisis', you can't bail out the planet. I am a big supporter of the Gaia Hypothesis; the Earth will rid itself of us before we kill it. We need to act now!

So all the charges against Blatter are dropped and now he can stand unopposed next week. What a joke! I wish we would just break-away already...

I want the premiership to be the biggest and best league in the world. Therefore, I want United to win.

David Firth is a genius, though some of his stuff is just beyond weird! Anyone seen 'Spoilsbury Toast Boy'?

They are hitting the ball incredibly hard, more so than you could ever imagine.

West Brom will be good. They are a decent team.

Indeed, people from different areas have varying degrees of fast and slow twitch muscles. Fast twitch muscles are good for the sprint and the slow twitch ones are good for the long distance running.

France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Monaco, Vatican City

That isn't racist. That is racialism, but it is very dangerous and murky ground and a small step to racism. I think that in the end the differences between a black man and a white man are mainly cultural. There are obviously genetic differences between different groups, but I don't believe they should hold any social or political conclusions. After all, we are all part of the human race!!!

I guess you do have those different categories. Those who wish to exploit - greed and power. Those who are scared - lack of education. Indeed, it is our choices which define who we are and it would be wonderful to live in a world where we are judged by the the content of our characters over any socially constructed group we created. However, on Cameron he didn't help himself, particularly with his conduct while at Oxford to escape the stereotype.

Seriously, what the **** are you on about?

But it's the context. Of course I'm allowed to called myself a massive honkey or cracker or whatever, but it's difference when it is cross racial. Also, you have to look at in the context of history. The white man has never been oppressed like the black man. I think racism is mainly down to a lack of intelligence and education.

I think race is much less of an issue these days than it was say even 10 years ago and I think that will continue to decline as new generations come through. I had an interesting conversation with a friend who is black, who is strictly South African, but has also lived in America. She told me that other here in comparison to those countries race is a total non-issue. However, she did think that class was a bigger social cleavage and I have to agree with her. Then again, I live in a largely white middle class town which is generally very tolerant, but that is my viewpoint. I wouldn't say that racism is a natural aspect of human behaviour though. I think we are a product of our surroundings.

Would please stop using that term for me as you are using it totally out of context and it makes you look silly.

I don't need to say any more. You repeatedly defeat yourself.

That's debatable, but it hardly makes someone 'brilliant'.

I'm sorry... but what?! That sounds a lot like you... You can think what you like about his politics, but even Cameron would admit that Obama has a natural pizazz that he could only dream of. That is generally accepted fact. The rest of your sentence is frankly bull****.

Why is he Brilliant?

In your opinion, Obama is a tool. That matters not to what I was talking about. You claimed Cameron had a better 'aura of a leader', most people would simply not say this is true. Perhaps you think Cameron's politics is better, that's your call... but what I said was right.

Dune, are you ****ing kidding me? Politics aside... Cameron has nothing on Obama's natural appeal. I can't quite put my finger on it, but Obama has something, an aura to use your words that Cameron just doesn't have. Cameron isn't cool. Not that it really matters, but its true. Cameron is also not a touch on Blair in this department.

I think everyone should create one of these threads.

I agree with this.

He was visiting Ireland though... why not do it? I am sure one bonus is the Irish vote, but it isn't as disgusting as some people on this thread want to make out.

Because ALL IRISH PEOPLE ARE TERRORISTS.
