    Coronavirus

    There are 3 static caravan holiday parks along our road, over the last few days they have got much busier.
  2. On that day I was taken into hospital with severe appendicitis. I came round from the aneasthetic at about 16:40 and got the radio turned on for the football results.
  3. Telling a reporter that in yesterday's breifing he had been looking right at him, when the reporter wasn't even there. I read through that transcript and I don't think I found any part where more than 4 consecutive words made any semblance of sense.
  4. Q) If you weigh whales in a whaleweigh station, where do you weigh pies ? A) Somewhere over the rainbow, ( weigh a pie ).
  5. Go to the Bible Belt and try it.
  6. How many of his d!ckhead fans will overdose on UV lamps to get rid of COVID-19 and give themselves skin cancer instead ?
  7. Red / dark red stripes, with yellow piping and underarm panels, as per the images Steve Grant posted ?
  8. Perhaps, but it is my birthday so let me have some fun.
  9. He wont get re-elected if his supporters follow his medical guidance.
  10. MLG, surely the presence and quality of evidence is dependent on the individual's perspective. There are many millions of people who beleive in God and Jesus, and accept there is ample evidence. These people also have faith, therefore faith is not " without evidence". Your dismissal of the evidence is simply your personal choice, as you can neither prove your position nor disprove theirs.
  11. I suggest DT puts himself forward as the first test patient. ( And Bolsonaro in Brazil can be #2 ).
  12. Red / white horizontal stripes ?
  13. "when in combination with other posts". I'm not sure which 'other' posts I am supposed to have taken account of, it's a struggle to make sense of most of them.
  14. So I didn't misquote you.
  15. "QUOTE=Matthew Le God;2816269]- Faith is without evidence - Belief can be supported by evidence (hence why knowledge is a subset) If you have good evidence you don't need faith... you'd use the evidence![/quote" Where is the misquote ?
  16. "Faith is without evidence"
  17. My 5 year old grandson was asked this afternoon by his mother "Give me another word with an 'a' sound", ( expecting hat, cat, bat....... ) "Turkmenistan" was the answer.
  18. So which of these sentences is correct ? "UFOlogists have faith in aliens." / "UFOlogists believe in aliens".
  19. So, is acceptance that extra-terrestrial life exists faith or belief ?
  20. Belief is the acceptance of a truth without the substantiation of evidence, and without the need for knowledge of demonstrable facts.
  21. My contention is that your contention, ( knowledge is a subset of belief ), is false. ( And again, congratulations on your unswerving ability to totally ignore the rest of my post, and it's context ).
  22. At the start of a new football season do you believe that Southampton will retain their place in the Premier League, or do you know they will ?
  23. Belief can be reinforced by evidence, but that is dependent on an individual's acceptance of that 'evidence'. If a strongly religious individual accepts their Holy scripture as incontrovertable truth, perhaps the direct Word of God, then that scripture serves as evidence to validate their belief. However, for many other people, as you have demonstrated on this thread, the evidence is viewed as weak / spurious / nebulous. In such circumstances the 'knowledge' is conditional. In the case of the goldfish, once the existence of the fish has been demonstrably proven, the knowledge is incontravertable, ( except for pedantic whataboutery ).
