  “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” (Epicurus)

    But not many people like to hear the truth. It’s always swept under the carpet. Eg. Not many Catholics like to be told that some Priests have abused kids. It’s a fact that people won’t accept.

  “Justice is in the eye of the victim”

  (Victims or their families should be consulted when it comes to sentenceing – the Bulger family have been denied any justice at all and we are ALL victims of this crime. If the victims family (in murder) need a death-sentence, then that is what justice requires)

  “I think the worlds leading linguists should design a language built on logic/most common similarities/natural speech/mathematics/etc, and the world should adopt it as their second language. Schools and business’s could make it compulsory. Having one global language would actually protect other languages, as everybody on the planet would only have to learn two languages, and everybody on the earth could talk to one another – then we really would be one race, the human race. All films and literature could also be released in this language”

    That was more or less the idea behind Esperanto which fizzled and no-one could understand why. For communication, you need context. Each culture has a perceived construction of context and language assigned to each context relative to the speaker. without culture, language doesn’t live. hence if your proposal was implimented, each culture would just translate directly from their mother tongue and expect people to understand (imagine spanish speakers translating and omitting subjects/ English speakers putting in too many? maybe too nerdy a response for this but the point is that there is no direct one to one correlation from one language to another)
    Besides, learning a language means pushing your brain to understand something so complex and there are so many variations out there that you are spoiled for choice. As for the doom of languages (a.k.a. the endangered language issue) once the world has successfully installed a common language and declared it global property (something happening right now) then people will feel less pressured to ‘denounce’ their mother tongue.
    Short answer: no matter how hard we try, its already happening

  “Instead of 65million people having to register as organ donors, surely it should be an ‘opt-out’ system rather than ‘opt-in’, if you’re willing to receive you should be willing to give.”
