I am sure that if you took all religions out of the world, and everyone woke up and thought scientifically about the universe, we would have less wars and less communication problems.
83 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoI think Barclays is trying to screw me - hundreds in debt?
I live abroad and have done for over 15 years. I keep an current account open. I originally set the account up with Woolwich and even went to the branch and explained I lived abroad. I still needed a UK address but was provided a DEBIT CARD with no overdraft facility. GREAT - I couldn't get into trouble. All statements go
Years later, Barclays take over Woolwich, and send me a letter (which I never saw until today) saying that will grant me a "Reserve" of 150 GBP (which I never asked for) and then allowed me to withdraw slightly over my limit when I was last in the UK in 2008. I never suspected anything, fully believing that I could not withdraw more funds than I had in the bank, which I previously agreed with Woolwich.
AM I SCREWED? They have been charging me 22 GBP per week for an debt I never wanted and believed I never had (less than 20 GBP over-drawn). It's now over 300 GBP I'm led to believe.

Your family didn't, you never went to church, and none of you friends did or ever talked about it?
So, it's a man-made invention then. Lot's of things happen in he universe that we don't understand, so we invent a story of some being who has a certain affinity and ressemblance to us humans and who knows all the answers. How convenient. How male. How sad.
18 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoInternational Financial Crisis = legal sodomy?
I never understand how we allow the rulers of our world get away with legal theft of our money.
It may be perfectly legal, with many governments backing financial institutions but it's all about speculation and the poorer people always suffer.
I wouldn't, would you? Yet they have us over a barrel, our trousers down, with government backing. Perposterous.
Comments please.
