And I'm sure the prolonged campain by the IRA of terrirosing protestant families in the border counties to try and drive them out of their homes and create a catholic majority was just defending themselves too.
I only watched maybe the first 15 minutes as I wasn't feeling well, and I got bored watching every one of them sticking the boot into Gallagher. Not that I particularly like Gallagher but jeez. Also I had to laugh at McGuinness ranting about austerity budgets when His government is busy slashing and burning everything up in the north. I'm sure he will pull his imaginary rabbit friend out of a hat tomorrow and try and look innocent and pure after sticking the knife in with durty politics.
Well in binary 111111 converts to 63. If they were going to do anything they would have done it in 101010 which converts to 42, which as we all know is the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything!
In all seriousness, grow up and actually start helping your fellow man. These pretend conspiracy antics might be entertaining for you but they help precisely nobody, least of all yourself. All that's going to happen in 11/11/11 is that you will have to explain once again why nothing happened.
*Serious Post* Well he would not have had one really. His name in hebrew would have been Yesua, and he would have been called son of Yosef in his home town.
But if you extrapolate it to modern times, then you have to remember that in the middle ages people began to take on Sirnames based on their craft, with exceptions such as clan names and so forth. For example, Smith means that your ancestor was a smith. Michael Schumacher's ancestor would have been a shoemaker. Arnold Schwarzenegger'a ancestor would have been a logger (schwarzenegger literally meaning "black woodsman" meaning a woodsman working in the black forest)
So, from that, its easy to speculate that his name in modern times would have been Jesus Carpenter. :)
I've only met one girl from here so far, and we actually chatted about the different people we were chatting to on the site. Neither of us took offense at that. Everyone chats to more than one person on sites like this. Its expected, and no-one should feel hurt by it.
Greece is a mess of their own making. Hell, in just one glaring example, most of the population actively avoid paying taxes. They should never have been allowed into the Euro in the first place. That said they got taken for a ride by Goldman Sachs who were hired to revamp the Greek economy and instead loaded a ton of their debt into Greece telling them they were safe financial products, then ran before it blew up.
The basic causes are 2 fold (a) The US exporting its debts worldwide as financial products, resulting in everyone getting loaded down with debt when the US Housing boom exploded, much like ours did (b) The creeping effects of the Bernie Maddoff scam which was huge in Europe. 60 billion dollars is a huge hole to fill. Neither of which have much to do as such with the Euro itself.
There are also structural weaknesses. First the worldwide financial system is now based on using loans to pull money from one place to another, rather than simply paying for goods. Second the stock markets are a casino with only hazy attachment to reality.
Sadly one solution is to get off the debt merry go round. We had a brief opportunity but we all decided to have a party and slash taxes leaving no revenue streamwhen the housing bubble collapsed.
Yeah you did the right thing. Chances are you will get on well since the bitterness of the past will have faded and the qualities that led you two to get together will have matured. It may or may not be the start of a new relationship but it will probably be the start of a new friendship at least. Best of luck!
