Whoa! Hang on Philip,

Leave me out of this, I think your last post should possibly have been addressed to Clive. If this is the case, I’m sure he will be more than happy to reply to you without me getting involved. This thread was starting to get a bit fraught and confusing earlier on, that’s why Rodel and I decided to leave it.

Just for the record, I have no problems with anyone’s convictions, nor do I think I know it all, as for the world needing free thinkers to improve, I’d say it rather depends on what they’re thinking.

by the way I believe all denominations have a problem with the seventh day adventists calling themselves Christians

Hi Guys,

I have a big wooden spoon, and know how to use it terms of planning and most related matters, which leaves the scope wide open. In this instance, I feel like an arbitrator, as the subject has nothing to do with me, except in the way I was brought up. I had a very good friend, who was a catholic, and I was supposed to be protestant as a result of the way I was raised, but I did not have much time for either of the two as they where always calling each other names, specically in terms of who was sects and who was not, the catholic church was the mother church and the rest was sects. In terms of the Anglican church, the catholic church was the devil, and the baptists, methodists, prebyterians whatever were all sects. The outcome is if you were a presbyterian, the anglicans and the catholics were devils, and the Seventh day Adventists, The watchtowers, Quakers, etc, were sects.
As a result, if you were at the top of the pile in your opinion, anybody below you were sects, and anybody above you bad.

The joke is in real terms, what you are arguing about is a farce, as the catholic and eastern orthodox, that is russian and greek, are all sects, that stem from the original christian church. And, St Peter never had anything to do with this. I am writing this, to show that there is always some space for research.

My friend was my best man in a protestant church, which I left soon afterwards, we have the same ideas today, peace be with all of you, and lets get on with the planning.

Rodel
Ok your right
and here is my other cheek

Hi Rodel,

I think you may have misunderstood what Clive is saying, come to that so might I, but as I understand it Clive has said that all Christians are catholic. Please note the small c. When written with a small c catholic means - pertaining to the whole Christian body or church.

If you want to check the meaning yourself, use the Dictionary Link

The definition is not an opinion, it is a fact, and to say that you disagree with a fact seems just a touch strange to me.

Chris Oggham

Clive,

I fully understand what you’re talking about; it’s just a good sense of humours I believed. But correction, many Christian will not agree with you because not all Christian are catholic. Same belief but big difference takes it from me….

Chris,
Take note, US military base has been ousted in Subic, Philippines. Now election is coming and religion is one big factor of being voted in Philippines as they being dictate by their pastor and head of the religious organization. US are also being part of it now. Politics is one of dirties game in Philippines.

Okay it’s planning time!!!

no its called satire
Charlie advised that Spain had not left a footprint in the Philipines
Satirically I suggested that was not the case as the vast majority of people in the Philipines are RC which they were converted to by the Spanish
IE a fundamental plank of the Spanish Colonisation is alive and well today in the Philipines
I dont see the majority of Philipinos being Anglican or Prespeterian or Methodist or any other proddy deviant element. ie they were not converted by the great nmaster of the US of QA (sorry what did you say George)(whats the Q for)(questionable american)
Now do you get it Rodel

I’m with you Chris,

That explains why majority of the brilliant planners of Philippines are working overseas.

HAHAHA!!!..

You’re so funny Clive, never heard of that before. I was raised by a Roman Catholic family and my son is going to be a priest in Philippines in the future. Do you mean that Filipinos are now dominated by Buddhist?

Rodel
You are not correct and I would reiterate that all Christians are catholic read your cread
as to whether they are Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Protestant and sub divisions therof that is a different matter
The importance here is catholic with a small c rather than a capital.
Ask you son he will advise I am sure

or spain maybe Charlie

Please moderator

Tunisia is in Africa not in the Middle East.
Just a hint not all Arab countries are in the Middle East

Friendly mimoune

I think Charlie’s right on this one. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion as to where Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan actually are but it definitely isn’t South Asia.

They are frequently referred to a transcontinental countries, or Eurasian countries and their location given variously as Asia, Central Asia, Southwestern Asia and Europe.

Take your choice.

Chris Oggham

Hi there. The change has been made.

Thanks.

"Perhaps next is to relocate Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan into Asia."

in the Asia Pacific or South Asia

John,

Well, there ya go!! When I last looked at a map entitled Europe, it included the Scandanavian countries, without specifying that they were "Scandanavia". This is where we have to start defining data sub-sets. Bearing in mind that we have the European Community, those whom are in the European Community but do not use the Euro, those that are Continental Europe, part of the EC but do not use the Euro etc. etc. So, the question is: what criteria should be used to define the countries’ inclusion as part of the generic nomenclature? Is Pluto a planet or not (excluding Goofy’s friend)?

Methinks that consultation with Google is required. Just done that....and hard-luck John: Quoted "Second smallest continent on Earth. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian seas. The continent’s eastern boundary runs along the Ural Mountains and the Ural River." Therefore, it includes the Scandanavian countries.

Cheers.

OK Guys - let’s not get too heavy about this :-)

To start with; I dunno if there is any official definition of North, North East, North West etc. These terms are just used as a general geographical indicator and do not exist in anything other than people’s minds. It’s like saying "Northern Europe": is that Germany, Poland, Denmark, Sweden etc??

I think that best example I had, was when I was working in Texas, USA. A newly-introduced acquaintance asked me where I was from. In my best cut-glass accent, I replied: England, and he quipped: Where in Texas is that?

James :-)

Hi John,

I’ve found exactly the same confusion as you. I once had to write a report giving details of possible locations for the site of a particular project. One of these was Sutherland North East Scotland, which through the action of an ambitious, but not too bright, secretary who thought she knew better ended up as Sunderland North East England.

Her boss was not amused.

Hi Morph,

Some people just have no idea. I was looking at a job that was supposed be in the South West of England. It turned-out to be in the North West. I even informed the agency of this, yet several days later they still hadn’t changed it.
