Flooding

[Tough Guy no. 1265]

Nope, anyone buying a house in a flood risk area has only themselves to blame. I don't buy a Lada then complain it didn't last as long as a Ford.

The Government money is what they raise from taxes. Unless the Cabinet are paying out of their own pockets, which I doubt.

Yes, but it's still the government paying for it (without our permission= ). Just like if your brother gave you =A320, and you went and bought so= me cigarettes, the shopkeeper would say "you are paying for the cigarett= es".

Would you like a referendum on this issue? You are insane enough to wish this.

Not in carlisle

[Chris French]

Yes, but I was talking about Holland and the Fens

[Ranger]

Yeah, and getting back to your house before you have to swim back even if you can find one too.

Sounds like you haven't heard of Flood Re which was organised by, you guessed it, the government. With Flood Re there's not exactly true market pricing.

It should have been footed by his parents, as they chose to have him.

Morality costs money. We need to stop it.

Not necessarily.

Not even possible.

Most of us do not have mental health issues: but we don't complain about our taxes being used to fund the treatment of people like you.

People who are ill cannot help it. People in flood plains are just bloody stupid.

[Norman Rowing]

Says he who dresses as a woman lol

but we don't complain about our

[dennis]

In general people don't choose to be ill. They do choose to buy on a flood plane.

[polygonum]

Is that an Ekranoplan? :-)

Now, after me:

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain! By George, she's got it! By George, she's got it! Now, once again where does it rain? On the plain! On the plain! And where's that soggy plain? In Spain! In Spain! The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain! The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!

Usually does. For example keeping people alive who are hardened crimina= ls instead of the death penalty.

Why is it not possible to stop morality? All we need is a decent govern= ment that ignores the dogooders.

If you're bothered by a god-botherer, does that make you god?

[Ranger]

I don?t buy that.

That's not morality.

Not bombing Syria or invading Iraq actually saves a lot of money.

Because some will always want to behave morally.

That wouldn?t stop moral behaviour.

[The Natural Philosopher]

because 'behaving morally' is the perfect excuse for selfish behaviour for some value of 'morality'

There is no moral behaviour because morality in absolute terms is a myth.

Morality is relative to a given culture. In a diverse multicultural environment it has no meaning at all.

Honour killing is extremely moral behaviour, for example. For certain cultures.
