Sim-O

Now this is how you show the powers that be what fools they have been.

Bloggerheads:

Grab yourself a coffee or a nice hot cup of tea and settle in for a little over 7 minutes of me sharing a few things the Home Office – and you – should be aware of:

I don’t see what the problem is with ‘presumed consent’ for organ donation.

After all, when you’re dead, you’re dead. Right?

Of course, various religions and faiths have their own take on it. The Egyptians for instance, kept their insides, albeit inside jars.

When you die, your soul floats off to whatever after life you believe in, but your body stays around for a while. Surely, if your body is needed in the afterlife, surely you’ll be needing it straight from the off. After a while it all turns to mush anyway, which is no good to anyone.

What is needed is a change of attitude. Once that happens there will be plenty of spare organs to give people a new lease of life.
What do you reckon your god would say, if you went to the afterlife after donating your kidney or retina to someone? Do you really think the ultimate beings place isn’t set up for people with sight problems, or not enough toilets for the people with kidney trouble? I reckon any benevolent spirit would probably give you pat on the back for recycling.

Come on, get over your self and donate.

Desertpeace, formerly of blogger, has a new home.
After a bit of trouble at the beginning of this year has gone over to WordPress. And a good looking blog it is too, to go with some quality content.

So if you have a link to Desertpeace.blogspot.com in your sidebar, it needs changing to desertpeace.wordpress.com.
It’s well worth it.

The Telegraph:

Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, has called for an independent inquiry into the decision [of dropping the investigation into BAE/Saudi Arabia]. “Commercial relations are an improper basis under international law to suspend a legal investigation,” he said.

“Knowing this, why did Tony Blair persist in pursuing a legally improper line of argument which could amount to an attempt to pervert the course of justice?”

If nothing else, can’t we get the bastard to court on that?

Have we got to sit through this another 48 times?
I’m bored shitless of it already. Surely it would be better to get it all over with in one night.

The Independent:

Proposed changes to copyright laws will allow owners to move their music legally from CDs to MP3 players.

They would also let owners copy music from a PC to a portable player or to CDs

That’s good news. Very sensible.

…again.

The Guardian:

A British Airways worker who was suspended for wearing a cross around her neck to work has lost her case alleging religious discrimination.
Nadia Eweida, 56, from Twickenham in south-west London, took her case to an employment tribunal after complaining that a manager had banned her wearing the Christian symbol.

Nadia turned down £8500 to settle out of court, and then went and lost the tribunal.

Get over it woman!! Bloody hell, you’re worse than al-Fayed for not being able to let go. After you’re initial appeal BA changed to rules so you could show a cross. But, no. That’s not good enough for you. Is it?

“I’m speechless really because I went to the tribunal to seek justice,”

Never is justice when the decision goes against you, is it, love.

” I cannot be gagged about my faith. It’s not over until God says it’s over.”

Maybe God has said it’s over but he’s done it in a way that means “Pack it in woman. Your embarrassing me!”
