My faith tells me that, if these people have behaved in the way you say they have, then all will be rectified in the Hereafter. And that includes recompense to those they injured; i.e., those they injured in this life will find that the 'scrotes' actually benefitted them by forcing them to suffer in this life and guaranteeing them a reward in the next, which, of course, is eternal. Trials and tribulations beset us all. It's how we deal with them that is more important than the trials themselves and we will be judged on how we deal with them. Being a victim in this life is like getting a boon in the next life. Unless, of course, one 'plays' the role of the victim when, in fact, they aren't. All things get redressed later-->equal and opposite reaction-->karma. Whilst one may need faith to accept the outer two of my previous statements, the strict scientist can appreciate the middle one. And the strict scientist must know that this 'equal and opposite reaction' is strictly enforced. So don't wish on them (the scrotes) any ill, for they will get what they deserve, either here and now or there and later....and live KNOWING that. > On 19 Feb, 11:47, Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > On 18 Feb, 13:00, Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On 18 Feb, 03:52, Slip Disc <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > It doesn't really matter fidd, we're only heading toward a nuclear > > > > holocaust anyway and the threat of such is currently escalating. > > > > Haven't you heard?
