I Do Suppose Nick Griffin should NOT have been on Question Time.

Hmmm...where to start? Should he have been on? Well, there are two things to consider.

If he went on he could have:
         a. Made a complete fool of himself and manage to people against him.
         b. Played his cards right and turn people in his direction.

Nick Griffin is the leader of the BNP (British National Party), who , in a nutshell, want 'British jobs for British workers', and 'British homes for British mothers'. Basically he wants to deport all immigrants, and send them to..anywhere else. Basically. But where do they draw the line?

I was born in America to British born parents, one white, one black, and live in Britain at the moment. Should I stay or should I go? I mean, would I stay or would I go if they are elected into power?

The truth of it is that they're NEVER going to get ANYWHERE near being elected into power, due to the large majority of the public being..well..normal?

The reason immigrants (or emigrants) are being...victimized (?) is because the majority of them working for less money, and they work much harder, and so they are getting the jobs.

The people who have lost their jobs due to the credit crunch,economic downturn...what ever you choose to call it, are looking for someone to blame it on. Here comes Mr. Griffin. Let's blame it on the immigrants!

No.

Let's not.

I Do Suppose We're Making Up Quite A Bit.

Yeah. So, today i as told that part of our eye is..not missing, but just simply not there. Like a kind of hole.

For the part of vision that is not there, your brain makes up the rest, from things it is familiar with.

Have you ever had the feeling something was just lurking around the corner of your eye, and you look, expecting some sort of being to be there, but instead there's...nothing there, so you carry on, feeling slightly on edge and a bit silly?

If so that's the part your eye has made up.


Make a sort of ring shape with each hand, and place it about 5cm ish from you face. What you can see inside those rings, are what you can actually see. The rest is...made up i suppose. 

It's kinda weird really.


And, I know this will sound weird, but I've been searching around, and I've managed to find a way (supposedly) which allows you to make up ALL of your vision:


Basically cut a ping-pong ball in two, and tape the semi-spheres over your eyes. If you leave them there for a while, your brain will get confused as to why it is seeing, yet not seeing anything,and in turn you'll begin to see what ever you want to see.



So you're basically hallucinating, but you can choose what to see?


Awesome. Let's go to a happy place.

I Do Suppose That the universe is a Snow globe.

Well, I honestly think that there is a small possibility  that our whole 'Universe', whatever you actually think that is, may be contained inside a snow globe.

Perhaps, there is ridiculously large people, and they live in a world just like we do, admittedly much bigger obviously. Say one of these people has a table, and on it, the centre of it, is a little pretty snow globe, inside of which, is us.

Think about that for a while, they we could really be that small, and we could just be sitting on somebody's table.

Worst of all, we wouldn't have a clue what was going on.

The question is: How long till our snow globe gets smashed?

I Do Suppose We're All A Bit Stereotypical.

Think of an Englishman. Think of an African. Think of a clever person.


At least one of the above are automatically stereotyped, right? A suit and a monocle, a booming voice, and a nerd with his shirt tucked in above his navel? 


We all do it, but why? So we can kinda relate to each 'character' in the same way? Possibly. Maybe because we've had an experience with someone who is slightly like that? Or it might be because it's just how everybody acts, just the way it is.


Would you still think the same if it wasn't for your peers, parents, society in general?


I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.

I Do Suppose Food Should Be Shared.

I know it would be incredibly laborious, but imagine if ALL of the world's food was shared equally to every single person living within its boundaries.


Wouldn't it be alright? I mean, we might be a bit short on food, singularly, but if EVERYONE had some surely it would be bearable.


If it kept just one child alive for even one second longer  it must be worth it?


Houses in the UK alone are throwing away 3.6m tonnes of food. Three point six million tonnes?!


If that was shared think how many lives could be saved?


Facts:
The world’s billionaires — just 497 people (approximately 0.000008% of the world’s population) — were worth $3.5 trillion (over 7% of world GDP), whilst low income countries (2.4 billion people) accounted for just $1.6 trillion of GDP (3.3%).


According to UNICEF, 25,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”

1.8 billion people who have access to a water source within 1 kilometre, but not in their house or yard, consume around 20 liters per day. In the United Kingdom the average person uses more than 50 litres of water a day flushing toilets (where average daily water usage is about 150 liters a day. The highest average water use in the world is in the US, at 600 liters a day.)


Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.

I Do Suppose "Life Is A Dream"

There are many creation and life theories out there, so I think I should add one more in the equation.


There is a possibility that our life is a dream, my dream to be precise. I've made up the whole world, the whole world's problems and people. I have single handedly created humanity, how people act and feel, and it's all a product of my dream.


So, basically you might be a figment of my imagination.


I could just be a story that some foul beast is dreaming about, and so are you, in that case.

I Do Suppose Paying For Bottled Water Is Just A Bit...Pointless?

Water. We all need it to survive, so we all drink it. We have to. So why should i pay for it?


I'm not entirely sure about the rest of the world, but here in the UK there's actually a law forcing pubs, and any places selling food, to provide free water, from a free flowing tap. Hmmm.


So, any place selling bottled water for an outrageous price legally has to provide free water.


Just remember it the next time you're out, short of cash, need a drink, or just plain feel like it. 


'Evian' backwards is naive.

I Do Suppose Things Depend On How Fast You Think.

Hmm...Yeah. Think about it. The faster you think the slower time goes. It's actually quite hard to get your head around.


Say, I'm running away from a crazy big, wolf-like dog (with rabies), and i need to decide whether to go left, or right.


I think really quickly, and decide to turn right. That time taken, compared to me thinking really slowly, like, after I've just woken up, would be much smaller. So, I've kind of slowed down time. Just for me. Quite cool
