You need to get a PS3 and some Grand Theft Auto games. Murder and theft with a great soundtrack. The answer to modern life’s problems.

I loved your e-card, Noel. Thank you for thinking of me. And it was a pleasure having you as a fellow Twig-let this year. Looking forward to many more creative conversations next year.

Comment on Saying thank you to your enemies… by NoelG

Paul, I agree. Where the behaviour is unacceptable: challenge it. For evil to thrive good people merely need to do nothing.

A challenge to me though is behaviour, an action if you like. The state of mind remains the same – I feel one can still remain grateful for the potential opportunity to see something differently. While at the same time still wish to change the offending behaviour.

I am fairly sure that thanking ones enemy whilst at the same time challenging them could a useful tactic. I suspect it might throw some people off their stride!

I agree that as a general principle this is a powerful tactic and a wise approach. I am not sure this means one should never challenge an “enemy” about their behaviour.

I seem to remember the Dalai Lama even giving that old war criminal GWB a dose of love. He told him that he loved him for what we was, he just couldn’t understand some of the things he had done.

I also read that, unlike Dubbya, Obama is not going to meet with the Dalai Lama.

Comment on 63% of US teachers buy food – for their students. by Vandy Massey

This is a shocking statistic. How do we justify spending millions (actually, probably billions) on weapons and wars, when children in our own countries are starving. I have no doubt that to some extent this applies in the UK as well, although I hope to a lesser degree.

Our priorities are just so off-the-mark it’s terrifying.

Never read the book. If the book is that much better – it is now on my Xmas list!

I didn’t like End of the Affair- thought it didn’t do Greene justice. I really like his books, esp. Our Man in Havana – would love to see that adapted today.
