UBUNTU It can’t hurt !

It seems that some folk are still stuck in the rut of condeming Ubuntu and generaly Linux op systems believing Microsoft can only be the true computer system.

Well despite attempts at finding fault with Ubuntu, remember that there is a wealth of Linux knowledge out there for anyone to tap into for free and if a problem should show its self you only need ask and answers will be given or the problem solved from the inside. Anyhow, if you don’t try you’ll never know. Try a split drive with Ubuntu on half of it, the experience may surprise you.

Politics and Religion

I am getting increasingly worried that I am seeing a trend in Westminster towards a hidden religious agendas with regards to governing people, i.e. the last Prime Minister (Tony Blair) and the replacement (Gordon Brown) new Prime Minister. Can I be the only person to be aware that they both have heavily religious backgrounds? Blair is Christian going Catholic and Brown is from a Scottish preachers family.

Don’t get me wrong, I am very keen to have a country governed by a system that encourages a high moral standard. But this should not involve any kind of faith or belief in any historically invented but unfounded creator or omnipotent being. How do you see it???

Firemen lose life

Yesterday evening fire broke out in a very large furniture showroom (Sofa Super Store) on the edge of Charleston close to Palmetto Jaguar, nine firefighters have lost their lives (part of the building collapsed on them), the worst loss of life for firefighters in the US since 9/11, the last firefighter lost in a fire in Charleston was 40 years ago. The names have not been released as yet but one of them was believed to be a young football coach at Summerville High School.

No other lives were lost, the cause of the fire not released so far.

We can only thank all firemen for.the work they do and the risks they take on our behalf.

Another London Mosque!

So the plan is for the mosque to be so big that people flying in from all over the world for the 2012 Olympics will it see it as the biggest landmark in London, bigger than St Paul’s, Westminster Abbey or Wembley Stadium.

Every one is entitled to their belief but with the growth of Muslim buildings and their ridiculous size I wonder how long it will be before the mistrust in the Muslim faith by the Christian community becomes a more serious local issue in more places than the government will like or admit to.

Appeasing a local religious group is only going to add to alienating the rest of the community.

I thought the official line was to aim for multi-cultural harmony and while I’m sure this is an admirable if not realistic goal the increase in Mosque buildings will only go towards aggravating an already irritating religious sore.
