World Headlines

Wow, is the "Creator" having a bad few days or what the hell is going on?
I'm thinking "she" must be menopausal...

* Wall Street / American financial system in deep trouble, and needing a
huge Federal bailout.
* Oil Price --- biggest 1-day increase in history.
* Venezuela cutting new oil deal with China.
* Russian warships heading to Venezuela, including a "nuclear missile-
cruiser", and several support vessels.
* Iran investigating Nuclear options, and Israel threatening to strike.
* North Korea re-starting Nuclear program.
* All in the middle of a potentially very divisive American election.

Just remember, it's always darkest just before . . . things go completely black! :shock:

One can only assume it's all just a co-incidence, and that the fact that the USA debt is increasingly owned by non-Americans, is just part of that scenario. Or not --- it's certainly beyond our ability to control, and thus worry about

As RFK said, "There is a Chinese curse which says, "May he live in interesting times." Like it or not, we live in interesting times..."

What "Creator" are you referring to? The headline writer? Surely you don't believe that one of the many accepted deities is controlling the animals on our planet like puppets?

Helen, I trust you realize my reference to the "Creator" having a few bad days, was an attempt to make light of some rather serious headlines, and therefore not reflective of any belief, or non-belief, on my part. I aplogize if you took it to mean any more than that.
We all know that the "accepted deities" and a few invited guests, sit down and play some NL Texas Hold'Em every day, and the winner gets to "mess" with the planet. If you don't believe me, just ask malmo :wink:

Are Odin, the Raven, and Hermes invited?

Are Odin, the Raven, and Hermes invited?

Yes, they are on the list . Google up "godchecker", and you can find the names of over 2850 potential players. I have no idea what happens if they all show up at once. Hell to pay, I would think

Satan (are there 2000 other names for his Evilness also?) is LOLing his pointy little tail off. Mick Jagger was right,

"So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste"

Although it is not unprededented, I am seldom moved to admit it but i don't have a clue what this thread is about.

Wolfie, my friend...
The thread was started in recognition of various troublesome headlines from around the World, and quickly evolved into attempts to credit or blame various deities for their role in all the s**t going down. But, I think, all in the spirit of friendly dialogue with e-buddies. Take it for what it is....(air)

[lonewolf]

Ah so!! I did know what is was about..air.
