All speculation.

The truth is that this is likely but unknowable. Our knowledge of our physical reality is still far too limited to know.

It doesn't really matter. I'm not worrying about an afterlife or a greater meaning until I know there is one.
Not knowing is a gift in itself. I feel sorry for those who spend their one and only life worrying about the next one that almost certainly doesn't exist.

Rationally it's very unlikely that there is an afterlife, so I agree that there is little point worrying about it.

It's best to just live a good life, attempting to add rather than detract.

Some of these threads feel like eternity.

General Talk used to be much more interesting and fun when all the principal posters of the day regularly got together in Hol meet-ups.......

That echoes what I said really, in that it's the lack of in person contact with the person you're conversing with that leads to this one dimensional view of them, hence a perpetual slanging match that doesn't really reflect reality.

I actually think at this point if some of the 'personalities' here met up there'd be a punch up. With that in mind people should meet up for a mini boxing tournament :-D.

Some of them are too scared to go out I think. It's all them non existent no go areas.

You can go to them but you might not come back.

I read general talk more than any other part of the website.
I enjoy it.

What I mainly use 'General Talk' for is to write about other sports.

Personally I would like a section just for other sports.

I've got a pic somewhere of a Nick Gusset iced fairy cake from a meet up.
