So why are all the numerous religious threads still in The Sandpit?

Being a prefect is a thankless task, but that is very inconsistent.

Re: POLITE REQUEST

Just to clarify something, it wasn't mikewot who moved the thread, so please don't shoot the messenger.

I'm going to see if we can move it back for you but I've got a feeling that it may have been merged with another thread so it may not be possible.

Please bear with me while I figure it out.

Thanks

Re: POLITE REQUEST

I was able to rescue this thread and have moved it back. (Unfortunately the other thread has been merged with one already running in TIO.)

However the same site rules apply as they always do, no inappropriate comments, personal attacks etc ... or else I'll move it to TIO ... or worse I'll close it

Not a big fan of history when you were at school I take it?

Did you also think that music was "just noise" and swimming "getting wet for no reason" etc etc?

if only some of our political leaders looked at history more , learning by past mistakes etc .

Or people generally come to that. You make a mistake and you learn from it.
