Good morning one and all
Assisted dying debate: Tony Nicklinson

I saw this on the news this morning, whats your thoughts?

Alt: Desert island kitchen, if you could only choose 12 ingredients to live on for the rest of your life what would they be? More importantly what would you cook?

I think you need a proper process where something is legally signed
Either as some kind of living will or via lawyers after this happens. It then goes in front of a judge who checks everything is legal and asks again if this is what they want

As for ingredients: cheese, bread, butter, beef, pasta, tomato, chilli, potato, rice, bacon, egg, onion

I think you could knock up a few different dishes with that lot

Difficult one. He wants to end his life because its shit
But he can still read the books of Stephenie Meyer, appreciate the music of David Bowie and the films of Michael Bay. He can go to a gallery and take in works of art created by Tracy Emin. He can travel and take in the rich cultures of countries like Iraq and Zimbabwe. Perhaps he should stop trying to die and start trying to live a bit.

Alt. Rice, Pasta, Potato, Mushrooms, Beef, Chicken, Milk, Tomato, Chilli, Basil, Sugar, Egg. The milk is cheating because I would use it to make cheese, cream and butter. Oh and delicious curds and whey.

Thought for the day: in Islam it is considered arrogant and disrespectful to create images of people and animals of any kind - let alone of God or 'the prophet'. With this in mind is it not a little odd that it is deemed perfectly OK to actually name your son after Mohamed, as millions of imaginative Muslim parents do? So likening your progeny to their holiest prophet = fine, drawing a picture of a mangy dog = BURN HIM!!!!

i'm sure there are many more temperate muslims out there than most of us will ever get to see.

the only time i ever saw a muslim getting upset over a drawing was when that danish guy drew mohammed with a bomb on his head, and if someone in the middle east had done something similar in the middle east with a picture of jesus bombing afghan villages for oil, the church in this country would be just as pissed off, although it would probably only be the fundamentalists in the states burning flags and effigies, we brits are too ncie for all that

I've studied Islamic art.
I can tell you now that human and animal representation is forbidden in the vast, vast majority of the Islamic world and has been since the C16th - and it's been getting more rabid since the end of the Ottoman Empire who were quite reasonable on such matters. Even their plant motifs are generally not based on real, identifiable plants for the same reason.

The only main exception still in evidence today is the tradition of wall painting found in Egypt along the main Hajj routes, where they do some (frankly shit) murals showing pilgims. Even there, their spasticated rules mean that they *deliberately* miss out shading, shadows etc so that they don't think they are trying to copy God. The end result is that perfectly decent artists deliberately do paintings that look like they were done by children.

Hope this helps x
