osullish writes: "A very interesting article on the BBC news site on the death of the floppy disk — people have been proclaiming their death for years, yet each year millions are bought around the world. Who is buying them? Any posters here have any theories where they are going?"

I'm Irish, and at the rate this country is falling apart, they'll be nobody left here to access the internet in a few years. This is typical of the current Irish government, faffing about with silly non-existant problems, while failing to tackle the major problems like the economy, the collapse of the banking sector, the arse falling out of the property market, the child abuse scandal involving the catholic church, the alcoholism of the country, the violent crime thats becoming more prevalent etc. We're €81,000,000,000 in the red due to the cronyism of the banking and construction sector and this is what we waste our time with!

If Satan had the power to corrupt mankind at birth, then why wouldn't he corrupt all of us? Satan had to tempt Eve with the apple, he was unable to reach into her mind and corrupt her directly. Satan can only tempt to corrupt, but mankind must make the choice to sin. The Bible is consistent on the theme of choice and free will. But there is, now and then, rare cases in the Bible where the free will of man is overruled by evil. When is this?

Also, what accounts for the limited numbers of gay people? Why are there only a few, a minor percentage? What limits the power of this corrupting force?

I've spoken too much, but I await Pudge's answer. I think the rest of you are baiting fools, and I await the answer of another Christian.
