“The Rose”

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It’s the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It’s the one who won’t be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin’
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun’s love
in the spring becomes the rose.

We were discussing why we drive on the left. I thought it might have something to do with jousting and keeping the heart away from the opponent. I was going to Google for the answer, but I’ve decided to ask the question here instead.

Anyone know the answer?

WHY IN BRITAIN DO WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT?
About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies.
Japan also drive on the leftclick here for this explanation.

This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectly good reason.

Up to the late 1700’s, everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it’s the sensible option for feudal, violent societies of mostly right-handed people.

Jousting knights with their lances under their right arm naturally passed on each other’s right, and if you passed a stranger on the road you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.

Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon.The reason it changed under Napoleon was because he was left handed his armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent.

From then on, any part of the world which was at some time part of the British Empire was thus left hand and any part colonised by the French was right hand.

In America, the French colonised the southern states (Louisiana for instance) and the Canadian east coast (Quebec). The Dutch colonised New York (or New Amsterdam). The Spanish and Portugese colonised the southern Americas. So The British were a minority in shaping the ‘traffic’.

The drive-on-the-right policy was adopted by the USA, which was anxious to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past

Once America drove on the right, left-side driving was ultimately doomed. If you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American, for a period they only manufactured right-hand-drive cars.

From then on many countries changed out of necessity.

Today, the EC would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round.
The last European country to convert to driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of road accident casualties.

Unfortunately we are getting worse for claiming for eveything and anything….

I have first hand knowledge of working with children from violent relationships and its distressing to see the state they leave these poor children in…………..so called responsible people………

We now live in a world that really doesnt give two flying hoots for their neighbours…. were too frightened to help a child whose scared or frightened…………..thats because successive governments have altered the laws and the european court of human rights has made a mockery of our laws………….

Were frightened because we could be arrested for child molestion or common assault…so most people tend to sit back and say get on with it……..

I remember living in a street were everyone knew each other and cared about everyone….. were the young had respect for their elders……..(we may have moaned and groaned) but we still respected them…………..

We need family back………..we need to be able to discipline our children……….we need to look after each other better…….

We also need to have a stronger law to combat these thugs who hurt and kill children because they are bigger, stronger and just downright bullies………
