Yeah, makes you think the guys are in the print works to keep focus off this area.

Crazy.

Whilst you are right in that not everything is actually black and white, the laws need to be. Otherwise they are open to interpretation.

The law is anything but black & white....that's why we have armies of lawyers arguing every nuance of legislation.

The legal age of gay sex is not 18, so you're ok.

It's actually 16. Any reason why you don't agree with it being 18 (or possibly 16)?

You're right. I meant I didn't agree with the legal age being 18, but that didn't mean I was homophobic.

The reason I didn't like it is of no real relevance here. You called someone else Xenophobic because he doesn't like the idea of Sharia law on UK soil without letting him explain why..

Didn't know not agreeing with certain laws makes you Xenophobic...

I don't agree with the legal age of gay sex being 18. Doesn't make me homophobic.

Unless you think it should be 16 like everyone else then YES it does make you homophobic :rolleyes:

French using 90,000 police in these ingoing incidents, they have resources we can only dream about.

We only have 127,000 for the whole of England and Wales.

We'd just use the SAS...

Problem is that most French police aren't very well trained, often they pass the selection process, are given a few weeks of basic training then thrown into the banlieu's of Paris or other big cities. I believe that will be the case with the police woman who was killed yesterday.

How many more people are these islamist terrorists going to kill. They need to go in now.

It's true actually.

The one hallmark of the ignorant I've noticed throughout life is a lack of nuance in thought & perspective.

Everything to them is an integer - decimals are nowhere to be seen.

It of course makes sense, it takes far less cognitive effort than to see the world in all it's complexity with linking & emergent systems - it's far easily to ascribe dualism based thinking to every single facet of life .

Does this also apply to the "nothing to do with Islam" crew?

I don't understand this attitude of oh but it's nothing to do with moderate Islam.... Um? yes it is? it's all part of the same faith.

No. Why would I think that moderate muslims are happy the cartoonists have been murdered? There is zero evidence to support that, nor do I believe it anyway, as I think this was the action of extremists.

Maybe some people are more perceptive than you or question things deeper than you? You accept it on face value with little evidence.

What's the betting it ends up being some deranged idiot that got kosher and halal mixed up...

Unlikely but I wouldn't put it past some of the anti muslim extremists to make that mistake.

Cartoons from Arab newspapers around the world on the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Remember, Muslims are not our enemy, radical Islam is.
