The Bible is not a very accurate guide to life. Shall we leave it there, albeit commandments on stoning cheeky kids to death could be a good idea.
n.b. with regards to Mr Langham he did wrong, but if we're punishing him for what he thought, sorry but that is scary territory.
I've always wanted to do Queen Liz, and Phil the Greek Russian stylee whilst the Corgis watch.
Does that mean I should be beheaded.
If I draw a picture of it and stick it on the web, should I be beheaded twice.
Quote: James Williams @ February 19, 2008, 1:39 AMBy the by, don't for a second think that we live in an overly liberal country. 'Political correctness' is not liberalism. It's a lack of understanding. Our country seems to get more divided all the time. People love to moan about PC Britain. These views are reinforced by papers like The Daily Mail, which pretty much fabricate stories about "immigrants take our jobs", "Muslims ban Christmas" etc. because people lap it up like mindless fools.
Wiki thoughtcrime and you'll see Britain gets an honourable mention for having a huge network of CCTV cameras.
IMO people in Britain are increasingly suspicious and right-wing.
Hey the Muslims can ban christmas for them for all I care. I have no problem in whose job they have, blah blah. Also I do not read the Daily Mail. I have a problem with the terrorists amongst us. Not the peace loving,cultures.

I didn't say you did!!
I try and read it at times though, it's sort of part of the job. And I think it's necessary and healthy to read stuff you don't agree with. So long as noone arrests me for doing it!!
If one was to add up all the assaults on minorities, vandalising of non COE churches, temples etc, homophobic attacks, and lets not forget the Mardi Gras bomber.
Then white UK residents are the most dangerous violent, terrorists in the UK. As for funding terrorists, how much money do we send to US, and Israel?
Lock up all white people I say.
James.
I do confess to flipping through the News Of The World on a sunday.
That is my husbands paper.
Oh & respect to The Sun for their Help The Heroes campaign.
Maybe we should put an arrest warrent out for God. The hidden hand behind all these woes. Though how would you water board The All Mighty?
n.b. with regards to being arrested for thought crimes
Up until the early 20th century, people who failed at suicide could be hung for attempted murder.
Another point:
If one starts fearing everything, over-tightening laws, abandoning liberties and our Western way of life, then the terrorists have won. They exist to terrorise, demoralise and destroy. This is what they are trying to achieve. I've read some of the letters, transcripts and stuff from these people and it's quite chilling.
The Bible is the greatest story ever written.
I believe a group of people, got together one time on a rock. They had a discussion about how shit the world was becoming & wrote it amongst them.
I mean there is some good magic shit in there. Maybe that J. K. Rowling was there.
I read The Sun for the peculiar news stories.
and the tits.

I bet.
I also borrowed a book but I can not remember the name of it. It was based on the life of a young child who became a suicide bomber. He wrote it himself before he died. He was actually doing it, to get back at some other religious fanatics who murdered his family.He used the Taliban to gain the skills to do it.
Absoultely here and here, and I already said that.
Sigh no one listens to me.
They want two things. Too change our way of life, and to prevent their own people being accepted into our society.
If we talk to the calmer members of their community, and deal with them in a dignified legal manner, we can silence and emasculate them.
In the end it's how the IRA was defeated. Not to mention the PLO.
I am listening Sootyj.
Hooray for the Sun, it's cheaper and funnier than Viz.
Some people actually think it's a newspaper.
Loved the bash the Bishop campaign.
The Sun is funny. My man loves it. Probably for the tits too James lol.
Quote: sootyj @ February 19, 2008, 1:05 AMFine delighted to finally have my words, rather than personage challenged. We're all entitled to our opinions, and that includes people who we disagree with.
Sooty, I wasn't attacking your personage mate, I was just making fun of your name! We do that here! It's just light hearted banter, no offence meant on my side.
I still can't equate your argument with the illegality of being in possession of child pornography. I still think it should be illegal to download and possess child porn. I do think it is more difficult with terrorist material as it is harder to define what it is. Even so, we have to fight crime somehow, and I feel we have to give the police some powers to arrest suspects, crime prevention being the objective.
