Just seen the perfect stocking filler for you. It’s called The Horologican
by Mark Forsyth. I think you’ll like it. :)

Spartacus

I’ll have a look when I next get a chance. Sounds like it could be amusing!

Dictionary does not agree with you Ed.

Maybe you meant to write Integral to the continuity of a liberal society is the capacity of its citizens to procreate.

Just one more banging tin using cap lock to clang a bit louder.

Surveys show that the younger part of the population are more accepting of same sex couples. As a younger person I can say quite honestly I don’t know anyone who around my age and in similar social groups who has a problem with them. This forum is the really the first place iv come across such open negative views in such number. I think if any kids do pick up such views it’s from the parents whose views are becoming more open too.

I think it’s worth pointing out that they can already adopt as well. I was mistaken before for thinking otherwise.

I did know someone with two dads. I knew them well enough to know they wouldn’t have traded them in. They did get a bit of ribbing but that’s generally part of being a kid. We all get it same sex parents or not. I think they would be twenty sevenish now and a lots changed again since they were at school too.

did you see question time last night? The panelists and audience had obviously been reading TIG as they had all the same comments that we have discussed!

Dani = lady in red check shirt
PLP = Lord Bilimoria
Spartacus = Peter Hitchins
Benedict = lady in yellow
Neil Forman = Will Self
Gavin St Pier = Justine Greening (!)

It’s on iplayer if anyone missed it. It was the first question up.

Integral to the continuity of a liberal society is the capacity of its citizens to appreciate and embrace the different articles of faith that exist with in it. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself for using a word such as ‘perverted’. Your fatuous remarks suggests that you lack the capacity to embrace contextual changes, but instead show hostility towards aspects of society that appear alien to you. DISGUSTING !

Don’t let them get to you, they go on and on about how they are discriminated against and yet as soon as you don’t let them have everything they want, they discriminate against people who see through their perverted ways. Last time they were banging on about 16 year old kids and anyone who didn’t agree was homophobic, this time it seems as though we are people who make butter! Honestly that is quite desperate.
The shower who wrote the link above are the ones that are really scraping the barrel if the best they can insult you with is a story about people who enjoy museums.

There are still good sensible people that use common sense and decency as you can see throughout this discussion. Don’t be put off by a minority of hollow tins, banging and clanging in an attempt to intimidate others.

Thank you Marcouf and others for keeping it real.

I am only trying to help you understand a news item and so I don’t keep case notes! I haven’t been blessed with a retentive brain like you have, but I do my best.

I haven’t got any issues to take up with others on this matter, if some churches wish to go down this route, then that is up to them (as long as they don’t pretend that they are acting in accordance with Gods will)

Human beings do make laws, and unfortunately, they are not always very wise ones as they tend to favour the perpetrators over the victims.

I think several contributers even today have added many different reasons why this suggestion cannot work and I have to question whether it might be you that might not “read what they are saying”

You can’t blame me for asking. Plenty of people comment on here, sometimes saying similar things to myself but you always have something to say to me when you do comment.

If you find the idea of knowing me so noxious you can always stop engaging with me…
