I don't think you have been paying attention at all :whistle:
Historically it's about Property, Land and Power
nothing to do with luuurve or any such modern liberal relativist nonsense :winkeye:

You are a real passion-killer MrGG. :laugh:

'equal marriage'? You're making this up :laugh:

Quite possibly - rather too many marriages are not equal.

[Flosshilde]

[QUOTE=Beef Oven;298927]Oh, you mean 'same sex marriage' and 'marriage'! It's about love, life-long commitment, until death us do part. The recent concept of 'equal' marriage is for people who are only interested in politics and power struggle, many of whom never wanted to get married and never will. Oh, well, it takes all-sorts I suppose.[/QUOTE

But then there are people who will fight for something not because they personally will benefit, but because others might.




They're generally called 'socialists'.

I can't face reading all these posts but answering the heading; no I'venever felt entirely safe as my family were 'bombed out' in WW2. We survived - we were lucky.

Later working in London the IRA caused msny stressful days. I'm not talkinmg about the politics, just the way we were affected.

One of our number was injured at Canary Wharf. The nearest I got to danger was having a birthday meal with a group of friends in the Sussex in Long Acre. Later that night, in an IRA attack, some people were not so lucky. Nothing is completely safe, that's life.

It matters little to those innocent people who get bombed "by mistake" whether one is operating " under very strict terms
nor do those who are killed in drone strikes and so on

Talking of drone strikes:-

:ok:

What a shame Mr Pee didn't risk lip-cramp & read the text attached to this on the same page


"US drone strikes targeting militants in the tribal area of Pakistan have been ineffective at preventing attacks on Nato troops, a new report has concluded.The International Crisis Group report says that drone strikes have killed a significant number of al Qaeda leaders and commanders of the Pakistan and Afghan Taliban, but also scores of innocent civilians.

Since 2004, there have been at least 350 drone strikes in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) - mostly in North Waziristan, South Waziristan and Kurram.

But the report criticises the killing of civilians through "signature" strikes that target groups of men based on behaviour patterns associated with terrorist activity rather than known identities.

It says: "Drone strikes may disrupt FATA-based militant groups' capacity to plan and execute cross-border attacks on Nato troops and to plot attacks against the US homeland, but they cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Sounds like a step in the right direction to me....
