Islam do not have a monopoly on religious bampots, Anna.

Martyrs is what they have, an instant passort to Paradise and seven virgins for their pleasure after killing people.
And if you believe seven virgins are waiting for you in Paradise then you are totally twp.

Christian Fundamentalists in the US of A believe that the planet is no more that 5,000 years old and that Intelligent Design is a proven evolutionary mechanism.

I agree, amsey ...

This evening I've just seen David Baddiel on television declare to the world that he's 'a fundamentalist atheist' bampot. Presumably he has as much evidence to support his 'fundamentalism' as the 'Christian fundamentalist' bampots.

However, to be fair, this particular 'fundamentalist' religious bampot might not have realised he was off-stage.

While you are an apologist for the scores of innocent men, women and children murdered by 'cowardly' drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan (which are meant to be America's allies)

You sicken me.

[MrGongGong]

You sicken me.

How nice of you to say so

[amateur51]

You sicken me.

That's the problem.You have such a simplistic view of the world and its ills, it's all black and white, no shades.

[Beef Oven!]

You sicken me.

That was the intention of course. Try not to fall for it.

Actually
I don't think that's anyones intention at all ......... but mr Pee does have a tendency to do the "Bear of Little Brain" thing......

Speak for yourself ;-)

I'm not playing silly games, even if you are.

Yes, I take the simplistic view that it is wrong for a bunch of murderers to walk into a crowded shopping centre and start spraying bullets around, whatever twisted logic you choose to use to excuse it.

You're not even trying to make it look as though your lips aren't moving, are you?

NO one has done that
That is in your head matey

I take the "simplistic" view that selling arms to dodgy states is immoral
BUT you seem to think it's fine
I take the "simplistic view" that it's probably not a good idea to allow countries to posses illegal nuclear weapons
BUT you seem to think it's fine

Daniel Barenboim wrote an interesting book about music called........ "Everything is Connected" I don't suppose that makes sense to you ?

Heavily indebted to Edward Said, I'd say.

I see you're back to your 2Ws=R argument ;-)

I really don't understand why some people find those such difficult ideas to deal with.

Not at all
I'm back with the idea that
maybe understanding the reasons why some things take place ISN'T the same as supporting the things that take place
but some folks (as TS) seem to have a problem with that ..........

Educational psychologists would call it "modelling"
You can't expect people to abide by what are civilised ways of behaving if you yourself are breaking them somewhere else
You can't expect your teenage children NOT to start smoking if at the same time as saying it's a bad thing, you nip out for a crafty fag in the ad break ........ simple really

The problem is that it's not in our "national interest" to be ethical
None of which is excusing terrible things that delusional people do
