Racist? No, don't give a damn about the colour of anyone's skin or where they are from but if you live over here you have to live within certain parameters that's all.

GricerTwunt in "People should live by the rule of law" shocker.
Give it up, your intellectual apparatus really is not up to scratch.

can I just ask why you assume I'm a sockie - I'm having a discussion on an ethical issue here. Don't such things concern any of you lot or do you just not care?

Why do you care? animals, like us, 'are just an accidental collection of atoms' (Epicurus). Pain and fear are just a chemical illusion to help you survive nothing more.

Aristotle was wrong, we have no more function than a virus which is to replicate our DNA or RNA (virus).


Just enjoy your all too brief illusion of existence.

Bloody hell Gibbon - thats a bit deep!

Yes, freedom of religion is one of those parameters, thankfully.

So, taking this to another level, you think that certain sects circumcising their daughters is ok? No, of course not because it's not legal and quite rightly so. Ritual slaughter (without stunning) WAS not legal - the law was modified in the name of religious freedom. Wrong. What other modifications to the law do you think could be made in the name of religious freedom?? Certain tenets of Shariah law perhaps?

But quite correct.

[Churchill]

But quite correct.

In your opinion.

A lot of other people have one that differs.
