Reply to: Should the UK respect the cultures of other countries?

Which must explain why the UK is the most unequal country in the EU according to the GINI which measures distribution of income among a nation’s residents and is one of the most commonly used indicators of inequality: http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/sites...t/ef1510en.pdf

But for the Eurosceptics here, ignore the report as it was funded by the EU

Let him believe England is the best....

[darmstadt]

True, completely so.

That being said the UK is in a very small minority with having gender equality enshrined not only in law, but in practice. More than a few European countries may have the laws, but they ignore them. Whole swathes of the world officially treat the genders differently, it may be objectionable to us, but misogynist behaviour is the norm.

sadly I fear this is nothing more than an official excuse for dirty old men too get their jollies from looking at the jack dannies of young virgin's

these people really do need to go extinct quite soon.

And they don't just want to look.

The sooner they are helped on their way the better. The UK should invade Indonesia and make it part of the Empire.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. MF's Todger with a magnifying glass

I miss those days before kids, wife and a dog. Free to roam the world, stocking up my tat shop. I learnt both Indonesian and Thai. Travelled around both countries, islands. Been on the top of an active volcano at 3am gazing at the stars and lava. Motor biking around Northern Thailand, Laos. Being chased by opium drug smugglers with machetes in Burma. Fights with drug dealers in Katmandu. Staring at the Milky Way at the top of the Himalayas, watching the static of your yak sheets burst into colour in the dry air, buying and taking school supplies to refuges in the Golden triangle, seeing who had the biggest todger in a ladyboy Thai boxing changing room.

And here I am texting in a expensive wine bar in Santana Rowe with designer clad Silicon Valley American wannabes laughing loudly and listening to a covers band of middle aged hippies.

Sigh. When did I sell out.

Could you find it among the rolls of fat?

I got propositioned on about my 2nd day there. Not by a woman unfortunately. Mind you that was a long time ago. Indonesia is not the relatively tolerant Muslim country it used to be, like all the others it's getting more extreme every year.

....

Are beer and blow jobs allowed in Wales?!?! Erections are now banned in Scotland.

Whereas erections are held in Japan every 4 years.

And no, we shouldn't respect any culture that is so backwards that it uses religion to justify such barbaric practices.

Would not surprise if it gets load of money from Saudi which than sets up its Wahabi/Salafist schools there and lobbies the government.

[xoggoth]

When I was younger, I was propositioned so many times
