Hey NAT, you need to have a word with all these journo and human right types about so called forced sterilisation it Uighur women. It turns out they have the choice of internment / detention. So is is forced sterilisation or. not forced?
China cuts Uighur births with IUDs, abortion, sterilization

A link about Swedish sterilisations?

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostSo if the Chinese state rounded up a group of Uighur women and told them they had to choose between being sterilised or being sent to prison, and some chose sterilisation, would you consider that forced sterilisation?
Noel Coward was as obviously gay as a Mexican table cloth and was able to freely work in military intelligence during the war. He wasn't forced sterilisation.

I'm not sure why you're bringing up forcedTuring had a choice between taking a drug that was supposed to control his urges, as it was seen at the time, or prison. Not quite conversion or death.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostPeople had a choice between conversion and death. You are making a very odd argument. Not sure why.
From here.
Turing’s own counsel hoped to steer the court away from a prison sentence, and alluded to the possibility of organotherapy: “There is treatment which could be given him. I ask you to think that the public interest would not be well served if this man is taken away from the very important work he is doing.” The judge followed the barrister’s lead, sentencing Turing to 12 months’ probation and ordering him to “submit for treatment by a duly qualified medical practitioner at Manchester Royal Infirmary.”
Originally posted by AtW View PostWhat would have happened to Turning had he ended up in prison instead?
The alternative of prison would probably have cost him his job, and with it his access to a computer. Already his arrest had cost him something else that mattered to him: as he told a friend, he would never be able to work for GCHQ again. One of his Bletchley Park colleagues, Joan Clarke, who stayed on as a peacetime codebreaker, confirmed that Turing visited GCHQ’s Eastcote site after the war as a consultant. But now Turing, the perfect patriot, had unwittingly become a security risk.
Whichever way you look at it, it was hardly a decent way to treat a war hero.

"Life Is a Minestrone" is a 1975 song by 10cc and is a deadly accurate barrage of disconnected theories, thoughts and ghastly geographical puns, all tied together by that bizarre nomenclatural observation and reduces the human condition to the contents of a well-stacked pantry...
I'm dancing on the White House lawn
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn
Hanging round the gardens of Babylon
Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up
She gets more fan mail than the Pope
She takes the mickey out of all my phobias
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold Lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa
Had an eyeful of the tower in France
I'm hanging round the gardens of Madison
And the seat of learning
And the flush of success
Relieves a constipated mind
I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner
A fitting menu for a dilettante
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold Lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
Love is a fire of flaming brandy
Upon a crepe suzette
Let's get this romance cooking, honey
But let us not forget
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold Lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
