"just accepted what eminent people said of their own culture."
Bollocks - you made that up, good Christian that you are - it doesn't matter anyway. it's racist, and it's exactly the racist/religious smear that gets petrol poured through letter-boxes by your BNP friends
You put down their tendency to pedophilia to their religious driven culture - can you not stop lying for one minute?
Sorry Mike - can't agree
These discussions can only be wailing walls if we can't discuss them in their full context.
Keith's regular trick is discuss whatever he wants, wherever he wants, then, when he runs into trouble, too try to close that particular avenue by crying 'thread drift'.
He has been quite prepared to discuss this up to now, then, when he became mired in his own distortions, he tries to divert attention away from it.
He once desperately tried to do this on a chemical weapon (I think) thread, then himself drifted off into something completely off topic - when challenged, his reply was "thread drift happens".
Christian - 'I've shit them!' as they used to say in Liverpool
Not suggesting you are doing that, but he certainly is.
I'm afraid Sabra/Shatila will come up again and again as an example of one of the great atrocities brought about by a religion-driven regime - apologies in advance.
Off to sunny Waterford for a few days - have fun!
