For heaven's sake, Jim, learn what 'potential' means. We are ALL 'potential' rapists, thieves, murderers, whatever ~~ the point is, most of us resist fulfilling these potentials; & so do the vast majority of British Pakistanis too as we have never tired of saying: but a %ge, small but disproportionate to their numbers, don't.

As to your going on about RCs, I repeat that "Oh, so what about ... then!" is a childish, foolish, *desperate* argument, merely intended to divert from the main point. We are not talking about RCs, so leave them out for heaven's sake, and stop trying to muddy the issue in this unworthy & unintelligent fashion. I say again, Jim; I am disappointed in your fatuous, doctrinaire, prejudged approach to this topic altogether. I expect better of a man of your intellect.

So I am starting to sound like Keith, am I? So what? I have not hidden my agreement with Keith on this issue for a second. You, OTOH, are starting to sound like grotty·stinky·offensive· foulmouth·lamebrain Lox. I know which I'd sooner sound like. How about you?
