Subject: RE: Patriotism
Two of which are my husband and I, just round the loch. (McMusket, not pit moggy Musket.)

Anyway, who said anything about dialogue? Isnt it better to hound bigotry down so it knows it has no place in society. He isn't in Scotland, he's everywhere. Its called the internet. Read what he puts again, exchange my husband and I for you and your wife and see how long you quietly ignore him.

The Musket you know feels strongly about this too, and has empathy, but tell you what, it is only when you read of how Germans turned the other way in the '30s when Jews were being villified that you feel the need to shout down bigotry.

Not just his honest hatred either. See how hard Keith A of Hertford scours a huge report to draw conclusions that support Akenaton's reasoning, despite both the report and Pit Moggy Musket's post above mentioning the huge under reporting of sub Sahara heterosexual skewing the figures. Every section about gay men in that report begins with pointing out that the vast majority of gay men are not the subject of the report, but read the cherry picking.

Absolutely awful. Luckily, Akenaton is not typical of the people up here and Inverary has a well established mix of people who live side by side in a single community, and I include most of the hamlets around the loch.
