QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Feb 1 2017, 06:43 PM) Love a google don't we. You can adjust your thinking to what you search for to back up your own tenuous arguments. Here you appear to be suggesting that women in this country are treated on a par with how they are treated in Afghanistan!!! Good job. It's yourfault, you seemed to be criticizing anova cultoor! Know wot I mean? S just cultural differences in it.

QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ Feb 3 2017, 07:52 AM) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/02...re-summer-camp/Yet another report alleging white Christian men used their position of authority and the cover of their complicit religion to abuse children. Bl00dy white christian scum. Worst people in the world. One common theme is Religion. Why not ban it all? Its all mumbo jumbo anyway. You may as well believe in fairies.

Stalin, Hitler, and today Kim, Xi etc, etc, and their camp followers might have been firm, but they knew and know where to draw the line.....Be careful what you wish for!

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Feb 3 2017, 11:52 AM) Title of the thread, "where is the social media outcry" and one idiot posts the one story that's ALL over the media. Sigh. I believe there is a difference between media and "social" media? Not sure though which one spews the most crap!

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Feb 1 2017, 03:48 PM) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-38826211Women are treated like slaves and animals in some countries. But lets all pretend its not happening. Im just surprised Trump the bogeyman has not been blamed. Just whatever you do don't say his name 3 times.... Trump, Trump, Trump.... Candyman.... The point here is that you did here about this story, because the BBC web magazine showed it to you, and you've extraporlated from the report of one heinous crime and infered that this is typical of the treatment of women in not just Afghanistan but other (presumably foreign) countries too. I'm not defending this crime, not at all, it goes without saying that it is utterly barbaric, and Afghanistan does indeed sound like an absolutely terrible place to live, but I'm conscious too that this story conveniently fits a popular narrative. And yes, such barbarity does happen elsewhere: "In 1538 Thomas Barrie spent a whole day with his ears nailed to the pillory in Newbury, England, before having them cut off to release him"* - Set there no doubt by the Winchcombe immolent who the town is soon to venerate with a bronze in the high street. * David Nash Ford (2001), Ghosts from Berkshire Places Beginning with 'N', Finchampstead, Berkshire: Royal Berkshire History, retrieved 25 October 2010.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!
