QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Oct 22 2016, 10:33 AM) Strange, must of missed the reports of Donald beheading people. Still, he is American so who knew! Correct, it's "Old Sparky" there. Not very "christian".

QUOTE (newres @ Oct 22 2016, 10:54 AM) Correct, it's "Old Sparky" there. Not very "christian". Are you comparing the beheading of innocent civilians with the execution of multiple murderers? Cos that what it seems like to me. Executions in my view should only ever be performed on those individuals that have committed heinous crimes, with 100% proof and where the inmate wants to die. Not quite the same as throwing gay people off high rise buildings in the name of "religion"!😞

It was about the treatment of women. QUOTE (gel @ Oct 21 2016, 12:46 PM) This particular ethnic/religious group have a well known belief that women are not their equals in any sense That said, I'm fairly sure beheading people isn't prevalent in any particular ethnic/religious group.

They dont have any issues with fundamentilasim....I blame the British. Imperialist bastewards. Twas only yesterday we were conquering the world and we dont give any money per capita to the rest of the world. Linekar and Allen are right. I apologise on behalf of the British people.....

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Oct 22 2016, 04:31 PM) we dont give any money per capita to the rest of the world. That is utter nonsense. Selective quotes from http://www.theweek.co.uk/63394/where-exact...-foreign-aid-go : QUOTE Britain is a significant contributor to helping developing countries. In 2015, for the third year running, the government met its commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of gross national income on foreign aid, with the official budget rising to £12.2bn. QUOTE With only six countries meeting the UN-defined 0.7 per cent goal,... In my view, this is a laudable achievement, although a fair amount of that article has some unpleasant comments.
