Just heard on the news that a 13 year old, downs syndrome girl has been locked up for blasphemy in Pakistan, after burning pages of the Koran.
Never mind, lets save all our hatred for those nasty capilist Americans.
(I think thats the default view on this forum.)

Don't read if easily offended.
Religion is like a penis. be proud of it if you want but keep it in your home, don't wave it around in public and above all don't ram it down children's throats.

I find it quite disturbing that you can take such a story
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19315210 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19315210)
Then use it against another member to score brownie points for what ever reason.

I think 99% of the members might disagree with you,
but thanks for the vote of confidence in forum members :-X

I notice Pete doesn't want to join the debate on this one.

Not sure why you are on the attack for Pete, not sounding very good to be honest - on one post - fair enough but it's on several verging on rants. Be dignified about your issues.

Because for some reason, when I post something he disagrees with, he comments on the number of posts/threads started by me. I don't know why as I'm not aware of any rule saying you have to post x number of times, nor do I think the number of posts I start has any relevance to whatever issue we are debating. Whats more, he doesn't make the same comment towards other people who may have posted less.
However, he has made the comment several times now, the latest last night. I am simply trying to point out some of the posts that I have started. I agree its a bit petty, so maybe he should get back to discussing the issue at point rather than obsessing how often I contribute. I'm entitled to my views just as much as anyone else, and it shouldn't be linked to how often I post.
Care to respond to that, Pete!

Ok
-
Umm im seeing this going the way the other forum did...just play nice people eh
-
Hopefully not Emmz, K4B is just probably needing to let off steam (as we all do sometimes), some good posts come from him.
Hopefully it will settle.
-
Thanks OC.
I really don't have a problem with Pete, and in reality we probably agree on more than we disagree. However, that doesn't mean we have to agree on everything and we probably look at things from different angles, but wanting the same outcome. We are both big enough to put up with each other.

>> We are both big enough to put up with each other.
Not true. I would ban you now if it was my decision. And as to the "Some peope are just low life scum" thread, you should be ashamed.
-
Lol, I even like your sense of humour.
(I happen to think that people who try to make excuses for alleged rapists should be ashamed of themselves but we are both entitled to our views) (Unless that is, your a hypocrite and think free speech should only be entitled to those who agree with you, which was the main fault with the other forum.)

Give it up and grow a pair please :-X

I'm trying to be diplomatic OC ;)
Not sure if it's working ::)
TBH, as long as it's contained in the 'Political' thread, I don't care C:-)
No Pm's or post cuts have been made so far. Let's hope it stays that way :)
-
Yes I know you are Fly.
Not sure how it's all come about, don't really use the politics bit much, no time for any of them.
Both are handling it very well me finks ;)
It'll be fine I'm sure :)

I'm tempted to believe it - there's nothing worse than a criminal with god on his side.
We'll see.

Hopefully the poor girl will get released.

She's got bail for now :)

Sounds hoepful that she may be let free of this charge, it's sounding like a demented plot against Christians
