I apologize for the oxymoron in my earlier message, below: "religious reasons".

[tenneral]

I hadnt spotted that, but Ill watch out for it in future! Good point, and well made too!

It's tough when your religion doesn't allow you to follow the law, huh?! We have a similar situation with pharmacists who won't fill prescriptions for birth control pills because they're overly catholic.

Drop me a line or something - I'm very interested to know what you think of this video and whether or not you think it is a "hate crime". watch?v=dyB0gzTZg_Y

Thanks!

Great video, drchaffee! That's whisking up some flavoursome divinity!!

Sweet, like a ripe water melon. :)

Nice end result but I can't help wondering how she won the original case. Ah, Mary Whitehouse. How I would have liked to have belched (or worse) within her earshot and then given her a friendly wink. She had her nose to far in the air it's a wonder she could breath. FOUL woman.

I believe they erected a statue to Mary Whitehouse, it was the only erection she ever approved of.

What about the muslim police officer that did NOT want to guide the Israeli embassy during Arabs protect outside of it. They assigned him to some other duties. Being a police officer, he is an government employee. He was NOT fired/sacked.

Guess this only applies to christians and NOT muslims. Interesting to which a former great country like the UK go down like the Roman empire did.

Very cute, but 18 as an age of consent is ridiculously high. It would only lead to lots and lots of obviously misplaced statutory rape cases for gay and straight people alike.

Military enrollment is at 16 y.o. in the UK, for petey's sake.

Good news!

[mrwideboy]

What makes me laugh is that homosexuals in the uk wanted to lower the age of concent from 18 to 16, and they went on marchs until it was lowered.

I didn't see ANY 17 year olds on that march mostly middle aged men with leather trousers shaved heads and back packs.

Nor did i see any mother's saying :- "what do we want ...

my son to de done up the arse,

when do we want it, before he is 18"

Here in the US we have pharmacists who are allowed to refuse to fill a patient's prescription if they object to it on religious grounds, usually contraceptives or morning-after pills. I think it's absolutely revolting that somebody can refuse to do their job on religious grounds, as well as override the will of the doctor who's treating the patient. There are signs in pharmacies now saying that they reserve the right to refuse to fill perscriptions. Can you believe it's the 21st century?

I'm not sure if I'm ever comfortable with celebrating another person's death.

[rainbowflags]

That's appropriate, Falwell was a similar type --- causing deliberate harm through religious bigotry.

"Mary Whitehouse is alive in heaven"

Isn't one of the requirements to get into heaven.. is to be DEAD?
