Proof these people are not ready for democracy?

Democracy means accepting the unpalatable sometimes and also accepting others have differing beliefs.

This rather shows that unless you believe their fairy tale then you are alien.

but then, I guess we know that.

When will we see the protests here ?

all threats should be investigated wherever possible.

<Private screening, public screening it matters not>

well i can assure you that if you tell us that your AB ramblings have been turned into a 'Channel 4 Documentary' and we then find that it isn't destined for broadcast but is only going to be a private screening for you and a few chums we would probably feel rather let down.

AOG, i did watch some of the programme as mentioned, i didn't find it that engaging, but that is no reason for some misguided fools to threaten the life of the presenter, seems a very strange world we live in.

Who are 'us people'?

Are we now not allowed to comment on other's postings?

I seem to think you have regularly done the same in the past.

Another gun / barrel / fish interface AOG - who's being touchy now?

That is a very good point you make.

[andy-hughes]

Sorry, I was teasing - please forgive me AOG.

AH, now that's going a bit too far x x

Andy-Hughes, I assume 'these people' means the perpetrators, but if it means more than that, it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen generalisations made about certain groups of people.

No, they are not ready for democracy. In a society that demands deference to one specific dogma and is willing to silence its critics by slaughtering them, there is no room for freedom of thought. Until 'these people' acknowledge and accept that the rest of the world does not revolve around their religion, there can be no democracy, and there can be no peace.

em10 - it was - i can only put it down to my one-hour visit to the dentist to have what feels like half my face drilled off - and the pain-killers wearing off, and putting me in a really bad mood, which is utterly not like me.

I repeat my apology to AOG - it is wrong to bate other AB'ers, and I always take exception when it done to me.

I will be better behaved tomorrow - promise!

[emmie]

good man ^^

I hope your mouth is better tomorrow too, andy
