Re: Testing the limits.

Over the years I have become distrustful of Muslims in the same way I distrust politicians....through experience of life....and this in spite of having worked for the Muslim community, and alongside Muslim doctors.
We never saw as many women walking around in black shrouds....and it is not a requirement of Islam it is an affected cultural thing.
Who knows whether the person in this garb is a woman...or maybe a gun toting man with evil in his heart and murder on his mind.

The PC culture has stopped many people from saying what they really feel but it doesn't stop their thoughts.
I have always been honest in what I post....I can be no other way. These are my own opinions...for what they are worth.

Actions cut it words do not.
And I cannot read Facebook, I do not have an account.....do not want an account, will not get an account until hell freezes over.
You should be able to open that link Margaret, I too have a jaundiced aversion to FB but I do like to garner info from as many sources as possible. Your opinions even.
And not to be seen as a "volte face" aka AccyExplorer by me, I do know where you are coming from to some degree.
What chance is there for us when more attention and effort is put into voting for the hapless wannabe's on the X-factor or Strictly than for the important issues of the day?

I can open the link, but I won't have anything to do with Facebook...nothing, Nada Zilch.
I have not formed these opinions lightly........and I appreciate that you sort of get where I am coming from...and No, I do not see it as a U turn in anyway.
We all form our own opinions from our experiences of life...whatever those may be.

Yes, I agree with your comment on voting for X factor....but those who vote for that see it as more relevant in their lives.

There have been times in my life when, although I think I am politically aware...and I do seek to educate myself on things that I am unsure of, that for reasons of conscience I have not been able to vote...preferring to spoil my paper.
I am not apathetic....I take myself down to the polling station but cannot for the life of me award my cross to any of the people on the paper.
