Re: It won't be me..

Another thing that really got up my nose was the House of Lords, the week before last, refusing a posthumous pardon for Alan Turing.

For those of you who are not familiar with Turing's story and why a pardon matters so much, read this....

The people needing forgiveness are the ones that prosecuted him and chemically castrated him?

No Bob, just looking for the truth, the world lost a gifted man with plenty to offer when he was left broken and biting on that apple he poisoned, at least he found himself some peace.

Less is right.

He, like many other good, decent people, did break the law.

Unjust, cruel laws.

He doesn't need a mealy-mouthed, retrospective pardon.

Today society has reclaimed him.

Reclaimed him as a genius, who because of his immense mental capabilities helped this country remain a democracy, and who took his life because he lived in unenlightened times.

Manchester recognised him years ago by naming a road after him.

All the way through history genius has been a different animal to we mere mortals,

sexual 'preference'? Orientation? Isn't the same as sexual deviance.

Some are much too busy slavering over their bacha bazis, to spend anytime worrying over Cameron's plan.

Still, at least their wives and daughters are left in peace.

Re: It won't be me..

Not exactly what you might call 'Great Art' is it?

It seems the more I learn about the religion of peace the more I wish I hadn't bothered.

The truly frightening thing of course is that a lot of these dancing boys actually choose to do this as a way of bettering themselves. I heard one explain on the radio the other week that he hoped one day to be a 'war lord' too, so that he could keep dancing boys of his own.

And to think that the gormless Americans boasted of bombing Afghanistan back to the stone age. *

Be honest Bob, every religion wants to justify itself, whatever could be wrong with slaying a few Dragons now and then?

(Unless of course you happen to be a Dragon?).

I've been watching the new series on BBC4 about Catholics.

The first programme was about a seminary in Chelsea, in which it was revealed that there were only seventeen new priests ordained in the U.K. last year.

This week's programme was about a primary school in Chipping.

Great kids, nice teachers, jolly priest.

However, I was genuinely shocked at what they were being taught, as part of their state funded education.

Flesh eating, blood drinking, kissing the feet of idols, not listening to fallen angels, as you'd go straight to the fires of eternal Hell.

If it had been about any other religion, and not Christianity, there'd be outrage.
