Aww! I can only suppose someone said something nasty about me and I never got to read it! Shame that :p

You may suppose whatever suits you.

You’re the Christian, mate. Not me. 🙂

XL Airways, wasn’t it?

In some respects you are right Joey, but there is also ‘do unto others as they do unto you’. As i said i am a christian and proud of it, but there comes a point when even our humanity can be tested by those whose authority and rules we are told and expected to follow.

I’m an atheist and even I, godless heathen that I am, know that the quote is either “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matthew 7:12) or “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise” (Luke 6:31), usually rendered as “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” in modern English.

These seem to have the opposite meaning to the quote mentioned in your posting.

Do you have a reference for it?

I’ve had to delete another posting that was little more than an intemperate rant directed at an individual member.

Once again, please discuss the subject of the thread, and not one another.

Thanks

ps.. I agree with BSG-75.

It seems however that I have at least succeeded in highlighting the fact that the British army were not the angels they like to portray and are guilty of countless acts of horrible torture, many of which I am sure remain hidden by the British state.

You have done nothing of the sort.

You have expressed your own opinion on these matters.

There’s nothing wrong with that – that’s what these forums are here for – but you won’t get away with pretending that your own (clearly highly subjective) opinions are anything more than just that.

OMG! All the relevant posts have moved to this thread, these mods are magicians!!

Witness our power, and tremble!

And while you’re at it, remember that among the readers of this thread are people who have been directly affected by outrages perpetrated by Irish ‘freedom fighters’ of all brands, whether at first hand or at second hand. Events that you are too young to remember.

Whatever your own personal beliefs, a little respect for their feelings wouldn’t go amiss. Please bear this in mind.

And finally wl745, let’s not go there, eh?

Now, pray continue…..

Indeed so.

Most of whom are vehemently opposed to ‘Sharia Law’ and decry public executions in Iran and elsewhere.

Nothing like a good paradox on a Monday morning, is there? 😎
