are u serious ? ppl fall out of love and adultry will happen , its part of life , stoned for it ????
“Falling out of love” doesn’t necessarily confer upon either party the ‘right’ to have sexual intercourse with an other person, nor should it provide an excuse to do so.
Sharia law in this particular respect makes a thoroughly good point. If you enter into a marriage contract with somebody, then you have made a commitment not to betray them by having intercourse with somebody else. I don’t see the problem with this.
Agreed the penalty, usually directed towards females, sems to be pretty severe by our (Western) standards. Public stoning is rather severe. Maybe instead we could adopt the medieval custom of putting people in the stocks and bunging rotten fruit at them.
Well I’m not so sure about all this. Sharia has quite a lot going for it when you think about it. Stoning adulterers …. well why not???
OK so a few early birds would get a bit battered and bruised, but the rest would get the message ‘PDQ’ and it would in time bring down the illegitimate birth rate. THAT would save us all a lot of money.
Women to wear full islamic dress in public – covering themselves from head to toe. Well in a lot of cases that would be a positive improvement. No more rolls of lard with belly button piercings on full display.
Cut the hand off thieves – wow that’s a real winner. It would stop theft overnight. Mind you, most of the male population of Liverpool would soon be on disability benefit.
Yup, Sharia law sure is the way to go.

…………… they now want it banned everywhere, so that the only place you would be able to smoke would be the privacy of your own home :twisted:
It should be banned everywhere – including in your own home.
Lets see the anti smoking Nazis put their money where their mouth is.

SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH
it costs the country billions every year treating people with smoking related disease……
Excellent point minim. Now all the government has to do is to introduce an Act of Parliament totally banning the sale of use of cigarettes anywhere …. and treat those caught in possession of tobacco in the same way as those caught with Class A, B, or C drugs ….. and whoooosh – the smoking related issues will end.
Oh and there’s just one more thing.
As you can see ( http://www.the-tma.org.uk/tobacco-tax-revenue.aspx) the total revenue raised from tobacco tax and VAT amounted to £10 BILLION according to the last published numbers.
Clearly this would be all lost to the Exchequer – but as there would be an enormous saving to the NHS – maybe we could reduce THEIR budget by that same £10 billion.
Never eat yellow snow.
So Stephen Morgan orders two pizzas for home delivery.
They arrive exactly as ordered.
He starts a row claiming that he ALSO ordered two hamburgers as well and refuses to pay anything at all until and unless the two ‘missing’ hamburgers are delivered.
The hapless delivery guy goes off without any money whilst Morgan and his partner settle down to scoff the (unpaid for) pizzas, no doubt smirking as they have put one over on the local takeaway.
The delivery guy returns with the two so-called ‘missing’ hamburgers and asks for the money for ALL the food.
Morgan then starts yet another row and refuses to pay any money at all and “criminally damages” the burgers (i.e throws them onto the ground thus rendering them uneatable) and tells the delivery guy to piss off.
So the delivery guy – or his boss – calls the Police. Is this REALLY so unreasonable????
Trying to stitch up takeaway delivery guys by refusing to pay; making unrealistic and unwarranted complaints; or, in certain parts of London for example, intercepting them on arrival and simply stealing the food …. is more common than you might think.
A criminal offence was committed and was quite rightly reported to Police. They in turn quite rightly arrested Morgan for robbery and detained him overnight in the cells. Good job too, serves the thieving bastard right, and well done to the Swansea Police officers that nicked him.
Next time he will pay for his take-aways, as other more honest people do.
Cas does have a good point though jen_jen. It never fails to surprise me how, when somebody or other snuffs it, everybody seems to want to post “RIP” messages.
In their haste to pour out their hearts with these tear-stained messages of ersatz grief, they do (metaphorically at least) trip over damp tissues.
Whilst all are grieving and crying their eyes out for somebody they barely knew and in most cases have never met, it never hurts to sometimes tell how the person really was, rather than the rose tinted PR image of how they would like to have been seen.
I regard the payment of the exhorbitant levels of tax on cigarettes as a license fee in effect. By paying the government every time I buy a packet of cigarettes, the price I pay includes a ‘license fee’ to smoke them.
Any time the Governmet wants to ban the sale of tobacco products totally is fine by me – I shall simply not buy them and cease smoking and as a result pay much less in tax to the Government.
As I enjoy my nicotine withdrawal symptoms, I shall comfort myself in the knowledge that the anti-smoking Nazis will all have to pay more in general taxation to make up for the shortfall in tax income this ban would cause.
Look people, this constant reference to “backstabbers” seems a little too close to the knuckle when the underlying content of this thread is the so-called gay lifestyle. Let’s try for a little bit of sensitivity here OK?
For the avoidance of doubt, I don’t recall seeing anybody suggesting that Stephen Gately ‘desreved to die’. What has been said quite clearly, both by me and others, is that his unfortunate death was both untimely and totally avoidable. To the extent that his death was avoidable, several people have reserved their “RIP” type sympathies for those whose death was absolutely not of their own doing.
This seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable stance to adopt.
Incidentally, I now see that the less sensationalist press have reported that he died from “natural causes” and added that this was due to a build up of fluid on the lungs – but with no details of how this might have happened. I guess that getting monumentally pissed and subsequently choking to death on your own vomit would be another way of describing “a build up of fluid on the lungs” eh?

So, having sold off our gold reserves for a fraction of their worth, Gordon Brown is set to sell off our libraries, our railways, our power supplies and our betting shops.
I think we should perhaps join him, and have garage sales, and car boot sales, and do sponsored cake bakes in order to help bring down our countries collosal debts.
Failing that… lets just blow up parliament.
Now there’s a thought. The last bloke that tried that fell, broke his neck & died trying to escape being hung drawn & quartered for treason in 1606. :lol:
Should have let a woman do it :lol: :lol:
Good God no !!! She’d have ditherd around indecisively, wondering if the gunpowder was placed ‘just right’ and did the barrels match the wallpaper etc.
She’d have been caught by the ‘police’ as she stayed to do her hair and make-up in anticipation of looking her best on the ‘big day’.
Anyway, she’d have forgotten the matches.
She wouldnt need matches, she would have had a lighter :lol: :-
….. even though in 1605, lighters hadn’t been invented. (Pedantry rules OK !!!)
