You find yourself in a lifeboat with the entire forum 3 boardsters. After weeks at sea with only tiny amounts of water to survive on, its decided that one of the boardsters will have to be eaten. Its agreed…

We shouldn;t forget history at all but don’t live in it… and you say about bleating on the negative well lets remember the positive aspects of history too… no remember the positives more

Bleat? Where are the sheep?

History is history, we only know what has survived and been recorded. Positive? negative? who knows? As far…[Read more]

Is forgetting the past the only way forward? What happened to the old phrase “Those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it’s mistakes”?

If we have to tear up bits history so that we can feel comfortable about the present, then where do we stop?

If if the principle of a single human race is true then it will not suffer because of…[Read more]

F_pol, Do you really think I put that piece up just to gain points? Or because I thought the piece was about gaining points or strengthening arguments?

I won’t deny that I care to some extent about what people think, but I thought the article was genuinely informative and added some facts and figures to a debate that was had in here a while back…[Read more]

Terry, the two are not necessarily mutually incompatible, you seem as unaware of what you type as you are of what you read

But it doesn’t really matter.

. . . . there are many controversial subjects i enjoy debating shall i go on :lol:

Not much chance of enjoying the debate if it’s always going to be polarised on the basis of ‘PC victim’ vs ‘sensible mustn’t talk about it’.

I guess it doesn’t matter any more.

F_pol, My inner psychotherapist would love to find out why race more than (I think) any other seems to get your fingers tapping.

There is only one race – the human race. Maybe you should see beyond your own personal prejudices about people and their right to voice an opinion that is different to yours.

It’s not just race as I said it applies to disability gender age and so on but race issues do crop up more as a rule like this piece from the paper but yes it’s something I feel strongly about on many fronts.

Some ppl are genuinely victims though. Where do you draw the line about someone being a genuine victim and someone crying wolf?

Who decides where that line is drawn?

F_pol, I don’t think you’ve missed the point, but I do think in this particular thread you’ve turned minor references into major ones.

The journalist was placing some relevant personal experience into the mix – something you and I have done occasionally. He was warning about one aspect of media bias and using actual examples. As recent events…[Read more]

Do they have Google Maps in America?

Scep, they’ve still have more Dunblane-type incidents in the US than here.

Of course someone shouldn’t be allowed to round up children or adults for slaughter. But could they have been stopped by a gun-toting teacher or caretaker? No, Dunblane was peaceful before the incident and has remained peaceful after, even if teachers owned guns they would…[Read more]
