Westboro Baptist Church in America? A church of nutters with a membership of 40 people?

That's your response to a point about problems with attitudes towards homosexuality from incoming migrants from the middle east?....let alone attitudes towards Jews and women?

Sometimes Nick you just don't help yourself.

Again, watch Nawaz's video on the 'regressive left' and try to stop being what he is talking about.

Edited because it wasn't me you was replying to.

Yeah I totally take your point kermits, but I think the vast majority have moved on from giving them abuse because they are gay.....so what it's their choice and good luck to them,some of them are really funny guys with a great sense of humour.

always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Seriously though of course some groups get a harder time than others..Has anyone said any different? Why do you feel the need to make this bleedingly obvious point? ..For example ugly fat girls aren't treated as well as pretty young girls and so on. Disabled people are treated differently to able people. Gay people can feel isolated and threatened in certain environments for sure..Young women are paid more than young men...old men more than old women....Different groups have different perceived attributes and hence are treated differently...Still we are pretty good here....In fact I will say that the majority culture's attitude to gay people here makes this is probably one of the better places in the world for homosexuals.....Still, you are quite happy to deflect attention away from cultures where the majority feel very differently towards them.

Socially old people get treated worse than young people...but better in governmental benefits..way better....men receive longer sentences than women for the same crime...the list of how different groups are treated differently is as long as your arm.

Where that treatment is negative for unfair reasons then that is a discussion point worth having...but it's not really what the thread is about.

I don't know if you were exactly referring to me but I would describe myself as a secular humanist rather than an atheist....I don't deny the small chance that the universe could have a creator...But I do reject the notion that this creator could be from any of the religious books I'm aware of....the 'personal gods' that Einstein referred to as being highly unlikely.

If you were looking for a round-about way of calling me a bigot then all I can do is shrug my shoulders at you Kermy....Shall I call you an apologist? I can't be bothered with it...I'd say an attachment to name calling is disappointing but not unexpected.

Seriously and honestly discussing the issues is better.

Did you read that article on the Huffington Post I linked to?

I gotta say those were good cameos. Ah Farther Ted....the 'lovely horse' episode is fondly remembered.
