Nicky Morgan Wants Schoolchildren Taught That Britain Is Mainly A Christian Country
And so they shoulld, because it is.
With an established church, Britain is a Chrstian country by law.
It would be extremely churlish to move to a country then ask that it change to suit you.
That would be like marrying a Christian THEN insisting that they convert to something else.
Those who do not wish to live in a Christian country are not required to stay.
He might also walk out on an interview with a Pastafarian, refusing to accept that the Flying Spaghetti Monster was a real god. Would that make him a Pastaphobe?
Not buying the miricles that a given religion believes in does not make one a "phobe"." If I do not believe that Moses parted the Red Sea, it does not make me an Anti-Semite nor a Christianophobe.

The main reason they come alone is because no one, not even their parents, care what happens to them. If they make it across Mexico it is just one more mouth for the US branch of the family to feed; if they die en route, problem solved. Either way they are no longer a burden at home, whether to the family or the country.

U.S. Planning Operation To Deport Central American Families
Outrageous!Immigrants should only have to follow those laws that they find convenient.
Any laws or court orders that they do not like should simply not be obeyed.
We have to teach these people that there are no consequences if they ignore our laws and our courts!
Muslim Community 'Making Less Than 10%'Of Referrals I understand the problem. There are some 80 million gun owners in the USA and 12,000 gun homicides each year, yet fewer than 10% of irresponsible gun owners are referred to the police by the gun-owning community.
The majority of referrals come from schools and businesses, which is breeding is distrust and disillusionment amongst American gun owners

David Cameron's 'Christian' Christmas Message Attacked
These folk must have missed the fact that the UK has an established religion. That is, the country is Christian (indeed Anglican) by law.
Secularism is a good idea, ignorance is not.
I blame our education system.
Labour Brands Help To Work Scheme A 'Cruel Joke'
The jobless claimants were NOT made to carry out unpaid work such as clearing up litter and graffiti in order to get their benefits. If they worked and were paid benefits, the work was not unpaid.
Okay, I agree that it is cruel to call the scheme "help to work" if they are not helped to find work.
Okay, I agree that it is cruel to call the scheme "help to work" if they are not helped to find work.
It should be called "work to earn" and they should just be required to do the work to get the money. Simply divide their benefits by the minuimum wage (or even by the living wage, if you like) and that will yield the number of hours of community service they should perform to warrant receiving their benefits.
Seven Children Drown Off Greek Island On Way To Europe
I am not certain how this Turkish refugeee crisis is allowed to contnue, with ruthless traffickers allowed to operate openly, profiting massively by assisting in the invasion of Greece.
Why does Greece not load up ferries and take them all back to Turkey?
What? They are going to enforce our laws? How dare they! Don't they realize that undocumented people have the right to violate any of our laws that they fiind inconvenient?
Looks like Obama is continuing his streak of deporting more illegals than any US president and lowering the numbet of illegals entering the USA more than any president. You would think he believes in the rule of law or something.

White Man's Alleged Bomb Plot Against Muslims
We need to find out how and where this guy was radicalized and why white people aren't doing more to condemn him and stop this kind of radical caucasian terrorism. It is the responsibility of the white community to work with police to identify these individuals so they can be put on a watch list.
Please also stand up for transracials: those who are a different race to the one they are given at birth. And for the transagers: those who are a different age than the amount of years they have been alive.

Okay, the Selfish National Party is at the acme of this philosophy, but they are a long way from the only proponents. Look at all the UK laws that are "the EU's fault". Look at all the pollution caused by making things we buy and throw away that are some big coorporation's fault. Look at all the criticism of companies that only pay the taxes that our laws require them to pay. The SNP has no monopoly here.

Time for Germanic Americans to stand up against hamburgers and frankfurters.
Time for Mexican Americans to stand up against chilli.
But, on a college campus, Italian Americans will never have the courage to stand up against pizza. They would be slaughtered where they stood.

It is much less racist simply to state that Indians are breeding like rabbits, which is the main cause of climate change, that their government is openly encouraging the growth of green-house gas emissions and that the average Indian is too ignorant of the issues to care very much. Of course, saying so in this way is not very funny.

Some Muslim Americans Irritated By Obama's Call For Them To 'Root Out' Extremism
"We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups"
Obama urges Americans to 'not succumb to fear' in fight against Isis
It is tough not to, when the usual stalwarts of a brave and proud America (the Republicans) have turned into lily-livered, yellow-bellied cowards.
Yale Faculty Member Who Wrote Controversial Halloween Email Stops Teaching

'Pampered teenagers': Ted Cruz condemns Princeton campus protesters
Cruz is right on so little, but even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile.
The sanitation of history, the modern equivalent of book burning, is something we normally expect from Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia or Maoist China. It is unexpected to see such conservative positions from kids on US college campuses.
Whether they are fairly described as "pampered" or not depends on who is paying their tuition and expenses: some certainly are pampered (at Princeton, perhaps even most), but the kids on student loans are most defintely NOT pampered.
"We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn acts of violence committed by people within their groups"
That is simply not true.
If people commit violence in the name of a faith community, we ask that community to stand up and condemn those acts. We asked all Catholics and Protestant to stand up and condemn the IRA and the UDF. We asked all whites to stand up and condemn the KKK. We asked all pro-life groups to condemn anti-abortion violence, such as the Colorado Springs shootings.

Muslims do not get a free pass here and, given that Muslim terrorists kill mostly Muslims, it is in thier own interest not to have one,
If people are killing in your name, it behooves you not only to stand up and condemn them, but to actively assist law enforcement in finding them. It can only help the image of Muslims if we get a few stories about how the Muslim community helped bring terrorists to justice.
Donald Trump’s comments escalate GOP rhetoric on Muslims
The Reinhard Heydrich of the Republican Party, this bigot is not as ignorant as he pretends.
He knows that 95% of all Muslims are opposed to the jihadis, and that many Muslim countries have no terrorists at all, but he thinks that open bigotry wins votes. Sadly, he is not wrong

Why is France a target? Look to its alienated Muslim youth
The idea that Muslims in Europe are radicalized because they are poor, badly educated and jobless is simply not bourne out by the facts. Almost all of the western-born Muslims who have perpetrated terrorist attacks in the west have been affluent, well educated and working at a job.

How to fight back The battle against Islamic State must be waged on every front
You could help! One step would be the Economist (and fellow media outlets) to stop supporting them. By calling these repasit, slave-trading mohareb by the self agrendizing names they choose as a cover for their attrocities. There is nothing Islamic about the Islamic State, nothing Boko about the Haram people of Nigeria. Every time you use these names you offer suppport to their operations

It is true that France (indeed most of Europe) has done little to integrate Muslims into the culture and community of France. The Muslim authorities (Imams, elected representatives, whatever) have done even less to foster such integration - they tend to focus on the differences of their community rather than on their common humanity with the rest of their country.

At Mizzou, Yale and beyond, campus protests stir fresh questions about free speech

These students do not want free speech, they want safe speech: no offense, no risk, no controversy and, most importantly: no disagreement with their own views.

Or does he content himself with Monday morning quarterbacking - criticising actions after the fact as wrong but never proposing, before the fact, any that are right?

Uncle Sam not better at haggling over medications
I am not sure why Ms Pipes is so strongly against free-market forces, not allowing Medicare to use its volume and buying power to get lower prices, as other drug-company customers do. She seems adamant that Medicare should pay more for its drugs than private companies do. Is it ideology only: would she change her mind if Medicare were made a private non-profit corporation? Or is it resentment that Medicare is so much more efficient than private Insurers, with overheads 50% lower than the best the private sector has to offer?

"Victimhood" is, indeed, real. It is a state of mind.
Sometimes it is a form of PTSD for those who went through the experience, sometimes it is a focusing on the past to escape doing anything in the present and sometimes it is an assumed garb by people who nothing happened to but who want to identify with others who something did happen to.
I have great sympathy for the first kind, some understanding for the second and nothing but contempt for the third.

PS: If apologies are on offer, I think Cameron should apologise to the USA first - for providing the cause of the Civil War.

Richard Dawkins Says Islamophobia Is A 'Non-Word'
People create new words all the time, Richard. Get used to it.
Thus have we made Islamophobic and Anglophobic, homophobic and heterophobic.
Still it is odd that, among religions, only Islam gets this distinction. Hardly anyone says Buddhaphobic, Christianophobic, Sikhophobic or Shintophobic
Jewophobic has gotten its own special term - anti-semitic - which leaves only Arabophobic for the rest of the semites. (This is pretty hard cheese, since some of the most anti-semitic acts of recent times were perpetrated by Israel on the Palestinians.)
Other groups have had to make do with more general terms - a Negrophobe is just called a racist. Probably because people do not like using the word negro at all anymore and Afrophobe sounds like hatred of a hair cut.

Anarchists Class War Set Sights On Jack The Ripper Museum
What a logical bunch: how can we protest violence against women,?
I know, let's go commit violence on places where women work and terrorise their children!
This will be especially effective if the place has a violence-against-women-is-wrong theme.

Why Greece Shut The Shortest, Safest Route For Migrants And Refugees
I cannot understand why people want to protect their homeland's resources, infrastructure and culture. Can't they see that these should all be given away to anyone who feels like their own homeland is not worth working to fix and has the gumption to leave it?
Countries should welcome any invasion as long the invaders don't carry guns.
Shadow Environment Secretary Says Treat Meat Eaters Like Smokers
Absolutely! People should be forced to eat meat outdoors and no meat should be sold in pubs and restaurants. Think of all those toxic carginogens that they exhale when eating meat indoors.
Of course, if she were actually serious about health, she would start with sugar, not meat. Instead, she has made a political decision that goes against human nature of an omnivore, probably only to confrim her status and self-belief as a vegan,.
Certainly there are good environmental reasons to cut down on meat consumption, but the health benefits are 100 time less than curtailing sugar.

Channel 4 Could Be Privatised Privatise. Is that Newspeak for "sell"? If so, how much do they want for it?

Jeremy Corbyn Says Piggate Scandal Risks Distracting From Real Issues
Good for him. About time someone got stuck in to the lazy fools who call themselves journalists but can only write a let's-you-and-him-fight story.
Not only do they distract attention from important matters, they deliberately make our society a nastier place to live.
And no laws, nor any amount of men waffling on, will change that. Only women can change it.
It will stop when women stop allowing it to happen.

It's not my job to absolve white friends of racism, but it can seem that way 18 Sep 2015
As one black friend told me years ago regarding accusations of racism: "when you throw a stone into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one who got hit." (I think he got it from a Dick Gregory riff.)
While I see the point of "Racist intent isn’t a requirement for racism." But what it says is: "you better walk on tiippy-toes around me because, if I am offendied by something you do or say, I will call you a racists regardless of what you meant.
On that basis, Mr Carson, you are a racist. I quote "White people seem to have..."

Okay, over 50% of the cabinet are women, but they are not in the jobs that I want them to be in, so that must mean that the party and its leader are sexist.
