I think Spike Milligan has that on his.

I know some one who hates sponge, and met a girl once who was scared of balloons . I mean scared, not just didn't like them.

Well, how much would you say is the benchmark, for want of a better word. Or what term would you use to describe the murder of X number of Jews, X being the number you accept?

Another example of faith schools warping society.

How many people need to be killed to signify 'Holocaust' ?

Understood ,but the day off was just an illustration of the difference. You are right of managers value time over production

Your final one is interesting, I wonder if there are other factors? Does govt subsidising low wages contribute to that culture too? Take on three workers that are subsidised rather than two that are better paid?

Link here Uk workers 30% less productive than the French. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32827317 So our answer to increased demand us take on more workers or work longer hours. Rather than increasing productivity.

If Uk workers were are as productive as other countries , they could have Fridays off . The example of the French is not that they are more productive despite their breaks and hours, but be because of them. We often have a culture of working longer not smarter. Office workers staying late...

UK productivity lags behind France and Germany, never mind the Far East!

Good point.

[/url] I didn't quite understand the facsimile of the article on Hebrew character that's missing- can you expand on this? Are they not mostly stories concerning two populations- that of Russia and Eastern Europe? Once a figure of 6m is accepted as the Russian population, then why is...

You'll be waiting a while, there is no sensible answer they can give. It's another circular argument from the religious . I cherry pick these verses because they fit with my bigotry. I am a bigot because the verses I have cherry picked tell me I should be. It's been asked many times...

I think that's an honest approach. Rather than hiding behind something else. I think a factor ( generalising not commenting on you) is cultural rather than a natural dislike of gay people. We've had a lifetime of slurs, pee taking, prejudice for being a child. So bound to be imprinted a bit

At least it's 21st Century nonsense that I've written myself! My point , and thanks for asking, is that using scripture to justify homophobia is illogical, as one then has to also buy into the rest of the list of things that are sinful eg like I keep saying wearing clothes of different...

Historically in Europe beheading was a form of execution granted as a favour or mark of respect , rather than subjecting the person to one of the other options as mentioned earlier in the thread. I suppose everything is relative!

Why don't people be honest instead of searching through ancient documents and cherry picking quotes while ignoring others,or hiding behind a god. Just say that gay people make you nervous or scared or disgusted and be done with it, or you're not sure why but it just doesn't seem right. And...

Not for the individual, but for the gene to survive it does not follow that the individuals have to breed. Look at bees.

You've made a leap that is not in the verse you've quoted. Read some more and you'll see that St Paul didn't want ANYONE to marry, man or woman. So if we are to take Paul as our guide ( a man who never met Jesus) then , no marriage at all should happen. As for 'nature' , is monogamy...

This lot look like a right load of fanatical zealots alright
