This Makes Grim Reading.

Why won't our Police look into this? It is not acceptable to bring these backward practices here and not expect repercussions. We do not allow our women to be beaten and they are equals with men. If these people dont like our way of like why dont they push off to somewhere who does - not that I think these practices are acceptable anywhere

I’m not sure where to begin with your last post….but.
Here you go regarding some stats on DV:
Domestic abuse:
Will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime so not too much of a difference.
In 2010 the Forced Marriage Unit responded to 1735 reports of possible Forced Marriages. What religion do you think is connected with that?
https://lwa.org.uk/understanding-abuse/statistics/
Women change their names and name (in association with their husbands / partners) their children after their partners for love, pixie, not because they are chattels.

I don’t think anyone is saying one type of murder is more acceptable than another.

I can only conclude that your rather entrenched views are as a result of some bad experience but you need to see things from a wider, less prejudiced viewpoint.

I don’t need to take my time, pixie, because I know my subject. Your argument is entirely flawed.

[pixie374]

None, ttt- like I said, I just hate dishonesty.

[pixie374]

You may know religion, naomi- but clearly have no grasp of psychology, or how it works in the real world.

[Zacs-Master]

What psychology qualifications do you hold, pixie?

[pixie374]

What's your CV, zacs? Sometimes, it's just obvious.

TTT, you may be interested in this - it’s the story of Surjit Athwal, a British Indian Sikh woman murdered in an honour killing after a forced marriage in 1998.

You know, if you stopped answering questions with questions and were a bit more honest, you might get a better debate.
I’m not the one claiming to have knowledge of psychology as you did in your reply to Naomi, so I ask again, what qualifications do you have in the subject?

[pixie374]

Ask away, zacs- I haven't claimed anything. I have pointed out the obvious, that knowing facts doesn't mean you can apply them.
Was that your only response?

[Zacs-Master]

In your reply at 19:05 to Naomi, you made it very clear that you think you have a better understanding of psychology than Naomi. Can you clarify why you would think that?

[pixie374]

Previous threads, zacs, and this one. Anyway- why are you bothered if you have nothing to add?

[Zacs-Master]

I’m bothered because you thinking (believing, if you like)you have a better understanding of psychology is fairly fundamental to your argument. I can see zero evidence of your claimed proficiency in the subject either in previous thread, or this one. I think, like a lot of your off the wall opinions, it’s all in your head.

[pixie374]

I'm sure you do, my love x

[Zacs-Master]

I suppose that’s the end of that little chat then. Well done, pix, you came out of that with your reputation for logic intact. Said no one….ever.

[pixie374]

Sorry, if you wanted a chat, carry on...

[Zacs-Master]

Nah, you’re ok. If condescension and obfuscation are all you can bring to the debate I’ll leave it there.

[pixie374]

Sorry if you were confused.

[Zacs-Master]

Haaaaaaaa. Ok.
