Booldawg, are you saying all muslims aren't alike now?

[paulos66]

Zac ....... Na na na na na na, but seriously it's up to the individual how they judge a political party - and let's face it the majority of people in this country judge them by the dross they read in the tabloids - I find that scary and there's not much I can do about it

Boldawag you seem to be having trouble spotting irony - I'm just rather enjoying seeing the party of family values acting like the Simpsons.

As these were his children Raggy I have no hesitation in echoing one of AOG's recent posts


I blame the parents!

We have no idea what happened so cant really comment.

But let's paint one scenario (I have made this up and it has no basis on fact).

His teenage kids are going to a party and he tells them to be back by 11pm.

He phones them at 11pm and they refuse to come back.

He says if they are not back by 11:30pm he will lock them out.

They arrive home at say 11:45pm, perhaps a little drunk, finding the front door locked and they cant get in.

They start shouting to wake their parents up, and maybe when that fails they start shouting abuse at their parents.

No luck so they start throwing stones at the window. Being a bit drunk one of them throws a brick and it smashes a large front window on the house.

Father wakes up and goes down stairs, and being very annoyed, gives them both a clip round the ear.

I may be totally wrong, but which parent would say they would not clip their children round the ear in that situation.

Eh! will everyone hold on a minute, he ALLEGEDLY assaulted his Teenages. He has not been charged, tried or even convicted yet.

So lets wait until such times, before you all bundle him into the Tunbrel and cart him off to the Guillotine, shall we?

I don't believe it, you are the people who criticise "Daily Mail readers".

[anotheoldgit]

I know many "Celebs". too, who wear dark glasses, so what is your point?

[jake-the-peg]

Thing is whilst it'd be great to just accept all these sort of issues as private matters and move on it is much more of an issue for the sort of politician that labels him or herself with a family values label.

This is mostly Tories but a certain couple of religious labour PMs would similarly fit the bill.

It does rather point to the hypocracy of such politicians - and I'm thinking especially of Major here Mr "family values dont tell Norma about Edwina".

I do sometimes wonder exactly how dumb you have to be to fall for all that family values stuff

[ludwig]

Don't vote for the liberals either. In case anyone's forgotten they're the people who hire hitmen to kill their gay former lovers.

In conclusion all tories are evil wife beating child abusers - I like this stereotypical arguing - it's funny
Thanks for your input everyone

[flip_flop]

Or Mark Oaten, the family man, who paid a couple of rent boys to perform "disgusting" acts on him.

Incidentally - did the nature of these "disgusting" acts ever come to light?

[paulos66]

Flip flop - do you serously think extra marital sex is comparable to child abuse

Just in case anyone needs reminding what vegetarians are like..

Ludwig, was that some sort of bizarre word association - I started with tory and you understandably finished with nazi - good work!!!

[ludwig]

Who said anything about nazis? The point I'm trying to make is that vegetarians are all evil genocidal little runts with Charlie Chaplin moustaches and one ball. That my friend is something we must never, ever be allowed to forget.
