Franklin Graham Uk Tour Venues Cancelled ….

[naomi24]

… under pressure from LGBTQ+ campaigners who say statements Graham had made were incompatible with their values, and that his appearance would be divisive, could be disruptive or lead to a breach of the peace. His lawyers are trying to reverse the decision.

Franklin Graham is the son of US evangelist Billy Graham.

Should he be allowed to speak? Your thoughts?

I often get treated as an idiot.

Naomi, I'm disappointed in your responses to jim. I know neither of you personally, but you seem to be ignoring his points and expressing views that I find difficult to accept, especially because you offer no justification for some of them. You think that schools should only teach what parents approve of; that would legitimise teaching religiously-based breaches of our democratic laws against child and woman abuse. You have sounded rather shrill - e.g. "Haaaaaaaaaaaa! Who'd a guessed?! Great innit ... free speech! :o)))" I expected better than that from you.

Atheist. //You think that schools should only teach what parents approve of//

Where did I say that?

//I expected better than that from you.//

Your disappointment results from your inability to accurately assess the undercurrent of the conversation and the meaning of the word ‘principle’. The failing is yours.

That's you told, Atheist :/

Naomi. 22.53 on Thursday.

Best left to wander the halls muttering or alternatively warbling - I'm right,I told you I'm right -you're all wrong the fault is yours.

Till the echoes fade away.

[Atheist]

N. I'd rather not have to rely on undercurrents. And your reference to the word 'principle' puzzles me. What did you mean?

[naomi24]

Atheist //Naomi. 22.53 on Thursday. //

But I didn't say what you claimed I said. May I suggest you read through this thread to familiarise yourself with the conversation?

//your reference to the word 'principle' puzzles me. //

'Confuses' might be a better word.

[jim360]

Allow me to set you straight, Atheist. I'm a complete scumbag undeserving of any respect, and Naomi only replies to me at all out of some misplaced sense of... well, I guess nobility, a desperate attempt to reach out to a poor soul who is almost, but not quite, beyond hope of saving.

[naomi24]

You're mistaken, Jim. I've no desire to 'save' you.

[jim360]

That's a relief, because I don't need it anyway :)

[naomi24]

You said it, not me.

[jim360]

I mean... I was being facetious :/

[Spicerack]

^for a change.
