AH, so when you said to Khandro, // you should be adopting your own patron saint - Saint Jude. // ... you didn't mean it. Okay.

naomi - // AH, so when you said to Khandro, // you should be adopting your own patron saint - Saint Jude. // ... you didn't mean it. Okay. //

As i just pointed out, Khandro's lost cause is his defence of the indefensible, so yes, i did mean it. Ok.

[naomi24]

AH, //Khandro's lost cause is his defence of the indefensible//

So Khandro does have a lost cause. Are you sure you know what you're talking about? He does, he doesn't, he does....

Time for a cup of tea.

"His lost cause is repeatedly and robustly defending them against all normal logical and moral reasoning"
i don't think that's a lost cause on this topic at least. I am not in the slightest outraged by his knighthood, and i consider myself normal.
So half a million people object - they are in the minority

“If everybody is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.”

I think that was Benjamin Franklin before he finally gave up on AnswerBank

As I have pointed out - your right to your contrary view is unassailable - as is my right to comment on it.

[bednobs]

ok, so it's your right to say my thinking is not "normal"?
what's your definition of normal - "agrees with me"?

No, 'normal' in the sense of 'generally accepted'.

If this many people have signed a petition, you can safely assume that there are tens of thousands more who agree with the principle, but have not bothered to act on it.

[naomi24]

AH, //No, 'normal' in the sense of 'generally accepted'. //

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands from a population of 60-odd million ... how good are you at sums?

[bednobs]

i agree with naomi.
if we assume there are around 55 million adults in the uk and 1/2 a million have signed a petition against it, i would assume that the other 54.5 million people either agree or don't care enough to sign (or have not heard about it/don't have the ability to), maybe it's MY thinking that's "generally accepted" or "normal"?
