    i covered that by saying "they all have passages/god inspired events in them that can be used to justify demented actions by demented people". my point was that if some demented christians wanted to do an ISIS, they could justify it quite happily, look up god inspired genocide in the bible as an example.

    "Interpretation" is used to spin away the bad stuff and try and make it look good, you should never have to do an interpretation for "good". The demented sharia law supporters use their book literally and also then add some "interpretation". These ISIS guys are at the same stage of development of being civilised as the christians of the crusades era and that attitude ran for hundreds of years until they slowly got it. ISIS have only been around a for a few days in comparison.

    if you are going to blame Islam then you have to tar all the abrahamic holy books with the same brush. they all have passages/god inspired events in them that can be used to justify demented actions by demented people, none of those books/ideologies are innocent. All those books should be burnt as books of hatred.

    GP is correct in his treatment of ACs who post troll posts. Why should anyone care what an AC says. if they are too scared to be identified by a nick, they should be treated as they treat others. if they make crap troll posts then they deserve to be shat on. you can't have a debate with an AC because you don't know if you are dealing with the same person all the time.

    education for higher skills a different issue, most of the whining is about unskilled jobs that the brits won;t do. speak to the farmers in lincolnshire, they say the brits apply for the jobs but when they learn they have to start at 5:00am, they are not seen again hence the heavy reliance on migrant workers. the whiners are their own worst enemy.

    we have a sovereign nation and make our own laws, less than 20% are influenced by Europe and that is to do with harmonisation. I've not yet seen any of the european laws be something we wouldn't have enacted ourselves at some point (if we got some decent MPs with courage) . We do not support our native workers when we buy foreign produced things like BMWs and Volvos.

    This "successful period of history" has happened since we have been in the EU, in 1970s when we were outside the EU, our economy was in the shit. Being in the EU has not stopped us from trading with anyone.

    i am british and i have no problem with open borders as it works both ways. when the Uk economy was crap in the 1970s, loads of brits went and found work in europe, now its time to return the favour. Once the eastern european countries come up to speed with their economies, a lot of the incomers will go home and then we will be pleading for immigrants to do the hard graft again. The unskilled work is not being done by the native british after the war and it hasn't been since so they allowed in loads of people from the carribean to make up the shortfall. We have had all the same arguments when they came over and the again when we took in a lot of asians from uganda. Its not done us any harm.
