Those with a view as some have expressed articulately then chip in. It would have been interesting to read a post from a peron of Jewish extract or indeed an Arab viewpoint.

Okay in my local pub after a few pints the chatter moves from serious stuff and it usually denegrates into talking the usual male crap but at least in The UK we have that freedom.

We are happy to chat about the Firemans strike but we want to put the shutters down if its about Genocide?

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

well I agree, this post is linked inside "virtual pub", and I for one think its very healthy to debate subjects, touchy or not. We've had this argument time and time again - read the title, don't get upset if you don't like the title and don't read the content.

I don't do politics/religion or sexual preferences.
I don't even watch the news.
If its going on outside my garden gate I don't give a hoot.

Ignorance is bliss.
