Ronald, I wasn't "arguing" lol...believe me you'd know if i was ;) I was merely suggesting one way that your motivation in posting the quote might have been made clearer to those who questioned it :) ( I wasn't one of those who did that as I am sure you will have noted, I drew my own conclusions.)

As to whether I have better things to do with my time...the same might be said for you I suppose ... we both used our time to post on a board so presumably we both felt we had sufficient 'spare' time in which to do to do so.

btw Ronald... T & Cs can be found at the bottom of the page....not mine, GR's :))

Boobquake Suppose they also cause I.E.D making as well ..!!!


Here is the gist of an article from news around the world. Must be all those men jumping up and down with glee.

Kathy


An Islamic cleric's suggestion that immodestly dressed women cause earthquakes has drawn thousands to join an American student's busty bid to shake up the world —
by revealing cleavage.


Jen McCreight is the creator of Boobquake, an event scheduled for Monday, which has already garnered the support of more than 40,000 people on Facebook.


McCreight, a 22-year-old attending Purdue University in Indiana, is pushing women to bare their breast cleavage for a day to satirize Islamic cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi,
who recently blamed earthquakes on immodest female clothing.


"Many women who do not dress modestly . . . lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,"
Sedighi told Iranian media on April 16. Sedighi is Tehran's acting Friday prayer leader.


There UR Daff be interesting to see wot nasty thoughts you have on this one as well

Not online every night but will look in occasionally as a break from my voluntary charity work for all castes, colours, creeds and even (gasp) them that supports Labour! lol

I was going to leap in there and say in Daff's defence that she is the least bigoted person I know. But I think i will let her tackle this one herself. I just want to say I find your attack on Daff nasty and personal.

When I am attacked and accused of putting something up and it's rascist/I'm accused of BNP etc I have every right to defend myself and will. .

All this over a simple news story. Put same thing on another site and an interesting discussion started without me being accused of rascism.

That's me do have a nice day

I too have seen this discussed in a very different way on a different site.

The whole problem was, as I believe somebody else said, you put the story up and it came over as your views. All you needed to have done was put it up and say something like 'what do you think of this' people then would not have assumed that the views expressed were yours.

Wmsl @Ronald.

I make absolutely nothing of it.... how very amusing, and bless her!

I am sure that you do excellent charity and volunteer work with people of all castes, creeds, colours and Gasps, even Labour.

You know nothing of me, my background or my political leanings.

You do not have any idea what work I do, or have done, Voluntary or paid.

My initial response was to you posting an article that is extremely offensive and controversial, without any indication as to your intended purpose for the posting.

It could have been indignation and horror that women are considered to be to blame for all evil, as this *cleric* has stated. You didn't say. Not one word. Still haven't actually.

It could have been to point it out in support of the *cleric* that women, are, indeed, the cause of all things evil. You didn't say. Not one word. Again, still haven't.

You have just got abusive.... why not just state where you stand? That is all that was being asked of you?

Believe you me, I have first hand experience of how bigotry is stirred up.

Your posting of said article, without comment from yourself, is an excellent example of how it can be stirred... actually, classic textbook stuff. It is the way that organisations such as BNP stir things up... very subtle, at times, but it is aimed at raising the ordinary person's indignation and ire!! I pointed this out, as my response.

I stand by all my comments on this thread, and if you do not like that, then do not put up threads such as this. I have the RIGHT to answer, and state my views, just as you have the right to put up your thread.

If it wasn't meant so..... why are you attacking me? If the circumstances were reversed, I would be very concerned to put my views across, to inform that I found the article offensive, disgraceful, and derogatory towards women. I would hate for people to think I was a bigot, rascist, or whatever other ism or ist you care to throw at me.... I like to take people for who they show themselves to be, and not from which religion/culture/creed and what was that other word? Oh yes caste!! I have had personal experience of caste!

Your response has been to attack. Please, go ahead, as nothing you can write can harm me... you are just a person on a website, with a rather odd way of putting up threads, and still not making it clear what his stance is on the article in question. Of no consequence whatsoever.

I don't just volunteer in multi cultural settings, Ronald. I live the life.

Oh, and please put up whatever you wish about me, it has no effect whatsoever, I have stated my case, and as I said, I stand 100% by what I have written.

Daff

Well said Daff. I'm with you 100% on all you said.

Beverley

All a load of nonsense of course - but I did once know a woman who made the earth move.

Happy days

Thank you Beverley.

wmsl @ Harry... happy days indeed, lolol!

Love

Daff xxx

I'm flattered you remember, Harry - :-)))

Thanks Daff. It was you then Beverley - t'was dark at the time.

Happy nights.
