is religion behind homophobia?
ok, maybe i was being abit lazy here and worded the thread poorly, my intention is to highlight the discrepancy in theology between people who hold a religious view but chose which bits to believe.

Ministers to ban free drinks for women
thats better... ill still go to france though as will hundereds of other wine drinkers. it comes to something when i can daytrip from derby, shop in calais and return home in under 12 hours with a stash of decent wines at between £2-£5 a bottle. it works out at half price.

is religion behind homophobia?
this is what im getting at, the catholic church does not accept gay people as 'normal' do they? so your aunt isnt being true to her faith (dispite her being in the 'right'). imho this makes a mockery of religion, surely you either follow what your god instructs you to do or you dont, cherry picking and interpreting to suit the bits you want makes a doctrine useless.

is religion behind homophobia?
i wonder to what extent is religion behind homophobia? even non religious types turn to it in order to claim the moral high ground... i cannot think of 1 orthadox religion that accepts it... christian, catholic, mormon, jovos, muslim, etc etc etc... so surely if people are true to their faiths, arnt they homophobic by default? i wonder just how many bj members have a faith but darent declare it for this reason.... are YOU a default homophobe?

the holocaust, nazi hunters
on tv yesterday morn there was this debate i caught abit of, regarding the holocaust and nazi hunters. basically some elderly jews still want to hunt down people involved with the death camps and put them on trial... one such suspect had to be taken into court on a stretcher he was so frail. i think the main culprits, the ones who ordered the extermination of jews, gays, gypsies are already in jail or dead. an elderly embittered jew though still wants to put on trial the people who carried out the orders, the ordinary soldier. this raises a difficult question... they were 'only following orders'...now whilst that sounds like a lame excuse, the truth is that if they didnt follow orders they too would be executed. what would YOU do? is it right that after nearly 70 years some jews are still embittered or should they move on? 'NEVER AGAIN' is what the jewish people say, we should never forget, but if thats the case, why wasnt there a jewish outcry at many mass murders since? in the balkans, in africa, in recent years... or are jewish people so insular that they dont care for any other holocaust?

Gay couple refused room at guest house.
as several have already said .... she is running a business, so its NOT a private house, the LAW states that discrimination on grounds of race or sex is ILLEGAL, therefore she has broke the law and should be prosecuted.

Gary Numan
i agree. not a big fan of bowie...in fact, not a 'fan' at all but i have the utmost regard for his material and wont underestimate his creative influence... it just wasnt my bag. numan was ok... cant help but like 'are friends electric' but most of his material didnt really grab me in the same manner. he wasnt/isnt as good as bowie.

RIP Alex Chilton
tbh...no.....

Fuzzbox....are BACK ;-)
zippy .... theres no simularity between the fuzzbox brand of pop and s/a/w so im not so sure why you would assume that 'we' in general wouldnt like them! fuzzbox were just a 'traditional' pop group who played guitars and sang, s/a/w created 'stars' out of nonentities, mass producing 'kiddy pop'. in a nutshell, thats why many of us dont like nor respect s/a/w.

Emmerdale
its called 'comparison', how tf can i go on an eastenders thread and criticise it without getting the usual idiotic responses like 'dont watch it then'... actually, you are at the vangard of that <_< . oh come on...that rodney storyline is pathetic, hes NEVER had a good one! what a load of bollox, lying about his job... yawnsville... funny? yes it was, just like the league of gentlemen was... dark, uncomfortable drama, laugh or be repelled?... great storyline!

happy birthday richie!

Emmerdale
car crash tv.. superb last night, sally was brilliant in her siltent, deadly plan... she is BRILLIANTLY cast, didnt you just want to reach into the tv to help the stricken ashley? wasnt it disturbing in the bedroom? WONDERFULLY dark... fantastic storyline, pisses all over eastenders ridiculous 'body under the tree' nonsense.

Office Morale - At an all time low!
excuse me! but thats exactly what retros for! :mellow: non music subjects get 0 replies, modern music is catered for on just about every other forum on this site... tbh i dont think buzzjacks the place for 'old people', its a modern site catering for modern entertainment, maybe its time to move on. there are other adult (as in for older people) sites where maturer people can go. this site isnt for us. maybe its time to leave.

lyrics that you find apt ....
i cite cupids inspiration from '68 - 'yesterdays gone' maybe its strange that i, a long time music fan for 45 years plus should cite these lyrics, but they are soooo TRUE! "yesterday has gone, departed and tomorrow hasnt started all that really matters is right now" the past is dead and gone, i think too many people try to hang on to it, re-live it, but in truth its over.

Emmerdale
indeed i would, but eastenders takes itself seriously, the ott 'dumb dumbs', the shock in the storylines, the hyperbole... emmerdale however doesnt take itself seriously, it almost parodies itself, so imho it can get away with it. in general its a much lighter (and possibly realistic) drama.
