when it comes to educating children, a secular state takes an active role. i couldn't care less about people worshipping whatever sky gods they like providing that their beliefs do not lead to discrimination of others.

no there are one or two good places there but i'll be damned if i can remember the name. wicked fish curries as i seem to recall. but chinese is more my thing, so what would i know.

yes, i believe the state has a responsibility to teach certain things, particularly in the realm of science and sex education, no matter what particular faith the school proclaims. there are important social and health reasons for doing so, don't you think? the whole point of having a secular...

good point, but even private schools have to abide by the curriculum. and don't forget that 1 in 10 of every human being is gay. what kind of support are religious schools going to give to those students? there is cultural sensitivity and then there is turning a blind eye to things you know are...

i think every school in the uk (which is after all secular) should teach a defined curriculum which encompasses evolution and also sex education. if they don't agree to that, then they shouldn't be teaching British children, full stop. what people do in their own homes is up to them, but i'll be...

the other thing which did my head in recently is that girl gang roaming round kennington waving a ball bearing gun in peoples faces. the middle aged woman they mugged, the girl pulled the trigger at point blank range but it jammed and they got arrested minutes later. i've also witnessed a...

there were two of them, they are being tried in court right now. it was over a cashpoint pin. apparently they took the students cards, but the cash machine swallowed one of them and the torture was in revenge...

yeah i was just going to say - its not the cities people have to watch out for, more the small towns. less guns but much more potential for indiscriminate, drink-fuelled and unprovoked violence. but some parts of london are like that - the city is really a bunch of inter-connected villages in...

they don't call it gunchester for nothing. i'm used to living in peckham and brixton, south london which a lot of people find scary, but i personally think manchesters in a different league. mancs might disagree though!

btw, whats the track in the set that samples lenny de ice "we are ie"

yeah, amazing stuff, ben. going down very well indeed here.

its suprising he didn't jump on the 2-step thing really, reckon he'd have been better at that. pulp fiction is ok, but it hardly gets the blood pumping. jungle is filled with reese bassline stormers and as mms says everything about the track is weak. someone mentioned dillinja angels fell which...

Its so hard to pick from that list. I went for 4 Hero simply because of the sheer number of mindbending tracks they've produced, but just about any of that selection falls into artists I'm passionate about.

much as i love remarc, you are totally wrong there. what does remarc have to match the following: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=""...

if people think being in a long term relationship is a cast iron guarantee of not getting an STD, i'd suggest thats a rather naive view in light of human nature. i'm not saying everybody in a relationship is going to screw round, but it's a common enough occurrence not to rely on total fidelity...

this is something that has torn the left asunder basically. international socialism was about supporting the oppressed, wherever they may be. but what happens when local issues conflict with international aims? some say that this is another contributory reason of the collapse of the left in...

yes, accepted. but this raises much larger questions (that i suspect are addressed in another thread discussing the protests this week) over globalisation, nationalism and capitalism as a whole. my question to you is why shouldn't unions protest cheap labour being shipped in by companies who...

wandering way off topic now lol, but whatever unions have become, historically they've been the only way for working communities to avoid exploitation. and a union is just that - a collective of workers. what is more authentic than people speaking for themselves? if you can think of something...

yes, in the form of organised labour - unions, and even the early beginnings of the labour party when they still represented those communities. now though - i don't think so, which is one of the reasons why that vacuum was filled by the far right. not too sure about media though.

i worked for a dutch bank where one of the directors was called burnt kok. there was also a worker in the thai office called suk yu lim.
