Read "The Book"!

Have done. But the ideas in the Bible an be traced in origin to civilisations around long before Moses and his friends.

Besides, the United Nations is about secular government. As such, should not necessarily modeled on ideas supposedly coined by people who didn't know why the sun appeared and disappeared, or why water bubbles when its heated up. Or why water dropped from the sky.

Only by building and buttressing existing barriers and prejudices...

Corwin, that's a very scary thing to hear on this bulletin board; it seriously smacks of racism and zenophobia, and is an argument often used by far-right groups.

What are your views on Apartheid?

Just Another piece of proof that candidates will say anything, and try to sit on the fence while doing it.
He was obviously trying to not offend any possible voters.

Dowding give me a break, "...smacks of racism and xenophbia...". I think you careless in your assumptions and take umbrage at your willingness to dispense inflammatory verbage capriciously. Perhaps you tend to be more apt at what you seek to decry?

Ever heard of sarcasm and irony? Do you perhaps find this particular forum, i.e a BB attached to a GAME to be an improper medium for something less than gravely grinding exchanges over pithy issues?

Geez man, lighten up!

I was very, very tired when I read your post (and I only scanned through it). Apologies.

Besides, I seem to always look for inflammatory statements - its the only thing that keeps me coming back to this BB.

Not at all and I don't see why you should draw such a conclusion. But if I am seriously discussing an issue and am in a certain frame of mind, and see a comment such of yours then perhaps you can see the thinking behind my response?

I re-read your post and can see the real intentions behind it.
