The internet is basically a surfeit of junk information. One can find information on it to reinforce or challenge any belief system. Generally, the loudest and most strident voices gain traction on a medium such as this. The internet is rarely a resource for reasoned, logical, rational discussion of deeply held and respectful beliefs, it is generally a shouting match between those of dogmatic persuasion. Essentially, people turn to the internet to establish and reinforce, not overturn their strongly held prejudices.

However, in terms of morality systems of Abrahamic faiths, the internet certainly has damaged or been a huge challenge to those

The can of worms has now opened, offically

Not a huge fan of many of his songs tbh, although he was incredibly talented. Something about 1999 is eminently funky. But I guess When Doves Cry is his best.

I hate it. Generally it has been a way for women to control speech, to thereby passively aggressively dominate men

Justin Trudeau

Mozart- Violin Concerto no. 5

ISIS know more about Islam than we do. On the other hand, you can't compare Christianity with radical Islam. Christianity allowed and in the end encouraged some enlightenment, Islam regresses further and further. No one will kill you just because you aren't a Christian (or Buddhist, Hindu, Bahai for that matter)

This is obviously a difficult issue, it isn't clear cut at all imho

Well said. Islamization of Europe is not going to make life better or safer for gays that is for sure. Most of these so-called refugees are economic migrants. They should be working at home not to make their own countries hellholes. Or once the conflict is over, go back and do this. But this will never happen, since Europe is full of freebies. Islam and western civilization are completely incompatible at the moment.

In some ways though gay marriage can never be equal to straight marriage- those 2 partners can never have kids together for example

Was never a huge fan but I admired the man's talent

JS Bach

Has it emerged how exactly he died?

I wonder what happened to Wanga, the African rapper in Evil Boy

Laws in most (western) countries have fit things so that gay relationships are not discriminated against financially

Dvorak- Czech Suite

Telemann- Quartet for flute, oboe, violin & continuo in G

Seems a lot of the 'forum games' have been nuked too

@pornofan:

he COULD just drop his pants, wiggle his naughty bits at the camera, and taunt the unsaved with remarks like, "Big one, isn't it? Don't you wish yr dick looked this great?

I doubt that it's big, having watched him in a few things, including a movie in which he runs around in very skimpy shorts. It's almost certainly quite average. Nevertheless, I would pay to watch the movie you describe

Yes, but pornofan these are generally in the Middle East. You certainly wouldn't 'trump' your atheism around in Iraq or Syria. Or for that matter, the UAE. Or maybe parts of the US
