So perhaps we ought to upgrade the infrastructure to support the economy,

You going to add thousands of sq miles the UKs land mass as well?

Without the man made and natural disasters of the 20th century,
the worlds population is out of control, and too much of it is heading here.

European societies manage to encourage their single women to be able
to handle contraception. Here the safety net of child benefits seems to
allow women to suffer from amnesia when it comes time to taking their pill

I was well out of school by that time. Back in the 50s I had to endure the

Me too, to the point where I went on to do a Classics degree. What was an
endurance test was the Sergeant-Major style of teaching and the random
punishments that went with it.

Then again, a 1950's boarding school was *designed* to be an endurance test -
we had an empire to run don't-cha know :-)

I was agreeing with pretty much everything you said until that. Now you look
like a reactionary fool. Sorry.

I drive fast. I like cars, I like motorcycles. I've never "slaughtered"
anyone. I've had a couple of accidents, my fault, involving no other
vehicles - I only drive *fast* where it's safe to do so, and I will continue
to do so. It's not my fault if others can't control their vehicles
properly...


right.........

I do not like what the BNP Say but I have to defend there right to say it.

I suspect they actually prefer to get "Black" listed, it gets them
publicity without them actually demonstrating how stupid they really are.

Games was Saturday mornings. Maths was mainly geom and algy - hour a week
max. English was learning peotry by rote and reading the canon

We barely did any French. This was the 1950s remember, why would we need to
learn French of all languages? :-)

You're using the same linguistic style as some of the most hate-filled
people I've ever heard of.

Obviously I've never met you (I think I've conversed with you once,
about that BBC4 Hawkwind documentary a year ago.) In a certain
ontological sense, I could picture you as no more than the sum of your
Usenet postings.

If you want to explain *why* you are not prejudiced in this regard --
and this is different from the assertion that you *are* prejudiced but
justified in being so -- then you will have more chance of beating the
odds in the following:

The politics of abortion or gun control are similar in that regard.

You should be looking not to try to beat your ideological opponents
(be it by words or by violence, or indeed by verbal violence), but to
try and convince the neutral observers of this public argument.

I can't agree with the proliferation of no-smoking signs that have
been compulsorily put up in every shop window. But that's a minor
issue here.

Do you know *any* of them as individuals? I strongly suspect you've
bundled them together into a group, and consider them solely by their
group characteristic (as you perceive it.)

The same sort of nonsense allows people to countenance committing
violence against "The Jews", based on their disapproval of Israeli
geopolitics. Some genteel watch-fixer in Bethnal Green whose shop
closes on a Saturday doesn't deserve to have it vandalised for that.

No it isn't. You just need to follow the train of thought.

I'm sure you know Niemöller's (I just copied and pasted that o-umlaut
from your next line -- this isn't a German keyboard, and doesn't
directly support accented letters) most famous poem by heart. It
asserts the importance of speaking out for persecuted minorities,
whoever they are.

I can't ride a horse; I wouldn't trust myself with a gun; and I don't
smoke. Nor do I have any sympathy for the policies of the BNP. But
when people start talking in all seriousness about the merit of
persecuting a group, any group, with extreme political violence, I
know I have to speak out against it.
