    I have no problem with schools discussing creationism, but to teach it exclusively and to dismiss evolution calling it a lie or not even mentioning it at all, as was the case at this Jewish school, is just plain wrong. The teenage boy they interviewed last night didn't even understand the word...

    It's shocking that children born in this country are growing up without speaking English and only being taught creationism in schools. Really shocking.

    Right, that's that then. Will never ever support those disrespectful English again. :whistle: Funny world isn't it, cos pretty much in all my dealings with French people I thought they were all lovely. I worked for a French firm for 4 years and they were all really, really nice.

    Well that was precisely what was being said in Dispatches this evening. Ultra orthodox Jewish kids were told that the outside world was bad and their way was the only way. Total segregation. Switched off from the outside world. Some kids were going to these ultra schools at 7 in the morning...

    Maybe this just sums it all up

    Yeah and this sums it up too .... No club playing in Coventry andmore and more of these sorts of images are going to be produced. No club here and no live football games to attend and children are going to be ever increasingly drawn to what they see on TV week in week out and end up choosing...

    Yep. Exactly my thoughts. Surely we need more integration and less segregation don't we?

    He did. It was for Fargo. Utopia is going back in time to when the experiment first came into being.

    Ban them? I have never been keen on them anyway to be honest, but stuff that's been in the news lately and the kind of things revealed tonight on C4's Dispatches is most worrying. Accusations of Christmas not being celebrated, Muslim boys being told that a wife must always consent to sex...

    Do You Believe that Some of the Wilson Money Will Be Reinvested in the Team?

    Would say some will. Don't think it'll be much though.

    It can be quite regional. Went to Denver in the US, but stopped in NY on the way for 2 days.The difference was startling. Every single person I encountered in New York was incredibly rude and everyone in Denver so incredibly friendly and nice.

    It is. A friend of mine though went to live on the east coast of Scotland for 4 years, but then came back because she had such a hard time. When she lived they didn't even speak to her just because she was English. Very sad and she's lovely too. :(

    Guessing unlucky. I would love to meet a nice German, I really would. If you have any please send them round asap.

    And my motto in life has always been to treat everyone as an individual and each and everyone on their own individual merits. I really, really detest sterotypes. :(

    Final - Germany vs Argentina

    Well yes, that's true. Had the same thing. Walked into a Welsh pub once where everyone was speaking English, but then as soon as they saw us (just a family) they all started speaking in Welsh. As I say, I would love to meet a nice German person, I really would. Everyone I have ever encountered...

    Don't hate them, course I don't. That was meant in jest. But I do have to say unfortunately, that every encounter I have ever had with a German has resulted in the reinforcement of the stereotype of them being arrogant and very arrogant at that. Would love to meet a nice German. Really would...

    Sisu will not drop JR appeal

    Surely a return to court will result in very much disinterested parties won't it?

    Well though I would normally be in agreement with you, on this I think it was a complete accident. I was amazed when Lawrenson was talking of a red card for Aguero. For me he went up for the ball, there was no intent and I think it looks like the nails of his fingers catch Sweinsteiger. The...
