    We may disagree that teaching children to not be racist is a bad thing. But the hypocrisy is staggering here when you talk of indoctrination given that my childhood in school involved singing hymns and doing the lords prayer every day.

Where is the sacred religion of wokery defined - or do you just make it up as you go along (I know the answer)? All the many social problems around us are getting worse as your new culture is forced upon the world.
    We're allowed to disagree. Christianity has been used to repress gay people and women for a very long time. Do you agree?

If you can't appreciate Mozart's religious music, take a look at the exquisite beauty and the unbelievable skill in the incredible art treasures in the crypt at St Bavo's Cathedral, Ghent (that have incidentally survived many attempts by mindless revolutionaries to destroy them) and tell me what is their equivalent in your brave new world.
    There you go showing your ignorance again. And more straw men. I never criticised Mozart... it was more the boring, droning on "all things bright and beautiful" and its ilk that in my experience British churches repeat ad nauseum.

    I also acknowledged the beauty in the architecture and will extend that to the art. That doesn't mean it's not a load of old nonsense, or we should be brainwashing our kids into old-fashioned Christian values of homophobia and misogyny because some talented middle-ages artists had no choice but to be Christian.

    I did indeed put up a post that I regretted the next day. Seeing it was my post it was also my prerogative to remove it, as I was the originator, very similar to when others have asked a mod to take a post down they regretted posting.

    A few had replied to my post copying and pasting my original post. Because I had removed my post, it made no sense to leave my comments within someone else's replies that in effect made no sense once I had deleted my wording, are you with me still?

    As for CAM slapping my wrist , I'd do the same again if the same circumstances repeated themselves.

    NB. I have tried though not to post too late at night so as not to regret something I may say in the heat of the moment.
    So you learned nothing?

    Those who do not learn the lessons from history are destined to repeat them. Here's a reminder:

    If you're willing to abuse your position as a moderator I think you should step down or have it removed.

    In this thread you appear to hint that you're willing to abuse your power by restricting conversation when you don't like how the conversation is going.

    It's pretty sh*tty behaviour to be honest.

    "Critical Race Theory" is quite obviously a "racist" dogma anyway and its intention seems to be to stir up racial hatred. Do you think it should used to indoctrinate children in schools (secretly or against the wishes of parents)? Do you think that teachers who object to it should be sacked? Do you think people should be in fear of the consequences of criticizing it? And what about traditional conservative teachers and university academics - should they be eliminated from the education system?

    Christianity has been used for a lot of bad things - that is the nature of religion

    Oh dear - now that is suffering. I draw the line at that.

    Do you have examples of Christ promoting homophobia and misogyny? - I don't know of any. There are perhaps some examples of him making racial remarks. But race obsessed lefties tie themselves in logical knots with their condescending attitude to members of other races (effectively patting them on the head with the "I'll look after you - don't worry" attitude).

    .....'Step down'....where are we, 'House of Commons'?

    CAM called it, 'not something he should be using 'willy nilly'. That's hardly abusing my power now is it?

    I lobbed, you bit, you're in the net. . Of course I'll be a good chap and not abuse this site

    hmmmm ....

    looked this up:

    sanctimonious ****


    Someone (usually John2) who sees themselves in a position of superiority and once they have made up their mind don't listen to any rational argument, but always have a personally objectifying explanation at the ready for why one is disagreeing or complaining.

    A virtue signalling and pretentious individual who thinks they are above everyone else.

    A person (or conglomerate of two persons who are virtually indistinguishable as individuals) who is so far up his or her own (or their own collective) arsehole their own mother wants to run them down. (I bet she does as well)





    Give it a rest FFS. Brin doesn't need anyone to defend him but, unlike you, he does regularly contribute and helps keep this message board active. He's not perfect but he is popular on here.


    So be a good lad and f@ck off. The vast majority do not care what you have to say.

    So much so, rather than Brin stepping down as a mod because YOU think he should, why don't you stop posting here again because the vast MAJORITY on here, would like that better?

    We could put it to the vote. The mods could agree to follow the result.

    1. Brin steps down as a mod and keeps posting or
    2. John2 has his account permanently deleted.


    Grow up.

    Yes he does. I've had runs ins with him but I didn't spit my dummy out.
    If you don't like it, don't read it.
    Too many people don't like hearing opposing views. It never ceases to amaze me how many resort to outright abuse when they're put on the spot with difficult questions.
    We don't live in a fascist society (yet!)

    Spot on. Thanks Vataland and John for some very interesting exchanges.
