Quote:How do you feel about the recent influx of people from an Islamic background coming to the UK and maintaining their religious identity (as Muslims)?
I'm a bit skeptical about this, I think people underestimate how big a stumbling block religion is to integration, some of the stronger beliefs can't really be compromised on (equality, openness to blasphemy etc.)
Quote:The Tories have done quite a good job of that as well, the bastards. I live in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Our MP remained Conservative, and I think most of the region did as well.
Most of everywhere seems to have gone Tory, are the people selfish arseholes there? I always assumed that's what Tory voter territory would be like. I'm from former coal mining land which means a donkey with a red rosette could get in here, which is why i didn't vote
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
