Quoted from Rick12
At the end of the day mariner humans are  just evolved animals with a consciousness. In order for respect to be earned sometimes no amount of reasonable debate will get through to some people. Sometimes a bit of physicality does help with certain people .

Ive seen this quite a few times in my life. Where I was working once there was a road rage incident where a driver was given it the big one,honking his horn,swearing etc at a coach driver who was transporting school children to their games session. Soon as the coach driver got out eg 6ft 8 inches of him and 21 stone the car driver hurried back in his car due to being scared. Or the time a priest who I know was about to witness a pickpocket in Madrid take something. He purposely coughed and once the pickpocket saw the size of the priest who was 23 stone and 6 ft 3 he ran away as didn't want to get involved with a guy who was well built .



It saddens me that you think the ability to beat someone up earns that person respect. An adult should be able to have a disagreement without resorting to violence. And for the record, no I wouldn’t purposefully upset someone who could and possibly would beat the shite out of me. Doesn’t mean I’d respect them though, quite the opposite. If I knew there was an actual chance of them using violence I’d think they’re an emotionally stunted tw@t.

So only 3 in 10 people between 18-24 have any religion at all and from my own personal experience I'd suggest that a lot of those are not Christian with young people from Muslim and Hindu backgrounds being far more likely to describe themselves as religious.

Your right in a sense in this country  more and more people are not identifying with a particular religion but a high proportion worldwide do identify as religious:

I agree with you mariner but like noted sometimes in life physicality is a advantage . I've seen it in football/life as well where innocent people get started on by gangs of people or individual thugs. Had they had a good physical presence there chances of being started on would of decreased dramatically.

Quoted from mariner91
And frankly if you still believe in a magic man in the sky despite the plethora of scientific and historic evidence available to us then you're beyond help at this stage. Religions were made up to explain things that early humans couldn't understand or explain and then used for nefarious purposes to control poorly educated populations.

If it brings you some comfort then good for you, crack on. But it should have absolutely no bearing on every day life and government policies in a modern and progressive society.

Given the OT title, I thought you were describing Boris.

Yep wants to stay PM for the summer and do F all apart from take the pay, use the properties, drink as much as he can from the wine cellars and entertain those who will give him lots of money when he leaves. Expect he is even now doing deals for knighthoods and Lordships.
Anyone would believe he hadn’t been kicked out in disgrace by his own party

Yep, reportedly Nadine Dorries is to be given a peerage. After Gavin Williamson, you'd have to say, that the standard of members of the House of Lords isn't exactly increasing in quality. Sooner it is abolished, the better, though I doubt we'd be able to get rid of the financial benefits for the toadies ennobled as political favours over the years. Great sinecure for two of the least competent people to become MPs, however. Johnson continuing to spend other people's money with alacrity, despite being on the way out of office.
