Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

I think that religion and religious icons should be held up to ridicule. I think being offended is over rated. There should be freedom to offend people. I saw Vince Cable on question time some weeks ago and even he said almost exactly the same thing. The reform of the House of Lords and the removal of Lord Bishops should help in the trend to a secuilar sociatey. People who believe in spernatural being with no evidence should be offended even more regularly.

It is good to be so definite about yourself and opinions and what is right for others.

Or, perhaps, is it another delusion, a substitute false belief, another over valuation of yourself, or another false belief about yourself?

Anti-Zionist Jewish Protestors

A group of Orthodox Jews protest against Zionism when a hatefull SOB confronts them and raises his own blood pressure. Hope he had a heart attack later that day!

Perhaps, you should stick to copying an pasting recipes.

I don't mind people believing in paranormal beings. I don't mind them practising their 'faith'. They just don't deserve any special treatment any more then people who believe in UFOS, ghosts, that the earth is flat or other such silly nonsense. We shouldn't be giving their schools special tax treatment or their 'churches' (churches include temples etc). We are heading towards a secular society and the sooner the better. Organised religion is one of the most damaging influences in the world at the moment and has been for thousands of years.

Got to completely agree with that.
The problem is that some people "need" religion and because it is so embedded in so many different cultures it can only wither slowly without positive governmental action.
Roll on a secular society where religion has zero connection to the state and doesn't financially bleed or twist and distort society and social policy.

Religious schools only perform better because they are preselecting their pupils from parents who see education as important. They are not better schools per se.

Is the latter true of Private Schools and the Parents' schools, which Cameron is, presently, so enthusiastic about at the moment.

Probably, the enthusiasm will be gone tomorrow.

Yes. It is also true. I have one son who attends a well known public school, the other gores to a state school. The cleverist pupils ate the state school are certainly cleverer than those at the public school. There are several boys who have grade A at A level two years earlier than normal. However the schooling at the public school is of a higher standard generally with virtually every teacher from Oxbridge. The schooling is more rounded with a huge range of activities. Thye have extensive playing fields, which Labour councils sold off years ago. They have their own swimming and diving pools plus many other facilities.

It would be interesting to reverse the roles of teachers, ie place the teachers from the public schools into state schools for a year and vice versa. My money would be on the exact same results in both schools, matters not one jot where teachers are educated. Until proper discipline is re-introduced into state schools above average pupils will always suffer due to distractions from pupils who don't want to be there. Teachers in public schools have a captive audience one would hope :o)

Proper discipline is part of it but higher expectations is probably even more fundamental. One of the problems Oxbridge have in meeting their government-agreed target for recruiting from state schools is that the brighter state pupils in disadvantaged areas are not encouraged to apply. Recently of course another problem is that they have Diplomas in Ben 10 and X factor rather than A-levels in Physics and Chemistry.

What has this got to do with the quality of teachers in cookery schools?

Hey fahel, I've just watched one of your videos for the first time.
Do you have a job, or do you just trawl the internet 24/7 looking for anti-Israel material?
That frummer is Borat by the way.

Of course children in Public Schools are better behaved, pay attention and work harder. If you were paying c. 28k a year to have your child educated, you'd make bloody sure he/she did all of those things. The problem with state education is that the parents think it's free so not their problem.

what strange logic though familial aspirations have a considerable contribution ..... of course, everyone knows that the arabs are lazy and disruptive and the jews hard working and model pupils (ian - please don't censure/censor - you know it's only me being ironic)

HO HO HO.

Very funny

Well be low your usual sarcastic self.

What do you mean, "HO HO HO"?
Are you trying to rebrand yourself as Santa Claus?
You are as jovial as Gordon Brown with stomach cramps on the day of his ultimate rejection.

You should try aspiring to cynic's sense of humour.

In fact you should aspire to having any sense of humour.

In fact you are so unfamiliar with the phrase, you should try googling it.

quite so ITLB, tho in fact i was really responding to MM's comment
