Has anyone noticed that a disproportionately large amount of media airtime seems to be spent on these minority groups?

A large survey in the UK showed about 92% heterosexual. I suspect in the Western liberal world that would be about right.

Not making a comment about the rights and wrongs or even against articles, just seems to be a lot

One reason Varche is that this week is was the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York against American police, who were so bigoted and reflected such a violent approach to the homsexual community, that something had to give.

That is what is happening and I think, why not?

Why not, Lizzie? Here's why not: it has little to do with religion and a lot to do with being against nature.
What is nature's prime directive for ALL species? To create more of that species. This is obviously impossible with either two males or two females; hence homosexualuty is against nature. QED!

I'm not: he is actually a very clever man - despite what Lizzie thinks!

Happy birthday Lizzie - have a good one!

Regarding stereotypes, if they weren't strongly founded on truth rhey wouldn't be at all funny and therefore no point.

I have always believed in “equal but different”, which is where I disagree with many feminists who want total equality – nature hasn’t planned it that way and we should celebrate the differences.
However, it's amazing how many fish need bicycles!

Rods2, I have been saying much the same for decades, having learned all that at school, but like you, I am amazed how politicians manage to spin their lies and idiots are gullible enough to believe them.
As you say, it is in order to make us compliant and "willing" to pay for our sins in higher taxation.

Some time ago when I was foolish enough to go to Kqikshit for a tyre (good price at the time), I had to insist that they did NOT use a winmdy gun to tighten the wheelnuts, but use a torque spanner. Having found one, they were at a loss to know which setting to use; I had to tell them that needed to be 110nm!

Knocked three noughts off for accuracy

Hmmm yes. $:-\$

It's a bit ambiguous as to what constitutes a trillion.

A thousand billion, a million billion, or a billion billion..... $:-\$

And that's not to mention zillions and gadzillions!

You were correct in your original poat, your Sirship - a proper English trillion = 10 exp 18, just as our billion = 10 exp 12 and not as rhe septics would have it.

I've never been told by any tyre company to check my wheel nuts after X miles - not even kwikshit, who will deny responsibility for anything. However, there is a tyre-cum-breakers near Wareham (Trents) who display large signs with big red letters advising tyre customers to bring the vehicle back after 50 miles to have the wheelnuts checked. This puts the onus on them and not the customer for the safety of the vehicle - which is exactly where it should lie.

i doubt whether it has anything to do with the football, Lizzie! But then, I wouldn't want to watch football in any circumstances, even if the women were gorgeous: it's a pathetic game played by overpaid morons!
