  three cheers for australia!

  muslims who want to live under islamic sharia law were told on wednesday to get out of australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

  a day after a group of mainstream muslim leaders pledged loyalty to australia at a special meeting with prime minister john howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.

  I guess the Australians are asking for the same respect that they gave the Aborigines...

  Do you support gay marriage?

  is your belief moral, social or practical?

  would you feel the same way if there were absolutely no religious influence on the matter pro or con?.

  regardless of your belief, does every adult have a fundimental right to marry anyone of his or her choosing, regardless of gender?.

  I encourage you to read "Death of the West", the author knows what he is talking about.

  and he's a tad extreme in his views. All this talk of biological lines and race - is your race worth more than others? does race hold intinsic value?

  Its not really an issue that ive spent many hours pondering over

  Funnily enough, neither have I, but a friend that's a lawyer for the Scottish Exec was just telling me yesterday that it's a question they're having to respond to. And it's a little more interesting than the usual gay marriage question that has been eternally hashed out here.

  Stoning was always over a little too quick. The scolds bridle and a hot stake are my preferred punishment. Perhaps the latter could be an alternative to windfarms round your way, keep you toasty!

  would have have them lose that particular right, prisons are becoming less and less of a punishment and more of a hotel or holiday camp

  lol, you're sounding liberal and daily mail reader in the same post!

  If we allow heterosexual prisoners to have prison marriages then homosexual prisoners must be permitted to marry their partners under EU civil rights legislation. So is it only prisoners marrying prisoners and cohabiting that should be prevented, or should we stop homosexual prisoners having the 'privilege' of cohabiting with their lovers?

  Im not homophobic, but I turned it off not long after the sex scene. It grossed me out, plain and simple.

  The pirated version must have been different to the screened version I saw which had two men struggling about in a tent, clothed.

  And for all those that seem to think this represents Hollywoods gay agend, it's existed as a short story by Anni Proux for a few years, why weren't y'all complaining about that being published? Where was your nausea, disgust and disapproval?

  Or can't you read?

  Some folks just need to get out more.

  Of course I support gay marriage and I'm quite content with a civil partnership, but I'd like to muddy the water a little.

  Since December 2005 in the UK Civil Partnerships have given same sex partnerships the same legal rights as marriage does to heterosexuals and as a result some prisoners are demanding the right to form a Civil Partnership with their cohabiting partners. If this is permitted it will no doubt be deemed as discriminatory to heterosexual prisoners who cannot cohabit, even if their partners are in prison. So should prison inmates be permitted to form civil partnerships with same sex prisoners?

  i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

  (and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

  anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
