bexrbetter Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I know it's not my culture but making a female child dress like that, let alone the boys don't have to, just disgusts me to the bone. That is not "choice", I don't care what plate it's served on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Perry Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 I've read Bex's comment twice Kiwi. . . .I can't see mention of the "R" word,. . .or were you referring to a different post. . .? Ah well,. . . . maybe there are cultural differences in interpretation of other things too ? ? ? I've been to a few countries where their ( Apparent) "Interpretation" of a POH, or flight regs and sometimes physics,. . . differ quite markedly from those I understand. . . . cultural interpretation is widespread perhaps. . . . .

old man emu Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 And it is culture, not religion. All the Koran requires is Modesty, not Covered with a Bedsheet. I think that this disparity between the written condensation a religion's founder (Old Testament, New Testament, Koran, Book of Mormon etc) and cultural practices is the main cause of the problem we face in integrating several cultures. I believe that the philosophy of all religions in present-day civilised societies is ultimately to live in peace with one's neighbours. It is the hang-over of tribal custom from uncivilised times that causes the friction between and within religions. OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Savile was one of the early DJs there. . . . they used to play 60 seconds of the hits, perhaps to get around the copyright laws somehow by not playing the whole track ? I dunno.

Gnarly Gnu Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Danish government approves plan to seize refugees valuables to cover asylum costs. This is a start, although I suggest it would be preferable to manage this as it used to be done - very limited initial assistance with the expectation you would immediately commence learning the local language and be earning your own way quite soon. Welfare that is not time limited is not sustainable and is very bad for the recipients (as well as for taxpayers of course). Next step - cancel their visa if they ever return to their homeland. Neither measure is an issue for genuine refugees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually remember hearing his name at the time, in fact I didn't know saville was one of the DJs pushing Decca until a few years later. But it was a good station for early popular music for us kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
