"Uneducated f**kwit " Are you claiming that the DUP arent a bunch of knuckledragging, window licking, terrorist supporting, gay hating, creationist, sectarian, anti abortion, fenian hating, halfwits? Or are you arguing that having the entire UK future placed on the hands of a party which got fewer than 300,000 votes is democracy? | |||

"Where to begin - aside from their terrible LGBT and abortion views - the very fact some of the 10 elected MPs believe in creationism (that the earth is only 4000 years old) should be enough to tell the casual observer what sort of party they are." I agree with you about LGBT and abortion views but I don't think you're right that any of their MPs are creationists although some of their members are. As are some members of the SNP and Labour party as well as Sinn Fein and Alliance. | |||

"the DUP are attempting to force their creationist views on others by demanding it be included in the school curriculum and places like the NT visitor centre at Giants Causway etc ... this is why so many people are being so vocal. It's because the minority views of the DUP will in all probabilty end up being foisted onto the entire country which will make huge societal changes on a religous basis. " There's a good overview of an organisation called the Caleb Foundation on wikipedia. Somewhat pertinent and shows examples of policy being influenced by religious beliefs. | |||

And now it turns out that parliament's opening may be delayed because Brenda's speech must, by tradition, be printed on goatskin vellum, which takes several days to dry! What a country, steeped in feudalism and meaningless traditions. Probably explains why the oranginas are so determined to hang on to the raj, rather than agree to the logical reunification with a more modern Republic of Ireland. Ulster's politics is trapped in the traditions of the 17th century, while its social outlook is burdened by the doctrines of the old testament's nomads. This is the tail that wants to wag the dog during the next parliament. FFS! | |||

" I'm sitting here wondering if the Sinn Fein Not-MPs might be thinking of taking up their seats. " They get Stephen Rea to voice the oaths for them "And now it turns out that parliament's opening may be delayed because Brenda's speech must, by tradition, be printed on goatskin vellum, which takes several days to dry!" Actually they use vellum because its a terrifically robust and long lasting archive material, there are vellum parchments in the parliamentary archives from 500 years ago that are still perfectly fine today, whereas no digital material from that era survives at all. | |||

"The "more modern "Republic of Ireland" still gives its loyalty to the Pope in Rome. If Eire were to truly modernise and disenfranchise the Church, and become a true secular Republic - perhaps then North and South might be re-united?" Like the secular United Kingdom where the established church is headed up by the Queen? The grip of the catholic church in the ROI is a thing of the past | |||

"Is it so bad to believe in God and religion as some here think and to promote that belief to others ? Is it wrong to believe that same sex relationships are wrong ?" Um, yes I think it is wrong. Especially when those people try to foist their beliefs on others (i.e. as in blocking legislation). There's no evidence that "god" or whoever, has anything against this. The words of "god" have always (handily) been written down by the blokes in charge. I would suggest that what evidence there is, shows that Jesus bloke to be a very tolerant and loving person, to everyone. Just because these people are stuck in the thinking and politics of the dark ages, has no relevance to what anyone else should be able to do (even within their own religion). | |||

Not a relatively long time ago, it was illegal to be gay in this country. Not long before that, it was legal to own a slave, or have sex with children etc. Very often when legislation was brought in it was against the majority of the population. Sometimes the leaders in a society have to force changes that make it better for people in that society, whether the majority want it or not. I am pretty sure that today the majority of people would be for capital punishment for some crimes. But it won't happen, because most MPs are against this. People are allowed to think what they like, but that does not make those views "equally valid". | |||

"Both Eire and UK have religion enshrined in the state - and they both need to be dis-enfranchised, so that we can form a secular partnership either inside or outside of the EU. The Catholic/Protestant divide should be relegated to history, where it belongs. The Good Friday Agreement must prevail!" People always quote religion as the divide in Northern Ireland but it's really race. There are those that consider themselves Irish and those that consider themselves British. These two groups are largely the same as Catholic and Protestant. The state does not enshrine religion anymore than the rest of UK but there is a strong religious element in political parties policies. I don't disagree with the basic tenet of your post but maybe cleared up some points. | |||

"Is it so bad to believe in God and religion as some here think and to promote that belief to others ? Is it wrong to believe that same sex relationships are wrong ? Um, yes I think it is wrong. Especially when those people try to foist their beliefs on others (i.e. as in blocking legislation). There's no evidence that "god" or whoever, has anything against this. The words of "god" have always (handily) been written down by the blokes in charge. I would suggest that what evidence there is, shows that Jesus bloke to be a very tolerant and loving person, to everyone. Just because these people are stuck in the thinking and politics of the dark ages, has no relevance to what anyone else should be able to do (even within their own religion). But that is the point of democracy, there is debate and discussioin and then decision and the majority view wins, those that disagree have a choice, either except the view of others or produce a better argument and wait for the next opportunity to change the law. In NI the majority view is that abortion and being gay is wrong, until the majority change their mind and the law changes those that disagree have to accept it, calling people names and saying they live in the dark ages etc isnt improving their argument it smacks of being dictatorial and undemocratic. Personally I dont mind if people want to be gay good luck to them and there are good reasons for allowing abortionsbut I totally accept others hold very different and equally valid views No, I am going to have to disagree. Not a relatively long time ago, it was illegal to be gay in this country. Not long before that, it was legal to own a slave, or have sex with children etc. Very often when legislation was brought in it was against the majority of the population. Sometimes the leaders in a society have to force changes that make it better for people in that society, whether the majority want it or not. I am pretty sure that today the majority of people would be for capital punishment for some crimes. But it won't happen, because most MPs are against this. People are allowed to think what they like, but that does not make those views "equally valid"." So its the old " I am cleverer than you so I'm right" basis for making decisions, not sure that is valid when we see whats happened in the last few years where the clever people have been shown up often after trying to cover up, everyone is entitled to a view and the majority wins, if you lose you improve your argument not call the winners thick, once you go down this route its a slippery road to big brother ruling for the people as he knows best | |||
