Oh dear,
You can get away with a lot around here, but take a swipe at middle aged englishmen or Winston Churchill (OK, the same thing) and its jihad time.
Obviously I can't answer all of this in detail.
Sniper, observant Jews & committed Catholics can both get religious divorces. I'm pretty sure the Jewish version allows for decisions on property, not sure on the Catholic one. You really need to get out more.
The Ward Churchill crack is disturbing. It tells me that you are one of these people who assumes that if a person disagrees with them on one or two issues then they fit some pro forma set of opinions. This says more about your need to beat up on conveniently constructed straw men then it does about my beliefs.
Oh, and if Churchill (Winston) had his way I would now be speaking Japanese. You would still be speaking English reguardless. Do yur homework.
Glyn, stop jumping to conclusions & throwing tantrums. I'm sure that even you would concede that Churchill was a deeply flawed figure who made a lot of mistakes over a long career. He was also the only person who could have led Britain through WW2. My point, had you bothered to ask, was that it is easy to worship a leader from afar (actually, I did sort of say that). Britons understood Churchill's limitations & voted him out of office when the war was over. Americans struggle to understand this. (yes, I know he got voted back in a few years later. You Brits do have a sentimental streak).
Oh, and if the video in question was supposed to be satire then I retract my comments. Viewed as such it was very funny.
If all of this gets me on your 'ignore' list then so be it, though I judging by those standards it is a VERY long list.
David, stop behaving like a petulant child. Sorry that I didn't wade through the catalogue of videos of the fellow in question. After the first one there was no real incentive. If I want to hear middle aged men complain I will have a beer with the blokes from my cricket club.
If I have misjudged the man then correct me by all means. If you want to make personal comments & call me names because I disagree with some third party then get back on your meds. You want I should start to return the favour?
I gave you credit for being a bit more grown up than that. Was I wrong?
To the gathered masses: stories on TV & 'shock horror' articles in the paper do not constitute understanding of something as complex as a 1500 year old legal code.
I don't judge Hinduism by those extremists who still sacrifice children (yes, it does happen), want to bring back the suttee (spelling correct?), or burn Christian missionaries & their children to death. I extend the same courtesy to other religions. Apparently I am a lone voice in that respect.
