Is anyone else interested? I'm not party political, because I find to much that is disagreeable about the various parties, for every plus point theres an equal minus one.
I realise this might be contravercial to some, is politics a taboo subject on here?
What autism friendly policies would you like to see parties take up?
Switzerland has the best idea. They dont really have a Prime Minister, they have a panel of people from a mixture of the political parties who decide things by consensus and all of them take turns to be Prime Minister. That way decisions are actually made with thought and consideration and for the good of the country rather than knee jerk reactions that they hope will win them votes and headlines or score points over the opposition like it is here.
In addition the Swiss have referundums over almost everything, giving the people the chance to decide what decisions are made for the country and therefore making the nation truly democratic. They even had a refurendum over whether to have a Covid lockdown. There are many reasons Id like to live in Switzerland, it is ordered and logical and calm for one, but this is another one
that sounds good. true democracy...democracy and voting on every single policy, i said we need this so that they countries laws are each the peoples fault and choosing and they dont need to complain or riot they just need to vote for whatever law they want to be. if the majority vote a way some cry babies dont like then instead of whining or rioting which puts people off their thing anyway, they need to convince everyone their thing they want is good enough for everyone else to vote in.
In one way, given the many harsh lessons taught to us during Covid, I honestly feel and believe that the only way out of our current situation is to reject “progress” and as far as possible, is to return in as many ways as possible to traditional religious based social and moral values, reflecting the fact that our society was built on Christian values and principles - I know that this view is unpopular in today’s modern and secular society, but I honestly believe that we are rapidly reaching a point where we will have no other option but to do so and if we don’t do so now while we have the chance, when we are eventually forced to do so later on, that path will be far harsher and much more painful for us and future generations, with far more radical and drastic measures needing to be taken to do so later on, as time is not on our side - the stakes of failure to do so could not be higher at this point
It’s come to light that this has been done by people who have infiltrated the Catholic Church in order to discredit and undermine its teaching Athority and in many cases, these have been found to be fabricated - one such example of this has been Catherine Corless of the Tuam Babies scandal - both when the allegations first came to the surface and when new evidence subsequently came to light disproving the original allegations, I was equally shocked and horrified

"Let he who is wthout sin cast the first stone".
"Before taking the speck out of your brothers eye, it is best remove the plank from your own".
Are you referring to my criticism of the Catholic Church here?
I dearly hope you aren't as I definitely do not have a plank in my eye in comparison to the sins of that institution + that is an insult.

If I may observe Debbie..
No, perhaps I'm best keeping my observations about how people conduct themselves here to myself
How do you consider I conduct myself here?
It's much nicer to not insinuate but if you have a criticism to level at me, actually say what that is.
I Sperg said:we are in the "Best Individual Effort" part
I think this is a sound observation.....we need to be doing the best we can muster....because the collective of result of what we've tried "recently" has really put us ALL in some VERY uncomfortable territory !!
No, perhaps I'm best keeping my observations about how people conduct themselves here to myself, and focussing on the cat pictures.
Incidentally, given that rather lush cat photo you posted in a thread somewhere else, (presumably your own pussycat) how come you've never participated in my cat pictures thread?
Although I believe I know where you are coming from and we see the same things happening out there, that's not the way Jesus would have played it or would have wanted his disciples to believe.
Don't fall into the same moral trap that Mr Putin has, where he claims to be an "orthodox Christian" and fighting the good fight, whilst the death toll in Ukraine keeps rising..
Christianity gets a bad rap PRECISELY because of inquisitions and crusades.
Inquisitions and crusades hapen when peoeple get their Chrisiianity form listening to the men in big hats, rather than going and reading a single gospel for themselves and paying heed to what the Christ in Christianity actually DID and TAUGHT HIMSELF.
Irish In ManchesterUK, although I've used caps for emphasis and I am making an argument with your proposed strategy, I'm pretty sure we have passed the point where it's possible to ORGANISE strong "Christian" resisitance to the works of satan.
FWIW, I've come to believe we are in the "Best Individual Effort" part where we get tested on whether we got enough of the message Jesus came to impart or not.
Don't forget the Magdalen Laundries either, all those poor babies buried in septic tanks and the iike and their mothers made to work like slaves too.
