You're a strange lot you English. You look down on everyone who isn't

An anti immigration view is endemic




Having some of them start chopping up British soldiers in the streets is


supposed to *endear* them to us?




Ah yes, the "them and us" mentality again. People are individuals, just


because someone does an act of atrocity supposedly in the name of some


religion does not mean everyone following that religion is going to


start chopping people up. This sort of tribal mentality really holds us


back as a species.






and now you have the nutters in UKIP as well as the Conservative


party to voice your narrow opinions.




All opinions are valid.






No they're not.




Excuse me?!




Whether you personally agree with someone's opinion is one thing, but


that doesn't alter the fact that everyone is entitled to belive what


they like!






Agreed, but that is not the same as saying all opinions are valid, which

is the statement I was disagreeing with.



For example, if I want an opinion on a particular subject, then the

opinions of someone who is an authority in that subject would be valid

whereas the opinions of someone who is clueless on that subject would

probably be useless.


Yeah true

Just ask insurance companies , who are the so called experts and see how many wildly varying quotes you get. Or is that opinion?
