Pip They're two quite different things and it's important to ensure the differences are highlighted.
Wardy, every now and then I find myself agreeing with you despite my liberal limp wrists. Today however, won't be one of them.
Perhaps you'd like to go and tell Splat who you seem to hold in high regard (pixelly speaking) what you just said. I'm sure he'd look on it favouribly.
Or perhaps you'd like to pontificate to the thousands in Africa . I bet they'd be well chuffed to know that it's all mainly a 'gay lord' thing and nothing for them to worry about. Hey, I bet the pope could use a man like you!
I can see where you're coming from. I know the justification that you'll be making next will be along the lines of 'But China, then they can do what they like without needing to worry about condoms, my comments are not offensive but realistic...' etc...
I'm not in a position to be offended by your comments. But I am astounded by the ignorance of your remarks. Especially for one who can sometimes show himself to be remarkably bright.
I think you should be ashamed of yourself. But I know you won't be.
With that in mind, it's safe to say we won't be agreeing on this any time soon.
