Why the silence?
68 Answers
The problem of some Muslim men absconding young white girls has been headline news for several days and has been widely discussed on many phone-in radio shows.
But what is strange is the fact that I myself have entered two questions on AB, concerning this issue and both have attracted very little interest , and others have not thought the matter serious enough to enter their own questions on the subject.
This excerpt from Melanie Phillips column on the subject says it all,
/// Muslim women are often treated abominably within their communities. But to their suffering, feminists and other right-on liberals are almost totally silent. The only sound from that lobby is the cry of ‘racist’ or ‘bigot’ hurled at anyone who dares protest at such religious slavery.///

I'm not in the least uncomfortable in discussing *any* issues, AOG.
But I can see no benefit in 'discussing' a topic with someone who has already stoppered his ears to any alternative point of view, and whom can be relied upon to trot out a range of canards and cliches and accuses folks with a contrary view of being aggressive.
If no-one wants to play with you anymore I suggest you take stock of your own behaviour.

In other words you cannot put up a good enough reverse argument against my posts, so you prefer to just carry on with your snide remarks.
If you are not up to the cut & thrust of the news debates perhaps you would be better to stick to your more gossipy topics, such as,
Royal Engagement - The 'grumblie' thread......
Post your grumbles here...........
Royal Engagement - The 'hurrah' thread.
Post your good wishes here..
Or perhaps take a course in DIY electrics.

ooooooooo, AOG, why the aggression and nastiness ?
You brook no argument to your position on any given topic.
Brow-beating people until they give up in exasperation does not constitute a victory, you know.
I find the fact that you took the time to search my questions rather sweet............in a pathetic sort of way.
Don't waste your time; stick to posting alarmist threads about the fuzzy-wuzzies, or whoever is in your sights today.

Not a complete waste of time or any flattery towards you, but my way of weighing up the opposition, to find out how they think and what concerns them enough to post in opposition.
Now I have found out , "not to taken seriously and no opposition whatsoever".

AOG:
You have specifically posted a question asking why the response to your previous questions hasn't been what you'd hoped. JTH has told you why she hasn't responded.
I think the following interaction indicates quite clearly that you posted this question with a specific ready-made answer in mind:
JTH "I rather see the subject matter of these interminable posts of yours as having been done to death."
AOG "Obviously it is the subject matter that you find uncomfortable, and would wish to be swept under the carpet"
This is not logic. I don't know about anyone else, but to me this indicates that you already had a specific answer in mind when you asked the question (there doesn't seem anywhere else you could have got your response to Jack, and your accusation is one that you've repeated against people numerous times before).
Which raises the problem of why you bothered to do so in the first place...

AOG, Intelligent people repeatedly reply to and debate about your anti-Muslim rants but it always seems to come to the same conclusion and you apear not to be able to handle it.
You are drowning in a sea of disagreement with only one or two like-minded individuals to throw you the life-jacket now and then.
IMO you need to face facts; you're out-voted. Out-voted by opinion and intelligent reasoning.
If you keep on this way you are just going to end up a sad, lonely bitter old man screaming that the whole world is wrong except you.
I for one would not try to change your head, if you want to believe what you appear to believe and dig your heels in deeper every time you perceive that someone is trying to change you, that's your look out.
All I would suggest is that you keep your right-wing views to yourself and talk about something else instead ...then again, I guess you thrive on the conflict
