We Need To Make A Stand

[funkychicken]

Now I'm sorry this isn't about woodwork but I think it's very important.



Why are we so concerned about climate change when there is another far worse problem staring us in the face? It’s on the streets, it’s in the media, it’s become part of our lives and we just let it continue to grow.
We have developed a society that is constantly bombarding us with hyper-sexualised images and messages. Women, especially young ones, are no longer viewed as full human being, deserving of our respect, but as sex objects, devoid of feelings. The media has us believe that things like sex before marriage, abortion etc. are a win/win situation. The reality is that they’re not. They only contribute to the growing number of eating-disorders, self-harm and depression in young and old women alike.
It is now, in the time of darkness, that we need to make stand. We can only make a difference if we are Silent No Longer.

Not to mention the rising costs of Dominos and the outragous price of Titebond111

[Burnsy]

maybe it would be cheaper if I rode a white horse

.............. We can only make a difference if we are Silent No Longer.

What about Silent C?

So if we're to be Silent No Longer, what would you have us say?

Not to trivialise the subject matter, but your analysis of cause and effect is, to say the least, questionable.

If I'm going to make a stand I usually prefer to use steel..... but if I'm going to TAKE a stand the it's a different thing altogether!

[dazzler]

Because sex before marriage is a christian belief and only effects christians.

Climate change effects us all.

Too bloody right Gra. I'm with you.
If I can't get any, them no-one else should either.

And why dosnt Bakers Delight sell butter

[zenwood]

The eyes of blazing fire would only contribute to global warming, surely?

[Rocker]

Quite right; we need more pictures of Amanda Vanstone in the media, so that women are can congratulate themselves that their body doesn't look too bad after all

You're right! It's time we made a stand against right-wing religious nutters! There are too many of them around and they have far too much say.

[woodbe]

Actually, let's take a stand against ALL religious nutters.

Oh yea, Men dominate religion, and often the status of women within those holy walls is still centuries worse off than where they are in general society. As a result, religion is the last place I'd look for inspiration on how to treat our womenfolk.

woodbe. (shutting up now in case I blurt out something about little boys and get myself into trouble)

[Zed]

lets just ban religion.
