Nothing wrong with disabled people - hell its the ones who are fine but claiming to be disabled we should be worried about.

Nothing Wrong with Disabled people, Just shows how we take being abled bodied for granted.

As for the Do Gooders that seem to spring up everywhere nowdays, who regulates them?? and what right do they have to tell us what or not to believe in.

Only in the UK have we got Councils chopping down apple trees in open parkland, in case an apple falls on someone and hurts them. And lets not forget the do gooders that Cancel "Christmas Celebrations, and lights" , because it might upset other religions??

The UK is predominately a Christian country, whilst the Do gooders are attcking the christian faith at the result of the minority, who actually tells them what they are doing is the way forward?? But worst of all, Who speaks out for the christians!!

Its a funny old world and its getting worst

The cross is just as much as sign of political and religious fundamentalism. Just look at the American loonies in the deep south.

Christianity has its fair share of nutters and extremists. I'd just ban all religion (no matter what type) in public run services. No need for it, if you are religious then do your praying in church or at home. There is no need to inflict it on the rest of us.

The Uk is really going OTT on this. I am not religious but i respect people for who they are not what religion they follow.

A prayer from any religion is only a good thing for those in need. Just as long as its not forced upon people.

I seen on the news that the UK is now having "Muslim Day" in swimming pools. To which women and men are seperated and women must wear clothes from their neck, to their ankles. It's a little overboard, don't you think?

well of course its over the top because next think we be having chinnese or polish only days.
We stopped going to Alton Towers because of their Muslim only day.

Alton Towers scrapped the idea because of poor ticket sales. That was years ago.
What was wrong with the idea ? The date was clearly stated well in advance, how is that a problem. It was only ONE day.

It is discrimination. I would have boycotted them as well and I don't even know what Alton Towers is. Discrimination of any sort shouldn't be tolerated. If one group is expected to tolerate others, than every group should be expected to tolerate others.

The point is they tried it,so just because they had poor ticket sales does`nt mean im going to run back and spend money at their park.
If ticket sales had been high then they would of gone for more days.
I will never have a day out at alton towers again,simply as,and the only people it hurts is alton towers business because i choose to spend my money at other theme parks now.

Yes for me but I'm not into religion either I'm an atheists. Its for me annoying since I do not buy into the religion idea. And it would not do anything for me. Now that being said if a nurse came up to me and asked to pray for me I'd politely tell her no I was ok, but I certainly would not want her to be fired because she offered to pray for me unless she tried to force the issue. If you try and force the issue then yeah get the hell away from me! Its a little bit much to fire her I think.
