"He is more than entitled to express independent thought despite whether or not other people may deem it standard or correct” says a UKIP spokeswoman.

You get people like that anywhere, political parties included. Doesn't mean the party should be painted in a similar light.

Or do you want to google "stupid things politicians have said?"

As for the Church thing, that's not the same branch of Protestantism.

Given how they were attention seeking rather than actually protesting Id say the police should have been called.

I don't think you can get someone arrested for waving a flag around in a public space m8.

If theyre running from window to window they arent on public land, pal.  If they're on church property antagonizing people then they can certainly be arrested.  But its not about arresting them.  Its more about shooing them away.

Whatever cause they think theyre championing its obviously not being done right if you have to play hide and seek with the windows like you are paint balling.  We call it trolling on the internetz.

Indeed - right to an opinion and all that. Interesting how he was suspended for voicing said opinion though, right? Oh, and incidentally, he is a baptist.

And you think that a significantly right wing party is going to have those people in the same density as the general population?

I was imagining it being running past on the street. If it's the way you said it then fair enough.

[TD1]

He's a Baptist?

Ha!

As for suspension, well you can understand that, no? Just cements the fact it's not a party view. And yea, he does have the right to express his view-doesn't mean there won't be consequences.

I don't think there's a way to see if people with certain political views can be deemed to possess more crazy views than others'.

But yes, I would assume the number of people susceptible to believing stupid things stays fairly constant.

[Jopax]

Ok now I think she almost asked me out? Or didn't? It felt like it for a bit before it started feeling like not.

I can't figure this shit out man I honestly can't.

(also I do plan on asking her out, just gotta catch her somewhere other than a crowd of friends, that's too wierd)

[TD1]

Girls only ever seem to go about in the plural. Might have to wait a time

But yea, if you think she'd be receptive to it, and you want to, then ask her out.

[pisskop]

Noo.  Gotta do it.  All my experience says you gotta make that effort, because otherwise you'll be waiting for that perfect moment and before you know it 10 good moments have already past you by.  Being nervous isnt as bad as you'd think.

---

think about it.  She's going to tell her friends if you ask her out anyway.  May as well make that impression on the group and get to at least know them now.

[Helgoland]

Could come off as confident, though. Waltz into their group and ask: "[Movie]'s on on [day] at [time]. Wanna go?" If she doesn't answer positively, just shrug and walk away.

[TD1]

Personally, I'd probably make a fool out of myself if I tried that. Maybe go to the group and ask if you could speak to her?

[Flying Dice]

This is it. She could be waiting to see if you have the guts to ask her out with the risk of public rejection.

Or she could be posting about your unclear intentions in another forum's equivalent of this thread.

It shows that they don't want those views openly associated with the party. Given that he was suspended for offering continued press interviews about the issue, rather than for having those views.

I never said anything about "more crazy". I was referring specifically to that kind of anti-gay sentiment.

And while this is tangential, I am of the opinion that at least left wing crazy is more often than not well-intentioned, while right wing crazy is outright vitriolic

btw, please don't listen when people tell you that "girls do this" or "girls do that" nobody likes being stereotyped. IT's a real turn off.

Would you like to start an anti-generalisation group with Tiruin? You could get together and... uh... object to whenever anyone makes a statement about a group I guess.

Doesn't sound like stereotyping to me. Generalisation, sure, but it's pretty darn accurate.
