re: pvv:women do not deserved to be raped I'm not one of "them," pvv. And that was my point. There is no "them" and "us". There is a "you" and "I" and you and I can sit and talk like two human beings, belonging to the same species on the same planet. And You could be a Muslim and I could be Jew and that should make no damned difference at all, because what our respective religious or political "leaders" (ie, dross which had floated to the top) say, should take nothing away from the fact that we are still two humans in close communication, on the coal face of life, trying to eek a life for ourselves: minus the hatred, minus the lies, minus the thieving and corruption which these leaders dump upon us.
Whether I live "here" or "there" it would make no difference to the fact that Earth is one planet and it's a small one and it had better be looked after by BOTH of us or else, BOTH of us will end up very unhappy chappies.
