Now for my money, you can't give people religious freedom and then moan when they exercise their right. Personally I disagree with this but it's what this particular version of Christianity preaches so they have to be allowed to practise it too, don't they?

That's why I tend to retract from religion in all its forms. I never understood why some religions ( if not all ) take a moderate approach to a topic but then deny a basic right to others

That reminds me of one of my favourite jokes.

A Welshman is stranded on a desert island.

Years later he is rescued and his rescuers see that he had built two identical chapels out of wood answers bananas leaves.

Surprised at this they ask him why he’s built two identical chapels.

He points at the first and says “That's the one I go to” then points at the second and says “Thats the one I don’t”.

(I think it’s funny anyway) 🤣

As I keep saying they are living in the dark ages in England, state religion, unelected lords, a Monarchy, strange nonsensical laws, it's just medieval how the English operate.

So you don't really want somene from t Welsh Royal house ruling Wales then?

Do yoy agree with the speed limit changes, the tourist tax, the closing down of developing infrastructure, giving kids the vote and the change in the voting rules?

There's plenty of Welsh in the HoL too.

Is there anything more medieval than the state forcing things on people wthout any democratic mandate?

I'm a Republican, but if we don't have a Republic and have a Monarchy then I would prefer a bona fide Welsh/British one and not the Germanic/English we currently have.

Nothing wrong with 20 mph outside schools, care homes for the elderly, hospitals etc, nothing wrong with a tourist tax (lots of places across the World I've been to have it), be careful about spending on infrastructure in Swansea, Cardiff, Newport when others places might need it first, don't see a problem in 16 year olds having the vote.

Welsh Labour have a mandate in Wales (everybody has the opportunity to vote just like in Westminster elections).

Oscar Pistorius?

I don't remember anybody being murdered in the name of atheism but plenty of murders are committed by people defending their religion, or so they have claimed. Obviously atheists do kill people, just not in the name of atheism.

Does OJ Simpson , probably not , he's supposed to be a devout Christian who apparently led a Baptist prayer group in prison, mentored inmates and coached sports teams.

I have seriously been asked several times to write a boot and ran through the technicalities with Keith.
I did make a start but find I don’t have the concentration . Frankly,much of my childhood was smothered with angst and I was a difficult young chap .

Chapels featureclarge and in all the wrong ways. If I had my way, I would have burned them all to the ground circa 1965. It was I accept my father s overpowering Evangelical zeal that turned me inside out with contempt for basically all religion

I have had a decent life on the whole and was saved by my present wife ,who was ,is and always will be deep in my soul .

Finally,my old fella born again or not had the worst vicious temper of any man I’ve known,not violent but cruel Mentally . His dad was another with a sharp temper and I inherited the worst from them.

Btw,they spoke Welsh ,had Welsh bibles and hated Rome

Welsh labour have a mandatr to run the country yes, I;m not arguing that they won the eletin even if it was ony with 20% of the possible votes. What I'm saying is they are doing a lot of things it seems the vast majority disgreee with.

There ws an uproar against the 20mph though obviusly in certain places it just makes sense, votes for kids doesn't seem popular and I don't personally know anybody who isn't against their decision on the M4 relief road. The tourist tax, everything I've seen on the news says business is against it. The decision to expand the Senedd and to change the voting system should be put to referenda. It's for the people to decide such massive changes.

I'm basically a Republican too, I disagree with monarchy at the most basic level.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Why not give the votes to 9 year olds or even younger.

I think voting should be restricted to adults who have life experience, pay tax so they can make an informed vote.

Why do we have 50 mph speed limits on motorways, dual carriageways even on brand new roads like the A465 which is lower than the speed limit on the single carriageway it replaced. Why build new roads that are slower than the old roads they replace?

We don't allow under 18's to drink alcohol yet we allow them to vote? There's a very good reason for it, your average 16 year old isn't responsible enough to be given such a massive choice.
Personally I think there's a valid argument for icreasing the voting age to 21. At 18 I was very anti tory and very pro independence but I know now that back then I knew absolutely nothing, I voted but in sheer ignorance of pretty much all of it. I know a lot more now but there's still a lot I don't know.
