No when. My honest one.

And how do you know whether "she" has "got religion" or not Greatnan? You seem to know more about me than I do.

I wonder if Anne Atkins thinks a violent father is better than no father? I think she is a reactionary fool.

Who is Anne Atkins? - never heard of her!

Got your mischief hat on Jings? grin

Greatnan, wink

Bags Tue 24-Jul-12 09:38:09

Or adoptive father, even, absent.

Greatnan Tue 24-Jul-12 09:36:39

She doesn't need evidence, absent, she has religion!

Bags Tue 24-Jul-12 09:36:35

Probably because I do, jings wink. I think you might need to refine your sense of humour a bit.

What is it that makes me think that quoting that 'lady doth protest too much' line is just a cop out? Seems to me it's the religiacs who protest too much and the rest of us just take the piss.

Did she state what evidence J04? Did she explain why a biological father rather than a loving step-father?

Greatnan Tue 24-Jul-12 09:30:48

Well, that's a whole generation of boys whose fathers were killed in two world wars damned.
Jingle, you appear to be spoiling for a fight - chill out, woman!

And how long does it take you to find these second rate web sites? grin

JO4 Tue 24-Jul-12 09:28:13

Why is it Bags that so many of your posts make me think of the line "methinks the lady doth protest too much"? confused

JO4 Tue 24-Jul-12 09:26:46

Oh, I usually agree about Ann Atkins, but today I woke up halfway through the item and caught a line which I was surprised, and happy (tbh), to hear someone actually state.

It was that there is evidence to show that boys who are brought up without their biological fathers are more inclined to aggression and she might have said, criminality.

Yes. good thing to put across.

Greatnan Tue 24-Jul-12 08:43:39

Bags - I have it on my Favourites from the first time you told me about it!

Anne Atkins is a loathsome woman. Don't understand why she is constantly wheeled out to tut at the world.

Bags Tue 24-Jul-12 07:56:04

Go straight to Platitude of the Day for antidote.

Greatnan Tue 24-Jul-12 07:50:14

Why is this woman allowed to lecture us on Thought for the Day? She is so damned patronising and her only qualifications appears to be that she is married to a vicar. Her voice makes me want to scream.
