  1. Is that including R&D, machine tooling and factory setup costs too?
  2. Ask when the manager will be in, then return and speak to him.
  3. Most likely it uses hidden APIs that Apple don't allow you to access under the Apple Developer License. Such as taking a picture and accessing GPS after failing to enter a PIN.
  4. Cameron’s backed him, a cast iron guarantee of guilt.
  5. In the bible, Hebrew has no neutral gender, God is about as male as a ship is female.
  6. Doubt it has a name, but After Eight mints.
  7. Israel is a secular state. And they poke fun at the clerical side Orthodoxy.
  8. This pretty much sums up this whole fiasco. Heres the interesting thing, if a French magazine was to publish anti Jewish cartoons that ridiculed rabbi's and Moses then it would be classed as anti Semitic and the publisher forced to retract the images as well as face legal repercussions.
  9. Thats the whole point you don't. Other people do. And they can accept and abide by the fact it's a clash of two vastly different cultures. One believes that the 'freedom of expression' is a fundamental right and another believes that the mockery of their religious figurehead is unacceptable under any circumstances punishable in severest manner. And why do they have to accept our right to free speech? All thats happening is the cartoons are provoking a belligerent set of individuals - claiming it as 'free speech'. It's ridiculously unnecessary and worst of all dangerous.
  10. We? How are you fighting against them, you are not in facing the enemy. It's funny how people defend free speech, and that it's worth dying for, but never put themselves on the front line. I don't see people jumping to defend the rights of Anti-semites publishing Holocaust denial material in Canada, if you do, you'd be arrested and charged with a hate crime. This whole cartoon business is like poking a violent animal with a long pointy stick, then sitting back with satisfaction when it reacts. If you want Muslims to respect your right to publish things, then it's by dialogue, education and respect not by insulting them and constant prodding. They aren't going to change over night and insulting them and their prophet isn't going to help either.
  11. But the thing is tho, they are putting peoples lives at risk, they don't have to deal with the consequences of protests , im not saying the reaction to these articles is acceptable. But it is certainly inevitable. But this doesn't seem to concern the people that publish this rubbish
  12. Eh? Marriage has existed outside of biblical influence and Christianity for far longer than it has existed within. And even within Christian societies the role of religion within a marriage was actually something the church had to impose as its influence grew. For a long time early Christian societies saw marriage as a private affair. It wasn't until the 1600s that the Church's permission was required to get married. The Church then interfered in numerous ways in defining marriage requirements.
  13. Marriage is not owned by religion. It is a legal and social agreement. The sin argument doesn't cut it, I'm well.. it's complicated, but it's not Christian, and that is a sin... probably a bigger sin than being gay. And worshipping a non-Christian God is a huge sin as well. So if they are against gay marriage because 'it's a sin', then logically they have to be against atheist marriage and marriages in non-Christian religions.
  14. They are bigots, and he should have stuck with the word, there are no argument for preventing gay marriage that do not also prevent other groups from marrying. People presenting arguments against tend to gloss over these other groups that their argument affects, and solely focus on homosexuals shows they are just anti-gay for their own reasons, and the arguments have nothing to do with it.
  15. I can't speak for Islam, but in Judaism God said it has to be done on the 8 day, that doesn't allow for a child reach the point of consent or decision. Regardless of my personal view, that is what Judaism states, and enforcing waiting till a child reaches that point where they can decide would be stopping the parents practicing their religion. But for the reason above, the parents wouldn't.
  16. Put the crucial bit on bold for you. Jewish and Muslim parents have a right to practice their religion, that includes the right to arrange for the circumcision of their sons in accordance with the tenets of each respective religion. If you want to impose any limitation on their free practice of religion - find it in law. Otherwise it comes back to the first point I made: "Like it or not this is moral relativism at it's best, what you view as barbaric and mutilation, Jews and Muslims see the practice as essential and normal."
  17. They don't force, it's parental consent. They are not forcing the child to do anything, like it or not, the child hasn't been asked nor does he need to be. And yes, it would be breaching Article 9 of the Human Rights Act. Seeing how in Judaism circumcision is a commandment from God, preventing it surely would stopping people from practicing their religion.
  18. I doubt it could be banned in the EU too, forcing people to do something against their faith seems be a breach of human rights.
  19. There is some probably open in a tab somewhere right now.
  20. When the eyes turn milky/white.
