Thank you Mark for your understanding and non biased opinions - we need to be able to discuss things calmy and rationally in this way if we are ever to be able to coexist on this tiny planet.

Anger, insults and deliberate provocations never achieved anything other than hate. We all have our opinions, it would be a very boring world if everyone thought the same way. Freedom of speech in my opinion is the right to express our different opinions without deliberately offending others.

I wish more people were openminded on this forum and less prone to flaming and turning this into a meaningless mud flinging debate. To tell you the truth I have ceased to reply to people who are trying to flame this discussion, in my opinion it's unproductive and a total waste of time for me to reply to them.

God bless you and everyone who is seeking peace and to resume their daily lives without turning this world into a worse place than it has become.
