UK 'sex on beach' trial

[Guest alex]

"Funny it doesn't work both ways though isn't it?"

 

 

Well of course it does - yer average Mullah would blow a gasket after 1 minute in C Newcastle at night

 

"When in Rome ..etc etc"

 

Well he wouldn't be doing as you say then would he.

 

Nor I suspect embracing anti-sexism legislation, nor anti-homophobia legislation, nor indeed freedom of religious belief legislation.

It's one of the reason why the UK is a much better place to live tbf. You're afforded freedoms you don't have over there. When you're in a foreign country you should be respectful of their laws and customs though, which these people were not.

 

Perhaps, but like I said funny it doesn't work both ways.

 

Although I disagree that you should always "respect" laws and customs just because they are laws and customs. Just because a lot of people believe or do something doesn't necessarily make it right or ok..... it just means a lot of people believe or do something.

 

I mean does a homosexual person suddenly become heterosexual if they visit a country where that is illegal? Or it is "ok" just so long as they don't "do" anything and or no one notices? (like being a priest)

Slightly pedantic of you there like but aye, I agree. I meant in relation to this and similar things really, i.e. don't cause obvious offence, or if you do, expect to pay the consequences. It doesn't mean I actually have respect for stoning to death adulterous women, etc.
