I'd also like to add to your list of Viking peoples: the Normans. Although British people were taught that they were invaded by "the French", the Normans (and William the Conqueror) were actually Vikings who'd only been in France for a couple of generations or so. I wish this was taught in British schools - because it's true.

Thanks, I get the reference now. Living as I do in a country where it is illegal to collect "racial" data, let alone use it for statistics, this is even weirder for me. It's a hangover from "scientific racism". Ridiculous and horrible.

Not entirely true: my wife is half-Jewish (her Dad, so she's not "full" Jewish). They rejected the religion about 4 generations ago. My children are also part-Jewish. Is ther something I didn't understand here (i.e. an American joke)?

I get most of my morals and ethics from the people who have gone before me, just like most people. Human beings have been thinking about these things for thousands of years and continue to do so. The thing about religions is, they believe the thinking has been done and their ethics therefore stagnate and even crystallize.

"The opposite of hate isn't love. It isn't even empathy. The opposite is understanding." That's brilliant, D&D. Thank you.

I'm 63. I've never known or met anyone trans, as far as I know, which makes me think that the "moralizers" are making a lot of fuss about an issue which, while very important for the individuals personally involved, is marginal to extremely rare in general terms - and therefore unlikely to represent a threat, even if you believe their paranoia. These people feed off scapegoats, they nee

They're both teams that play attractive, exciting rugby, which is sadly not the case of the current England setup.
