Allowing for the fact there is always at least one idiot who wants to try and stir up trouble whenever possible by disagreeing just for the sake of it, how about a thread in which we see if we have a consensus on whatever issue? I'd like us to cover a great many subjects, some may lead to argument due to political or religious leanings, I guess others will be supported by all, e.g. that the abuse of children should be criminal.
Having close friends who don't share my views on matters of political party, Brexit, abortion etc. but with whom I share a huge number of other beliefs, I genuinely believe that we have far more that we will agree upon than disagree upon. It makes sense to begin with first principles and to work up from them. So, for a start...
I think that there have to be laws binding a society which reflect the morality within it and which, because of that, allow for that society to function properly. And that those laws should apply to all within society, and that they should be made by people chosen and removable by that society.
Anyone want to go against that, or can we move on to what those laws should be?
