“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Disgusting.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Re: Who are you trying to seduce?
The ideology expressed by the marchers does not allow for any middle ground where peaceful coexistence can be negotiated. Unfortunate. Their culture needs the kind of liberalization which came from the reformation and the scientific revolution which confined the christian church and stripped it of secular power. Up until then, they were the same.
Sometimes I worry that the society we take for granted; a liberal secular democracy where religious oppression is relatively rare and freedom of thought and expression is respected is the aberration and this kind of religious fanaticism is really the norm of human society. By the numbers it is.

Re: Who are you trying to seduce?
But seriously folks...
It's depressing and disgusting, that someone can come back to their home town, and find themselves shouted down in this way...
("You look naked"...I guess we have very different views about what constitutes "naked"...)
Enormous props for the young lady who put this together; she has a lot of poise and gumption, and an excellent career ahead of her as a journalist...
Or perhaps as a politician...

Re: Who are you trying to seduce?
This young lady already has quite a reputation....
Having already confronted child slavers in The Congo and Cambodia, small wonder she isn't intimidated by this lot...
What an extraordinary number of credits for a 25 year old ...
ETA:
I just checked out a bit of a couple of editions of Stacey Dooley Investigates on YouTube...
It's easy to see why she's so effective...
She comes across as a complete cutesie pie airhead (like a Hollywood actress out on a lark) which has a disarming affect on the chauvinistic thugs she's dealt with to get her stories....
By using her ability to play the flirtatious, non-threatening smiling airhead, she has managed to do serious journalism in some of the darkest corners of the globe...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_DooleyStacey Dooley (born 9 March 1987) is a British television personality. She rose to fame in 2009 after appearing in a number of BBC Three documentaries highlighting child labour issues in developing countries.
Dooley was born in Luton, where she grew up on a council estate, and once worked as a shop assistant.[1]
Dooley first appeared on television as one of the participants on the documentary TV series Blood, Sweat and T-shirts. Dooley and the other participants were selected to illustrate the typical fashion-obsessed consumer. Thanks to her popularity on the show, partly because of her interest in third world labour laws, she was given her own show, Stacey Dooley Investigates, greenlit in August 2009. The two-part special was shown on BBC Three throughout August and September 2009. It also aired in Australia on ABC2 from 2 June 2010.[2]
In October 2010, BBC Three aired two further programmes, the first on former child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the second on sex trafficking and underage sex slavery in Cambodia. The Radio Times commented on the series, "She sees the joyless expressions of girls parading before men in a bar in Phnom Penh – one girl clutches a cuddly toy. It seems a hopeless situation, especially when we learn that the children are being betrayed by their own families. But spirited, empathetic Stacey won't be thwarted, and sees a way out via a charity that gives [the children] a new purpose in life."[3]
In 2011, BBC Three aired Tourism and the Truth: Stacey Dooley Investigates. Over two episodes, Stacey investigated how tourism in Thailand and Kenya is affecting local workers, in particular with regard to local wages, corruption and environmental changes.[4]
My Hometown Fanatics was broadcast on BBC Three on 20 February 2012. In the programme, Dooley is in Luton, where she talks to Islamists and the English Defence League. A three-part series entitled Coming Here Soon was broadcast on BBC Three in June and July 2012, in which Dooley explores the lives of young people in three countries affected by the global financial crisis, Greece, Ireland and Japan.[5]
