Mobile Phones on a Flat Earth


So some Muslims are against their kids being given compulsory relationship lessons that include LGBT issues and want to be treated as a special case because of their religion.

What if some Flat Earthers don't want their kids taught geography and the fact the world is a globe because of their beliefs? There was a time when the Catholic church forbade the teaching of heliocentrism.


Get religion out of education. 

Yesterday morning I drove up to a light controlled pedestrian crossing where a woman was intently staring at her mobile phone - so intently that she missed the fact she could cross. Just as she noticed the lights changed again and she'd missed her opportunity.

Further along there was a set of traffic lights at a junction. A kid was wandering across diagonally with not a shred of attention, being welded to his mobile phone. The lights changed when he was only half way across and he hadn't noticed. He was dicing with death.
