students and teachers arent and shouldnt be free to do all manner of things permitted to them after school hours or off school property. government should not permit uncompensated use of taxpayer owned property or resources by any religious organization. Again, that is complete BS. For years
The government does not endorse, nor does it interfere with, religion You were fine until that statement. The Government, thanks to the ACLU and others, has interfered in religion. It prevents any free exercise there of during school hours, on government (tax payer funded) properties, and in any numbe
Reply By: whoman69 Posted: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 Guess what, nobody called the US stingy. Find me a link where they did. It wasn't directed at any particular "named" nation, but it was a very easily perceived swipe at the U.S., where it's perceived that we do not tax our citizens e
the immediate reactions here from the right were clear enough. how dare the UN call the US stingy. quick answer they didn't. Again, you want to play semantic games. Ok, all people that make statements like the one I quote directly above are morons. Now, have I called you a moron or haven't I?<

Truly sad, and does give insight into why you may feel as you do on some issues (as you noted). I personally detest custody fights, mostly because they never seem to be about the best interests of the children involved. I detest abusive situations even more, though it seems to be a growing problem, or at least one that has gotten more attention in recent years, in this country. Above all, I detest abuse that is taken out on i

Where have I claimed it (religion) should be mandatory? I've stated that I don't think it should be run out of the schools, and that
Dabe is usually the one. ... or Kingbee.
as to your original article, what kinda study about the effect of religion on health involving 550 people includes only 64 subjects who arent religious churchgoers? as to that question you raise, Kingbee, the answer is that for most of the world, non-religious church-goers are a small part of the soci
Kingbee - you're definitely mis-understanding what I'd like to see out of these articles, news items, issues, etc. I'd like to see more understanding, and more tolerance. Not necessarily of the Jim Jones or David Koresh types, who most people with common sense would look at and describe in un-friendly terms, but of mainstream religions and mainstream traditions. I seriously have no problem with having my kids learn about all religi

Terpfan, I understand that you're offended, but think of the rest of society. What about what offends me? I'm not trying to impose my religion's songs upon you.

Just a (linked) reminder , Conyers was one of the individuals that offered up a bill to reinstate the draft in an effort to help provide ammunition to John Kerry and other Democrats during the Presidential Election cycle.

Not that I'm recommending this, but someone should feed Mr. Conyers whatever it is that was fed to leader-elect for Ukraine, Mr. Yushchenko. ... because what's coming out of his (Conyer's) mouth has for years been every bit as a poisonous as what was apparently fed to Mr. Yushchenko.
