Making School led prayer IS establishing a national religion. It is encroaching on one's freedom not to participate in religion since School is mandatory.
If people want to pray on their own, knock yourself out. Give students 5 mins before homeroom to either prayer or talk to their friends. *snickers* wonder how many kids would voluntarily do it. But don't make religion mandatory.
Separation of Church and State and the denouncement of School led prayer is a line in the stand to cut off "Mandatory" participation in school prayer, which is Christian based, and offensive to non-Christians to be forced to participate since School is mandatory. It's another attempt by right-winged Taliban wannabe's to brainwash American Youth into the Myth of Christianity.
I used to get hell in school when I refused to participate in school prayer or "wasn't reciting" it loud enough to be added to the voice of the class.
Fascism comes in all flavors, even cult led. Especially Cult led.
Uhm, you realize the crazy things that US, CND, OZ, Britain, etc. are the things that distinguish them from the Middle East and the East. This is simply another thing the East and Middle East look down the West on.
I get your point...but there were multiple nations on earth "Chosen by God".
Britannia felt they were chosen by God. Romans felt they were chosen by God. Hell most of the ancient world thought they were chosen by God. Japanese felt they were chosen by God. Chinese felt they were chosen by God.
But to your point, both Muslims and Jewish nations felt they were uniquely chosen by God. Which one are you referring to?
We should divide the country back as the civil war tried. If you look at the presidential elections, there's a decent separation. Northeast and West are heavily democratic. The middle and the bible belt as it is put, is heavily Republican.
I'm sure the "Confederate" states would support what Texas is doing now, and the people complaining are the "Union" states. There are so many laws that keep floundering on party lines, which is state lines.
Also give Hawaii back to the natives and not worry about a provincial halfway across the globe.
Except the Liberal's aren't trying to rewrite history with crazy cult ideas like these and are at least trying to be as close to fact and reality as people remember them.
"a belief in America as a nation chosen by God as a beacon to the world" "sidelining Thomas Jefferson, who favoured separation of church and state" "suggestion that the anti-communist witch-hunt by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s may have been justified"
You know who also had crazy cult like ideas similar to these? Nazi and KKK and the Ori from the fictional Stargate Universe.
My biggest problem is the first crazy statement that justifies the US aggressive intervention into every other country and to push Christianity to them or kill them.
Yes...but Coal, Gas, and Petroleum act based on greed and selfishness, which is an acceptable American virtue and something that can be understood. The way they manipulate the system takes intelligence and can be respected.
Anti-nuke Hippies however act on foolish and stupid motivations, trying to push us back into pre-industrial age and use emotion as their weapon. That's far less respectable.
We need vast amounts of energy to feed our growing energy hunger, and we need to supply it somehow. Properly managed nuclear energy is definitely a better long term solution than wind, hydro, oil, solar, coal, and natural gas as a primary source. Wind, Hydro, and Solar don't have the massive power generation that Nuclear power has. They'd be nice supplementary energy though.
One thing bothers me about electric cars. If everyone has an electric car. What would we do? Electric re-gas stations with huge power conduit to them? Or revamp the entire electrical grid so each home would get enough amperage to handle it? Do we have brownouts now because the grid can't handle the load, or the power source can't produce enough.
The scary thing about a democrat appointed Supreme Court Justice is that they tend to be tech savvy enough to have sold out to tech-related companies.
Republicans fight about mundane thing like abortion or gun rights or religion.
Democrats fight about things like new technology taking away our rights.
I don't know what would be worse. The general population might understand the more mundane things than technology things, and therefore easier to incite to cry foul.
Since when is News for Nerds, limited to just technology? You might be a "technology" centric nerd, but there are other nerds out there. There are Sci-Fi Fantasy nerds. There are nerds of sciences other than Technology, like Psychology and Sociology...

Money can buy you a revolving door of hot supermodel class trophy wives and mistresses. Money can buy you all the cars, boats, planes you want to go anywhere you want. Money can buy you all the pretty things to look at and fun toys to play with. Money can give you power and render revenge against your enemies. Money can let you mess with people's lives and livelihood for your own perverse amusement. Money can buy you a sense of charity and phony philanthropy. Money can make a type of people be nice to you, suck up to you, be blithering idiots and servants around you. Money can buy people's convincingly feigned love and adoration.
People who say money can't buy happiness are either jealous and spiteful or the type that can't be satisfied with what they have and simply want what they can't have, creating a paradox of emotions.
Not to mention IT puts you in a position to hear and see alot of confidential things that your pay grade shouldn't. The field requires a certain level of professionalism that you keep things to yourself unless there's a good reason not to. It also helps to understand how upper management feels about rules, are the rules strict and they will follow through zero tolerance, or is it something they just say but don't want to know about breakages.
In the end, just got to use best judgment and like others say, make sure YOU'RE not breaking any laws and papertrails are good.
Uhm....the US has a vote of no confidence too. Unfortunately the only time in my lifetime that was exercised was over some sexual scandal and not say.....traitorous actions like Bush.
It's like the easy girl in town. Sure everyone's had a go at her and you wouldn't want to introduce her to your friends, but she's good for a one nighter or two
Relatives of cops that I know of often behave without restraint of the road because they know they can "get out of tickets" by dropping a name. It's ridiculous.
Cop: license and registration Person: What's the problem officer? Cop: You ran a stop sign. Person: oh here Cop:.....are you related to? Person: yes i am Cop: oh i'll just let you off with a warning Person: is a warning really necessary Cop: yeah because someone saw me pull you over Person: but they won't know.
At the end the person got a warning and comes to the rest of us complaining that the cop didn't let her off scot free.

A God by any other name is still a God.
My Catholic Church kindly reminds the parishioners, "You have missed your weekly tithing, please be sure to next week" or something like that.
After that, I felt heavily the corruption of the church.

As Mao Tse Tung said, Religion is poison.
I think....the ignorant and short sighted people will start burning the books for fuel, and tearing down libraries and factories.
Hey if natural selection hasn't weeded out overweight geeks, nerds, dweebs, others yet.......I blame society.
How many of those species have an impact in our supermarkets? That's the point where people should start caring.

Uhm, you realize there are people out there that know they have an STD and deliberately spread it?

Since when are Poly Sci not considered nerds? Granted politics in general show a stereotypical lack of intelligence, it's not like it's Theology.
Yes I'm serious, and having things that they want makes people happy...
How would you define happiness? Not having things that you want?
I don't know about that....

How did he get into office then?
Are you running it as Administrator?
Had a few troubles but it wasn't limited to just me. But now it's working just fine.
The aggressive player who pressures and expands can overcome good perfect openers, trust me.
