Also, was it a "purity" ring or some kind of LUG ring?
We NEED all the hot and sweaty details in the post, not in some pauncy link.
Or not. :devilish:
The "purity rings" are just a fad, the only thing linking them to the christian faith is that it is a christian fad.
The fact that you can label a part of soemones faith a fad, does not detract from the fact that this is discrimination.
You do realize that not everyone who calls him or herself a "Christian" takes the faith seriously, right? In some places, like the southeastern US for example, there are lots of people who apparently call themselves Christian just to be part of the "awesome goody group", or just hide the fact that they are homosexuals.Quote:

In what way is this discrimination?Quote:

There must still be people who don't know that they can read a topic's start by holding the mouse over the topic space for a while - Or they just see the title and feel the subconscious urge to click :laugh4:Quote:

I'm disappointed this thread hasn't elicited any response from Kukri and co so far.
The other thread from 3 weeks ago, on the topic, for those interested.
Topic title adjusted.
Now it sounds pornographic. :laugh4:Quote:

Meh, the title is still misleading. I was expecting some good sleaze instead of a lame story about goody two-shoes and the bad judge. I mean come on, this is the age when girls named Bambi get breast jobs for their sixteenth birthday. :coffeenews:
At first I thought- 'fair enough' when I read this.Quote:

Then I thought- ah screw em (or not as the case may be :laugh4: ) religious iconography of any sort should have no place in the classroom.
This ramble was brought to you by my indecisive brain, the number 3 and the ?.
Thank you.
Personally, I'm learning to heed my own advice. It's not for me to tell the British how to enforce dress codes at their public (private) schools. I will simply state that I am thankful that religious displays aren't banned in American schools unless they can be proven to be an integral part of one's religious practice.
This isn't anything to do with a ban on religious displays in schools. The school has a no jewellry policy, according to the article-and the court has ruled religious jewellery isn't exempt from this. Good decision, to my mind. Although they seem to have made it for the wrong reasons, judging by the stuff about other violations being involved as they form an 'integral part' of faiths.
Hell, we still have a totally anachronistic legally mandated session of led prayer a day. Although most schools ignore it.

You should have seen the title before Spoilsport Kukri changed it. Hint: look at the earlier replies.Quote:
