I don't understand why noone is claiming the end of the world ? in a different thread just read people had to pertend to pray and there was uproar now someone's being refused entry on a bus and there is little concern.. hypocriscy! (tough word to spell....)
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Being made to act out different religious practises seems a bit more intrusive. Its one thing to discriminate based on religion, but to actually make people play out other religious practises is another matter.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Fighting between catholics and protestants is sooo 17th Century.![]()

O RLY?
And to think that a bit more than a hundred years after that, a 3/4 Prussian from Mittelfranken is baptized...a Catholic.![]()
Come on grizzly lighten up , this has been the best thread for a long time .
You are right though , it does demonstrate the mental block that arises .
Story posted .
A few basic backround facts established
then none of the " But ....but its the _________ innit ... that can't be right... it shouldn't be allowed .....the facts are wrong"
But I can't believe this oppertunity was missed
It's more interesting to judge the reactions of those people who think this trifling matter is some great Amen.![]()
Along with Kashubians in Pomerelia, Silesians in the Upper Silesia and Masurs in former southern Eastern Prussia - one day we should give Bismarck an at least 5 meter high monument with a list of towns he converted for us along with one admiral and a dozen or so of generals. Great work OTTO !![]()
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

well Jag I was expecting someone to go with the Jewish education story from the same time , where the kid was told that he wasn't Jewish enough to be Jewish and go to the Jewish school , and the law said that the school was right to say the Jewish kid wasn't Jewish enough and was not legally discriminating against the jewish kid at allRonin I think you miss the thrust of what Adrian was saying when he talked about the 'Catholisation'
But I suppose the catholicisation is the safer story to run with
