Federal Judge Prohibits Prayer at Texas Graduation Ceremony

I see no trolling that took place.

Then you're looking for trolls in all the wrong places.

You post messages that insult not only the honesty of members of this forum, but your argumentative posts attack their integrity as well.

Really?  Christianity is the same as Islam?

Not even on the same level. Not even close. One is stuck back in the 15th century. I'll let you guess which one.

You got that right Trueblood... If a Christian women commits adultery, her husband will divorce her. If a muslim woman commits adultery, a whipping is the least of her problems. I just read Princess(Jeanne Bassett), ..the story of one of the princesses of the Al Saud family. Shadow Princess(Iris Sundhansen(sp)?) The grandaughter of Emperor Jahangir(India) and the movie The Stoning of Soryana(and she was innocent!!!). It's unbelievable what these women go thru...

Yes it is. They treat their dogs better than their women.
(And to think that sharia law was on one of the ballot questions here in America during the November elections? Was that for real? I thought I read it or heard about it somewhere, can't remember where. I can't even fathom that would even be thought of being on a ballot here in America. We have AMERICAN laws, **** those throwback laws.)

Yes, it was voted on in Oklahoma, and passed by 70% of the voters.  It was promptly banned by a Federal judge as a hate crime or support of Christianity or some such hogwash, thanks to a lawsuit by an out-of-state Muslim with CAIR backing.  I can't find any info about what's going on with it now.

Thanks for the info.
WOW, it passed?!? WTF were these people thinking? If some of these idiots actually knew what they were voting for and what is actually going on in the world, they would be frightened. I'd say at least half of the population in America has no clue. Scary stuff.

The law in OK was to make illegal any consideration of foreign law by judges when considering cases, especially sharia.  It was anti-sharia.

I merely wonder what folk are so scared of. Do they think that somebody murmering a few words is suddenly going to force them to become Christians?

Oh, no, it's much worse than that.  Seeing the Ten Commandments, a cross, a nativity, or even a Christmas tree can suddenly propel some atheists and their children directly into Christianity.  Setting foot in a Christian church or having a Bible touch them is even more dangerous.  It's like a lethal virus...one minute the atheist and children are all happily certain that God could never exist, the next they are rolling on the floor, speaking in tongues.  It's almost like the effect that crosses had on vampires in the old movies...or maybe the effect that the sun had on them...


 

[seahorse513]

The problem is , so many atheists are hypocrits. One example i can't remeber the exact wording, but in another forum, this woman proclaimed she was an atheist, but yet they still celebrated the "holi"days" for a person she took care of, who has a disability and for her son, growing up.  When I went on to explain the symbolism of gift giving, she tried to wriggle out of that too...
Either you believe in God or you don't

I think the root of the problem here is that this is a Public School paid for with tax dollars.

By sending their kids to public school, they have accepted socialism, and are sliding down that slippery slope of government control.

If these people weren't such leaches, they would send their kids to a good Private School like all intelligent bipeds do.

It is generally considered good forum manners to introduce one's self in the welcome forum.

You do know that not everyone can afford a good private school right?

How are they "leaches"? It's THEIR money too, jackass.

I'll get around to that soon.

How does not being able to afford something justify stealing money from other people to pay for it?

[JJ_Frankenbeanz]

A small percentage of it, maybe..

The vast majority of tax dollars comes from a small minority of overtaxed wealthy folks.

You should be aware of this by now.

[Splashdown]

Public School funds are attached to property taxes in PA, which I pay too much of.

Where the hell are you getting "stealing" from?  What theft is taking place, by whom?

[rich_t]

Which is why I vote NO on every school levy that hits the ballot.

The government is stealing money in the form of taxes to pay for the public (socialist) school system.

Just because you feel like you're paying "too much", doesn't mean that you're paying your fair share.

Since the wealth gap is even larger than the income gap, the majority of property taxes are paid by the upper class as well.

Um, my taxes go to my district. Not many whale-on-the-pants blue bloods in this district, bud.

I agree with you to a point that public schools suck and don't do the job we pay for. Hence, my kids go to Catholic School. So I'm paying twice.

Other than that, wtf is your point? Only Rich people should get a say in public schools?

I have no idea what your point is, here.

[JJ_Frankenbeanz]

My point is that public schools are socialism, and should be gotten rid of.

These people sent their kids to a socialist school, what did they expect to happen?

Until the NEA, there was no problem with public schools.  The problem arose when the public schools became an arm of the government instead of remaining the property of the local community. 

Everyone that lives in a community benefits from the local school, though less now than when we had full ownership...and less than we benefit from private schools.  Still, the fact remains that, without them, a large percentage of children would learn nothing...making it impossible for them to become productive citizens someday, making far more of them a continual drag on the resources of those that are educated and those that work hard.

You should take some lessons on how to be a better internet dickhead, kid, you are way too obvious.
