Yeh, you are a loser. Go see the world, meet people. Experience. Then come back and call me a flyover type. Boy.


world traveller I bet, you keep believing your anything but a intolerant freak there hehe

what terrorist training camps you go to? you sound like a member of the american taliban, except uglier I bet. (I seen those wanna-be lumberjack beards they grow up there) :laugh:

What are you, 16? Mentally retarded?

Do beards scare you? I dont have one but like I said. If it helps your weak little ego imagine what you like.

You are the bigot here. I have nothing against gays ( that doesnt mean I cant make fun of you wearing a dress). I have nothing against religious people, of any faith. I have nothing against people of color ( Im half mexican, my mom says mexican, we dont say hispanic)

You are the intolerant little troll here. You know nothing of life and yet you think you can run the world.

wasn't that the christians burning them? :confused:


None of the "witches" put to death in the Salem Witch trials were burned at the stake. All those executed were hanged but one, Giles Cory, who was pressed to death. Several others died in prison, including Sarah Osborne, Roger Toothaker, Lyndia Dustin, and Ann Foster

The British hung witches, there were only a handful of people burned. It just wasn't their style. The most prominent of those burned was Archbishop Thomas Cranmer.

-The French liked to burn the witches, guess they just had more wood.

The judge has the right to make sure a child is growing up in a safe, morally upright way. The judge has the right to take the child away from the parents and put him in state care. The judge was being lenient when he let the child stay with the parents, but as a man of faith, he had to try to make sure the child was not influenced dangerously.

Edit: this ruling does not necessarily conflict with the bill of rights. The courts are free to interpret the amendments how they will. It could interpreted that the bill of rights simply means that there will not be an official denomination of Christianity. I don't believe the forefathers intended it to apply to non Christians/Jews/Muslims.
YOU GOTS TO BE KIDDING ME?!?! You seriously want judges to be evaluating any/every household for a child or children to be brought up method approved by the state? The forefathers didn't leave out which religion they embraced/approved of by accident, you know. Many of them were not Christian, Jew or Muslim.
I'm going to respond to this because my point was important.
What if the parents were addicted to drugs and they were forcing the child to participate in said drug use. Would the judge be in the right to intervene then? It is our responsibility as a society to make sure children are brought up in a safe, morally upright manner. If the parents are unable to give a child that upbringing, then they shouldn't raise children.
There are already many parents allowed to do just that. In fact, encouraged. Ritalin, Adderall, Straterra(sp), just to name a few of the kids' ones.

Not believing in a dead empire's religion (whether or not it was Constantine I is still up for debate, IIRC) hardly compares.

And for the last of the thread, I am compelled to quote, with swallows carrying off coconuts: "A duck!"
