You know what's fucking awesome?

That's the first line of our charter, with this kind of shit it's obvious religions will get whatever they want, and religion often mean minorities (which aren't that much of minorities anymore if you ask me). |

I would really like to find out what percent minorities are in Canada. |

You mean percent out of the world wide minorities? 
Or just in Canada? If so, then 100% of Canadian minorities are in Canada. |

Then PM me. Frankly, all these posts were totally off topic from the sticky's subject. Or do you take umbrage with the way I diminished "canadian politics"? I'm not insulting canada, I'm insulting the discussion herein. |

Franz, don't divide up threads. It's better just to let a conversation run its full course. |

Normally I agree, but I made the exception because it was in a sticky. We only have three stickies in SJR, and their content is completely exclusive to this sub-forum. That's why I'm trying to keep them clean. Feel free to digress in the rest of the threads, here, just not those three. |

Okay, fine.
p.s. Someone should sticky the "Sex" thread. I would, but I think Franz would get more pleasure from doing it. |

I agree with this. Religion is often given too much leniency.

As do I. I hate to make an example of uppity middle easterners, however it's relevant to wearing religious paraphanelia that can double as a weapon.
If anyone who's also Canadian recalls when those sikhs over in british columbia got into a huge bloody slasherfest because two groups in their temple or church or whatever the heck you want to call it had a disagreement over the placement of chairs... chairs! For crying out loud.
So yeah, in their mind it totally justifies taking out their kherpan or whatever their dagger is called and cutting up one another. The problem with religious zealots is they have absolutely no concept of the rights of other people's beliefs. Which makes it easy for them to justify hacking at someone with a knife because they feel their own religious sensibilities have been offended. |

They aren't asking for the right to cut people, just wear their knives.
I still agree it's pretty fucking stupid, and shouldn't be allowed, but then, IMHO, no religious symbol should be allowed in school, except for historical/learning matters.
I'm so fucking glad christiannism classes have been cut in most schools. |

High School science teachers in some states here actually teach Creationism in Biology class along with Evolution. |

Learning Creationism would be kind of sweet, actually. Imagine your exams. Every answer would pretty much be "BECAUSE GOD MADE IT SO." |
