Happy Easter!!

[Hadley4000]

Separation of Church and State is thrown around about government stuff. But the reality is, no matter where to go around here, you get Jesus shoved down your throat.

Dene, he CAN'T buy more underwear today. It's Easter Sunday and all the stores are closed. If he wants clean underwear, he's gonna have to wash it.

He gets 364 days this year to buy more underwear, is that not enough for him? Does he have to do it on the 2 days that he can't?
As for religiously oppressed countries, it is quite insane, yes. It's just brainwashing crap, and is suprisingly abundant even in America (although most Americans would deny it). I'm glad I live in a country that I'm not particularly fond of, I'm free from all that "standard" patriotic crap

What kind of world is this where people can start an argument just by saying "Happy Easter"? While we're at it, let's talk about politics, too. Hadley4000, Obama would be the worst president ever!

Yeah, you are right... Jesus has truly risen from the dead!

Finally, someone who agrees with me! You weren't being sarcastic, were you?

Hadley, separation of church and state doesn't (and shouldn't) prohibit anyone from practicing the religion of their choice and/or expressing themselves regarding their religious beliefs. All it means is that the government can't mandate the means by which you practice your religion.

Who would you prefer? Hilary? Dear lord no. McCain? 100 more years in Iraq and starting in Iran?
OR. A man who will END the war, get health care to those who cannot afford it, stop those damn tax breaks to the rich, and help get the money to those who need it. A man who will bring the public school system to what it needs to be, and give a $4000 grant to all students going to college.


I could go on and on and on and on. Don't get me started on Obama unless you are ready for a loooooooooooooooooooong debate. I am more pro Obama than Obama is. And have been since 3 days after he announced his candidacy. Grassroots movement!

I would also love for Obama to get presidency, but the problem is, is America ready for a black president? It would be such a drastic change, and would mark a huge changing point in American history. But America is still a very racist country. The thing that Clinton has is experience. We all know who wears the pants in her marraige, so she has effectively already been the president. What America really needs, is someone to follow on the dream of Edward Bellamy, and to have a 100% pure Communist country, with no government or state, and a cashless society..... who wants to make it happen?

 

[badmephisto]

oh god... two absolutely WORST things to talk about, Faith and Politics, combined in ONE thread! Awesome.

But look at some of her "Experience." She voted yes on the war. She was majorly in favor of NAFTA.

Also. A lot of her "Experience" was from her as a first lady. During that time, she gives herself credit for the good things that happened, but the bad stuff she overlooks. Also. Look at some people who lack "Experience." Lincoln, JFK. Neither had experience.

PLUS. There is a different between "Experience" and resume. Obama has tons of experience working in the streets with the PEOPLE. That's a big thing that it boils down to. Hilary went to the big business wallstreet stuff. Obama fought for the people as a civil rights lawyer.

Also. Yes, parts of America can be racist. But, they would prefer Obama over Hitlery. I mean Hilary

Vote for Jimi Hendrix Experience!

Well perhaps, but you need someone to run the country, not to be a "fan-favourite". I mean, with the war, it just isn't going to continue. As soon as that poo-head who's currently running your country is out, the war will be over. No one would be stupid enough to continue with it, it's too unpopular. But getting into the war here is probably not appropriate (lol, because, you know, everything else is ). As I said, I would love for Obama to get it, but it seems unlikely that, on the day, people will turn up for him. He's relying a lot on the fact that people are going to turn up on the day, which as we know, doesn't happen in America.
As for Hitler, he was an extremely intelligent man and a great leader, he just had a few problems with facism. I shouldn't go into that either, I think there are a few Germans on the forums >.<

Not quite. More like 300. Don't forget that stores are closed on Sunday and holidays, as required by federal law. Have a look at this:

Notice that's the *English* article and it uses the *German* word as title, as apparently this is unknown in the English-speaking world? I find this hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

 

[Joël]

Firstly, I must say I kinda understand Stefans point about holidays. They interfere with lives of people who don't want to have anything to do with these holidays.

On the other hand, Stefan should also realise that he's not alone in this world. If large groups of people want to have it their way, you just have to deal with it, Stefan.

Hilary went to the big business wallstreet stuff. Obama fought for the people as a civil rights lawyer.

Hmm, if one is good with rich people and the other is good with poor/average people, why don't they share the job?

What they said.

Regarding politics, none of the candidates are/were worth anything this election; Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson, Gravel, Kucinich, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Paul... Terrible candidates.

I have to get out of here.

That was an issue talked about for a long long long long LONG time here.

Hitlery. I mean Hilary, talked about possibly picking Obama as her running mate. BUT. She is constantly on him about how he doesn;t have what it takes to be a leader, and needs to be worn in a littl emore.

So what she means. He isn't experienced enough to be elected. And if HE gets it, he still won't be. But if SHE gets it, magically he will AFTER she gets it.

 

[Stefan]

Your repeated use of "Hitlery" is a really cheap shot, do you think you have to sink that low because your other arguments are too weak or why?

In the US, these would be referred to as "Blue laws" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_law

I remember growing up that Wal-Mart and K-Mart couldn't be opened on Sundays, and the toy aisle in the grocery store would be blocked off. They've now been relaxed a bit so that stores can't open before noon on Sundays, and you can buy any item in the store. So the Wal-Mart in my hometown is open 24/7 except from midnight Sunday (1 minute after 11:59 PM Saturday) to noon on Sunday.

In Minnesota, car dealershipts aren't opened on Sunday.

It's just a joke. I have a joking nickname for every person who has been in the race.

I also hate her more than any non-republican out there, and she is running the most unethical campaign out there now.

PS. If you want to discuss more politics with me AIM/MSN/PM me. I am backing of a bit on the forums, as I don't want to tick anyone off or make any enemies.
