Morning Electrik, Kojack, Arcade and Way2)
Anyone have anything exciting going on? I just went to the tanning bed and even tho I only laid 10 mins. I look like a lobster! Electrik..was it the lotion she gave me (had to get a sample, didn't have mine--it had a bronzer in it, but mine does too) or you think new bulbs? I don't feel burnt, just look it. Not painful in the slightest. |

Not real strong in history are you skad? The Code of Hammurabi is the best-preserved ancient law code, created in 1760 BC in ancient Babylon. It was enacted by the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi. This is what our modern legal system was inherited from. Dodged a bullet on that one. 
Maybe with the crimes, but the penalties are very different. What, again, does that have to do with what I've said? Do you want to place a "Code of Hammurabi" plaque up? You have my blessing. I took Philosophy, too, dear--where this code is most in depthly studied. But..the people coming here escaping religious persecution were not following the Code of Hammurabi. They were, for the most part, Christians. Yes, they do have similarities, and I'll be the first to say that the Code is way more extensive in defining crimes than the 10 Commandments--so was British law by this time, much of it which came over with them--minus the forcing of religion by the government, something that even Christians still hold to be important. But we also adopted..and notice the second phrase of the constitution.. Government shall not prohibit religion. You're the one who said that by having the 10 Commandments placed on a wall, the judges inside were most likely following them, and I'm the one that said only a few of them were even laws we follow. Oh but! Stoning is in the Code of Hammurabi))) And can you try to take full quotes? That other crap is messy. Looks unorganized. Oh, and I've got to step out for a bit, but I'll check back in with you later) Have a great rest of the morning!

As a solstice lover, you have the freedom in America to put up anything you want, dearheart.
As a "solstice lover," I would not presume to force my beliefs on anyone else in the community. It's not forcing, it's celebrating. There's been no such case, and probably because if you're there for a crime, you either did it or you didn't, and 10 commandments have nothing to do with whether you get a fair shake or not.
Well if we did indeed observe the bible and Ten Commandments as part of our modern day legal code of conduct and legislation, then we might as well just take that Buddhist out to the parking lot and stone him right? Forget all of that "due process" malarkey. Let’s skip trial and proceed directly to stoning. #1--We don't observe all of it. Things like stealing and killing, yes. But we have no laws that govern "having no other gods before me". And #2--stoning isn't in the 10 commandments. |

So I presume you can not defend your position? Oh I can.. Just would rather do it intelligently. Doesn't matter what is said, your statements always seem out in left field. I know you're trying to make real connections, so I'll give you a break, but there's no congruency in what you're saying and it's really hard to carry on a discussion that way. As a solstice lover, you have the freedom in America to put up anything you want, dearheart. And let a Buddhist who is intimidated take it to appeals and voice that opinion, but you've pulled that, too, out of thin air. There's been no such case, and probably because if you're there for a crime, you either did it or you didn't, and 10 commandments have nothing to do with whether you get a fair shake or not. It's pure nonsense.. |

How is that forcing beliefs down someone's throat?
It is pressuring others to acknowledge your beliefs when you purposely and willfully plaster "Merry Christmas" signage in public thoroughfares that are there for the use of ALL citizens. Not everyone is a Christian, believe it or not, so why should they be forced to recognize and endure your personal beliefs? If you maintain the right to do so then shouldn’t everyone be entitled to the same justification for displaying their representations of faith? To truly accomplish this feat that would mean that the downtown areas would become virtually packed with religious icons. Is that fair to the Atheists and Agnostics who don’t observe any of it? I suppose they're demanding you believe in Santa Claus too?
What you fail to realize is there are several major holidays that are observed at the same time. The Winter Solstice or Yule which is the original Pagan festival that was adopted by the Christians and also the observance of Hanukkah. Its certainly not all about Christmas. That is but one holiday. Please, if you don't really believe, then you can't convince me that you have enough feelings about the matter to be offended.
You have no way of knowing what my personal belief system entails. I will thank you not to presume that you know what would or would not offend me. This is not about me anyway; it is about the legal ramifications of forcing your beliefs onto others that do not share your religiosity. It's a hate inspired act to restrict public displays that are not vulgar and destructive. Freedom of speech to all.
It is not a hate inspired act to instruct Christians to refrain from imposing their beliefs onto others. The words "Happy Holidays" are all inclusive. No one theology is represented to the exclusion of all others. I know that would make you happy but it wont happen. Buddhists have much the same value system as Christians.
Buddhists are NOT Christians. You failed to answer the question. Why does that not surprise me? How would you feel as a Buddhist standing trial for a crime when the Ten Commandments are plastered all over the court house? How truly objective do you feel the judge, representation of council and jury can be? Ridiculous as usual. All of it. Enough said. |

Who cares if there's a nativity displayed in the town square?
I care. You can not display a nativity scene on property designated for public use by ALL citizens. Not everyone is a Christian and it is clearly wrong for you to force your beliefs down the throats of others. If your nativity is to be prominently displayed then what of the Jewish star of David and everyone else? Shouldn’t they also be entitled to display icons of their faith? Where does it end? Who cares if the 10 commandments are on the walls of the courthouse?
I care. How would you feel as a Buddhist accused of a crime that now must stand trial in said courthouse where the 10 commandments are displayed? I imagine you would feel rather apprehensive and uncertain as to the outcome of this proceeding. A civic office and especially a county court house that has the function of disbursing justice to ALL citizens in that community can not rightfully demonstrate blatant favoritism to one religious belief or faith. How is that forcing beliefs down someone's throat? I suppose they're demanding you believe in Santa Claus too? Please, if you don't really believe, then you can't convince me that you have enough feelings about the matter to be offended. It's a hate inspired act to restrict public displays that are not vulgar and destructive. Freedom of speech to all. Buddhists have much the same value system as Christians. The only feelings that result from what you've just stated are jealousy and hate. |
