These churches are buildings inherited by local towns and villages, it's part of the "patrimoine". Why are they still ruled by the Catholic church, then? -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

France, the culture wars over head scarves
Earl Evleth a écrit :
France has a list of names which you can give you children, yes. No, not anymore. That law was changed at the beginning of the 90's. It was replaced by a "reverse" law: You can give any name you wish to a child, but it must not expose that child to ridicule (so that really offensive names, or ridiculous ones, can be refused by the State).

Padraig Breathnach writes: Implicit advocacy of hatred. Implicit, or inferred? Implicit. And why is advocacy of hatred unacceptable? Because you don't like it? Because it is bad for society. And I am a social being; I even enjoy dining with others. Some people might feel the same way about the advocacy of a particular religion "implied" by religious garb. They cannot justify it if the religious belief is not based on or particularly supportive of hatred. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED |

Implicit. That is only your inference. Because it is bad for society. Do you hate the KKK and Nazis? They cannot justify it if the religious belief is not based on or particularly supportive of hatred. They can't justify it to you; but you don't seem to have any objective arguments in favor of your position, which apparently varies greatly depending on your subjective opinion. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
