True enough, established religions had been in place in some of the colonies/states, but they were not established to the point that they forbade others. That tolerance was the reason that the USA government had to be formed as secular, on the theory of rendering unto Caesar those things that are Caesar's, to get it ratified.traditionalguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706120413005530014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-29186756669709152772010-07-14T12:52:06.934-05:002010-07-14T12:52:06.934-05:00The Crack Emcee said..."Doesn't have to b...The Crack Emcee said..."Doesn't have to be - it's a narrative - you're just supposed to accept it."<br /><br />That's a crock.<br /><br />Why not research before posting your usual drivel?<br /><br />Not only did Mel Gibson lash out at his now-ex-girlfriend on January 6 and knocked out two of her front teeth and left her bruised, but he also admits he did so on a tape that has recently surfaced...but says she deserved it.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569643253261527506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-42674852542866172382010-07-14T10:46:51.645-05:002010-07-14T10:46:51.645-05:00...and then there's the fact that he brags abo......and then there's the fact that he brags about it on the tape.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179232592687721818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-2312806703408204162010-07-14T07:02:41.434-05:002010-07-14T07:02:41.434-05:00Joe,

However, I'll be the judge of what constitutes my defense against her. If a woman wants to play like a man, well, she better learn how to take it like one, but beyond that, I can't see any excuse to hit a woman. Does that make me non-normal compared to your normal or a reconstructed man? Nope, I think I just have a better tolerance threshold then you do. :DMethadrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828014989470539375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-49493137695850450672010-07-12T21:46:52.142-05:002010-07-12T21:46:52.142-05:00Dead Julius, it is clear that Mel Gibson know...Dead Julius, it is clear that Mel Gibson knows that he has many demons.

But back in 1977, at the time of his original offense, a lot of folks went to bat for him, including, astonishingly, his probation officer, Irwin Gold, father of the LA Weekly's Pulitzer prize winning food critic Johnathan Gold, who recommended that Polanski be sentenced to probation without jail time because his actions that night were "spontaneous," the teen-age girl in question was both "physically mature" and "willing," and her mother was "permissive." <br /><br />In addition, said Gold, Polanski had seen a lot of suffering in his life already. His wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson Family. Polanski's mother and father suffered horribly in the Holocaust and, given his fractured European upbringing, Polanski may not have realized that anal intercourse with a 13 year old girl was wrong.<br /><br />"Possibly not since Renaissance Italy has there been such a gathering of creative minds in one locale as there has been in Los Angeles County during the past half century," wrote Gold. "While enriching the community with their presence, they have brought with them the manners and mores of their native lands which in rare instances have been at variance with those of their adoptive land.”Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438099877519107411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-14717807783116028362010-07-12T20:17:57.094-05:002010-07-12T20:17:57.094-05:00Which leads me to the question I asked myself last...Which leads me to the question I asked myself last night: "Why do fine men like Steve fight and die to enable us to live in our self indulgent, fucked up society?"<br /><br />Lie down and pray.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17424384180201600935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-84589759495816657242010-07-12T20:14:30.166-05:002010-07-12T20:14:30.166-05:00Drip, drip, drip . . . .
