m: In article , Han wrote: I agree that the "prohibition" against decorations etc has gone a bit too far. Student-led prayer is a different thing, since then a majority, or even a minority, can easily become coercive. Look at a (perhaps crazy) example. If you allow that in a majority Christian/Catholic/Baptist school, you need to allow it also in a majority Jewish community, or Muslim community. I can see it already, before a public high school football game 3/4 of the students prostrate themselves facing east ... I was talking more about specific functions. For instance if the students vote to include a prayer at graduation ceremonies, which is forbidden. In many instances, they have said a person couldn't use even a biblical reference in their validictory speech. OK, as an agnostic, and father of an equally agnostic valedictorian at a public high school, I would say the following: A prayer at graduation is a no-no for me. But, words with a similar meaning without references to God or religion should be easy to find. You come up with the prayer, and I'll "translate", OK? A biblical reference, similarly, I think. I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew ... -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Which ones became Confederate soldiers and such stuff as that. |

Knew a Mexican (don't know if he was American yet, or even legal) in Chicago whose kid was a friend of one of my kids. He told me his wife was a hair-yanker and could cure just about anything. Described to me how hanks of hair on different parts of the skull controlled different parts of the body. By yanking the hanks in a controlled manner, cures were had. All voodoo to me. Don't know if he was a Catholic, never asked. --Vic |

Inheritance taxes are put in place, and rather blantantly if you listen to the people pushing them, solely to punish those who make so much money that they offend the pushers. Inheritances should be taxed by what they are. If business, then the inheritors pay the cap gains tax just like they would have if they had bought it (and get the stepped up basis). with LLC's or trusts, why would anyone place themselves in the position of being liable for inheritance taxes? Corporations don't shield an estate from estate taxes. Before the corporation changes hands, at death, they are taxed. An irrevocable trust can change hands without taxes but it has actually changed hands before the death of the originator. if the estate is a corporation how can the estate be inherited other than the normal process of shareholders/members of the corporation. If a corporation dies, it should pay taxes on the proceeds of the dissolution It would help if these were complete sentences, but an estate is not a corporation. A corporation my be owned by (in) an estate. The corporation doesn't die at the death of its owner, it's passed on to his heirs, just as stock would be. Estate taxes are paid (by the estate) on the (greatly optimistic) value of the estate when that transfer occurs. Often there isn't enough money to pay the estate taxes and the corporation goes out of business (killing those jobs too). |

If they can't finish high school, they are not ready for the workplace. Everyone of those "disabled" people has turned out to be lazy, irresponsible, and unreliable. They don't make the 30 day trial period. You should only hire occupiers who have degrees in Ancient Egyptian Literature, $100K in student loans, and live in mommy's basement. They *must* be motivated, right? Heh! Saw an interview with a visibly upset occupier. He said: "I'm a recent college graduate with a boatload of debt and I can't find a job!" Interviewer: "What was your college major?" Occupier: "I don't see how that's relevant." I saw one of those interviews. Typical leftist. |

Once you edit speech for "religious" content, is political content vary far off? You lefties really are all about controlling thought. Sorry for not making it clearer. I am saying that a statement in the form of a prayer can also be rephrased so that it isn't formally a prayer. I am NOT suggesting that something like that should become a formal censoring step. More like an evasive maneuver so that a prayer isn't a prayer anymore. On another level: In Holland, and I believe Britain too, the Queen cannot say what she wants, since as head of state she represents the "government", and the prime minister's office has to approve everything she is going to say. Up to and including whether she may were a headscarf - sorry, it's in Dutch about a state visit of the queen to Oman: http://nos.nl/koningshuis/artikel/33...ek-onderdrukt- niet.html "beatrix headscarf represses not" Something *SHE* chooses to do. BTW, there was a war fought to separate us from the Queen. Around 1848 there were revolutions going on in Europe (some more, some less violent). The then current King Willem II of Holland had an overnight epiphany to avoid a violent revolution and charged his prime minister (?) Thorbecke to rewrite the constitution. That led to the modern form of a constitutional monarchy, similar to Britain's, wherein the power to govern rests with the prime minister, subject to parliamentary support. The Queen/King has very little, if any, actual power. So (perceived) abuses of power as left and right have accused US president of, do not happen. On the other hand, cabinets fall sometimes because of petty "no confidence" motions. The changes in governing "rules" during the broad time period between 1770 and 1850 were applied with much less violence in Holland than in France or the US. The wars during the time, as far as Holland was concerned were the Napoleonic wars, and the 10 day war Holland lost to the "rebels" in Belgium. Parliament (in hindsight) approved of her reasoning, whether it really was hers, or her staff's. Rather irrelevant, (and as you accused me of, above, *way* "off topic") Sorry, it was definitely on topic as concerned with the power of the Queen. The debate was whether she should be reprimanded for "giving in" to burka-requiring rules in the Islamic world. As in France, in Holland there is a big issue whether muslim women can go around in public with heavy veiling, and if the Queen acquiesces in that sentiment when visiting a Muslim country (Oman), that is reprehensible according to the anti-burka crowd. SO the issue was did she give in to the anti-burka crowd or was she complying somewhat with local custom? As the picture shows, it was delicately, but somehat tastefully, balanced in that respect. A rather right-wing party asked questions in Parliament about the wearing of the headscarf. Beatrix is known for her elaborate head coverings ... Wow! ...just wow! ?? To me Beatrix isn't a real high fashion model ... -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |
