Hammers should be banned...

No, they are responding to a lot of little attacks that say, basically, 'Sure, you can practice your religion, but not HERE, or THERE, or some other place because then the state is supporting it!'

In the name of separation of church and state, they want the state to be anti-church, instead of the state being neutral...

"hamilton" is a fundamentalist... fundamentally ignorant... spouts platitudes about conservatives... when it's leftists that are trying to neuter the Constitution.

How do you get to be that stupid?

I love to cook with wine.     Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I am sorry, I must have miss understood, this is NOT an amendment to the constitution:

Wrong, dumbass. The next amendment will require the immediate loss of citizenship for anyone who tries, or advocates taking away the constitutional rights spelled out by the founding fathers. Arrest & try them for treason, then deport them when they lose. Sell all their assets to help pay down the federal debt.

This is something that is sorely needed by this country.

I'm a Christian and it's painful to watch you make a total & constant fool of yourself.

Repeating myself...

I'm an atheist and it's painful for me to acknowledge that someone as stupid as "hamilton" has not already been tracked down and disposed of. Someone please do us the favor. ...Jim Thompson

I'M SORRY

You do realize that you have just advocated taking away those individuals' right of Freedom of Speech, as spelled out in the First Amendment to the Constitution?

Your proposed method of defending Constitutional rights, would itself be in conflict with existing Constitutional rights. In order to amend the Constitution with your proposal, and not immediately create an obvious conflict, your amendment would have to revoke the First Amendment. Then, if it were not for the "no ex post facto laws" rule in the Constitution, anyone who had proposed this new amendment would obviously be subject to arrest, trial, and deportation.

Sauce for the goose...

I haven't seen anything like that.

What I have seen is the administration declaring that their health- control law allows them to force people to do things against their religious beliefs.

Gee, that doesn't sound very tolerant, nor nurturing of diversity. It sounds like trying to force other people to your point of view, under color of law.

Quite some time ago, some people fled their homelands and started a new country to escape that sort of oppression.

No, I think you're a) conflating "rape or attempted rape" figures, and b) referring to the reports of college women. 4.7% actual rapes per year for the general population would be another thing completely.

I got the 91,000 for the U.S. from a different source (FBI?) originally, but cited the Wiki article as having that same information (in the U.N. table) plus the U.K. figures, providing both in one link. So, roughly 91,000 in the U.S., from two sources.

Could be. I can't vouch for the figures in either country, just tried to confirm the approximate estimates from a few sources first.

It doesn't detract from the fact that disarming women leaves them defenseless to attack.

I had this discussion yesterday with a woman--we'll call her "S"--who revealed that it had happened to her. Twice. Shocking.

Marriage isn't about religion, it's about tax credits and subsidies: society gives them to some people because it's (historically) in society's interest, and other people seek them from society because it's in their interest.

Frankly, in all the 'debate' over the years I've been rather stunned that there's been virtually no discussion of why the word "marriage" even exists.
