... What is the final authority on what is a deep religious icon and what is not?  Burning bibles is illegal but burning corans is ok?



Did you vote Yes in 1995?  If not you only have yourself to blame for this quagmire we remain mired in.  <_<

Mormons let all sorts of exemptions happen for athletes.

Quebec charter is essentially the same as Canada's charter.  There would be no change there.
I voted yes in 1995 and I don't regret it.  I certainly will not vote yes on another referendum though, the sovereignists act like morons.

Ah, I get it. Nutty anti-religious nonsense.
No.

Religion in private space: ok.
Religion in public space: not ok.

No prayers, no religious symbol, peace on Earth for all men of good will.  Simple.

I got it - you're all for religious freedom as long as it doesn't actually mean anything. :thumbsup:

Why is religion singled out for this?  What about Freedom of Speech?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Exactly. Sounds oddly reminiscent of some of the toleration that France had allowed the Huguenots.

It's kind of funny (meaning sad) to see Quebecois rail against multiculturalism, since multiculturalism was essentially instituted for the sake of Quebec, to explicitly disavow any attempts to assimilate the French in Canada.

Not quite.  There was a middle period of "biculturalism" back in the 60s.

I'm curious on turbans. Surely the could lead to a slight unfair advantage? Made of certain material it could aid with heading the ball, if its big enough it will give you extra reach for knock ons, etc...

No more than an afro. :huh: It's not made of leather you know.
I'm pretty sure Kwenye Jones (Stoke still I think?) once scored due to his big ass hair.

What's to say they couldn't make one out of leather?
