HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... dear friend the europeans had done most of the fighting anyways when the yanks dropped by.

We can thank america for helping us reduce the number of sacrifices, but we would not have succumbed without them.

However what we REALLY thank america for is the Marshall Plan. Europe would have been in the dark ages had it not been for America.

Now that we've thanked you, would you please stop bullying the planet? would you please stop being the largest polluter on the planet? Would you please sign the Kyoto Treaty? Would you please stop making nukes and destroy the ones you have? Would you please stop making secret prisons on our soil? THe SOviet threat is OVER. COuld you please pull our your troops from our borders? And PLEEEEEEEASE swtich to 220 Volts instead of 110, so i can start buying quality gadgets that will work in the rest of the world?

hear hear!

I especially dig your 220 volts reference. I agree.
We should switch to the metric system too! Makes a hell of a lot more sense.

Thank you for the clarification, hkjabwa. I knew it had been an issue in one of the Scandinavian country, but was not quite sure whether Sweden or one of the others.
Maybe hev likes the idea, but I would not want America to be like that even if we did have only a small population.

No sale, hkjabwa.
The preacher was in his own church, reading from the sacred text of his own religion.
Moreover, he was reading and speaking to people of like mind, and of the same religion.
Plus,
your reply is a straw man:
I did not say he was arrested "for having a different opinion".
I wrote that he was arrested
"for preaching in his own church the view he read in the Bible that homosexual practice is a sin"
Note,
that was in answer to hev's contention that Sweden has "free speech".
That is manifestly NEITHER free speech, nor freedom of religion.

Hevusa, I'm sure that you would be eager to do anything at all, provided Europe does it and the US doesn't.

No, as an audio engineer 110-120 volts bothers the hell out of me. Pro gear tends to be more stable at 220. Not only that but 120 volts creates the dreaded 60 cycle hum... 60Hz happens to be quite the sweet spot for the low end of a recording and often needs to be boosted in level and the hum comes right along with it! Drives me nuts.

The metric system makes a hell of a lot more sense don't you think?

You can't preach hate about homosexuals in Sweden like you can't preach hate about African Americans in America. This ensures freedom for all, not just some. We need to mature a great deal spiritually but we are heading in the right direction I think and with our cousins in England allowing civil unions I know we won't be far behind.

Or do we actually allow people in this country to stand at a pulpit and preach hate in America? Would a preacher be allowed call people "N***ers" while publically addressing his church?

depends on the type of Church.


yu mean Neggas right

BTW, that is another word that has been degraded and changed into something it's not.

Verbacide has killed the brains of the public.

why would they care
many commie countrys have it better than we have

besides who says USA is not commie now

we are

just not fully implemented

people are blind

and THEY LOVE TO HAVE IT SO



Go find you a copy of the commie planks

then THINK

you may learn something

Ur welcome dear Btw this very same gentleman ( Mogens Glistrup ) was excluded from politics as a result of a resounding defeat in the election because he said a lot of other extremely racist things. He wanted to deport all muslims and people of non-danish ethnicity. SO he was hardly a representative of the danish people. .

WHy though?

What is more important to have than 100% literacy rate, complete medical care for all citizens, free education for all citizens, assured pension for all citizens, assured child care for working mothers, booming trade, and a budget surplus?

Quite true. The problem for you is that he was not "preaching hate", for anyone. He was extrapolating on the position traditional Christians have always taken that it is a sin to practice homosexuality.
That is their belief. In a country with free speech - like you claimed Sweden has - they are allowed to articulate their beliefs.
But in countries like Sweden, Australia and Canada they are not.

Of course people are allowed to in this country; we DO have free speech and freedom of religion (although I'd hope his whole congregation would find a new church)...

You know what is so ironic here?
You people who want to ban free speech do not realize what that does:
Because of bans on free speech, people who would otherwise just be annoying and largely ignored, become unified in a subterranean way and their sentiments become much stronger - making the outbreak of physical violence more likely.
Good going, liberal thought police.
