@Gaythia The FDA are the guys who have made weed, literally a plant that has no dangerous properties of any kind, illegal... Yea sorry but overrulling the FDA is exactly what I WANT the courts to do, ideally more often not less.. In fact I wouldnt mind abolishing the FDA all together they have an abusive and oppressive history IMO.
@SETIEric I agree, any such law should be religion neutral. Let anyone blasy whatever they want over loud speakers if you wanna go this route... or deny it to all.
@SETIEric Thry mean something very slecific that you might not have expiernced if you havent been to muslim countries.

There are churches, no real strong prejudice in the work place, and orthodox jews are quite friendly... but it is a jewish first country.
christianity is well tolerated there... but since we gave them Israel after WWII it has been a jewish-first state and the preferential treatment of the jewish religion is very much intentional and encoded into their laws.

you would probably be among a rather large group of preechers (protesters) :) The protests even with it just being suggested has been insane... thought hey are protesting a lot of things that are shady lately, not just that.
@indie1337@vivaldi.net
Well it was, in fact, the majority lead government... so it is a legitimate concern that they did that at all.. Point is, in practice, no one in the streets is really supporting it.

I live in Israel right now. I can confirm christians are not being persecuted, but there was a bill attempted that would persecute them... bur when that bill was even attempted everyone protested... long story short, if you are a christian you;d be perfectly fine there... Muslims are far more at risk really.
The center of Amsterdam is full of fossils if you look down. Much of the pavement border is Kilkenny Limestone which was rich in Carboniferous fossils. This includes brachiopods, snails, coral, sea lilies from 300 Million years ago. #fossils #amsterdam #urbangeology
@thor fair i can see that. Though context should make that one obvious.
Yea i just cant think of a way to make it ambiguous without having an improper sentance
@thor id be curious to have an example of a sentance where read is ambiguous.

@admitsWrongIfProven @Pat @crackurbones
