So tell me hotstepper, where you got that dress. The is a bathroom curtain shop round the block that sells exactly that design.

If you continue like that, you can start writing german.

Some mistakes eh. Some

Looking for the remote for hours eh. Perhaps it's in the fridge.

Not the best of looks eh. I agree with that one.

My opinion is, she ruined her chance 8 years ago. Why bother, go look for other chick. It's her fault.

Great to know that, but frankly who cares.

I tell you another thing about Democracy, I've noticed that Seun here has decided that since many Christians (and a few Muslims) are upset with the fact that the most active members on the Religion Forum are atheists and anti-religion, he feels that he needs is to have sections of the site where Christians only (or Muslims only) can commune with each other without being interrupted by unbelievers. Very democratic

I think that Democracy never actually happened, it's like a fairy tale that some want to believe

I think the Holocoust never stopped.

Democracy? Giving the power to the people by allowing them to choose who they are governed by. Great in theory, but too bad, people are idiots.

What do we get from democracy? We get the freedom to receive TRUE information on the evening news, or the newspapers, WITHOUT bias or personal opinion. Too bad we don't actually get that. We get news updates: "And tonight on *insert generic TV News show*, which hair care product is the most effective?". Evidence they don't give a flying Bleep. And quite frankly, neither doI. I mean really, who cares some kids starving in Africa, as long as it isn't us? Apathy is far more enjoyable compared to having to make a choice, or having to make a stand. This is quite simply because people don't want freedom to make changes for themselves, merely the illusion that they do. If their systems lets them put a little number next to a name, stick it in a ballot box and feel that they have made their contribution, then that's all they care about.

In addition in democracy we still have politital villians, I mean every president has lied so many times on serious subjects.

The main flaw with a dictatorship is that the leader may do something that pisses alot of people off, and you can be assured that all the bleeding heart, "I'm-so-left-wing-I-want-to-cream-my-pants", political wankers who run like scared little rabbits at the mere mention of the words "communism" or "socialism" will argue this point to the death. Perhaps they should realise that the leader in a dictatorship can be overthrown. The few of them who don't run off will most likely attempt to argue: "oh, but an uprising would mean violence", and in reply to them, a resounding "yes" will be shouted by every right wing person present. Yes, it would take violence. It would mean death. Congratulations, you now have a basic idea of politics.

Without wars the "United States of America" would still be the "not-so-united bunch of slaves to the west, with the freedom of ownership by England".

If God is all powerful, and on both Iraq's and America's sides, then why do we have a body count? Why was there a war in the first place? Perhaps God sees war as a necessary part of our lives. Or maybe he doesn't exist.

What I love about democracy is that all the little Christians in our Christian-based society who fear a dictatorship, completely ignore the fact that they are spending their lives preaching for one of the biggest dictators ever: God. How many Christians do you know who believe in a democracy, instead of being lead by God or his messengers? Hopefully not too many, or the Christians are stupider than I first thought.

And be one of those who uses one of your protestant Bible that has 10 parts of the Bible removed. No way

So you are right and everyone else is wrong. That's the main problem with you born again christians know it alls.

Ridiculuos you and your protestanism.

That was not freedom of speech. That was made to make the muslim world react. Freedom of speech is not putting those cartoons. And those reactions were out of proportion according to non-muslims. But it was not to non-muslims that they were addressed. If it was an article about some aspect of Islam I would have understood that, but for those who put the cartoons was not about freedom of speech but as a joke. Never understood the context of those cartoons. Other published those catoons too, but for me it was not a courageous thing to do, was just stupid and silly. That was why you got such commotion.

Well, if it was not for the cartoons there would have not been problems right. I don't think many people understand international relations, especially people in the media and journalists.

Perhaps, but how about the torturing of Iraqis by American troops. That is also bad right.

Muslims seem to be the only ones who really take those cartoons seriously, though. Very rude, inappropriate, disrespectful and insulting!

The cartoons were neither clever nor funny, and two of them were blatantly offensive. One depicted Muhammad himself as a terrorist, his turban transformed into a fizzing bomb; the other showed him speaking to a ragged queue of suicide bombers at heaven's gate saying "Stop, stop, we've run out of virgins." They deliberately implied that Islam is a terrorist religion, and Denmark's Muslims quite reasonably demanded an apology.

So you're one of those christians who supports those cartoons eh. Of course, I have lots of things against so called born again christians. They act as self centred attention seekers just to get more people in church because it conformed to the modern secular worls when everything goes.

At least you don't see them jumping and acting like lunatics in their mosques. And no drama about being so filled with the spirit, like those attention seeking bastards.
