My thing is lower it but apply it to all transactions like stock trades.

is that as profitable as search?

so like now our you being served is going to have an r rating or something? how about klinger in a dress in mash? or like monty python drag. are poof jokes ok just not actual poofs.

thats what I mean. If they actually do that it really shows they mean business (I know an ironic turn of phrase in this instance) when it comes to their policies. I get a little doubtful about vpns but if they leave the canadian market do to this law it would show they stand by what they say.

Yeah I remember the days when I thought we were third world because of our lack of universal healthcare. then the unmarked and masked militia started randomly grabbing and killing people on the streets.

honestly if they have to move countries due to the bill its like the best advertisement ever.

wait wait wait wait. Congess passed a law requireing ice to wear masks and not have id???

Yeah I just disagree here and would not want it. Part of it is hey its great your making calls from the hip but the fact is its all debateable. Most buddhist temples could easily reshingle as yoga or tai chi studios and just lean heavily on the philosophy. I mean if you meet someone really into either. To the point they teach. Its almost impossible to not take on the philosophy around it and talk about it in classes. Honestly even in most martial arts you have a lot of this. Not to mention im not going to hamstring their ability to do good works. soup kitchens and such. im not going to have them shutdown because they are run by a church and have a prayer before a meal. The whole thing is kinda creepy to me. I invite some friends over and now I might run fowl of some public space law even though its my property. Yeah I mean you could give me all sorts of examples but I just disagree its such and easy clear cut thing to do and even it if it was I don’t think I agree its a good thing to do. If such a thing where being pushed in societ despite being athiest now I would stand with the church group to protect their right to have their houses of worship. Again tax wise I can see getting rid of special privlege, not allowing it in public property sure, but some sort of state erradication is to orwellian for me.

Yeah im sorry but I just can’t condone laws that say you can’t do something if your reason is X but if its Y its fine. Its not a public space its a private space open to the public. That is a vastly different thing. Its not federally funded (directly). Again I am totally fine with taking away the tax breaks and have they run as any other charity and following the same rules. honestly im not sure we should even have tax breaks for charity. Tax should be progressive for businesses the same as individuals (welll we actually need that to be more progressive to) with making larger amounts putting them into blocks that have a higher rate. Again though I really don’t think its so easy to say something is a religion. Yoga has all sorts of religious roots and philosphy spawned from it. Illegal? What about shriners? Or everyones favorite masons? Are religions that are not open to the public ok then? Its just not something I would like to see in a society. If people want to be religious I think they should be able to do anything someone can do in a non religious way. ie clubs and such.

one.

Those buildings are private. They are not public structures. Some of them are not xstian so the teachings of jc don’t matter to them and the majority of other xstians just pick and choose what they like anyway. My point is banning is one not so easy especially since you are basically saying if you social group meets a vague criteria we will go after you and two generally does not work at stopping the thing you want to stop. There is all sorts of things we could do that very much falls short of that. No special tax status, not allowing it in public places like public schools and city halls and libraries and such.

Oh I realize that. I mean people do buy white castels and bk though so if the price is the same. why not.

criminals being charged with crimes? Whats happening to this country?! Next thing you will tell me they are white.

I don’t think they go beyone expecations (yes I know the names of the prodcuts) but I will say this. Both white castle and burger king had the options at the same price at times and in those cases the plant based on option was as good or better than the meat option.

unfortunately I feel this is going to be like cell phones. Like I super want it but its likely going to be done in some trumped up manner that makes it undesirable.

Thats kinda redic. Are you banning all group gatherings. Is it the clubhouses we ban or are we just banning it if it fits some definition of religion. I mean we all know banning alchohol caused the human race to stop doing that. Its well known christianity itself was banned at one point in rome and I believe various countries have banned various religions. Banning is not as a good a solution as people think it is because they someone think it will of course get 100% compliance and everyone will wake up and believe like the banee thinkgs they will. It never happens like that.

if you want really eww see the us coupling.

its doubtful that religion of some sort goes away completely. I would like it if humanity could stop making up reasons to be dicks though.

Kinda funny because I thought it was the opposite.

The left does not want religion gone. Some athiests do and another chunk would not mind if it did but that is not the entirety of athiests or the left. Now The large majority want freedom from religion which means it keeps its things with its followers at their private places and does not throw it into the public square (which ironically goes with some of jesus’s teaching and should be supported by christians) . That is about god exists believe X, Y, Z, and not about preferential ways of govenoring or how how society works… As you say working toward a society with robust social safety nets and common sense social welfare is just something non hypocrite christians should be doing.
