Wow. Someone should ban this fool. Seriously... picking a fight like this then running off because he doesn't wanna debate his opinion? If you weren't interested in sticking around to debate because of the liberal slant of this board, shpankey, you should have kept your fucking mouth shut.
Now comes the problem. When you look at it and say that you want to display the 10 commandments, its fine for you and the rest of the majority. But america isn't about the majority. America is about the rule of the majority while respecting the rights of the minority. While the minority may be only 10% of the people in this country who are really, truly bothered by those 10 Commandments, it still sets a precedent against that 10%, thus negating any job that the majority is doing to protect the rights of the minority. You want freedom of speech? it's easy to bitch about that when you're in the majority, talking about how this country and its liberals are ruining your rights. But you want freedom?
Well... you know what you just did? Say your opinion and leave because you felt uncomfortable speaking it? There are people who have to do that everytime they go to a federal building and see nomenclature and icons nonrelated to their religion, and they shouldn't have to feel that way in a federal situation. It is your job as the majority to make sure that they don't have to feel that way as the minority. THAT is what makes America great... the fact it respects those who dissent and are different.
And as far as the debate about legislating, it was just in contradiction to an idea that Heavenly threw into the ring for debate. But at least Heavenly stuck around to talk about it... he didn't just throw it in and run like a scared little punk ass bitch, which you appear to be.
