    Kosher and Halal Slaughter May Be Banned In Netherlands

    I followed this a bit in the news and apparantly a lot of the kosher and halal "leftovers" end up in supermarkets, they are not indicated to be halal or korsher so people assuming that the animals were slaughtered as humanly as possible, could be quite wrong in some cases French newspaper ...

    Mutl-Language Speakers

    Havanacat is right, the best way to learn is having to use it. but - Immersion is not always a posibility. I always suggest the following to pick up another language Find one of your favourite KID movies/series that has your chosen language (I'll go with German as an example). The kids...

    How about you stop stomping your wee little foot about it all being unfair and explain to all of us how your question either * shows you are answering the original poster (OP), this thread isn't even a page long yet and you are already derailing it, perhaps your question is a genuine one but now...

    The black marker Bible project

    Ran into a little snag apparantly the text I based this on is not published by the Vatican but by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England & Wales and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Scotland. The gift of scripture Trying to figure out now if this is endorsed by the main mufti in...

    I left the church today.

    Agreed, but my point 4 still stands, even those that do not believe in an afterlife / souls still need to be able to mourn/remember their dead, that is why we care. It is not about the soul thing imo but about having something tangible, since, eventually, after one dies, the ones you have left...

    I left the church today.

    Not saying that I disagree with the silly remark and it might be slightly different in Denmark but : 1. health-reasons, you can't just burry dead people wherever you want 2. Depends, in Belgium if the graveyard is considered to be affiliated with a certain religion, that religion can deny you...

    The black marker Bible project

    I have been thinking quite a while to join the ranks on youtube to battle the bible-thumpers (I'll leave the actual science videos to the scientist) and I think I might have found a decent idea (partly based on the annotated bible) Apparantly the Vatican has a list of things they consider to be...

    Problems with Islamophobia, Islamists, Polarization, Etc.

    Re: Problems with Islamophobia, Islamists, Polarization, Etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing might be a good place to start looking into it though they admit making statistics on this is hard and these are only the killings, I'm pretty sure there is also a lot of abuse that will not...

    Problems with Islamophobia, Islamists, Polarization, Etc.

    Re: Problems with Islamophobia, Islamists, Polarization, Etc Perhaps it is just a matter of semantics, I can understand that people react aversly to a term like Islamophobic - it is so broadly generalizing it is not too hard to add traits to it that are incorrect. In a sense most people aren't...

    Biblical truth

    It would be interesting to get a hold of the entire list of official "Untrue" statements - I have always planned to do a black marker project on a bible (where you would first cross out the untrue statements and then continue to also remove the chapter/subchapter it was part of) I wonder how...
