Byron_the_Aussie trolls: "Hey Sinky, got anything better to do than hanging around FR, waiting to put an early troll post on every Ten Commandments thread that goes up?"

Nah. I relish any opportunity to get under your thin skin. 19 -sinkspur-

Puh-leez. You're Tpaine Lite, buddy. -byron_the_auss-

I think it's fair to say that cowardly little remark puts you right up with FR's great all-time lightweights like eschoir, ash, clarity, etc, aussie.

Actually I am not sure Byron is actually a citizen of a free republic per se? Australia has a national religion, by law, the Christian Church eh? It is understandable how he or other socialist nations might gaze with wonder on our national repudiation of sectarian displays of specific faiths... after all, if it's good enough for a monarchist it ought to be good enough for a former colony like the USA.

Canada is this way to is it not? Neither nation Canada NOR Australia REVOLTED against the head of the Anglican Church, King George... they were GRANTED their freedom, without much real bloodshed... and their citizens have a very limited concept, it seems of how much Americans LOVE GOD, but HATE auhtorized state religions.

Canada and Australia...
Not quite the same thing as a secular republic that tolerates all religions equally now are they?

I love our cousins... but they give up their guns too easily and kow tow to a state sponsored religion, far too much for my tastes as a rebellious american yankee... in the west.

Now, now. That was meant to be a compliment.

Of sorts.
