Hey it's the same here, Prince Edward Island, Canada. They let you cross the bridge for free, but charge you $47.50 to leave. That's why I'm still here. :har:

I'll send you the money to escape if you need it.
:har:

Not even a citizens pass or discount?

Our Garden state parkway is a toll road, it was supposed to be toll free 15 years ago...But our politicians...Hrmmm

Maybe Jersey does suck.:haha:

Not so fast. We've had this conversation before.

Religion is the excuse groups use to fear the other.

The without the other, there can be no conflict.

Therefore we must outlaw people.

:up:

Take religion out of the world and people will find something new to fight about. Even on starships. :know:

Only near the Eastern edge as far as I've seen.
But that's probably cause it rubs up next to NYC.
:hmmm:

That's a Biblical destroy zone anyway.

Nope. And they keep raising the toll.:nope:

There's no place like home.:D

Thanks. Winter's comin'. Brrr.:O:

Well, the Paki's want a ban on Blasphemy, at the world level. ( A UN Law I suppose) and if that isn't enough this Paki politician has put up a $100,000 reward for anyone killing the film maker. And has asked the Taliban and AQ to help pull it off.

I say we cut off all monetary aid to Pakistan.

I even seen the area refered to as New Babylon from the book of Revelations.

Here's what might be abolished:

"Freedom of Religion" as a separate and sacred concept.

I see no reason why its useful, benign portions cannot be encompassed in "Freedom of Expression", and it'll stop the religious from using the first as an excuse to restrict other people's rights.

Blasphemy is not limited to religion.
It's just a word used to express a different view that is not accepted by the main stream of any given situation.

So a Blasphemy Law could be used against someone saying We need to change our Government.

Lord knows we don't need more Laws to break!

The UN also wants a worldwide gun ban.

And how has Pakistan proven to the world community it was anything more than a weasel?

Take your money, pretend we care, then hide the guy you were looking for, right under your noses. They make Mexican authorities look like Elliot Ness.

Widespread military corruption, and nuclear to top it off.

I say we strengthen ties with India, just to piss them off.

But I am more than sure, that China and Russia will play along, as they love to do anything to tweak the US nipples, whenever they get a chance.

Freedom of Religion is useful in preventing the rise of the type of state-sponsored religion found in various theocracies around the world from taking root in the US. It's inclusion was due to the fact that founding fathers had experienced first-hand the problems of a state church.

I believe our amendment had root in the Church of England and what our founding fathers saw with the protestant movement in those days.

Pakistan can say what they want, but quite a few more progressive nations have Veto powers, that will prevent the attempt to protect the soft skin of their citizens.

Burning American flags is ok, but drawing a picture is bad...HMMMMMM?:hmmm:

(I'll go along with this, if they give up thier religious sharia laws, fair trade off, we both lose something we hold sacred)

New York may be big?
But it's not the only place with a bad rep.
:haha:

Revelations is cryptic as are all the other 'this is what will happen' stuff.
My calanders end every year at December 31.
So the mayans ran out of money to do a calander after 2012.
Don't mean anything is gonna happen and the electric company still wants thier money.
:D
