The EU and Europe's cultural identity

My interest in this is not about abortion yes or no, nor is it any interest or sympathy for the Catholic church. How Brussel denies major variables that have formed europe'S cultural identity and tries to rule people that they shall not feel according to these identities - this is what raises my interest.

The last paragraph of the article is just a funny addon: "Meanwhile in Italy today a court decided, after a protracted legal battle, that Father Enrico Righi, a Catholic priest, will not be forced to prove Christ’s historical existence in court."

Das ist doch toll!

Maybe Europe deserves to go down :stare: :hmm:

ps for those who dont like links very much the synopsis:

Two clashes of civilization are currently taking place in Europe. Freedom-loving people having to fight on two fronts. One involves the radical segment of the immigrant Muslim population that opposes basic Western values such as freedom of speech and that is intent on imposing Islamic taboos (such as the mere fact of depicting their prophet Muhammad) on the non-Islamic population. The other involves radical secularists that want to eradicate all remnants of traditional Christian culture from post-Christian Europe by restricting the right to conscientious objection on the part of religious people.

Europe should be renamed the Tower of Babel II.

And what of the real tower I do believe it's being rebuilt as predicted?

I have no idea what you are talking about. :-?

The whole stinking world is going down wake up people it's the end times.

I agree with STEED.
The whole world is going down, europe is being destroyed from the inside and that is because of the stinking lefftwing governments... :cry: I hate the EU... I'm staring to hate everything... It's is really hard to stay tolerant now days..
We have a saying in Polish: "Caly swiat leci na pysk" It means the whole world is falling on it's face...

:cry:

Mr. Berlusconi and his allied are excellent destroyers too, even not being exactly leftwing. Each of us has his peculiar problem.

The EU Parliament is a stinking pit of corruption working for evil and that’s a fact they make me sick they think they got all the answers well then what about the bloody mess we are in. :nope:

Depressing young people is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Really, if all you can do is whine about how bad things are maybe your civilization does indeed deserve to fall.

I'm middle aged. This gives me the ability to see things with a bit more perspective. Sure, the world has it's problems, but then again it's ALWAYS had it's problems. Compared to what our ancestors had to deal with we have it very easy indeed.

So rather than sit around and complain about it, start doing whatever you can to improve the situation. Remember the old cliche: "If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem".

The whole stinking planet will fall in to total corruption no escape for anyone bloody wake up. You are living in the end times.

Well, I am closer now to 40 than 35 yet not depressed :)

Europe is utterly confused and to a great extent managed by bureaucratic hypocritical spineless morons but I am not confused and depressed.

It's just that we can not deal with the vast majority of treehuggers who are basically f*cking up Europe.

Action ? Whattayamean ?! In Europe that means being called a neo nazi. End of story.

Gotta love the friggin Euro-constitiutions from days long past with freedom of religions.

Here's my vote for banning islam from the European continent.

To recap you are living in the end times and it's out of your hands the final battle is coming when I don't know the best thing to do is live your life’s to the full.

A sad vote, Sixpack, as religious freedom is one of the conquests of our civilization, and not the less important.

What's the next step? Again an imposed national party, racial values and son on? What a brilliant advancement!

Hold on, let me grab some popcorn.

Don't get me started, guys... Unlimited tolerance, even for a declared intention to overcome our own culture? "Nicht mit mir."

People have been claiming they were living in the end times since Relevations was written. It ain't happened yet, and (imo) anyone who wastes their life believing it's going to is a fool.

You remind me of an old friend of mine who used to say that he'd be dead before he turned 30. He really believed it, and therefore didn't see the value of planning for the future by "wasting" his time going to school or finding a good career that would allow him to eventually become financially stable. After all, what good is a savings account going to do if the world won't be around by the time he needed it? His life was was all about living for the moment with no thought to the future.

Well, just the other day he turned 55. He hardly has a pot to piss in and works at a crap job that doesn't pay well because that's all he can get without education or training. How do you think he'll do once he gets too old to push that mop anymore?

So ALWAYS plan for a future. Maybe there won't be one, maybe it will all be wiped out by nuclear war or by the wrath of a vengeful God but what if it doesn't?

80% of the warnings has happen if you want to go around with eyes shut that's your choice the whole stinking world is more evil today than 10 years ago so what about the next 10 years will they be better no simple as that.

The world was far more evil in the dark ages, or during the beginning of WW2, or during WW1 or any number of other eras in human history. Each time there were people who interpeted those events as signs of the end of the world with just as much confidence as you are displaying, yet they were wrong.

So what makes you think you're right when so many over the centuries have been wrong?

Wake up and do your home work my friend. Look around you mankind has no answers to the bloody mess we are in.
