People go out of their way to make others who have different religious beliefs feel more welcome by getting rid of Christmas decorations and trying to change the name to "Winterfest" or something.
At the same time, these same people are moaning about the Gambling Legislation Bill thingy that will allow horse racing etc on Christmas Day and Easter.
Erm.
Backwards.
Also, is the only reason you can't buy alcohol before 12.30pm on Sundays because of churches?
I only thought about it today, and that's the only reason I can think of for it..
But surely that's not welcoming otehr religions?
THIS COUNTRY = WEIRD
Yes.

Just had a glimpse on google and the Incas were from Peru so seems my memory isn't totally rubbish.
Hmmm and all us Americans aren't meant to know any history outside our borders :-D

Meh; gotta admit, that was not much more than a "Who the hell lived in South America before the Spaniards wiped them all out" braindump.
I'm fairly sure the Incas were foresty types, but I'm not altogether sure.

Ahahahahahahahahaha.
*Deep breath*
Ha.
I'm offended by the fact that racism towards white people is tolerated.
In my Geography book, I read
"White men came to the Amazon rainforest. They cut it down.
They infected the natives common diseases, which they have no immunity to, and destroy their way of life"
Maybe someone should tell them that just as many Brazilian natives are responsible for it as there are White people.
Racism will exist until people stop taking things so seriously.

true but people have alcohol problems yet there's no massive outcry to ban that is there. So why all the fuss about some casinos opening up?

I don't think it's the 'minority' people that ask for these changes, it's usually British born whities.
Best (or worst, depending how you want to look at it) exmaple I can think of is the campaign to change the Union flag so it has big black borders on it, because apparently any flag without black on it is racist...

No, it doesn't. But it is inevitable that new casinos will mean that a number MORE will develop gambling habits.

No, it doesn't. But it is inevitable that new casinos will mean that a number MORE will develop gambling habits.

No, we go into other countrys, kill 10,000 odd civilians and tell them they should change thier political system into a democracy. We sent loads of missionarys overseas to tell everyone we conqurered to abandon thier own beliefs and convert to Christianity. We have plenty of charities and NGOs in other countrys telling them they should abolish the death penalty, female castration etc.

Now this annoyed me. Why the uproar about the casinos opening up? Are they demolishing schools and hospitals to build them all? Are they getting 5 year old kids to work in them and only paying them 2p a day? Is it a secret hostile takeover plan of Britain?
Just because a casino opens up doesn't mean we'll all flock to it like sheeps and suddenly develop a gambling habit.
