There got to be something wrong with your country : why on earth does religion has anything to do with politic in USA ? o_o

In France, bigots shut their f*cking goddamned faces, and that's way better !
(In fact, the biggest part of French people are atheist)

A large amount of Americans are religious, a large amount of religions have politics in mind.

That may be true, but you still didn't legalize same sex marriage...

As you can see in the map, *** marriage isn't allowed in France, but there is a *** union, and contrary to USA, in the entire country.
Our problem is that the word "mariage" (I bet you'll understand the meaning) means litterally "union of people of opposite sexes", so "*** marriage" is a oxymoron, and is, basically, impossible.
(that's the argument of a large amount of french people)
Plus french peoples are a little bit... uptight with those things. Especially peoples over 50 years old (a half of the french population, basically)

That's what i though the first time I heard "god bless america", and the first time I saw an american dollar ("in god we trust")

edit : Wtf, why is the word "g-a-y" hidden ? o_o

That's because France isn't a federation...

Um, I believe that's the argument everyone is making against it.

So you're just as bigoted as Americans then...

That's absurd. In France people are much more bigoted. When I visited I was refused service twice because I was American.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

Yeah but "meant to" and "did" are different animals.

Yeah I'm not sure where this came from. First of all, being an aetheist generally means that you're far more biggoted toward religious people than religious people are toward aethists.

Secondly, The Germans and the French regularly have editorial pieces arguing what makes someone "French" or "German" and you can bet that a good majority outline an agenda that prevents Turks and middle easterners from being included.

Are you really suprised by this? One of bosses was refused cab service in England because he was American for christs sake.
