SM,
Considering all of the wonderful things you have done so far, you couldn't get into any more trouble then you already are. ;-)
The ten commandments of Democracy
We must all separate politics and religion, and we must never place religion above the laws of democracy.
We must all respect that all people have equal rights regardless of sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
No person must ever incite to hatred, and we must never allow hatred to enter our hearts.
No person must ever use or encourage violence – no matter how frustrated or wronged we feel, or how just our cause.
We must all make use of dialogue - always.
We must all show respect for the freedom of expression, also of those with whom we disagree the most.
No person can claim for themselves or assign to others a place apart, neither as superior persons, as inferior persons or as eternal victims.
We must all treat other people’s national and religious symbols as we wish them to treat ours – flag-burning and graffiti on churches, mosques and synagogues are insults that hinder dialogue and increase the repression of the other party.
We must all mind our manners in public. Public space is not a stage on which to vent one’s aggressions or to spread fear and hate, but should be a forum for visions and arguments, where the best must win support.
We must all stand up for our opponent if he or she is subjected to spiteful treatment.
The commandments were first voiced in a speech by Naser Khader in 2002.
On the question of the God, the devil and the law, I've always liked this quote from Robert Bolt's play "A Man for all Seasons":
"And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you—where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country’s planted thick with laws from coast to coast — man’s laws, not God’s — and if you cut them down — and you’re just the man to do it — d’you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake."
Man's laws, not God's laws - for our own safety's sake.
All this talking about god... there is no god, understand? Theres humans, and compassion, and an empty void to make us feel small: if you believe in anything else - its allright by me - just keep it personal!
Who was it that said he was the Prince of Blasephmy?
is it wrong that i find those blogs amusing and interesting?!
God seems to be a better writer (with a better sense of humor) than Lucifer. Convincing enough for an English teacher :)
Sandmonkey, hereby a link to my blog displaying a cartoon that is going around a lot amongst Dutch speakers in Belgium and Holland:
http://letman.blogspot.com/2006/02/cartoon-heisa.html
To give you some background on this: Nijn or Nijntje is a very famous rabbit created by a Dutch cartoonist in Holland (www.nijntje.nl) and you might know him as Miffy. My blog is in Dutch and goes about me preparing to run the Berlin marathon in Germany but I find this cartoon just too good to not publish it there. If you google a bit on 'nijn eleven' you'll find more hits on this. I'm sure I don't have to explain the cartoon and I believe publishing this in any newspaper should be ok too (I hope).
Regards from Belgium and keep up the good work!
Al Quada just blow up one of the major shia holy sites I wonder if that will cause world wide protests? Not that long ago a major jewish holy site 'the tomb of Rachel' was burned by islmo fascists. If you want respect you kind of have to give it.
It was Al Qaeda behind it? hmm, they have openly declared war on Shi'ites too?
I laughed, I cried ... It changed my life ... ;P

Do you have a drinking problem or something, Jokerman? You haven't been watching the news out of Iraq the last 2 years, or what?
