Definition: secularism n. Religious skepticism or indifference. The view that religious considerations should be excluded from civil affairs or public education.

In France (which is the country I'm most familiar with) it is against the constitution to mix religous and political affairs.

School children are NOT allowed to wear religous symbols to school or they will be expelled (these symbols include the crucifix, the burka, the Star of David, the bible, ... ).
The belief is that this helps to avoid create divisions.

I'm Catholic but I approve the idea of a secular state.
However, I can't say that immigrant intergration in France is one big success story (despite our secular policy).

British school children ARE permitted to wear religous symbols.
However, they also have major immigrant intergration problems.

So what's the solution ?

To be secular, or not to be secular ? I think I'm divided on this one. ;)

I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

The dealer gave me a 20 day temp and now its about to expire on the weekend of my trip. They said its illegal for them to give me an extension but they painted this pretty picture on how we dont have to worry about nothing, "you'll get your plates on time"... Nothing yet. The temp expires on the 23rd, I bought the truck on the 3rd. I so hate this dealership. Paramus Chevrolet in Paramus NJ.. Stay far away from them.

My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex(no preaching please, not here for that!) and he pulls out every time. I know that pre-*** has sperm in it, I know I can still get pregnant. But if he always pulls out what is the chance I would become pregnant?

No names, but the national company claims it is a "limited" warranty for 3 yrs. Weld on hinge plate actaully gave way, whole door topples out. Shoddy piece of **** craftmanship they don't cover but for 3 yrs? Is there any recourse. No receipt, but bought at Wal-Mart for $90 or so. Aren't safes supposed to be safe?

I know I posted a similar question but I'm having a hard time deciding champagne or wine, basing it on presentation (the champagne bottle is pretty) or practicallity (wine). Wine keeps longer and most likely my friends will want to display it as a keepsake and open it during an anniversary down the road.. click on this link and which one would you choose among the three? http://www.personalizationmall.com/Product.aspx?productID=1137&sdest=search&sdestid=0 thanks in advance for your input!

Ok, so I'm totally going nuts trying to get straight answers about unemployment. I work in a position where there is a one-year working test period, and it is up in about a month. My employer has notified me that I will not be employed beyond this period, due to the fact that they just don't think I'm a good fit for the agency. (no willful misconduct) They have offered me an opportunity to resign rather than have the working test period failed, just so I can still say I've never been terminated.

CT law states that you can be denied benefits if you're fired for willful misconduct or if you quit without just cause attributable to the employer.

I tried calling DOL, and he just kept repeating "either way, you'll need to attend a hearing." "The only way you won't have to attend a hearing is if you're laid off." I get it... I wanna know, if the employer tells me I won't have a job in a month, is that just cause to quit, or will I likely lose my case?

Alzheimers is such an awful 'intruder'!
To witness a Loved One going through that is so traumatic.
People say it's worse for those witnessing than for the sufferer, but how can anyone know?
...or how can any sufferer ever adequately explain?

I am 16 years old and I love guys and flirting with them and everything but it really ticks me off when older guys hit on me. By older I mean 18+. As in there have been 30+yr old men who have hit on me.

I think it's so rude and gross!
I don't mind the 18-20yr olds but why older? Why do they do this, I'm only 16! What should I do? Are a lot of guys like this?

My 5 year old asked me why they call strawberries... strawberries? He wanted to know why they start with the word straw. He says they dont look like straws, and they don't grow in straw(hay).
He also said... Maybe because people suck the juice out of them.
Anyone know??
