I picked this line from Karl to Rameus from one of the topics on this forum. I'd like to know how things work in America (it's often so "non-europian"). And if I'm in the opportunity I'd like to discuss how the things work overhere, Holland. In that way my chauvinistic tendencies will be restricted to this thread.

I'd be a little careful about using this type of phraseology, Rameus. We are both aware of the mental state of fundies, after seeing the Xtian snake-handlers of Appalachia die, the Deanna Laney tragedy, the "exorcism" smothering, etc.. We don't want any fundies that may be lurking to get any ideas about trying to prove Mark 16:18, etc..... we all know what happened at Jonestown..... |
Yes, I agree a little, choose your opponents carefully when expressing yourself.

The day before yesterday another freethinker in Holland is shot. The grand-grand-grand-son of Vincent van Gogh, the painter.

That's standard vocabulary for Van Gogh (beside goat fucker). I hope that freedom of speech will be maintained like this: http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/89.
1) Would such a public discussion be possible in your country?
'Gedogen'
It's a summary of our society. By the way do you know that John Kerry would have won in Holland with 75%? The concept of 'gedogen' is explained in that article too.

| If there is a social matter that will not allow a concrete solution, the Dutch will "gedogen" it. The typical example for foreigners are prostitution and "soft drugs." The Dutch know that these are never going to go away. Everybody knows that. The Dutch acknowledge it officially. |
It's not legal, it's not illegal... (reminds me of theist/atheist discussion, Neil 
).
2) Do you've things in America that are tolerated - and aren't as such merely illegal?
