Re: I'm hoping you mean great in the bad way. Isaac Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 02:03:33 AM

Link didn't work but I found it, zero subtlety, the way politics should be. My favorite remains "His wife was a thespian before their marriage and even performed the act in front of paying customers, he himself is a known pedagogue."


One can argue about the decision of the Geneva canton government at the time to ban the poster, but it's disgusting to say the least.

And that line nicely acts on the ignorance of people... :P Where's that from?


Some guy ran for something in Georgia or the Carolinas way back and apparently accused his opponent of being a pedagogue and having a sister who was a thespian, it floats around in mutated form a lot. It may even be apocyprhal.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

It seems the Swiss ban on muslim minarets has passed rather quietly AgentOrange - 02/12/2009 04:15:22 PM 608 Views
This is surprising. Avendesora - 02/12/2009 04:19:03 PM 349 Views

I understand the first in Qatar was built in 2003. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:11:31 PM 317 Views
Yes, with no steeple and no bell! Vodalus - 03/12/2009 12:48:12 AM 336 Views
Ah yes, now that you mention it. Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:52:26 AM 326 Views
So you ban the steeples where church bells are not needed? Cannoli - 02/12/2009 07:19:16 PM 356 Views
I would take an equal line against steeples where there is no bell/or no bell allowed to be used. The Shrike - 02/12/2009 08:29:21 PM 351 Views

Does anyone know the legal effect of this referendum? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:00:54 PM 336 Views
It's Switzerland. Their referendums are binding. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:07:52 PM 344 Views
Do the Swiss think they live in 5th-century BC Athens or something? Tim - 02/12/2009 10:11:29 PM 336 Views
Switzerland is odd in a great many ways. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:14:26 PM 346 Views
Actually, I think I meant the European Court of Human Rights, not the ECJ. Tim - 02/12/2009 10:16:38 PM 340 Views
Yeah, but does that one have any power? Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:17:54 PM 350 Views

They pretty much have. Legolas - 02/12/2009 10:16:46 PM 344 Views
that was kind of my thought LadyLorraine - 03/12/2009 12:17:23 AM 306 Views
I would say it is a bit reactionary but i guess it depends on your definition of intolerance random thoughts - 03/12/2009 03:39:48 PM 353 Views

It's not the government that did it. *NM* Legolas - 03/12/2009 12:29:35 AM 155 Views
