You know why it won't work... because of the democrats that want to control everyone. that's why.
@earl-of-trumps saidMaybe we should legalise rape and murder then because if a bad thing persists despite our best efforts I guess we should embrace it.
Well, Kev,
the commies tried for many years to weed religion out of society, oh well.

Earl: Of course.
I have always staunchly refused to allow people who practice Sharia Law entry to America just for that reason.
Do you agree?
@earl-of-trumps saidPeace loving people do not force their religious views on non religious people or people of other religions.

I think you’re being obtuse by not getting my point about popularity not being synonymous with ok or worthwhile.
@kevcvs57 saidYet that's all we here from the greenie happy clappers** and state worshippers trying to force their religion on everyone else.

EoT: I can't recall your point, but I can tell you here that popularity is not necessarily a ok or worthwhile thing.
