Going back to the 19th century [modified]

Even though I live in Australia now (and was born here, have the citizenship, etc... :-D ) I grew up in France and I feel a bit more European than Aussie.. Particularly I'm a happy atheist who view separation of state and church as very important. Now, following some (unfortunate :sigh: ) growing problem with kids (violence, suicide, etc...) the (Australian) government is going to give some financial grant to those school which have chapelin (any faith) in them :sigh: Ho, why, employ religious men again?!? In shool! Where the brainwashing danger is even greater! I'm tempted to say nothing good never came out of religion. But let's be politically correct and let's just say what about consellor? diplomed psychologist? Hey that would even give some job to those who study psychology! Well, just expressing my affliction at seing years of progress and enlightenment so quickly and lightly dismissed... :sigh: -- moved by Ed at 8:45 Monday 30th October, 2006

Little Johnny has to go. His policies when he first came to power were designed to balance a budget and to hell with the cost to society, but now his policies seem to be some weird attempt to emulate George W. That's not a comment on GW: what I mean is that Australia is so very different to the States and it feels like Johnny has forgotten that. It makes me sad. I just wish the opposition weren't so lame as to be unable to win elections that could so easily be won by anyone with a policy and an ounce of charisma. The petty infighting of Labour and the Democrats is almost as bad. Australian polictics are on a sad, sorry state at it's right now that we need someone with a brain and a backbone to get things back on track

Amen :-D. I completely agree. I don't have anything against religion, but more often then not, religion is called upon as reason for hatred and violence. So sad :sigh:
No hurries, no worries.

Psychologists are basically secular priests, so you're pretty much endorsing the wholsale marriage of your government with your particular religious view. The Taliban did the same thing.

Therapy is, and has always been, one of their major roles.

Therapy is, and has always been, one of their major roles.
Considering that their training is -- and always has been -- focused on faith, liturgy, and keeping the collection plate full, I'd say therapy is hardly a major role.

In your world where facts are subjective, and your subjective judgments constitute fact, I suppose everyone who disagrees with you is wrong.

Hey, I'm unemployed, you must have many connections having lived in Canberra for so long. Let's kill two birds with one stone. I'm willing to give it a go. If I can't out bullshit little Johnnie during the debates I'll just punch the crap out of him, I'll get the Bogan and Abo vote on that alone.
Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash 24/04/2004

Sorry this is not acceptable, you'll have to reorganise at your end. It's 5 days after my birthday and 3 days after the piss up. With sheep boy in Queensland, Christian not drinking alcohol you were the only CP hope. What are you doing to me.

Isn't that what you keep advocating as long as it's your religion?
