I just had a thought!

Does anybody remember VASinger? Dingler? Or any of the other numerous incarnations of that person (I know there were a bunch, but can't remember all the names)?

The "oldies but goodies" will know what I'm talking about.

Hitler was virulently anti-Catholic. The Nazis murdered 3 million Catholics in Poland alone. Ask St. Maximillian Kolbe, who died in a Nazi starvation cell, or St. Edith Stein, who was martyred in a Nazi death camp, about the "cozy relationship" between the Nazis and the Church. Idiot.

If this is what comes of burning books -- by god, I hope you burn a library full at least, to offset your small minded, petty, weak, false-righteousness.
Interesting. Vigilante book burners, huh? Breaking into an occupied house in the middle of the night, with torches, to burn books of poetry. I've never heard of such a thing in California, but I'll take your word for it because ... well, for no good reason except that I'm in a good mood tonight.

Probably something like "thou shalt not bear false witness", or maybe "ye are of your father, the devil". Just guessing.

IMO, Hitlers sick demented mind was based in his Christian beliefs... Yes, Catholics did good, and saw him for what he was... Koodos for the Catholics on that one...!

But I personally still "blame" Religion for that aberration of humanity..
Hitler's religious beliefs and fanaticism

----
On your swear words, no teachers should not use them in school, students should not say them in class. Swear words should not be glorified.. IMO they are "lazy words" when a person can not find an accurate word to express their emotion...

Yes, I have been lazy myself on occasion and used swear words..But not on a daily or weekly basis... IMO, an educated society should have little need for them.

Matter of fact kids and adults can be alot more effective using an "advanced" vocabulary to make their point, or belittle their target... After all is that not the purpose of these words? To stand out, get attention...

Obviously you've never read the Bible, the most obscene, violent, racist, misogynistic, incoherent, filthy, sick piece of literature ever written. It should be banned.

Sometimes there's nothing better than a well placed F word to get your point across. Should teachers/students use them in a school classroom? Probably not. There are no BAD words, just inappropriate times to use certain words. I think we have bigger fish to fry than swear words when it comes to education in this country.
