Yes, but I am even getting sick and tired of having to hear about "the constitution". Whether something is in or is not in the constitution, what about human dignity? These people have been praying before their meals for their entire lives here in AMERICA but now they can't because they might OFFEND somebody?
People better wake up and smell the coffee, something very bad is going on and we don't need the constitution to tell us.
""""These people have been praying before their meals for their entire lives here in AMERICA but now they can't because they might OFFEND somebody""""
Boy! I could sure use your all-knowing crystal ball the next time I'm at the race track!
HOW do you know they prayed before meals all their lives....maybe some are atheists....maybe some always prayed silently...maybe some are Muslim....maybe some are just damn hungry and don't care to pray....who the HELL are YOU to decide????
And, it has NOTHING to do with offense... to do with LAW...LAW....got a clue what THAT means??? ...didn't think so....
How many of those "taxpayers" are Christians that WANT the seniors to give thanks to GOD for that food that the 80% Christians of this country PAID for?
The government didn't pay for that food, we did!
Who are they to tell them they can't say grace?
Guess what? All Christians say grace together and out loud!
We're a Constitutional Democracy, not strictly a 100% majority rule system.
Just because Christians are 80% doesn't mean jack.
Change the Constitution with your 80% Christian majority if you don't like it.
What do you mean no one complains, you do every chance you get.
that the best you got? nice. this country was founded on freedom of religion not stamping it out. picking on old folks that still remember and believe this is well kinda low

HOW...HOW do you and magpie KNOW what these seniors think or feel ????
You don't......
and it's as egotistical as a god who needs old people to shore up his image...people who may have worked all their lives and can finally quit giving thanks for something they EARNED years ago!!!!!!!!!
The government is not leading this prayer and is not involved.
They're just grateful to have the food. Let them pray for it.
People buy food with food Stamps too, maybe we need a government task force to make sure the people do not pray at the dinner table before eating that food.

Excellent point! I would Rep. you, but I have to spread it around first.

I don't want my tax money spent on a bunch of damn holly rollers. If they want free food then let their God provide.

This is more about common courtesy to the person sitting beside you. I don't mind if you pray and give thanks for your food, just don't make me listen to it in a public setting. what you do with your food at your own dinner table is up to you.
