Lmao, sweatshops
Snerk is a word?
Nike basically does that

In the US?
Bethedsa
A nasal snort of derision. Snerk.
Prostitution helped the growth of the west and then we basically made it illegal. It is like saying thanks for the help, but now get the fuck out. :\
Snort and jerk
@Dusty Morgan it’s not like it wasn’t illegal; they were just too far away to do anything about it
It was always illegal they just couldn’t enforce the law
I'm pretty sure whores are still legal in Nevada.
Emperor... you know why it is illegal. It was because of religion.
What happen to the separation of church and state, when we are making a profession illegal based off religious texts.
That doesn’t change the incorrectness of your statement; you said that they *made* it illegal
When it always was
It wasn't always fucking illegal.
It's illegal because we have laws against it. People vote for individuals who do what they want. What people want is based on beliefs, including religious beliefs.
^
In that sense, what, you want people to be barred from voting for stuff for religious reasons?
Yes I don't want religion dictating anything in this nation.... religion has a bad habit of being tyrants towards it citizens.
```Then why even have a democracy?```
Exactly that's the question right now in Euroland...
This is my atheism talking.
So, you don't want democracy, got it.
Separation of church and state is fundimental to United States founding.
Even our founding fathers understood this.
Yeah, so was slavery. I don't see you defending that.
And they were themselves christians.
I'm in Germany right now and does it look like the politicians act as democratic elected officials representing the population???
Separation of church and state was supposed to prevent a church as a organizational entity dictating law, not citizens voting based on their religious conscience
No, they don't, Merkel acts like a Dictator
And they dictated a law... through organization of churches.
By legislation through votes.
Look, as long as the Pope isn't dictating policy to America, that portion of the law is functioning as intended.

We're not going to pretend like the Founders weren't talking about Catholicism.
So many times I have seen churches telling their followers to vote for a certain person.
Pope has no authority here
Muslims do it in their community too.
