This isn't a political issue, or even a religious issue, and for whores and AIDS: that's a health issue.
|OK, this thread I think got way out of hand.. I even said in the original |message that I didn't necessarily want the things changed, except for maybe |removing that one printk line. I got flames up the ass from people around the |world thinking I'm some anal-retentive up-tight person, which is not the case |at all.
You did the correct thing, you pointed out something.
|I've only stepped inside of a church once.. for a wedding.. so, I'm definitely |not some type of religious nut. :)
If you went to church every day what is wrong with that, and if you never went to church, nothing wrong there either. Religion is a very personal issue and freedom of choice (even the choice of none) is paramount.

There is nothing anti/pro religion about the words mentioned, unless Sun is a religion: the other word explains how we go here :-) -- Louis-ljl-{LLaBash@siue.edu | lou@minuet.siue.edu}
