Religious Discrimination

Bryan Killian, a high school student in North Buncombe, North Carolina was suspended for coming to school dressed as a pirate.

But the disciplinary action has provoked controversy – because the student says that the ban violates his rights, as the pirate costume is part of his religion.

Read about it in the Metro or the Citizen-Times.

This story is blowing up and I’ve been having a lot of problems keeping the server running. It’s currently #1 on Digg and Reddit.

I’ll have some updates and more information about all this soon.

    @ Rowdy - I troll :) It’s fun! This fucker is causing serious problems though - between a damned good mate of mine and me - I’ll find the shit though - then I’ll play with them - and believe me - I CAN play! I cheat though :))

    @ Pansy - Good girl!

    @ Alchemist - If you aren’t cheating you aren’t trying! Sorry for the problems…good luck with the hunt.

    Hi Rowdy
    I’m more or less on a day off here today…for a small while anyway.
    I’m up for some fun :))

  6. 226 Alchemist Apr 1st, 2007 at 7:45 pm

    Rowdy - I WILL find them! I have a wonderful and fantastic friend - I will not let a troll fuck it up for me :)) - I really do fancy a “trolls at dawn” thing =))

    @whoever thinks they can get one over me!
    I will hunt you down - I will not stop until I have found you!
    When I find you I will play with you, then I will destroy you - you’ve picked the wrong person to play with (no joke! - you are my new obsession)

    @Alchemist and Nikkiee
    Um… I’m a bit lost here… who are y’all hunting??

    Alrighgt Brian. It’s great to see your post here. I admire your courage.
    Many people out there do not really believe in democracy, freedom and a true American republic as established in our constitution.
    When a real American patriot steps up to the plate to defend the First Amendment you make us all proud.
    Great Work.
    Now youv’e got a forum.
    Use it however you wish. Your FREE to do so.
    Keep yourself safe.

  14. 234 Rowdy Wench Apr 1st, 2007 at 8:56 pm

    @ Wench Nikkiee - Sorry to abandon you! Not here for long…hunting trolls in my own head tonight. Being here would be more fun.

    “Want to find the traitor:)”

    Sorry I got a bit mixed up there for mo…thought you were referring to someone from the other crowd.

    @Batman
    Not sure

    @Rowdy Wench
    “Sorry to abandon you!”
    No need to apologise Rowdy…I really need to get some work here done too. :((
    .
    “hunting trolls in my own head tonight.”
    Don’t much like the sound of that Rowdy :(
    Remember the Two Wolves

  17. 237 Rowdy Wench Apr 1st, 2007 at 9:11 pm

    @ Wench Nikkiee - Thanks for the reminder! I’ve been working on it and have been feeding the good wolf, and therefore making better progress than I have in about 3 weeks.

  18. 238 Batman Apr 1st, 2007 at 9:11 pm

    I’m completely lost at the moment…
    .
    Nikkiee… who are the two wolves now?
    .
    @Rowdy… you better be taking care of yourself!! I’ll be upset if you’re not!!! Here, I’m going to go make myself an emergency rum&coke, you go make yourself and emergency whiskey… and then we will both be a-ok. Kind of. Hopefully…
    .
    @Nikkiee
    So, there’s no troll? Did the two wolves eat it? Or did it go away on it’s own?

  19. 239 Rowdy Wench Apr 1st, 2007 at 9:19 pm

    @ Batman - the two wolves are a lovely story Booty sent me on the Yahoo site. If I hadn’t gotten insanely delete happy the other day I could send it to you. I’ll see if I can find it tomorrow in the postings.

    Well, I’d better get back at it…I am taking care of myself Batman! Better than I have in a while. I do have an emergency whiskey though!

    See you all later…hopefully I can come back tonight but if not then tomorrow…

Purchase the Gospel

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
