For the record, my comments about other people's perceived racism is with quoted examples. The only time I labeled someone racist was when I "fixt" bravo11's post regarding lowing's banning, and that was more for a cheap shot at humour than any other reason.

Marine, you clearly have a point. But please look at the way you post also. As to lowing, wasn't me. As far as I know, it's a short temp and probably a deserved one. That being said, the call is made, the ban is short and soon over. Get over it.

Some people in here actually try to have mature conversations, but their posts are buried in the pile of feces so many others on here constantly regurgitate.

Can you people now get back on topic, and try to minimize calling each other assholes, idiots, twats, to die in a fire etc, and discuss the topic. Debate and serious talk looks like a bunch of kids going "my thoughts are better than yours and you're a poopyhead".

That goes for all of you, yes, ruisleipa.

I'm starting to wonder here. I can't recall seeing anyone working at Maccas wearing a hijab (yes, I googled for the name) but similarly if Maccas can't show in their safety policy that it's disallowed, could she in fact have a case?

Yeah, my thoughts too. So (with very limited knowldge of both McD's OH&S policy and the legal system) it essentially could come down to how the case is argued in court?

No it isn't.

The sane part of the globe i.e. Europe doesn't consider Scientology a religion and thus has been refused religious recognition in most of our superior lands.

While I generally agree that Scientology is a crazy cult, it seems like the only reason it is so readily recognized as such is because it's not nearly as popular as so many other religions.  Had it been created hundreds of years ago and amassed millions of followers, while say... Islam had been created 50 years ago, then we'd be laughing at Islam instead.

In either case, religion is belief in things that can't be proven or logically followed.

Ahhhhh fresh off my well deserved ban. 2 days was worth telling ruisleipa, exactly what I thought of him. To be fair, I suspect the mods would ban alot more people if I, like ruisleipa, constantly felt the need to hit the report button. Personally I can handle what people say to me without the need to run to my mod and cry.  I need to do better in remembering that.

I have hit the report button one time in my 4 or 5 years here, and that was merely to prove a point, and had nothing to do with actually reporting anyone. Oh well.

Now on with the show.
