Yes I got the point about private schools the first time hence my reply, they should have that status revoked if they are a faith school.

You obviously don't get it.

You don't know it doesn't work as I don't know that it does but I believe it would make a difference. I also believe that schools should not be teaching religion to children but that's because I'm an atheist and I want a secular society. All things considered, it seems a good plan, it would get my vote.

You asked of an example of a country that had adopted the non promotion of any faith in schools. I gave you that example. I demonstrated that there is still religious intolerance. So I think it is fair to say that I do know that it doesn't work.

You said that taxpayers money does go to private faith schools (in the form of tax breaks) and I'm saying it shouldn't in fact, why should they get any tax breaks? If you can afford to pay for your kids education and wish to, then do so.

You have not proven that it doesn't work, how do you know that it wouldn't be worse in France if there were religious schools? Are the French more racist in general? Was it better or worse 100 years ago before they made the change? Far too long a timeframe in any case.

I said that ALL private schools are eligible for charitable tax status. I made the point to illustrate that the taxpayer loses out by these schools availing of these breaks, therefore the taxpayer also contributes to the segregation of people based on wealth. Should all fee paying schools be closed as well on that basis?

So the purpose of eliminating faith schools is to eliminate sectarianism. I demonstrate that in a country where faith schools have been eliminated there is still sectarianism.....proof that it doesn't work.

Are the French more racist in general?

.........evidently not.
 
That's funny, 'cos when I hover my mouse over it it clearly shows in't little blue bar at the bottom 'Naiomi-huge-giant-dick-cock'.
Only an Irish man would be fooled into that trick.

Oh and next time, try thinking off something better than 'www.news.net'. Maybe actually putting in URL make up?
Jeezus wept.

that wasnt for you <doh> theres lots of people on here falling for it ...edit your post with how to find out or forever be known as a rat <ok>
 
Afternoon rebelbhoy, you used the word "eliminate", I used the word "lessen".

My wording was not clear, private faith schools and indeed all private schools should not get any state help in my opinion. Although I'm really just repeating my words "If you can afford to pay for your kids education and wish to, then do so".

...........which is why they voted in Sarkozy...

Ok, so there is evidence that it doesn't eliminate sectarianism but non whatsoever that it lessens it.

So you can segregate kids along one line, but not another?
 
I don't know if it's my ability to type or your ability to read...

I did say there was no evidence that I knew of for or against my view that it would lessen bigotry.

I repeat: "if you're paying for it..."
 
No. I understood.

I just wanted clarity that there was nothing to support your assertion
but something to support mine.

and I will repeat.

You are paying for it.
 
The Netherlands has more Catholics than Protestants now.

But are outnumbered by the non-religous.

God Bless them.
