    At least it's funny. Even if it is at my expense. Comrade Stalin approves.

    Nope, Blade, no elevators in them buildings. It's the thumping of heavy boots on the stairs and a sharp knock on the door you're after.

    I've actually heard some morbidly hilarious period jokes about stuff like that but can't remember any of them now... go figure.

    No, not 'amen'. 'Amen' is an outdated- and bourgeois- word, belonging to the past of dead religions and kowtowing to the bourgeois. The proletariat must instead say 'long live comrade Stalin'.

    School cops hate-mail 'barrage'

    Anyway here is an article that has some relevance to the original subject, notice how it seems to turn alot of religious zealots rather agressive.


    http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/newshome/10313191/school-cops-hate-mail-barrage/



    The primary school at the centre of controversy over a decision to drop regular recital of the Lord's Prayer at assemblies has received an "avalanche" of hate mail.

    WA Primary Principals Association president Stephen Breen said Edgewater Primary School had been inundated with emails, letters and phone calls since The West Australian revealed the school had suspended the practice.

    A number of the emails were vitriolic and hurtful personal attacks on the principal, such as 'I will see you in the grave'," he said.

    "It's not very Christian."

    Mr Breen said the school had received more than 40 emails and about 20 letters from people unconnected with the school and reception staff were still getting abusive phone calls.

    "It was an avalanche," he said.

    Principal Julie Tombs would not comment yesterday but an Education Department spokeswoman confirmed the school was receiving correspondence from people across Australia "expressing their views".

    Edgewater dropped its 25-year-old tradition of saying the prayer at fortnightly assemblies because of concerns it went against the Education Act, which says public schools should not promote one religious faith over others.

    But it planned to continue using the Lord's Prayer "when appropriate", such as at Christmas and Easter.

    Mr Breen said the number of people criticising a school for having a balanced curriculum revealed how intolerant society had become.

    Some people had concluded that the decision had been made to cater for children of non-Christian faiths, but that was not the case.

    "It actually says something about the community, not about the school," he said.

    "It says that we don't seem to be tolerant of other people's beliefs and community-based decisions."

    Mr Breen said it was an unfortunate fact that many schools and principals had to put up with similar attacks on other issues.

    State School Teachers Union president Anne Gisborne said that public education should not be used to promote any particular religion.
    "There are ways in which government schools can build tolerance and acceptance of other individuals by ensuring that they're respectful of the various practices," she said.

    Now, now, don't argue. I'm sure comrade Stalin wants both of your monuments.
