I would say than it is still a issue in this days, especially if the next president happen to be a republican.

As I understand it, this is a party (or two) that is advocating a certain law. Whether or not that law is based on a religious belief shouldn't matter.

I don't know if Indonesia has a clear rule regarding separation of church and state, like in the USA. But separation of church and state is supposed to free the government from the control of any specific religious organization, not separating the people from their religious beliefs.

So the people should still be allowed to form political parties and elect officials and push for laws that conform to their sense of morality and religious belief so long as it's done within the proper channel of the law.

Deals Postponed After Bloomberg Terminals Go Down Globally

Quote:
The U.K.’s Debt Management announced in a statement Friday morning that it was postponing a scheduled buy-back of government debt ”due to ongoing technical issues with the third party platform supplier,” and that bids already submitted would be declared null and void. A spokesperson confirmed that the supplier is Bloomberg.
Bloody Yanks.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

They just never learn, do they? The CCP leaders' actions are nowhere better than what Kaiser Wilhelm II did on his own between 1888 and 1914; everything they do is a carbon copy of what the Germans once did out of jealousy towards Britain.

Suicide bomber detonates in Jalalabad
Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

It is alleged that ISIS conducted the bombing. Are they trying to drag the Afghans in as well? Or are they picking a weak target as a show of force?

Either way, they (ISIS) are worth being exterminated like the Nazis of old were.

not Germany just colonial Europe, Might Makes Right.

nine tenth is possession of the law. Only the US has the fire power to move China of that island once it finish construction and for obvious reasons the US won't. The other country in the region don't have the power to do so. Every year China sit on that man made island every year China get stronger.

Obvious reasons? Sorry I didn't get you on that one.

And this isn't the first. A few more of them and it would take more than the USMC to sink the sandblocks.

So when it the 2nd D-day.

which is why the US won't/can't use force to push China off those man-made islands.
