Our Constitutional scholar will no doubt have something to say about that.
Does the display of the Ten Commandments offend you?
Is that the Constitutional test?

I guess your answer to my question is yes.

Whether or not I am offended has nothing to do with Constitutional analysis. I am beyond shocked a scholar does not know that.

I saw a bunch of old people sitting in front of a retirement home in their wheel chairs, and they looked sad and pitiful, they need to all be wearing cool sunglasses, while drinking margaritas, and while eating Super Stars with Cheese from Carl's Jr, with happy Rock and Roll music playing. And if they want they can have a joint. With a 5 star feast planned for dinner, and a good movie. They need to kick it up a notch and enjoy life more.

Salute,

Tony V.

I live in a retirement community.
This community is classed as "independent living"...ie; the residents can take care of themselves, or their partners/'outside help' can take care of them if they're ok mentally.

Next step is into 'Aged Care', for the mentally challenged whose partners can no longer look after, and single folk who are in wheel chairs permanently and need high care.

'Aged care' = the 'nursing home' of days gone by.

Yes, the 'young half naked women' of today, are the retirement community/aged care residents women of tomorrow...if they eat all their vegetables and live that long.
Yes, the 'young people' of today are the 'old people' of tomorrow.
Many don't realise that, and treat 'old people' with contempt.
Little do they know that what they allow for the old people of today will be what they'll be suffering when it's their turn in the "retirement village, nursing home bus...having been thru menopause, gained weight, ...and negotiating hair loss, restricted movement, failing eyesight, aches and pains, etc and ridicule from "young people" [not all].

I am very empathetic, sympathetic, and compassionate when it comes to other people, for the aged, as well as for the homeless, and the orphans, etc. And I hate these hard core assholes who only care about money and not about people. The most important thing is people, the money is just a tool to help people.

I fully support providing the best care for our elderly, as well as for our homeless, and for our orphans, etc.

And it is important for our writers and filmmakers and television producers to create good movies and television shows that provide a good example for people.

The Bible tells us to help the homeless and the poor, and to treat other people the way we want to be treated.

Salute,

Tony V.

America/the world needs more people like you in it.

Yes, indeed, no great surprise to anyone who lives in the real world and has been paying attention....not just dreaming.

There are least four different ways of counting the 10 Commandments, so any posting of them is making a choice among specific sects of Christianity as well as providing for preferential treatment of Christianity.
the 10 commandments are but a fraction of the 613 laws given by God to Moses and the JEWS.

603 of which are not included in the Louisiana mandate. So are the laws given to non-Judeo-Christian groups. What, if anything, is your point?
