It certainly has been the kiwi Catholic way - as well as Catholics worldwide - in New Zealand for the last seventy years that I know of. If that's what they want to do in the name of their religion, let them. It's not causing anyone any problems. Live and let live. Don't be such a bigot. And learn how to spell the kiwi way: offence, not offense. That's the american spelling and they don't know any better. You should know better than that.	Roscoe (6288)
1396629	2015-03-18 19:34:00	Off topic, but its not just spelling: That's the american spelling and they don't know any better Its also the dates, AFAIK its mostly the Americans who use the Month / Day/ Year format, most other places use Day/Month /Year. Was in the bank yesterday and heard a person say the date was written by a guy from America, - they are always backwards :)	wainuitech (129)

Now the language police here are rearing their ugly heads. I find offensive that you try to tell me how to spell. If you don't watch out I'll cast a spell on you..	paulw (1826)
1396632	2015-03-18 22:45:00	Well some religions are certainly strange. My Church removed my biscuits from the cake sale........again!!! I don't know what their problem is....... I just used a dog bone biscuit cutter........ cut them in half and decorated them!!! I thought they looked rather good!!! 6301	B.M. (505)

1396634	2015-03-19 02:23:00	.... That's the american spelling ... which I actually prefer. :-) american should be capital A , btw . Pot, kettle, black ? :p And who is to say what is the correct spelling anyway. Language evolves/morphs into something completely different from that of say 200 years ago. I fully acknowledge my poor spelling and lack of spell check (FF let me down on that one) . We will all be writing & talking txt speak soon enough, its happening already (now that does annoy me)	1101 (13337)
1396635	2015-03-19 02:56:00	Sorry but I disagree. as a Buddhist myself I have seen the poster and did not find it offensive. I have seen many statues of the Buddha used as incense holders or as garden ornaments by non Buddhists. Buddha was a man not god. I think MushHead has it right, if they did find it offensive a fine would have been more appropriate.	Fastrat (10735)
