not true - there are PLENTY of low-level or entry level 'jobs out there', but people today are SO spoiled that they don't want to take those jobs because they are seen as beneath them. Why can't someone have a job

...as is the Church of Scientology, but it is still considered a 'religion' in much of the world. Religion is about control. Religion is about conformity and forcing people into a narrow view of faith in a specific thing (see the

Then one must ask, could 'Apple' (or any corporation/idea that promotes a 'lifestyle brand') be considered a 'religion'? Harley Davidson, Amazon, Oracle, Crossfit, Microsoft, Veganism, etc... as 'foll

Nope. threats are one thing, national security is classified, and covered under other laws. the "Obscenity" you cite is more art/visual, and not verbal. verbal obscenity is covered as part of free speech/freedom of e
