Separation of state and culture

[Leafless]

We are all familiar with the 'separation of church and state', but what about the 'separation of state and culture'.

Actually state propelled culture is more discriminatory and devastating to a country than the aspect of 'separation of church and state'.

In a democratic society, are we not entitled to our own culture?

And if we are, why is the federal government in Canada constantley promoting the French culture and even the Aboriginal culture, cultures which are entrenched in our constitution and given special rights.

We are being attacked in a 'tribal sense backed by government' and most Canadians think this is okay, but scream concerning 'separation of church and state' which BTW is culturally oriented.

Here are interesting facts or reading pertaining to the French CULTURE.

So, it seems the general attitude or consensus (according to the number of replies) is to stuff religion and allow government to rule culturally.

Talk about a bunch of hypocrites.

Two hours?

More than two hours, to be precise.

Congratulations on being crazy and having a computer.

You forgot: "and having a lot of time."

Actually I have very little time compared to the other poster nut bars around here, some of who post 49 times in a single day with BD mostly always in the ranks of the top ten posters.

Well excuuuuuuuse me for having a desk job.

Really, do I need to once again point out the faulty logic involved in interpreting the response (or lack there of) to your topic as an indicator of agreement or non-agreement with your premises?

Interpret this:

An abundance of ball licking commies!

Is that an anagram?

What do you know.

According to "My assistant" I have posted 49 times today. Am I a poster nutbar? Most were likely between 12:00 am and 4:00am which to me is yesterday but whatever. My average is barely over 3, so pppfffffftttttt.

I believe that government should be culture neutral. However, I don't regard it as a constitutional imperative, either under the Charter or the US Constitution.

This is only natural concerning culture.

Culture is an automatic identifier of a countries characteristics.

For instance in this country without continual federal intervention, you would be hard pressed to separate cultural characteristics between the U.S. and Canada.

I think a country is in big trouble when its government has to artificially alter a countries cultural characteristics, in order to satisfy the characteristics of minority cultures who refuse to be associated with the countries main evolved cultural characteristics.

This can directly be compared to a nations religions in a pecking order as determined by its government, something that is absolutely discouraged in this country and supported by charter rights that include 'freedom of religion'.

But what about culture? Is that not also protected under the charters fundamental freedoms, "Section 2(, which states freedom of thought , belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other means of communication."

Does this not override government cultural intervention?
