OT: Re: Fwd: Re: [Groop]re: OT Amina Lawal]

While I donīt usually participate in off-topic discussions, I certainly donīt mind them. And if everyone else is having a say, they so shall I. If you have a problem with that Roland- take it up with the list admins and maybe all Groop members can vote on if we should ban OT discussions.

As for you comment- Roland, while I am not a believer myself, I didnīt mean anything about religion being good or bad. My point was that SOME PEOPLE MISUSE THEM- perverting a set of peaceful beliefs to govern their own interests. These are the terrorists, fascists and oppressors of democracy and freedom of the world. The people that donīt want YOU to have an opinion or think for yourself, but blindly do as they say. The people that want to kill you because donīt agree with them.

On a cheerier note. My congrats to the Groo team for a fine set of PVC figures!
