I can give u example ,In indonesia,malaysia,pakistan which is predominantly muslim, christians are buried according to their religion in their own cemetry. it does not mean they dont like eachother.

Is it like the school system then, with private schools for everyone and people don't get to pick which one they go to, and then there are private ones that people are free to choose from because they pay to attend? Because like I said, we have public graveyards, but with the exception of those specifically for fallen soldiers and molitary personnel, they're really for people who have no family and may as well have an unmarked grave. They get buried in unfinished pine boxes and get a wooden croos as a grave marker. I was also under the impression that Finland was considerably more secular than much of the rest of Europe, especially since I read in here that circumcision was illegal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-1630087495969934582008-08-16T23:45:00.000-07:002008-08-16T23:45:00.000-07:00Hi jdamn13,I'm not sure about the situation in Fin...Hi jdamn13,<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about the situation in Finland, but Europe is not the US, and separation of church and state, even where it's official, is not what you might think.<BR/><BR/>In other words, I don't think cemeteries are private property, and I doubt the state allows anybody to be buried wherever they want to.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697128144253268996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-92091493495775445832008-08-15T21:34:00.000-07:002008-08-15T21:34:00.000-07:00Nobody should accomodate separatism.

If they think the Finns aren't good enough to be buried next to they shouldn't move to their country, and the Finns certainly shouldn't enable that kind of thinking, let alone put it into action. Furthermore, aren't ecemteries private property except for wards of the state and Jane/John Does? They are in the States, and I know that plots at Pere Lachaise run a quite pretty penny. If they want a separatist graveyard, they can buy the land and have one, just like if they want to segregate gyms they can buy them and pay to be separatist. The free world should not enable that at all, and certainly not a the expense of people who work and pay taxes for the benefit of people who live (and breed!) beyond their means and then parasitize the welfare state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
