Well thats not good you are teased for being Christian. I was harassed in school for not being Christian. It's not right either way. Have you brought this to the principal? Religious harassment is wrong, and defiantly something that isn't an american ideal and you have a right to practice your beliefs without fear of mistreatment!

I've considered going to the Dean about it, but I probably wouldn't get much help.

I'd probably hear something like, "Hey, it's a college, we can't control what other people say, we can't be held responsible for their actions, just ignore them, blah, blah, blah..." I'd probably just get told to be more thick-skinned about it, yet if someone else of a less popular religion were going through the same thing, they'd probably get more help than I would.

I guess all I can say in response to their bullying is, "Hey, the Crusades weren't my idea, sorry."

Well that depends. If you initiate the conversation on that topic or prosylitize, and/or they simply state their opinions and move on, then you may not have any grounds. If they follow you, bring it up repeatedly, become extreme, abusive, demeaning, or prosylitize to you, then you have grounds to push for something to be done

I agree, too. It's nice to live in a country where freedom of speech is usually tolerated.

Great post, KristyHall.

Just to be different

Together We Are Canada
by Leanne Guenther

My name is British Columbia
The jewel of the West Coast.
Forestry and fishing are
The things that I do most.

Hi, I am Alberta
A wild west kind of place
With cows and oil and mountains
And lots of open space.

I am Manitoba
And I’m Saskatchewan
We’re the golden prairies
Where fields of wheat grow in the sun

Hi, I am Ontario
The home of government
To me each year the leaders
Of our democracy are sent.

Bonjour, I am Quebec
Here French is my language too
When I want to ask “how are you?”
I say, “comment allez vous?”

Newfoundland, New Brunswick
And Nova Scotia -- those are we,
We are Atlantic Provinces
The three musketeers of the sea.

I’m Prince Edward Island
And I know I may be small
But without me all the rest of you
Would have no potatoes at all.

The Yukon, Nunavut and North West
Territories are up north.
Through ice and cold and polar bears
Few brave souls venture forth.

Together we are Canada
One nation strong and free
With sharing, friends and happiness
Forever we will be!

Yes on occasion. This year was nasty because we had several snow falls, granted only about 6 inches, but our roads are built to keep from buckling in the heat, not to warm quick enough to make them passable in cold temepraturs and we didn't really have any snow plows or salt trucks, so the past two months our towns have been shut down for days at a time, several times in a row. It's obnoxious
