You're at least trying to feed a Filipina's family and that is good enough as a sign of good will.

Such regions are even present in the Netherlands. Well, at least we know where they are; that way you can keep the more zealous part of the population more or less under control.

It's not a public school or a private religious school. Shouldn't be happening, even in the South.

To be fair, the translation of the Bible in the native European languages can be considered relevant for the development of European literature in general. Like it or not, the book has been quite influential.

And you were saying this is a secular school? Well, looks like they've been infiltrated by the religious right or UKIP. Run, Divair! Run like the wind!

The teacher was saying this, aye. We're having a debate on feminism in a week, too. Three guys vs three girls (none of them have strong opinions on it, she just chose them). Me and another bloke are moderators.
