of course now we have the internet and the bable fish website which does a decent enough job to figure out what is being said...

unrealted: hey Coordinator, I read an article a couple weeks ago about the czech republic not being very religious... something like only 19% of the people still believe in [a] god?... what's your take? the artcle was about europe in general being significantly less religious then the U.S. even though we share a common background...[/quote] Hey! I didn't want to reply in the thread, because it would be just too unrelated, you know. So I guess you are from the US, am I right? I am glad to hear that you read about the Czech Republic and Europe in general. We both know we have somewhat similar background. However to america went somewhat different people, so in America was different development then.

Well... Europe is somewhat religious. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia... and so on and on are still very religious countries and people go to church there regularly and are believers. Though it might be true that the US is more religious nowadays. And my republic? It's great exception in Europe, we are the only atheist country. It's funny, but as you said only 20% of the czech people believe in God. It even differs greatly in the czech republic... Well the west and centre of the Czech Republic is extremely unreligous (about 5% of believers). And the east of the Czech Republic is highly religious (that means more than 50%). I live in this region. I live in one of the most religious cities, Brno. And I am a christian, my whole family is christian.

So as you can see, there are great differencies even in the czech republic, but generally, the Czech Rep. is the only atheist country in Europe... hmm >_<;;

Do you want to know why my country is so unreligious? Because czech communism was extremely against the church. Czech communistic party were ruling this country for 40 years and they were arresting people who were representing the church, the religious people were in disadvantage at work, at school... everywhere. They used violent way to make my people atheist. Thank god I was born 2 years before the communistic regime fell apart...

well, i'm not a staff member anymore, so things may have changed since i was. if something was deleted with no explanation, then that is the fault of whoever deleted it. they are supposed to give a reason WHY something was deleted, and not doing so is actually against their responsibilities. i can't tell you why it was deleted because i don't know. i don't have access to the scans queue, and i don't know what your scan was off. usually scans are deleted because of the size was too small, or the quality was low, or it was too ecchi. another possibility is it may have been a duplicate, or a higher one may have recently come in, and they just deleted it without notification. sorry i can't be of help, but like i said, i'm not on staff anymore. a good staff member to bring this up with would be shinn. tell him you contacted me about it, and i fowarded you to him. it's a growing problem...i've been hearing a lot about how scans are deleted without a reason given : /
