What are the laws for sign posting in public places?
Q. I manage a small office building, and the owners want to deny a sign that the tenants have proposed for to hang in the commom area because of spanish writing. Is that legal? or is there some sort of discrimination laws against it?
A. I think that would be up to the property owner- quite frankly.
The people that own the building should have the right to say what gets hung on the walls- don't you think?
Try looking up your city ordinances on line- involving sign posting.
I know outside ( like when you put a sign in someone's yard political signs, yard sale signs) you have to the landowners permission.

what was the economic effect of the protestant reformation?
Q. specifically how did the banning of simony, or the selling of church positions, and the sale of indulgences, of the sale of forgiveness of sin effect Europe after the Protestant reformation?
A. Simony and the selling of indulgences outside of Church authority were actually minor issues. The Catholic Church was widely popular, as evidenced especially in England and Spain. Less so in Germany and Holland. These weren't actually the names of the countries, but you get the general geography. It was the Holy Roman Empire in political control, various city-states with enormous power and factions vying with factions for control of property. Because the Church had been given so much property and money WILLINGLY by devout Catholics, it was slowly gobbling up a lot of territory. There was an anticlerical movement about that did not like any clergy because they were exempt from taxes, didn't have to do civic duties like town watch or fire detail and they were specially privileged. (Of course, the priests then as today devoted their entire lives to service to their fellow man. The depiction of a violently corrupt Catholic Church has been totally debunked by modern scholarship. Priests didn't have lives of their own, though there were some instances of problems with priests worse that simony or the selling of indulgences. The Church took care of that in time. But the economic effect of the failed Reformation came at the point of violence. Spain sent troops into the Netherlands to put down the Calvinist inssurection (heretical sects were forming based on the delusional rantings of Luther and Calvin). The imperialists who jealously wanted what the Catholic Church had mounted violent rebellion. But this was political, not theological. The Spanish were acting as "guardians" of the Catholic faith and actually vying for control of the Holy Roman Empire always. But anticlericalism in Germany was too strong to overcome. The barons and dukes there had little trouble using Luther as a populist humanistic rabblerouser. Luther didn't want that, he wanted Catholicism to bend to his will (though most of what he wrote he plagiarized from St. Augustine). But Catholicism theologically never bent to any individual will. It was always based on word-of-mouth starting with Jesus Christ, and it produced the Bible to support its original founder, not to replace Him. The technology of the printing press was the key to Luther's succcess. Just one of those things. His genius was as a propagandist, which is probably why Goebbels and Hitler used Luther's theology as the basis for the official religion of the Nazi state (not to mention Luther was a wholly anti-Semitic bigot). The barons in Germany were able to acquire much land, property and treasure from Catholic Churches they attacked and overtook. Same thing happened in other places. This had two effects. One, aristocracy gained riches from the Catholic Church, riches that had been given freely from the congregations. Two, Counter-Reformation solidified the Church and loads of Calvinists recanted their heresy and came back to Mother Church. And the real key was the New World. Spain began pouring gold from Americas into the Church and used the silver to support its armies. This all led to Spain no longer caring for control of populations. Its aristocracy was swimming in heavy metal (they couldn't go through it all if you gave them 5,000 years!). So it became less and less an issue after it ran the Muslims out of its southern territories. It then became a maritime nation as it helped the Catholic Church colonize what would become Florida and the southern United States.
England probably would have been much like Spain at this time had it not been for Henry VIII going crazy and murdering everything in his way to personal satisfaction of his lust. Anticlericalism was afoot in England, but based on the modern research into the support of Catholic parishes there in the 100 years before him, its clear the Catholic Church was more popular. Had he not officially broken from Rome, England may well have been in the New World 100 years before Jamestown as part of a missionary effort for the Catholic Church. And its Jamestown debacle wouldn't have gone down in history as such a massive failure. However, with Henry and the anti-clerical factions biting at the bit for control of property, the secular world there also stole a load of Church land, property and treasure.
But none of the thievery of Catholic wealth ever amounted to much for the theives. The Church never missed a beat largely because of its inate capacity to heal itself. (Read your Scriptures, and you'll see how Christ likened the Church to a vine.) What occurred was the downfall of city-states and the rise of nations like Germany and Holland within the Holy Roman Empire.
Main point is, the major effect of the failed Reformation movement was to instigate violent conflict over land and control of territory among imperial factions. The economic impact of corruption within the Catholic Church was short-lived and almost inconsequential, except as a tipping point for the unfaithful and ambitious.
Over time now, Calvinism can certainly be said to be the impetus of capitalism. We can be thankful for that I suppose. While John Calvin completely failed to understand individually what the Catholic Church knew collectively, you cannot legislate reform. You can only guide the sheep, feed the sheep, as Christ said. All of Calvin's delusional rules and regulations utterly failed to achieve any unity among Christians. Today, they are a travesty; the only legacy is separation from the fullness of the One church Christ commanded us to form. There isn't a single problem within the Catholic Church that isn't in the Reformed churches. Not one. And actually, there are other problems that don't exist in Catholicism because the splintering of Calvinism into tens of thousands of different sects has led to incredible heresies. But it did give the spark to capitalism. Praise.....

How have illegals negatively affected your neighborhood?
Q. I hear basically the same story from everyone everywhere. Once nice neighborhoods with neatly kept lawns and nice looking houses, where everyone knows each other and goes to each others garage sales in the spring, it is safe for the kids to play in the neighborhood, and crime is almost unheard of. Then a few neighbors move out for various reasons, and those houses are sold or more often rented out to illegals. Now the kids are bullied by the anchor kids, the once nice houses are run down, lawns are not mowed, garbage is left everywhere, crime is up, loud music blares at all hours of the day and night, property taxes go up to pay for graffiti and damage to public property, and property value goes down as the neighborhood is now a Mexican ghetto. And you don't go out your door unless you are carrying a gun. So, sound familiar? I knew a lady who lived in a nice neighborhood, until it became an illegal ghetto, and she was the only one left in the neighborhood from when they built it. The rest were all illegals. She kept to herself, but had to put up with cops chasing criminals through her yard, often damaging her property. Her noisy rude illegal neighbors threw garbage in her lawn every day which she had to pick up herself, she did not even complain until they started throwing dirty used diapers outside her living room window to stink in the hot summer sun. When she phoned them to ask if they would pick them up she was laughed at and later had rocks thrown through her window. Again she kept to her self as even her own family begged her to move out, she lived there 51 years and did not want to move. One night she walked two blocks to the convenience store to buy milk and eggs when she was beaten and raped by a man who followed her home from the store. She died the next day from her injuries. The man who attacked and raped her turned out to be an illegal alien, and lived 4 houses down from her! She was 76 years old. And the last survivor of her once nice neighborhood.
This happened a year ago this month. And this lady was a friend of my family. I continue to post her story in honor of her memory.
And to the pro-illegals that keep reporting this question and getting my account suspended, you will not silence me. You will not win.
@Rob,
I answered this last night!
This is (or was) a Middle Class neighborhood!
People do their OWN lawn and house work!
NOT EVERYONE IN THE 'EFFIN COUNTRY HAS ILLEGAL MAIDS AND CARETAKERS!
@Eric,
What fantasy world do you live in?
Illegals can live wherever a slumlord buys houses in, that INCLUDES nice neighborhoods!
After illegals trash the place the slumlords just don't bother to ever fix anything!

A. I live in a town where you use to know most everybody.We played outside at night chasing firefly's,catching worms to go fishing in the morning.We went to bed and did not have to lock your door.Not only my neighborhood but our town is being taken over by the Mexicans.You can not safely walk outside at night,you can not leave anything in your yard or it will be stolen.On our block almost all of the houses,including mine have been broken into.You can open the paper on any given day,and under the arrest it is 98% Spanish names.Very different place for kids then it was when i was a kid...its really sad.Wish Mexico would fix there own problems instead of sending them here.
