you are just jealous someone can use logical reasoning to figure simple things out.

How the hell did you come to the conclusion that I was jealous of your so called baboon like logic....I commented on your insensitive comment regarding a persons religious head dress.

You've obviously got far wider issues than the one's that have already been displayed.

Kind regards,

I comment on your ignorance and stupidity

Is it some revelation to you that SIKHS WEAR A TURBAN

unlike stupid idiots like you who have no brain I just said that I have noticed that there was

going into

so the logical assumption is that these people were sikhs (but i didn't ask so I don't know for sure) and there may be a meeting room there (but was it a sikh temple or just some meeting room) I was not sure if it was a wedding reception all I know. so what is wrong in saying how I come to my logical conclusion? your problem is that you are stupid, so loosen up your turban and let the blood flow into your brain.

OK, its a pretty recent thing as I remember it used to be something different before... now as people have occasionally been asking about this - you wouldn't know a telephone number to contact somebody for details or opening hours and somesuch?

BTW for future reference here's a pretty comprehensive list of religious and acquainted societies and groups http://www.uskonnot.fi/yhteisot/byreligion ... mind then not all have contact information directly there, but most have some sort of homepages... surprising maybe to some theres even a Buddhist wat in Sipoo Box run by a sole thai monk... so a bit of of everything for everybody. And mind you if you don't find what you seek - establishing a religious group and registering it is quite easy.

Pursuivant we all know Sikhs wear turbans...kind of doesn't need pointing out that's all! That was my sort of point! ....just didn't think you were subtle!

Kind regards,

Roo


P.s I would have thought a person of your intelligence wouldn't need so much visual aid. Take a leaf out of the Finn's book....think before you speak and don't talk to much, your making yourself look a little stupid!

I was writing to retarded people of your intelligence level who can't differentiate between the headgear of a sikh or a shiite imam* and who need pictures as you are illiterate tools. as I said it could have well been a Punjabi wedding as the street has a couple banquet rooms... so keep your opinions to yourself of what I write unless you have a better answer you stupid twat.

*the shiite mosque BTW is in Laajasalo mall above the post office

Hey,

Thanks for the heads up.

You guys dont have to argue over such a trivial issue. I am a sikh, and pursuivant, i read what you said about the turbans being all there and all , but i knew you were trying to tell me it "might" be that and you werent entirely sure whether it really was. I understand where you are coming from but on the other hand what roo might be saying is that maybe you should be more tactful in the way you put it i guess?

Anyway, to be really honest, its a really minute issue and hey, i dont find it offensive so it isnt really a problem but that's just me. It might hurt other people who are a tiny weeny bit sensitive.

Lets just blow this issue over and get on with whatever , relevant and constructive information that we can get out of this forum.

Cheers and thanks again roo and pursuivant.
