That is tough one, I often find such are uninteresting and redundant after a while but I love classical art and art history and there are some religious pieces that are quite interesting and masterfully done. I think I will say Aye as an art lover.
Grimm's Fairy Tales
Big aye-- the gorier the better.
Gilbert and Sullivan?
one of the funnier lines in star trek is in the movie insurrection (great movie!), when worf has been away, but comes back to the enterprise and he and picard are in the process of trying to capture data, whose programming has malfunctioned. picard gets the idea they can distract data by singing a piece they had actually been rehearsing together earlier, and picard asks worf if he knows gilbert and Sullivan, and worf says sorry, he hasn't had the opportunity to meet all the crew yet!

aye to gilbert and Sullivan.
violins, or flutes, or other non "traditional" instruments in rock music?
Aye Loved the violin in Kansas' band
Same Question
Aye, I enjoy that fusion. I really like Irish Rock music that fuses traditional Irish instruments with modern rock.
Irish drinking songs?
Damn right! :)
As a child in the cradle, me nurse with her ladle
Was fillin' me mouth with an ocean of pap
When a drop from her bottle fell into me throttle
I capered and scrambled clean out of her lap
On the floor I lay crawlin' and screamin' and bawlin'
Till me father and mother were called to the fore
All sobbin' and sighin', they feared I was dyin'
But soon found I only was beggin' for more!
Ethnic pride?
Aye, a reasonable degree of pride in your ethnicity, nationality, forbearers and culture is a positive thing.
Ethnic price parades?
Well, I hate parades, so it's an easy nay for me.
Legally protected LGBT participation in religiously affiliated St. Patrick's Day Parades (even if the organizers say no)?
Nope, no legal protection for anyone or anything to attend private functions, they can feel free to protest though (the function, not my point of view).
Universal childcare subsidies?
The trouble is the city helps pay, and it provides the cops. This is the sort of thing we throw rocks over in Boston. :rolleyes5:
And sorry, but I'm really conflicted about socialized childcare. Answer it yourself, if you like, or someone else can.
Should Christians (continue to) exclude non-Baptized individuals from taking Communion?
Ah, well if the city is directly involved like that then everyone has to be accepted, LGBT men and women pay taxes.
Socialized childcare is crappy and inefficient, but hey, if you're going to socialize something anyway then it's a good pick.
And I don't know haha, is that an important issue? I'll leave it with the daycare question for someone else.
I don't know that it's such a good pick. Why wouldn't girls who don't want to work just get knocked up and collect a check for getting high to Judge Judy all day? Then you've got a cycle that's going to produce a lot more social problems and probably lead (eventually) to violence. I don't know what else to do about it, though. It's not the kids' fault.
For the other, it seems to me that if a church has universal pretensions, that it's Salvation needs to be available to all--not just to those who bought the tee shirt. But I suppose it depends on the importance one gives to Communion as a means to Salvation.
Driverless cars?
Oh, noooo....Lads, I beg thee. This is the one and only site filled with cheery folk replete with education and wit wot I ever did find on the internet. It is an oasis, a reprieve from the pedestrian effluvia found elsewhere, mercifully free of such spiritually impoverished and intellectually barren topics as politics. I plead, I implore, I offer trips to my backdoor--don't, I say, do not tarry in that woeful land.
"Catholics" do not comprise all of Christianity. Different policies are given by varied churches. No one should feel they have all the answers, however close they stick to what they believe. Has it ever occurred to any of us that we could be the ones in the wrong?
Aye on the cars.
Should we stay off religious topics on this thread?
Nay. We should all take it easy and continue to speak freely on this thread. :)
West Coast/Pacific Jazz?
