Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Isn't this plain enough? What's the cogency of forcing the displaying of crucifixes amongst diverse religious groups, when the crucifixes' owners do not unilaterally own the institution? One can call the tune only where one pays the piper!

    No religious material should be in a Public school.

    I can only imagine WHO was offended. My guess it was some Christian, Western Civilization hating person who was forced to immigrate to Italy.

      Good for Europe.

      Maybe they'll adopt a full separation of Church and State soon enough that will encourage liberty for everyone from Christians to Atheists.
