Wonderful. :headshake

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) Full disclosure, I've been recognized for my work with youth through both the Catholic and Methodist Churches. I consider myself Catholic. Yes, a tiny percentage of Priests have been committed terrible acts against youth boys and girls. They have violated a trust and those acts ripple far beyond just the people involved. Further, the Church acted in a manner that was inconsistent with Church teachings and more in the interest of the institution that its members. The same can be said for Doctors, Teachers, Nurses, Camp Counselors, Scoutmasters, Police, and other people who were entrusted with children and took advantage of them. The Catholic Church has been the ones in the headlines and takes the brunt of the publics' outrage. To be more outraged when this was a person who by their position in life should be more trustworthy is using faulty logic. To be more outraged that this was a religious leader, means one would be less outraged if this was a plumber or engineer or short order cook at McDonalds. We are all humans with human strengths and weaknesses. We should be equally outraged when an adult takes advantage of a child. I saw the cartoon of Jesus and it pained me to see my Savior the brunt of this joke. Was I offended? Yes. I also know that my God is a strong God and this will not change that. I saw the dollar sign on a medal around this caricature's neck and it reminded me that not all religious leaders are in it for the right reasons. Some see it as easy money and prey on people who trust them. All people of faith should be alert for those unscrupulous individuals who seek to defraud believers because the bad person thinks we are easy marks. We should bring the same skepticism that we bring to car salesmen, attorneys, Doctors, and politicians with us to Church. Of course this is all interwoven and interrelated. Con men, pedophiles, and crooks of all shapes and sizes, prey on trusting people. They look for victims. They find them where they find them. Overall you are safer in Church than a bar, ballpark, or walking down Milwaukee Avenue. Post of the year, Tex! Very well written.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 04:01 AM) I like the sigs and avs. I shouldn't have to make an all or nothing choice because of one inconsiderate person. Amen!

Wait a minute. If it blew back in did he ever really litter?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 16, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention (while others just seem to have forgot), WE GAVE THEM THE WEAPONS!! Doh! And, so we should just turn away and not hold them to any kind of human rights standards? :rolly

QUOTE(Chisoxmatt @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) Very clever. To say the least. I love loopholes!

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) I think the holliday thing would work aslong as it stayed on Tuesday. Because if you switch to Monday or Friday, people will just take a 3 day vacation and possibly go somewhere. Yeah, to the "Bible belt" to vote Democratic.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) Do they still run the Eagle Man commercials? Oh yeah. In Spanish, too.

Married, 5 years. 2 daughters. I told my wife "Happy Valentine's Day" as I was leaving this morning. She laughed and said "Same to you." The day is a joke and we both view it as such.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) I think the first was because he was using Fox (or Faux) News as a source so he could not be accused of using a commie, liberal, pinko etc. etc. source. I think the was a fly in the face to the "Iraq is great after the elections" pap that is going around The second was of a "Hey, its just an Iraq thread!" jokin' about the other discussion going on in the thread & I don't think had to do with the information that followed it. It may not be the real meaning but its an alternate interpretation that I'd throw out there while I'm sitting here drinking Mt. Dew and eating bagels (the breakfast of college champions ) And his about enjoying the thread about death?

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) Everybody who supported the neo-conservative hawks knew that this sort of death was imminent since the military doesn't use sunshine & rainbows to complete the job they were put into doing in Iraq. So when its discussed, I don't see why the hawks get so defensive -- don't be mad at the anti-war people bringing up the cost when you should be angry at the neo-conservative hawks that started an un-Constitutional war that is antithetical to the precepts of the republic in which we live. And his calling Rumsfeld "Dumsfeld" is pretty fitting seeing how this is just one of his many lies: http://www.toehold.com/~kyle/k5/rumsfeld.html Following up links about death with a or a is bulls***.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) I don't even care who teaches it. Parenthood is a lesson just like anything else in life, and just like somethings, there are people who can't do it. We don't just give people the keys to a car and say "have at it", but yet anyone can raise a child. Its just sad really. That poor child. A few years back there was a bill before Congress to make Planned Parenthood offer lierature on adoption. PP fought it and the bill never passed. Now, why would "Planned Parenthood" fight something like that? Why does the left fight against notifying parents of a minor seeking an abortion? Pro Choice or Pro Abortion?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) He seems to be the only one enjoying this thread. Death is funny, isn't it?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) I'm starting to think instead of abstence or protection, they need to start teaching about adoption. This is just sick. The won't let us. Separation of Church and State and all.

My God. What the f***! You don't want the kid? Stop f***ing! Close your legs! Take the kid to a hospital! Kill these two immediately! Sorry. I'm pissed off. I've seen enough!
