I didn't say that I didn't like Rome, or Kotex Boy for that matter. Just in small doses thanks.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Serious question. Do you honestly believe we will ever see the Catholic Church move towards the middle on issues like sex and sexuality? Yes I do.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Surely you're joking? This isn't the NFL draft. We aren't grooming quarterbacks here. The man is the leader of the Catholic Church. I simply can't believe the class some of you have shown in this thread. To joke about sports is one thing, to joke about religion is quite another. /remembers why I never spend time in this forum. Shame on me. There's been a lot of speculation about the kind of pope the college of Cardinals were going to elect and how that would reflect on the Church in general. For those of us who grew up in the faith and have felt alienated from it because of specific stands that a diocese or a Church in general has taken.

Jim Rome = Kotex Boy half as articulate.

Back in Black would be awesome too. But Thunderstruck is good too. AC/DC should have stopped recording after 1983 though.

Actually, I'd say the statement is very much Status Quo. I guess the pendulum hasn't stopped swinging away from Vatican II yet.

There have been a handful, but hundreds of years ago.

Hey, all I'm saying if the Sanctions were so freaking important to our vice president in January 2001, it should have been important to our vice president in May 2000. I'm talking about his position - not anyone else's.

From what I hear, the waves weren't what broke the windows, it was the waves knocking the outside hot tubs loose that slammed into the windows that broke the windows.

I think its safe to say that this Pope will not be as much of a window to the rest of the world as JPII was. I think they were looking for a Pope who would, for a little while, act as a caretaker and take care of bidness at home as opposed to riding in the Popemobile a lot.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) Or religious and are looking to see how the new pope will affect relations with other religions, nations, etc. Also, the man is a moral compass for the world--and it will be interesting to hear his stance on things. For example, his name suggests he will be a huge advocate for Peace. Although if his old name was Arnold, I'd be more worried.

Seriously, stay away from Norwegian Cruise Lines. Bad customer service.

A lot of us are Catholic.

Wonder if some dude tripped over it hunting cats...

There are portions of the Catholic Church, even in the College of Cardinals that aren't as conservative as you might think.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) Clinton did nothing but beat his chest like a tough guy and drop a few bombs on Baghdad after Saddam would kick out weapons inspectors. His "strategy" of dealing with Saddam did absolutely nothing to "contain" Saddam, in contrast to our current President's plan. You mean that they were more concerned about Clinton committing perjury, a federal crime. Or is that just a "technicality" to you? If Clinton hadn't lied under oath and disgraced the Presidency, he wouldn't have had those problems. It was HIS fault, not that of the "vast Right Wing conspiracy." :rolly Roll your eyes all you want, but he was tried for this "perjury" and found not guilty by a jury of his peers (the United States Senate.) If he had been a regular citizen, this would not have met the criteria for prosecution of perjury, by the way. And at least Bill Clinton took an oath to testify. Bush and Cheney refused to do such at every opportunity, even to the 9/11 Commission. Sure, he should be proud of himself. I guess its absolutely appropriate to subjugate what you believe in for a few million dollars. And sell out your own country too. I have a huge problem with someone willing to do business like that, and I certainly wouldn't trust them with the keys to my government. But hey, I guess your civic duty stops at the bank. Fair enough.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) ABC News? Already? Why am I not surprised? :headshake Or you could have read it in the Catholic press years ago.

Yeah, I can't say that I'm super pleased, but I think they wanted a pope who would have a shorter reign. Benedict XVI will probably be pope for a couple/few years. I'm kind of surprised they didn't choose an Italian pope.

Funny you should mention that, when there was a period of time when there was a perceived threat from Iraq that was more realistic than the one we were fed two years ago, Clinton wanted to act in Iraq. But Republicans were literally more concerned about who was blowing the President rather than the possibility of getting blown up. When it comes to foreign policy these days, responsibilty lies in both houses (President and Congress) more often than not, especially in situations of action rather than diplomacy. And all I'm saying about Dick Cheney is that if the flip flop fits...

I think an art exhibit picturing a fake stamp with a portrait of a president with a portrait of a gun to his head would not actually be a perceived threat. Or maybe I'm wrong.

I have a special space in my heart for the Starland Vocal Band. Maybe's its the tattoo I got of their logo on my right thigh in my boogie van.

Comparing what Bobby Fischer did to going to Cuba for a vacation is an awfully sympathetic thing for Bobby Fischer.
