pope?


um, i think this guy is a little behind the times... he is bitching about the injustices that happened in this country hundreds of years ago. wake up! its 2008 and yes we have a lousy track record with those ancient issues but there is a lot more happening in the world these days and maybe he should be updated on some current issues. i dunno. can anyone else think of something a little more pertinent than the suffering of the slaves brought to this country and the massacred locals we stole all this land from. how about this new regime of baby killers and pedophiles we seem to be breeding at an alarming rate! or that we have more people in jails than any other country in the world!!! huh, call me insensitive but cant we move on in the religious sectors and confront modern day problems? why is it the extreme religious folks are stuck in the dark ages.... and come on do we really still need a pope? a German pope? huh.


note: i know nothing of religion and its practices, this is a biased rant from someone with no understanding of faith and god... so you'll have to excuse me for my ignorance....

If we all had to have knowledge of a subject before we had a rant we would all be buggered.
'Knowledge ' often precludesthe observer from spotting the bleedin obvious.....so carry on ranting I say :-)

Well, I'm a' hatin' on this pope because he was a brown shirt in his youth...yes, I know he says he was forced, he's made amends, but fuck him. Oops, I said it. I said fuck the pope. Sorry to people who like the pope, but I'm not one of 'em. I don't have a general beef with popes, and certainly not with catholics (as hubby is one), just a personal beef with this particular pope.

And what's with the pedophiles.

I like what beast said.

I think I'm going to make a new award. It's going to read "FTP." And I think we should all get one. Damage control. What an ugly thing. Hurt kids and then try to make it all okay with a whole bunch of rhetoric. Hummmmmmmm. Sound okay to you? Nope. You can't undo what you've done. You simply can't. Ask any kid.
