Current Events - October 2006

You hear about pedophiles searching out little kids over the internet, but what about the young girls that are out there trying to attract people to come look at them stripping or worse. Is that not just as bad? I have a myspace page and I get invites to groups all the time to these web cam groups and most of the time it's young girls with provocative live webcams. I got an invite just a little while ago and I actually looked at her page and she had all kinds of personal information there for everybody to see. What would these girls parents think if they knew?

People are using the term "cut and run" .. like we are cowards if we pull out of this unfinished war where over 3,000 troops have been killed. Yet, for those of you who are old enough to remember the Vietnam War, or look back in the history books. You will find that when President Johnson left office, and had about 500,000 troops in Vietnam .. ( he kept building up troops as told to do .. ).. When Republican Richard Nixon came into office he had a "secret plan" to get us out of Vietnam. It was eventually called: "Leaving with Honor". Vietnam was a war we lost, the first one for America. Yet he realized it was time to pull out. What is the difference today? The Conservative Neocons want people to feel guilty for getting our men home. "Cut and Run" .. is just a rotten label or slogan to use .. when we did the same thing in Vietnam .. Nixon said .. "Leaving with Honor" . What is the difference between today and then ? Anyone care to say ? Esp. the Conservative NeoCons ???

Who else here thinks this is just sad on the Republican Party's part? These guys go around with the GOP-crazed Jesus crispies acting like they are the messiah themselves, preaching religious virtues and morally-ethical standards, then you find out they do sickening acts like this, molesting children. The ultimate slap in the face. I mean I don't condone what Clinton did,he should've received more punishment than what he did. But at least it was with a grown consenting woman. This is some poor kid, that's just vile any way you look at it. Be you Democrat or Republican, if you stand by this guy then I damn you all and hope you burn in hell for condoning acts of violence and abuse towards children like the Catholic Priests.

I say this from a non-religious stand point as I choose not to be very religious. I say this from a stand-point of what is simply right and wrong.

8th Oct 2005 was the day when a hi-intensity quake of magnitude 7.2 jolted the northern areas of Pakistan incl the Islamabad Capital Territory, Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas. More than 55000 people died and about 2000 still remain unknown. This was rated by many as the worst disaster to strike Pakistan after independence and was the worst natural disaster exceeding in magnitude the Quetta quake that striked in 1930 before indep. & took the lives of around 30,000 ppl.

Albeit the Earthquake Relief and Rehabilitation Authority was formed shortly, it still has to go a long way to bring the affected ppl to their normal lives again- many still await their financial assist. from the govt and NGOs & many others still do not have a proper shelter..

No matter how much you dislike pakistan or its people due to any personal or other reason what do you - being as neutral as you can be- think of this tragedy and what steps you think can be taken to avoid such calamities in world as a whole?

Why do muslim leaders not have pride and provide for their people, Gadaffi, Ahamijead, all have oil. The arab/muslim nationalisim must be made to work, they should be forced to take all their unemployed and give them jobs. Its not rocket science instead of channeling their energies into funding terrorisim the oil that the white man discovered for them and developed for them and then bought from them with european currency should be made to look after their own people from europe and resettled in muslim countries. Now whats wrong with that.

If he is, would this pose a threat to other nations (especially the US)? Would this lead to a war? Would that war involve the US? Would the war be like the 2nd Korean War or the 3rd World War? Who would support the North Koreans? I'm 14 and I'm kinda concerned but I don't know what will happen if Kim Jong il decides to attack another country.

Don't get me wrong because I don't think the demos are any better at all. I just thought maybe others would like to make their say on what they think about this issue. How can a person trust a party if they are not what they say they are? Kind of two faced if you ask me. I don't care if a person is gay or not. Why would they need to hide things to get a job? I am more down meaning thumbs down (when in the hell did the meaning of being down with something turn in to a thumbs UP meaning? that is so backwards.) with someone when they lie.

Talk of drafting doctrine that says unbaptized babies go to heaven
VATICAN CITY - Vatican theologians are leaning toward revising centuries-old teaching that babies who die without baptism go to limbo instead of heaven, officials said Friday.
“All of us have hope for the babies” that they will go to heaven, under the revised thinking on limbo, said the Rev. Luis Ladaria, a Jesuit who is secretary-general of the Vatican’s International Theological Commission.
The commission, which advises the pope and other top doctrinal officials of the church, has spent the week debating the question of limbo in view of preparing a document.
Although Catholics have long believed that children who die without being baptized still have original sin and are thus excluded from heaven, the church has no formal doctrine on the matter, Vatican officials have noted.
Theologians have taught that such children enjoy an eternal state of perfect natural happiness, commonly called limbo.
The theologians, including clergy and laity, were holding a final session Friday evening. But Ladaria said the theologians have not reached the point of drafting a document.
Italian state TV reported Thursday evening that the document would be ready next year.
“That could be very possible,” Ladaria said. But “when it will be ready to be published, should they (the Vatican) decide to do so, doesn’t depend on” the commission.
Ladaria made his comments during a break in the debate, speaking by telephone from the Vatican City guest house hosting the meeting.
Since both Pope Benedict XVI and his predecessor, John Paul II, have urged the theologians to study the limbo question, a document is widely expected to be made public.
Benedict celebrated Mass with members of the commission Friday, but his homily, a reflection on theologians’ work, did not touch on the limbo debate.
Ladaria’s hopes for the non-baptized babies’ fate after death echoed the optimistic opinion by an Italian bishop who is on the commission.
Asked if the document will “tip the balance in the favor of heaven” for babies now believed to go to limbo, Archbishop Bruno Forte told state TV, “I hope so.”
Archbishop William Levada, the San Francisco prelate who last year became the Vatican’s guardian of doctrinal orthodoxy after Benedict assumed the papacy, has described the need to resolve the limbo question as a pressing one.
Levada has cited an increase in the number of non-baptized babies in societies he said were marked by “cultural relativism and religious pluralism.”
Ladaria in an interview last year with Vatican Radio described the long-held view on limbo, as a state where the babies enjoyed “natural happiness” but had no vision of God, as “being in crisis.”
Any document on limbo would likely reflect Benedict’s nature, as a career theologian, to spell out the Church’s stand on limbo in a well-developed theological argument.

Why did we REALLY go to war with Iraq? I know the trite statement of freeing the people; however, if that were true - why don't we go to war with congo. They are in more dire straights than iraq ever was. Could it be because Iraq has a lot of natural resources the U.S. wants(or at least U.S. people in high places wants)? I know places like congo doesn't have any good natural resources that the U.S. could benefit from. Am I the only one who sees this? Just curious on your thoughts!!!

I do know this, 100 hundred years from now - George W. Bush won't be the great president he thinks he is going to be. He won't be the president everybody says changed the world for the better.

The US will respond with an urgent quest for "sanctions" Bolton says that if they do test, the next day in North Korea will be completely different. The Big One is going off 60 feet below ground level. The blast could trigger an eartquake. The US is not ready to launch dependable missiles. The whole word waits. All we can hope for is that the missile does not go astray...I imagine.
It looks as though North Korea was not kidding, I'd say.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6 — A documentary film featuring an extraordinarily candid interview with a former priest convicted of molesting children has heightened interest among law enforcement officials here in considering a criminal case against Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, says a prosecutor who has been investigating sexual abuse cases involving priests.
In the documentary, “Deliver Us From Evil,” the former priest, Oliver O’Grady, describes how he abused young boys and girls across central California over 20 years, including a period in the 1980’s when Cardinal Mahony was his superior as the bishop in Stockton.

The former priest, who lives in Ireland, said he was able to continue abusing children in part because of actions by Cardinal Mahony.
