I've been dangerously cut off by a couple SUV/Cellphone combos lately. Oddly it's never small-car driving cell phone users, and the incident generally involves me slamming the breaks while the enormous SUV driver moves on and continues their conversation obliviously.

Now, before you go on a rampage, let me tell you that it is sick and disgusting for what they did. They all deserve punishment and to no longer be a priests.

However, priests are only one occupation. Most pedophiles are other occupations. You do not have to be a priest to be a pedophile, and becoming a priest doesn't make you a pedophile.

I know people hold them to a higher standard, but they're human beings. They are not gods. They are vulnerable just like any other human being. Becoming a priest does not turn you into an unemotional warrior monk.

Pedophiles are all bad and they are all disgusting. They all deserve the maximum punishments possible. However, I just hate how people make fun of priests and stuff like that just because a handful of them became pedophiles.

What do you think? Everywhere I go there's something about sports and athletics. On Disney Channel, they air these commercials about getting out and play, and so does Nickelodeon, but no one ever talks about education or learning. Should we put more emphasis on education and knowledge for our future generations?

It's easy to ridicule the celebs, but I do have sympathy for them (and Brittney's new/ex driver for example) when the paparazzi completely surrounds their car and basically pins them in.

If it were me, I'd install a truck or diesel train horn, blast it 3 times as a warning, then gun the engine, and whoever got run over, that would be their problem. Of course, that would get me thrown in jail. But I don't think it should.

As long as paparazzi do their job from a distance without physically interfering with someone's ability to move about freely and live their life, I don't have any problem with that. That's the price of celebrity.

But when the get in people's faces and interfere with their lives physically, I think it falls under the same rule as feeling physically threatened by an intruder or being assaulted, and then you have the right to fight back by whatever means necessary, even if it causes the attacker/intruder injury, or even death.

What do you think?

He says that athiestists were to blame for many of the greatest injustices in history. What about the wiping out of entire civilizations "in the name of God" (Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, many native american tribes, aboriginal australians, many south pacific island cultures.....and on and on...)? How about the Holocaust and the churches "stance of non involvement"? What about the wars in the across the globe that have been raging for centuries over whose religion is right....Muslims v. Christians, Catholics v. Protestants.....? It seems to me that the pope needs a history lesson before making such narrow-minded comments!

Just curious to see what others think about it!


P.S. I was raised Roman Catholic, went to church every sunday, attended private catholic schools, and am a self taught history nut. This is one of the most ridiculous comments I have heard from the church in recent years.

Read the featured article on the Bristish teacher teddy bear, and ask yourself if we should risk American lives for these people? Screaming for the execution of a woman because she allowed the children to give a teddy bear a name. Why would you want to save a country that hates anything that doesn't adhere to a hardline version of Islam. Isn't this like saving the Taliban? When will you people learn anything from the south vietnamese?

Is civilised society measured by how we treat children, the disabled, or infirm, or old .Or is it decided on wether corporal punishment is part of society. the islamic world is seen as medevil because the hang people in public but wasnt this country still hanging people in the 50s ? women have only had a voice in society for over a hundred years. within civilised society we are still raped beaten ,stalked and murdered by various sickos. how can we call ourselves civilised when our children are at risk from pedophiles when they are asleep in there beds, on a list of importance theres children then dogs, quite apart from the fact these poor babies,that suffer abuse in any form, their human potential is not brought into the equasion we have no idea who these abused and murdered children could have grown up to be,what potential they had to offer our society. It seems to me there is a much harsher punishment for stealing goverment money than for abusing and killing a child.

I would think Northern girls because they tend to be less religious, less conservatives.....on the other hand, I heard they are more stuck-up so maybe that makes Southern girls more sluttier.

What do you think?

In politics I see so many narrow minded people that choose only one party and defend it no matter how bad their candidates may be. Then they sling mud at anyone who has a differance of opinion.

Same thing in religion. Have you ever heard some of these people hate talk eachother. It's hyprocracy at the higest level. They preach about love through hate.

This makes me shake my head every time I see this crap. With out counterpoint there is no point in your question. They post their stupid questions and only award points to the people that tell them what they want to hear. I personally only want to hear from those that opose me, this way I can research their opinions and get a better overall perspective on things and issues and then re-evaluate my beliefs. This is know as wisdom and logic. Keep an open mind and expand your horizons or live within the confinds of your own mind.

So back to my original question, why are people so close minded insted of being more open to suggestion?
