re the excommunication discussion from the way-way-bb's - Stephen Mar 11, 13:35 33
- [deleted]
- my thoughts regarding excommunication in general - znufrii Mar 11, 13:48 9
  - and - znufrii Mar 11, 13:56 8
    - and scientists used to think the world was flat. - TFox Mar 11, 14:01 1
      - point taken. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 14:04
    - leeches do have a legitimate medical use. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 14:00 3
      - as do maggots. -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 14:01 2
        
        let's leave the bishop out of this -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 14:03 1
        
        I would've gone with "step-father" instead of "bishop" myself... -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 14:04
    - and they used to burn smart women at the stake -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 13:59 1
      - not at all relevant to the thrust of my post, and frankly, they burned a lot of people at the stake. -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 14:01
- I have no problem with the church making a pronouncement against some of those involved. - tRuMaN Mar 11, 13:42 2
  - We agree on the dad. - Stephen Mar 11, 13:44 1
    - I am assuming it is because it is alleged. The father is in police custody but hasn't been convicted yet. - Roger More Mar 11, 13:46
- You say "Is one life more valuable than another?" The church sure thinks so, the life of the 9 year-old is worth less than the babies apparently - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 13:39 15
  - If I wanted to, I could make the argument that "life is at risk" is different from "life will definitely end". - TFox Mar 11, 13:42 14
    - You could do that...but that's gambling with someone elses life...which is what that bishop wanted to happen - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 13:45 11
      - To play the devil's advocate side, from the priest's perspective choosing who lives and who dies is God's responsibility, not the doctor's - Roger More Mar 11, 13:48
      - You would be gambling with one life instead of definitively ending two. I can see why some might call that the right course of action. - TFox Mar 11, 13:47 9
        
        Which wasn't the intent of my post, and why I think i'll just go do some shopping. - Stephen Mar 11, 13:52 2
        
        I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, man, at all. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 13:53 1
        
        No, no, I have no issue with what you're saying at all. - Stephen Mar 11, 13:56
        
        And this line of thinking isn't crazy talk? The doctors feared for her life...I'll trust THEIR medical judgement over the Bishop who has none. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 13:50 5
        
        Careful with the implications that those who think aborting a fetus is ending a life are "crazy". - TFox Mar 11, 13:52 4
        
        I explained my opinion on the BB, I respect the opinions of the anti-choice crowd up to the point where they value the child over the mother - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 13:54 3
        
        "anti-choice". cute. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 13:55 2
        
        see, restraint...you have no idea what I wanted to call it. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 13:56 1
        
        yes i do. i've seen the types of things you think up when you decide to let the hateful and ugly out of its cage. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 13:57
    - but at that level of abstraction, we may as well be talking about crushing pebbles. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 13:43 1
      - I am totally playing devil's advocate, for sure. I am just pointing out that I can see how the argument could be formed if you were strongly pro-life. - TFox Mar 11, 13:44
- Can you and I agree that the person who impregnated her oughta be stoned to death? :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 13:39
- while I agree that the Church has the right and duty to enforce its own laws, I would point out that - Reagen Mar 11, 13:37 1
  - and the life of a 9 year old over the church's teachings -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 13:40

      - I take that back. It'll be when the world ends in 2012. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 11, 13:43
- There's no one happier today that John McCain lost the election than a young man in Alaska named Levi Johnston. -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 13:37
- hmmm...no, didn't see that coming a mile away by any means... -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 13:35

  - Ugh - can I ask you - or other work out ladies - Epiphany Mar 11, 13:24 10
    - The only way to really resolve this is for you all together and try on different bras. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 13:38 3
      - hee -- nm - Epiphany Mar 11, 13:42 2
        
        the fact that my girlfriend didn't respond leads me to believe I'm going to be in the Timeout Chair later. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 13:55 1
        
        do not give me that - you live to get put in the chair - Epiphany Mar 11, 14:00
    - When my wife runs, she wears an insane amount of bras. - Inigo Mar 11, 13:34 1

Pope to bishops, "Oops, my bad. Didn't know that the Internet was watching. Will do better next time I un-excommunicate someone." -- (link) - znufrii Mar 11, 13:16 12
- What an *asshole*. He's not sorry he did it. He's sorry he got caught! -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 13:24 1
  - That piece is decidedly sketchy on the details to be making a determination either way on whether or not he's an asshole. -- nm - Loyola Mar 11, 13:36
- but honestly, I see the Pope's point here. Reconcilliation isn't about whether you're a swell guy, it's about whether you accept the rules of Catholic - Reagen Mar 11, 13:24 1
  - agreed, I don't disagree with his original decision to lift the excommunication, but he handled the resulting situation ineptly. -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 13:25

  - Heh. You know what it is? Ikariam.com vs. Ikariam.org. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 13:22 5
    - that's it. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 13:28
    - ...and merging sounds unlikely. I think I'll restart on Ikariam.com. Amoxy? Will? How far along are you? - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 13:24 3
      - I can't check at work but will check you out later -- nm - amoxy Mar 11, 13:41

"LEAVE CORPORATE AMERICA ALONE!!!!" *cries* -- (link) - JP Morgan CEO Mar 11, 13:12 11
- Somehow he seems to think that Corporate America is not deserving of vilification. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 11, 13:19 5
  - Personally, I do think it has become too broad reaching. - pmb Mar 11, 13:29 2

- "...if U.S. officials start cooperating..." That's right. Bend over and take it. Then give us money. Now shut up! -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 13:14 4
  - "...refrain from the 'vilification' of corporate America..." Sounds a lot like "Now is not the time to play the blame game." - Mop Mar 11, 13:18 3
    - Now it's time to play Hungry Hungry Hippos! -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 13:27
    - in my experience, the people who want to avoid playing "the blame game" are usually the ones to blame. -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 13:20 1
