CNN: catholic school dis-enrolls a kindergarden child because its parents are a lesbian couple -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 9, 11:59 40
- This doesn't bother me. The Church is welcome to its eachings. I only get torqued when they try to impose them on others. - TWuG Mar 9, 12:09 7
  - There were non-Catholics that attended my Catholic school. Sometimes, they are great schools. - ty97 Mar 9, 12:13 6
    - I went to catholic kindergarden even though my folks were Jewish, we had moved from japan to Salt Lake City and public schools then were as much under - zeitgeist Mar 9, 12:28
    - we had one Lutheran in my Catholic elementary school class. - znufrii Mar 9, 12:15 3
      - Heck, my 8th grade teacher wasn't Catholic. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:22 2
        
        heck, a bunch of the nuns who taught me were gay. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:24 1
        
        This doesn't surprise me. For a certain generation, that was the route, I guess. - ty97 Mar 9, 12:25
    - My sis teaches at a Catholic school (actually the one we went to as kids) where just over half the students are Catholic. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:14
- These stories are tempting me to use my upcoming kidlet as a tool for controversy ... - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:01
- I wonder if there is more to this story. That seems unusual for a Catholic school. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:01 1
  - some schools are very rigidly conservative. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:02
- i thought that children were not responsible for the sins of their parents. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 12:00 28
  - I don't think it's that simple, it's not the child who's entering into the business relationship here or paying the bill. -- nm - Ender Mar 9, 12:05 13
    - This is a solid point. I'm sure they don't want to accept money from The Fabulous Satan. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:06
    - If the checks clear the bank...who cares? -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 12:06 11
      - People who aren't amoral. - Ender Mar 9, 12:16 8
        
        the point, I think, is to use the child as a prop to spur controversy. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:18 7
        
        I'm doubtful. I don't think anyone was looking to start a controversy here. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:19 6
        
        hey ty, did CNN say what order of nuns runs the school? -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:22 4
        
        Looks like it's the archdiocese's decision. -- (link) - Ender Mar 9, 12:28 1
        
        Thanks for the details. I admit: I'm surprised by this. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:31
        
        unsure, I haven't seen/read the story yet -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:25 1
        
        I found the story on CNN. I think it may be a diocesan school. (so no order in particular) -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:28
        
        Exactly. In some places, the public schools are horrible and if you can't afford a private school, the Catholic schools are your best option. -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 12:22
      - God cares, Jim. God cares. You don't think Jesus hung around with sinners, do you? -- nm - TWuG Mar 9, 12:12 1

    - oh sure, find a bible quote to prove your point, what are you a conservative colunist. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 12:06
  - That's how I see it, but sometimes I hear about something like this. Or a priest that won't baptise a child because the parents - loosilu Mar 9, 12:00 10
    - he'd rather fondle the child of course -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 12:10 1
      - ew, they're babies. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:16
    - It's the church's prerogative IMO. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 12:07 7
      - I don't believe it's the Church's stance though. (speaking of the Church overall). -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:11
      - it's not that easy to not be Catholic. ;P Anyway, in my experience most priests don't do that stuff. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:08 3
        
        it gets easier the more you practice -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 12:11
        
        Sure it is. I've been doing it for years now. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 12:09
        
        If your church says "Fuck off and die", they can't be that great of a church, can they? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:08
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I agree the church's stance is reprehensible from a "human" perspective. But hey, that's religion as far as I'm concerned. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 12:10

the animation in Tron definitely holds up better than Last Starfighter - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 11:56 3
- even back then I thought it was dumb that the enemy mother ship in TLS was designed with a dangling weak spot. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 11:58 2
  - well c'mon. you think one starfighter is gonna be able to take down the whole Ko'Dan Armada? hell no! -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 12:01
  - At least the Death Star had a channel lined with guns -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 12:00
Microsoft today warned of a critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer that is already being exploited by hackers -- (link) - ty97 Mar 9, 11:55 1

  - I doubt it. -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 12:14

- what part of it? Fumes? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 11:55 5
  - no, I use water miscible paints (no fumes). I mean, it's hard. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 11:57 4
    - Oh :) I was torn on whether to interpret it as artistry or house painting, I guess I chose poorly. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 11:59 3
      - I don't have a house. ;P -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:01 2
        
        Apartments can be house painted, too. - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:02 1
        
        too much work. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:07

  - An awesome cheesy SciFi film from the early 80s. It ain't good cinema, but it is fun. -- nm - TWuG Mar 9, 12:11
  - It's a movie about a computer programmer who gets sucked inside a video game. - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:03 2

- why is he missing? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 9, 11:58
- Phew - I've never seen Tron, and I thought I was weird for not having seen it -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 11:57

  - it came out a month or so before E.T. that summer. whoops! -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 11:56 4
    - i saw ET several times in the theatre. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 11:57 3
      - it's crazy when i think how many movies like that i went to see multiple times in the 80s - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 12:00 2
        
        overall there were less movies coming out, though. - Reagen Mar 9, 12:02 1
        
        they still packed a good number into a summer frame -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 12:04
