While on the subject of the 'biscuit game' and catholics - what if the biscuit was one of those communion biscuits?

Another reason, besides the french ticker, to be a protestant. Any catholic lurkers out there, you better be taking notes.

The question is, does the state have the right to remove your children due to suspicion of abuse, without due process through a court of law, and without even so much as a warrant.

They really shouldn't be allowed to. My family has had to deal with CPS, which put my two younger cousins under a lot of emotional abuse and mental turmoil. And in the end, after court was said and done, there was absolutley no need for it. Of course we all knew that while it was going on, but had to deal with the court processing. Needless to say, no one in my family will dare so much as speak harshly to any child in their care while in public. The adults are even terrified of ever having to go through that process again.

My cat-like curiousity is awoken by the '(s)' - but that's probably none of my business.

Thanks for the link. I can't wait to hear and read about everything the find out and discover. Very exciting stuff.

No, not in the nature of the conversation. Can you really go to far once the subject of sexual practices are under discussion?

For instance in the US, without a court order Child Protective Services can come and remove your children.

They are completley out of hand. Bordering communistic, with the attitude that the children belong to the state, and not the parents. They were possibly a purely good thing in the past, but not so much from what I've witnessed recently.

Locking someone up is not violence. It really isn't. Not by any standards.

It may be a political ploy to say "the state uses violence" because it locks people up, but to me this is just word games, sorry.

I agree Steve. I'm actually still in awe about the example given about the government coming to your house and shooting you down for evading your taxes.

I saw you typed 'kung fu' and took a stab in the dark.

Uh, I mean movies like for example "Clan of the White Lotus". I'll give you a pat on the back though.

surely they should be your personal bodyguard/security force, but instead they go all cassius and brutus on you

I know :( I'm barely 5'1 and they take advantage of it. Tough love I guess. Just the other day I was sitting in a chair and one snuck up behind me and smuggled me with a pillow, causing me to topple backwards. Really wouldn't have it any other way, I like being my father(s) only, little girl.

A middle child I see?

Thanks for the video - makes me feel bad about the one i posted earlier (the rap one

That one was great! When are they "flipping the switch" on that any way? Last time I was on the site (two or three weeks ago) it just said "late in the summer". There has been some crazy speculation about it. I read somewhere that some people are afraid of it creating a black hole and sucking us all in.

Ah, Pat Robertson. Thanks, wp. (Did you know Zappa was one of his most trenchant critics? Check out "Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk")

I object on personal grounds. I have a very intense hatred towards that man. My grandparents are pretty good friends of his. I met him when I was too young to really know what was going on, but I do remember disliking him. A bit creepy. He "prophesised" over me. He told me that I was going to have a very personal relationship with god, that he would "reveal" himself to me in ways most christians dont have the privilege of knowing, and that I would do great things in the name of the lord. If I ever have the displeasure of meeting that man again I plan on telling him that jesus told me he was going to burn in hell.

Yes. I'm glad someone got that.

David Robertson isn't Wooter/Clearmind/Isthatclear.

Speaking of hell and Hitchens :), I think, out of the many obscene and offensive comments he has made, my favorite one was in regards to Jerry Falwell after his death. "No, I don't believe there is a hell, but I think it's a shame there isn't one he can burn in". (Note punctuation after quotation)

By any chance have you seen 'kung fu panda'?

When I was at the drive in I saw snippets of it. But that wasn't the particular movie we were going to see, so I didn't get to hear it. Not the same. Was it any good?

I won't pretend i know what a 'pas de bouree' turn is - but i'm sure what ever pain/discomfort you have will clear up soon, though that's a guess, i have no way of knowing that.

Thanks, yeah, I'll be over it soon. I'm used to injuries from dance. I also have five younger brothers, I've been in worse pain. (They still beat on me. ) Uh, here's an example. In case you ever date a dancer. :)

How charitable is it really when you're getting something out of it by perpetuating your particular brand of mythology? There's a big selfish element to it as far as I am concerned.

Exactly. Moreso, with all of the wealth that the church has, they don't really see to it to help the countries in a real benefical manner or providing proper education. They want them to remain daft and naive. And above everything else, thankful. (You "owe" us your lives and dedication).It makes it easier in the future for the church to use these people for whatever selfish scheme they come up with.

As a side note and speaking of Islam,

I read an article on yahoo last night about the uproar within muslims about the interface conference. The leader of Al-Qaida is urging muslims to kill the king of Saudi Arabia. He seems to preach that it is a betrayal of Islam.

edit

Perhaps some Cardinal or other, who possibly enjoyed sticking tampons up his own arse, suddenly had the idea that women might actually get a similar thrill

Easier obtained dildos? That is a stretch.

It might be a more appealing religion if the doctrines weren't so difficult to stand by at this point in history.

I don't want the religion to become more appealing. I'd rather them continue to make people uncomfortable, displeased and found wanting, however I dont want them to accomplish this at the expense of people's health and lives.

Comment #220828 by thewhitepearl on July 29, 2008 at 5:28 am

Depo Provera shot so that no one will know that they are taking birth control (the shot lasts 3 months or something like that

I think, at least for awhile, they were only allowing you to get the shot once, (or once a year) because of the risk of losing bone density.

But anyway I agree with you. They are so worried about not being pregnant they don't realise or care about the risk of STD's. For some reason it's still a common mis perception that birth control will prevent std's. Lack of proper education.

All because the church believes that god, with all of the problems in the world (not to mention any other), really concerns himself with an act, that he himself would have made pleasurable.

This has become a problem for me. Almost everything someone says a line comes to mind. (Sometimes two, so it's hard to decide which one I want to say, if I decide to go ahead and say it)

Take for instance

There is a special name for women who use the rhythm method for contraception.

They are called "mothers".

Look at them, bloody Catholics, filling the bloody world up with bloody people they can't afford to bloody feed.

or

Because, every time they have sexual intercourse, they have to have a baby!

Before and volunteer decides to join the IRA he should understand fully and clearly the issues involved. He should examine his own motives. He should examine his political motives. The Army are intent on creating a Socialist Republic.

Chapter, page and paragraph please. I do intend to get a copy.

Also, who exactly was this written by?

And HOW exactly were they planning on getting a social government? To just declare it? Or by getting the brit's out and the unification of Ireland?

Please make sure you answer those questions.

(I'm sorry but "the army is intent on creating a social governemnt" isn't the same as saying "our main goal is to...." and I obviously need to read the entire thing in context.)

From what I read it was issued to the IRA as a guide. But I wasn't sure on the author of the book (I doubted it was written by the entire IRA)so I couldn't bring up that point. But I'm glad you just did.

Everyone else but weesam seems to be in agreement about the IRA's main goal. But maybe he just didn't want Al to be right.

It required a simple answer. (googling and getting the wrong answer does not count I'm afraid.)

Well it was after all what you suggested. I believe your claim was also that it would provide the correct answer.

Instead, I got swearing, obfuscation, and name-calling.

Well that's not all you got. You also got the correct answer.

Of course, in these strange times, Wikipedia is a much higher authority on the IRA than the IRA themselves.

Well, I always don't agree with wikipedia, but from googling and going to many different sites I have found what the objective for the IRA was (which Al and I both already stated) and the word nationalism popped out here and there.

I don't know much about the green book since i havent read it, but I do know that it was published in the 70's.

thewhitepearl-

unfortunately, Wikipedia suggests that you are wrong (first paragraph): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_Irish_Republican_Army

However I maintain that that wasn't what they were going for.

You missed the point. I don't care if what I said was wrong. I got it from google, so take it up with all of those websites. (We all know Wikipedia is good for information up to a certain point. Many people can go in and edit as they please.)

I simply followed weesams advice, googled it like he suggested, and pointed out that according to google, he was wrong by declaring Al is wrong.

Does that make any sense?

1193. A third of Muslim students back killings

Comment #220531 by thewhitepearl on July 28, 2008 at 2:37 pm

Point 4 was your answer to my question. Point 4 is wrong.

Actually weesam, you are wrong about Al being wrong.

A quick search on google (like you suggested) proves that I'm right about you being wrong. The main goal of the IRA was to unite Ireland. (Also there were a couple of links that also included that is to end British rule in Ireland.)

You waffled (as usual) and avoided the answer (which can easily be googled, so I expect you to get it this time)

I dont understand. If the question is easily googled and not tough for Al to answer why are you asking it in the first place?

What point are you trying to prove?

Al, whitepearl, and, well, everyone: isn't so far the best system we know of actually capitalism *with a bit of socialism*? It's not "pure" capitalism.

So are on our side then?

Al,

No psychology behind it. I'm the same way. Except I'm an asshole. "Not a bitch, you're an asshole". Whatever. I tend to be very blunt and don't beat around the bush, this apparently offends people. But I expect people to be the same way, it irks me to the greatest degree when they aren't.

whitepearl,
First, how are you? how's your day been?

Doing well today. Taught a dance class early this morning then, then plopped my hiney down in the bookstore with a few cups of coffee. y tu?

when not abused or misused, have a way of resource consumption limitation - can the same be said for communism / socialism?

Not to my knowledge. I haven't really paid that much attention to economics like I should have though. I know enough however and I really believe that people should be made up to make their own decisions with as little interference from the government as possible. Pretty much just enough to make sure people follow the laws that are agreed and voted on by the majority.

Al,

Also you forgot to include the insult thrown in on the side. That's the icing on the cake. Just hoping someone will step in and agree with him and point out how you are wrong without him having to do it himself. Sounds like he is the one trying to start a rumble.

Although you were a little harsh with the "go back to being a silent fucktard" comment. Funny but harsh.
