@Gargantua:

This is the most epic description I have ever heard.

imminent cataclysm of stupidity.

Love it… ;)

Why thank you.

But I typed it with equal terror, despair, and shame.

I miss school.  I think I am going to take a few night courses just for fun.

Enjoy it while you can.

@dezrtfish:

I wonder how long I could pull that one off, I wouldn’t mind being glued to my bed for a day or two…

With the right company?  :evil:

Glue… handcuffs… whatever.  Who needs school?  With the right teacher I’m sure there’s plenty that can be learned attached to one’s bedrails. :-o

Jermo,

Thanks for bringing up the reputation of the Catholic church, this is another good point regarding this topic.  Consider the following:

Shanley said he particularly objected to one tale that uses religious language to describe a sexual encounter between a woman and a teenage girl. While the teen narrator describes the episode as “a kind of heaven,” Shanley said it’s “abusive, exploitative and morally wrong.”

How is this not glorifying pedophelia?  I think Shanleys description is fitting if the tale is true…and I have no reason to doubt it since the supporters of the VM showing do not deny this.  Aside from the fact that pedophelia is clearly inappropriate regardless of the situation, with the recent problems the Catholic church has had with this lately I gotta ask:  Why on earth would anyone even remotely associated with the Catholic church allow something with this kind of statement?  To allow a production with something like this would add to the criticisms that the catholic church does not take pedophelia seriously.  And if the Catholic church is serious about dealing with their problem in this area, would not the banning of the VM be at least a start?

I’m not buying the arguement that banning the VM is indicative of not addressing the problem – I think not banning it would show they aren’t addressing their problems.

I havn’t defended French prisons, i just laugh at the outrage expressed by Americans w.r.t. French prisons when the US penal system looks so problematic.

i havent seen anyone yet express outrage. also, you acknowledge yourself that you are comparing French PRISONS, with the US PENAL SYSTEM. you cant compare the two. it doesnt work

i havn’t compared the two yet. Also i am wondering about your definition of “outrage”.

“ours is terrible, but at least it isn’t as bad as FRANCE’S”.

no, actually, ours is quite good. im not at all pleased with our justice and penal system, but the physical prisons are quite good. not even relative to france, but in general.
ahhh ok. So the prison buildings in America are fine - the prisons themelves suck then?

I guess by this standard, i could mock just about everything American all the time . . . .
Oh yeah - i already do

and yet, when americans mock anything about another country, there is such hostility from you.

not true.
Also i was exaggerating. I criticise much more than i mock. The only thing American that i mock is their President. Sadly too much that is Canadian is a reflection of American “values” so i would find myself far too often mocking issues of my own nation (which i already do, by the way).
this post was not me. and the quotes are all screwed up, so i have no idea what point was made. if it was you, CC, like i assume, please repost

I don’t see how their worse than radio’s blasting and holding a coke…
