the peasents they burn!
You’re staking a lot on that statement.
Now, don’t brand him brash.
Witchever way you think best.
Stop it you guys. These puns are torture.
Go ahead….rack up another one.
Don’t mind Blonde, she’s an iron maiden.
Water board guy you are!
Nope, doesn’t gitmo punny than that.
That’s an extraordinary rendition of a pun…
We’re on the verge of a nesting fail here – one can’t stress position enough in these matters.
TROGDOOOOOOR!
Burninating the country side, burninating the peasants. Burninating everything. TROGDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trogdor was a man. But he was….a DRAGON man!!!
You guys wouldn’t know a consummate V if it bit you in the ass.
and that chiaroscuro shading isn’t for wimps.
*lights shortright’s picture on fire and laughs* Trogdor strikes again!
THATCHED-ROOF COTAGES
No…not leg room… GOD ROOM!
Those windows…illuminate GOD ROOM.
He needs the extra space to rock that papal La-Z-Boy!
Kick up his little red bootie clad feet.
So he can walk to prevent DVT. Chances are he’ll have a long and productive papacy, if one can term peddling superstition ‘productive’, as long as he doens’t as for the books to be audited… JP1 tried that. It didn’t end ‘well’…
What happened there? Is there an article about it?
[link]
Robert A. Wilson used to write a lot about this subject, from the point of view that exploring conspiracy theories is fun and informative. I’ve been trying to find a copy of Yallop’s book for years, but no matter how many small bookstores I investigate I come up empty.
Thank you for the information.
Here’s a link to Yallop’s book on Amazon, starting at $2-something for used, plus S/H.
might try powells books in portland, ore
{http://www.powells.com}
they’ve got several of his titles including spanish and german copies
LOL- I only live a couple dozen blocks from Powells! No offense, but I’ve already pored over all three floors of Powells, and no dice. Thanks, Rho, I’ll check that out!

Fester, this is beside the point, but I found this and thought you might get a kick out of it: [link]
Fester, this is beside the point, but I just found this and thought you’d get a kick out of it: h ttp: //ww w.ph otobasement.co m/plea se-no-fatties/
no offense taken. kind of ridiculous to get bent when someone doesn’t take unsolicited suggestions over the internet. and i should have known by the handle, doh! check their website though, they’ve got several copies listed. i’ve had good luck getting obscure books through them, especially when i don’t need the volume yesterday…. i’d be so broke living that close, lol. i had a hard time when i lived across the river – them and the woodworkers store ate a paycheck every month. those were good days
Thanks, I will!
I love that the Pope is soooooooo concerned about the environment
Odds are he burns less fuel per passenger than the Gore jet.
Odds are your hot air kicks out more greenhouse than both the Pope and Mad Al put together…
Are you just refreshing and searching, over and over? Don’t get me wrong, it’s flattering and all, just a little…unbalanced.
Eh at certain times of the day you will find me posting like crazy because I am bored at work. Then I just comment to whatever strikes my fancy. Odds are that Fester has times of heightened activity on the site just like anybody else.
After all, you decided to bash Gore out of the blue so why wouldn’t you expect to be bashed out of the blue yourself? Tad hypocritical.
Disclaimer for the dim: I pay about as much attention to Gore as I do Chia pets. IE none.
You missed the point, which I’ll repeat using smaller words: I’m amused that the vast majority of Fester’s posting activity seems to be screaming nonsense at whomever he’s decided to shadow at the moment. I assume it’s either to get attention or because he actually thinks it’s some weird form of personal connection.
Really he’s becoming completely predictable. We could set time by his posts.
Cool… what time is it?
Moron Time?
That was 0838 PDT…
It is Fu(kYou: 04 and five seconds. I need to back pretending to work by ChristianBother:15.
Oh crap, I’m late!
*crickets* Damn, that is fail joke #3 this week…
Sorry….lunch.
Curses… little under 45 minutes til lunch for me…
not a failed joke… i just didn’t see it til now b/c i’ve had *gasp* work to do. i find it amusing.
erm, nesting fail. and i wasn’t being sarcastic about the fact that i had work to do and no-one else does… it’s just rare for me to be actually busy. quite rare.
Cursed work, ruining my fun.
Issue beatings until morale improves and let the snark flow…
*trail = troll. yes, i suck at life.
Love you, I still do…
aww.
*feels all warm and fuzzy and not in the bad “damn it DWN now i have to go to the doctor” type of way*
*chuckles* Okay, that made me do more than smile. Though I am curious what you think I would do that would require a doctor’s visit…
not a clue. it just seemed appropriate.
… Alrighty then…
If that doesn’t work, we could hang someone…
And I could get more dancers at gun point…
Spread the hate time? You make PK so nice.
If at the end of it all, I’ve made one person say something nasty to just one friend, or may strike just one loved one, then it’s all been worth while.
Or as he has stated numerous times and you have been too dim to noticed, it amuses him to bother idiots which you have proven to be. So you amuse him so he pokes at you to listen to you whine. I also might add, you do it with precision that would make a Swiss Clock weep.
No DWN he doesn’t “bother idiots”. He puffs himself up with hot air and methane and in the end says nothing worth reading.
In fact, I’ve decided he’s the original troll of the “none shall pass” type, halting conversaton between others and basically lording it over his own little self appointed empire. No one may post on PDK without facing his pathetic, self important scorn. He is bringing PDK down because people who disagree with his narrow views are not permitted to air their own opinions.
In short, sir, he is an ass-hat.
I’ve really pissed you off, haven’t I… thanks for the confirmation…
I’ll try to keep up to my usual standard… after all, I’d hate you to think I was neglecting you.
Much like you. Except he’s funny.
NOT
Always nice to have a new toy to mess with…
Toy poodle – yipp yipp yappitty yipp …
Pomeranian, AND poodle.
Ooooh, okay, despite your sensitivity to our crude natures, that comment made me like you a bit.
I don’t have anything against crudeness, just abusive hostility. Your comments I find very funny!
Hostility is an acquired taste and it can be offsetting, I certainly had my issues when it first came about but oddly it developed into a respect. Careful, flattery gets you everywhere.
That’s true, if you do it right!
I will keep perverted comments to self.
You feeling unwell?
A tad but also not in the mood to flirt with a complete stranger, I would prefer to continue to flirt with the mostly strangers I usually flirt with here.
*grins* Yeah, some of us are pretty strange.
DWN, I’m glad you mentioned chia pets, because I wanted an opportunity to share this discovery: [link]. I’m still having a hard time believing this actually exists.
“YES YOU CAN own a little bit of history with out Special Edition CHIA OBAMA!!”
LOL.
And there’s TWO of them. “Determined” Chia Obama and “Happy” Chia Obama.
oh oh I missed it lemme go look!
OMG it’s too pervy.
Reuse your Chia indefinitely! Convenient Drip Tray!
I am disturbed…
YES! I’ll put it next to my Obama Victory Plate!
-
Seriously, this is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Hail to the Ch-Ch-Ch-Chief!
I think they should offer the Chia-Obama in a value pack with Chia-Scooby Doo or Chia-Shaggy.
I would be all over that. LoL.
This reminds me, last week when we were in New York, we were leaving Times Square on our way back to Grand Central Station and we were passing all these guys selling stuff, usually theater tickets, and as we passed this one guy he says, loudly, “Obama Condoms! Get your Obama Condoms right here!” Funniest thing to happen on the whole damn trip.
Can someone tell me why it’s a bad thing that our species will one day be expunged from the planet, like the disease it is…
Are you really as stupid as you appear? You’ve tried most things…
Sexual insult
Unemployed insults
Honesty insults
You’re now to the stalking insults…
the final stage is parentage, usually, so I’m looking forward to those…
you make no good points and accuse others of screaming and wanting attention…
well, I’m giving you attention and you seem to be complaining since I’m giving you what you want…
The irony of you complaining about all that is just delicious.
The irony of you seeing irony is more so.
How exactly did this black fly get in my chardonnay? WAITER!!!!
*holds towel* You shrieked?
I did not come here for the irony, good sir. I demand my money back!
You have already blown your nose on the tablecloth, ate the meal in its entirety, and foddled myself and another waiter. No refunds. Here is your receipt for the bill for your prepaid meal.
Have a nice evening, ma’am.
I foddled you? That’s sounds kinky. Was it nice?
I’m still erect, madam. You know your touch skills well…
Night all.
I take it DWN’s nose gets stuffy when he’s “foddled.”
Who was complaining? I was observing that you enjoy my prodding you.
It validates you… while you steal bandwidth from work…
They are bringing back the baroque curled toe shoes. The pope’s shoes are going to need that much room. OR the Cardinals have plans for the tarp and gallon of extra virgin olive oil.
“Holy slip-and-slide Popeman!”
You can’t get to heaven on Superman, ’cause God himself is a Batman fan.
Naked nun wrestling… hurm…
Twister
wtf does that have to do with ANYTHING?? God DAMN there are some serious retards on here. So he’s on an airplane, therefore he doesn’t care about the “environment”, is that your pathetic attempt at a point?
What’s he supposed to do, go around the world in a rowboat?
Maybe your hero, the fail wannabe dictator should too. I guess you haven’t heard about Al Gore’s electric bill either, right? THIS is why “global warming” was created, the world is so infested with morons, they’ll believe anything the rulers tell them because they’re too damn stupid to think for themselves.
*hands wow a napkin*
There’s a little foam building up at the corners of your mouth, there…
Danbala dabs at needless no-nads with napkin, dagnabbit.
She has one, and probably earns more than you do, you prancing jackanapes…
LOL! Thanks for the word for the day.. I haven’t heard that one before!
Thanks for the suggestion. However, those “fu(king jobs” just aren’t for everyone, so I’ll stick to my job and leave the fu(king jobs to you and your colleagues.
I don’t know where Wow lives, but in my city the police have a nasty habit of rounding up the ladies with “fu(king jobs” on a regular basis and charging them with crimes.
The sad thing is that I like this particular debate but this isn’t the thread to discuss bodily domain.
Oh, well, I’m sure an appropriate thread will turn up soon. It’s an interesting topic, anyway!
That it is.
I think it is just that when some people see a church that stresses humility and sacrifice and their “flesh-leader” (God is their official leader) is given grand treatment, one can sometimes be disenchanted. The Catholic church has beautiful traditions, but it is, ultimately on Earth, human.
I am moving over to a 100% belief in science. I still participate in Catholic traditions with my family–but the way some speak, you’d think I was going to perish with Stephen Jay Gould and David Attenborough and Charles Darwin and Jane Goodall…(okay, Darwin’s gone, but we all know where some people think HE went!)
Is that what “thinking for yourself” looks like? It looks quite a bit more like what I’d call “angrily parroting right-wing talk-radio bullshit”.
I’ve got a news flash for you, kid: the media sometimes have an agenda. You can’t believe everything they tell you.
So in calling out assumed environmental hypocrites, it is therefore appropriate to swear and then assume that these commenters might need special needs services? Really, if you want to raise awareness for the faults in Gore’s or anyone else’s plans, please do so without bringing in the ‘r’ word. And yes, this world may be ‘infested’ with people who lack the common sense to think and act appropriately, there is no need for name calling…

the attention you crave
*POKE*
Happy now?

I think it is the One person in a large room on a plane part that you aren’t comprehending… Fuel emissions from a jet with a very small occupancy.
Glad you were too stupid to notice the point.
you mean like Air Force one? how about Queen Pelosi demanding that HUGE military planes take here where ever she wants, on demand even though it costs thousands of $$ to move them anywhere, never mind your imaginary “green house gasses” Like the EVIL C02 which is essential for LIFE TO EXIST?
So let me get this straight…the Pope should fly on Jet Blue to prove that he really does care about the environment? would that make it ok?
God damn, liberalism really is a mental disorder (much like being retarded only worse)
Captain autism speaks again. Thanks Rainman…
That’s an a$$hole thing to say Fester.
I liked Rainman. 3 minutes to Wapner.
You’ve just noticed I’m an arsehole?
No, I’ve known for a while, but it amuses me. I was more pointing out that comparing Rainman to NO_BAMA is more of an insult to Rainman than anything else.
Since Rainman doesn’t exist, he won’t be offended…
Although apparently Barry Morrow, screenwriter of the movie, was inspired to develop the character by an actual savant (although not autistic),
Kim Peek. [link, and it's about halfway down]
Rainman was a composite.
Not to mention fictional; I just thought it was interesting to see there was a person who sparked the idea for the writer.
Rainman was smart though.
And likable.
and I would gladly take him along on my next trip to Vegas.
I’m definitely not wearing underwear. Definitely not. I get my boxer shorts at K-mart.
I’m an excellent driver.
Oh, the Kmart reference reminds me of a joke..
-
What do Kmart and Michael Jackson have in common? They both have boys underwear half off.
Ah, so true…
I don’t recall saying that I approve of Air Force One or that I even like Pelosi.
CO2 is only part of the equation since you breathe oxygen. Food is essential for you to live but you can still drown in it or eat yourself to death. Anything else you would like to make up or misinterpret?
No_bama…your comment makes me happy.
Easily pleased… but it’s always funny to watch people make an ass of themselves
Fact check ever? You’ve swallowed the hook. Thanks for letting us all watch your fail dance.
Seriously. It’s like factcheck.org doesn’t exist in their world.
Did you see all the questions on Obama’s “Open for Questions” asking him to release his birth certificate to prove his citizenship? Seriously…people are idiots.
His birth certificate is available to see online anyway!
that is NOT his birth certificate, everyone in the free world knows that and he has actually spent a ton of money to KEEP people from seeing
it. Now why would he do that? hmmmmmmmm
You need to show a BC just to get a license to DRIVE…but not be dictat….I mean “President”
what a concept…
What else to the voices tell you?
HOLY SH!T there ARE people with internet access who don’t know how to use Google!
[LINK] Scanned image, high-res photographs, close ups of the raised seal, stamps, the whole works. It even shows a FactCheck writer (Joe Miller) holding the document in his very own hands.
What more proof do you want? It’s as real as the moon landing, the round earth, and a solar centric universe.
Thank you, Steve. Let’s see if No_Bama actually notices.
I’m sure he’ll just chalk it up to more conspiracy, more cover-up, and will expound long and loud on the fact that the hand holding the document is, in fact, a fake hand.
if he has nothing to hide, why does he REFUSE TO SHOW IT?
Now who’s the idiot?
Got a mirror?
It’s on the internet, anyone can see it, so I guess that makes you the idiot.
You are, try googling OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE (duh)
if that’s it “online”, why has his REFUSAL to show the REAL one
gone all the way to the Supreme Court? If that one was real, the case wouldn’t STILL be ongoing, now would it?
Try getting your information from somewhere other than here and CNN
Are you one of those conspiracy theorists? Go to snopes to see how wrong you are.
The only thing that’s not hilarious about your post is that you actually believe it…oh wait, that’s hilarious too, carry on.
What’s actually hilarious is that you treat Snopes as though it’s a magical incantation.
There is absolutely no evidence that Obama was born in Kenya, or that his mother travelled to Kenya at the time of his birth. There is loads of evidence to the contrary. Snopes is one site which dispells the rumours, there are many other more reputable sites as well.
-
I’m beginning to think that you don’t even believe your own arguments, you just like winding people up by making crazy claims, Rush Limbaugh-style.
If it’s a “FACT” then cite your source. I’ve cited mine.
Keep them going, SB. This is fun!
Three words: Frank Marshall Davis.
Got a Snopes link for that?
Oh you’re one too! I see, when it’s obvious that NO_BAMA’s false birth certificate allegations are easily dispelled, you just bring up another random conspiracy. You guys should take this show on the road! No, really.
-
I’m sorry, “Obama’s friends with communists” red-scare tactics don’t work on me, I’ve spent the last eight years building up an immunity to fear-mongering. Keep letting yourself be guided by irrational fear though, it seems like it’s going well for you.
You say, but you never do. Clearly you spent those last eight years learning how to be led around by the nose.
I bet Dhoti believes in Reptillian Aliens too…
do you ever listen to anyone other that coulter and limpdick? this much ignorance manifested by one person is usually a sign of youth, but even my children’s friends aren’t this ignorant (stupid)
the jet for the use of the speaker of the house (as 3rd in line to the office of the presidency) was ORDERED BY YOUR FORMER CHIMP IN CHIEF after 9/11! granted the one for the former speaker, dennis hasert often used a c-20b which i think has a passenger capacity of 12. when pelosi became speaker inquiries were made regarding a larger aircraft being available for her use. the house sergeant at arms, bill livingood, put in the formal request that she have an airplane that could fly to her homestate of california (as opposed to hasert state of illinios) so that there would be no stops for refueling – a security hazard. however, the use of larger, longer flight capable aircraft is subject to availability – there isn’t a plane sitting by at her beck and call.
All information readily available at Snopes or factcheck.org.
As much faith our government as I’ve lost, I am sure that Obama–and government–has enough honesty and checks to insure that indeed Obama is president with all the correct requirements.
He’s president, he’s not going anywhere for the next 3 years and a bit at least, do you really need to be frothed up the entire time?
Does the 1%er have a viable option, this side of psychotropics?
I always get a measure of concern when I see the nitwits who think they have better investigative skills than the opponents of the candidates they hate…
Hillary and McCain both had to have professional muddigging and slinging crews, I mean their damn career boost was at stake. Then again, at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the nitwits believed that Hillary and McCain threw the fight and they are the only ones who see this “truth” and all its pretty colors.
Oooh I like that conspiracy, let’s spread it around!
If the Clinton’s and Karl Rove couldn’t find it, it isn’t there. I don’t really care anyway. Why are we continuing to argue with conspiracy theorist on the internet, he’s already president. Too bad, so sad, take it to the supreme court and see you in 2012, and all that jazz.
I have a problem in that I try to reason with people… I blame my job, it has me do it with people who can’t read their lease, all blasted day.
That’s true. We PK’ers are our own worst enemies. We love to debate things so much that we end up feeding the trolls to the point that we have to call animal control to fix the problem.
However, I do like that I managed to reconcile with yip. Their issue was the hostility.
i don’t know, it looks an awful lot like the official replacement one i had to get from my home state several years ago. and you do know those birth certificates they give you at the hospital now aren’t legal documents recognized by any government office?
besides, it wouldn’t matter where he was born at, his mother was a us citizen at the time of his birth, therefore dual citizenship. besides the court system has acknowledged his legitimacy as president by their dis-interest in hearing any case using his birth as an excuse to have him declared unqualified, or by this point in time, having him removed from office.
if you are so unhappy with the laws and how they are enforced, quit wasting your time here trying to impress the rest of us, and start doing something constructive with your time, like irritate your
duly elected officials. i’m sure they’d love to hear all this again….
dang, i meant to include a comment re how we were on the topic of “queen pelosi” (your term) and then you abruptly changed the subject to obama’s birth certificate being a fake, which was a different thread entirely…. got a problem with keeping your wingnut thoughts straight?
Nobama is a cretin… you get used to it…
i know, and to top it off he triggers flashbacks to what i was married to…. so the question begs to be asked:
what does that make me that i keep voluntarily engaging in dialogs(?) with a cretin?
It is just habit on your part. We forgive you of that–have a cookie?
can i have anti-cretin glasses too, so that when those posts appear they are just an empty space on the web page?
I’m afraid that I burned out my last pair reading student essays. But when I put in an order for new ones, I’ll order some for you as well!
Dialogues. And….extremely optimistic, or slightly masochistic are my top two guesses. Also, just that we all fall back into old habits easily. ;_)
thanks for the spelling correction – never was my forte —
“i miss my ex, but my aim is getting better” kind of thing. so maybe i’m at the phase of sado-masochism – a bit of both?
optimistic? lol, lol…. have to tell my oldest about that, most people describe me as extremely pessimistic. hate the glass being half full/half empty – as a parent, those choices are totally pointless when faced with a dirty glass masquerading science project hiding in the kid’s room and who had to wash the dang thing anyway.
masochist is interesting, but after my connection to a southern fundy knuckle-dragger, i’m working on sadist
Lol, if you can figure out the answer to getting them to stop leaving half-full and/or empty glasses in their rooms, let me know….when I wash dishes and notice we still only have maybe 3 or 4 clean glasses I always know to go look in my son’s room.
Yeah, I meant optimistic in the sense that maybe a part of your mind is thinking “maybe if I explain this really carefully, they’ll actually get it.” The fact that I view that as optimistic rather than just normal probably shows that I tend to be somewhat pessimistic myself. (My ex was a northern atheist
knuckledragger rather than the southern fundy variety, but I can relate to what you are talking about!)
once upon a time with the older kiddoes, i let the dishes pile up in their rooms, except for a couple plates, bowls & glasses that i hid. come dinner time they looked very baffled by the idea that i was sitting to the table with dishes and they had none. when they finally asked why they didn’t have dishes, i told them their dishes were in their rooms where they’d walked off to. then they asked what they were supposed to eat off of, i gave them a choice: the clean dog dishes (freshly washed) or they could bring down all the dishes from their rooms…. i did get some back that way, for a while. is it a cure, no… but it is torture and does have some redeeming qualities to it.
oldest ended up with couple roommates that were much worse than
anyone could imagine – they’d take dishes outside and lose them or
take them to work and leave them behind. she went through several sets of dishes in just a few years. middle was/is ocd so now that she is on her own, she’s very good about her things. youngest… she was too young to be in on this cure at the time and now, well too late comes to mind. maybe when she is on her own too? but more likely she’ll live with someone who’ll pick up after
her like she expects me to.
Snicker! I’ll have to pass that one on to my friends with rugrats!
My excuse is a pathological dislike of idiots…
i can relate….
So, you need the actual piece of paper in your grubby little fingers before you will believe in it?
Well, if the President can’t take the time to go door to door showing
everyone in the US his actual, original birth certificate, then I guess
he must be covering something up!!!
every time i hear the tirade about this whole birth certificate thing i want to see the real, embossed by the registrar, original, given at birth, but not the souvenir copy from the hospital, posted on the internet by the conspiracy theory trolls so that identity theives can steal them. plus, the real, state issued copies can not be redacted in any way, shape, or form either…..starting with coulter & limbaugh & probably hannity and working it’s way down to the inbred obliviots that buy into this puerile faux drama (thank you randy cassingham for that apropos descriptor
)
You have no evidence, no legal leg to stand on and no working brain cells.
You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
Water is essential for life to exist, I suppose you therefore don’t mind how much of it is on top of your house.
Dance, puppet, dance… amuse us more…

You don’t find standing and making that noise alone embarassing?
My… but you’re ‘special’
He needs all that room for the cases of condoms he’s going to steal from African villages as soon as he gets off the plane.
Cut him some slack – his priests (but not so much their altar boys) are waiting!
That comment is so ludicrous that I doubt ANYBODY sane would listen. The priest-abuse cases were isolated. Parents abuse children, but we don’t keep people from having children. If Muslims were all portrayed as heartless murderers, what an uproar there woild be! We know it isn’t true, though.
When parents get caught, they get punished.
Truth…
Now Yasoup… How many priests were actually punished versus how many victims were just hushed up with church money? Be honest.
I assume you have a list of hushed-up victims you’ll be linking to?
Dhoti’s right, there’s no way the diocese would ever expect abused children to stay quiet and not cause trouble.
For a question that starts off with the word “Truth”, it’s just funny how little of it there is to go around. I thought it was against policy here to make assertions with no way to back them up?
Fair enough, since I can’t exactly look up the keywords Child Molestation cases and reference Priesthood from work due to filters, I will concede for now. Thanks for keeping me honest, Dhoti.
Nah, not really fair. Just trollish. You’d have to be in a coma not to know about the cover up scandals. Dhoti’s just stirring up the shite.
And you’re just misdirecting, badly.
You mean like when Joe Eszterhas did “Showgirls”?
Oh and not “you” meaning “you DWN,” but “you” meaning “one.”
Don’t pout, now. All you were going to do was counter any proof of punishment, contrition, and reform with unsourced allegations that conspiracies are at work that “they” don’t want you to know about. Hardly a fitting form of debate.
So you lack any proof of punishment, contrition, and reform and instead take my acceptance of fault as just another stance to jab at me.
You’re right, it wouldn’t be a fitting form of debate since you lack any proof to begin with and you are already trying to discredit what would be brought up. In short, you’re a twit.
I never made references to “they” or anything of the sort. Again, you are making up arguments to argue against. Do you talk to yourself much?
he does like talking to socks…
They’re his only friends… other than Jesus.
Now I want a Jesus sock and then nail him to something.

… I hate people and that stupid schtick. I hated it last time with the muffin crap and the road sign and whatever else it has been on.
I agree with Dennis Leary in that Mary or Jesus has enough budget to show up on something better than a muffin.
/rant not pointed at Pittypat.
@PittyPat: I heard that the sock smells like Jesus, too!
This is ridiculous.

Everyone knows, Jesus didn’t wear socks.

And another
Yet another…
and finally another.
To claim ‘no cover up’ is simply specious… but then, God botherers are like that a lot of the time
And yet, no surprise, you didn’t actually answer the question. I assume that’s the end of your rhetorical rope, so let the religion bashing and feces throwing commence.
Like I said, stirring up the shite.
He gets sources and can’t counter them, instead whines and bothers. Isn’t this what he was accusing me of just a post or two ago? My my, what a short memory, Dhoti has.
Ditto. Dear, let’s not dote on dithering idiots like Dhoti.
Fester apologists…
And now we have proof that they don’t know what apologist means…
Yipp and Dhoti hear the voices too… Great… more paranoid schizophrenics…
I am still wondering what magical level of denial you have to be on to not notice the cited links and then have the gall to claim that no debate is being had, only feces throwing…
And Dhoti is doing the throwing and complaining about it… And… *head asplode*
Dwn, do you just have nothing better to say, or do you actually not realize that your circular logic doesn’t make sense outside of your own head?
Circular logic? Let me break this down. You were given links by Fester, no less than three of them. However, instead of refuting them, you discuss feces slinging when in fact, you were the only one doing so.
So yes, your circular logic and inability to see what is presented made my head asplode but I got better.
So the real question is, does your circular logic exist outside your own head?
Mimicry — great stuff! Only a half-step away from “I know you are, but what am I?”
Let me try again. Fester’s links didn’t actually answer the question at hand. I said so. You showed up and started making the typical accusations that are made here when trying to distract from the actual question.
So, Fester should feel free to keep posting links — on the poppy farmers in Afghanistan, the waste management system of ancient Rome, or the early childhood biography of Aayla Secura. It’s all just as germane to the conversation, probably slightly more interesting, and I’m sure any link is as good as a relevant one to you.
Dhoti: Unc’s links went exactly to the topic, Vatican cover-ups of sexual predation against children by priests.
Your claims otherwise make no sense. Get your fingers out of your ears, open your eyes and read them.
Again, “were there allegations of a cover-up?” was not the question. (Apparently Fester thought so because that’s the question he answered.) The actual question was, “how many victims were being bought off with church money?” Those links describe an internal judicial process, not a payoff plan. (And weirdly enough they don’t seem to have been admitted to any further court cases as evidence, at least not what I could find in a quick LN search.)
So…you’re holding out for documented proof that the church payed off some of its victims…seems like it should be called something other than “hush money” then…
So, I already conceded the point that I couldn’t produce a list of victim names. However, your overall statement is saying that there was no coverup, to which Fester produced links stating otherwise, news links at that, not blogs.
So you are asking for a list of specific names to denounce the overall claim yet are refusing to acknowledge any other evidence that backs up the overall issue.
Also, I used your words because your words seem to be the only thing you ever truly read.
Dwn, are you just this slow because it’s a Friday? I asked for something, anything, backing up this magical idea of church payoffs. And so far, nothing — just some misinterpreted internal church documents and a lot of snark to paper over the fact that the idea of payoffs is a big conspiracy theory.
Again — and this is forming quite the pattern — you seem to be compelled to obfuscate, misdirect, and otherwise derail the discussion, apparently for no other reason than to launch made-up personal attacks. I don’t see why you bother.
While there’s no way, by their nature, to prove hush money pay-outs, I hope the Vatican DID pay the victims’ families. Those children need *real* therapy, after all.
I know the Catholic Church has been ordered to pay some court judgements in the past. I certainly hope it didn’t end there.
Agreed about resolution, but that’s not germane to this discussion. Are you asserting that the payouts are unknowable, that no amount of investigation or digging or prosecution could dig them up, and therefore Dwn should be allowed to reference them whenever and in whatever form he feels appropriate? After all, we can’t prove that they DON’T exist, so you can’t argue against them, apparently!
I also conceded them already, your point? I am still waiting for your point in something that I already conceded that I was wrong to cite them. You’ve already won your stance and got the admission out of me hours ago. Are you reading even Half of what is being posted or are you just too happy pissing yourself with misplaced indignant rage?
Since you are so fond of getting pissy about what is irrelelvant, would you like to get back on topic or would you like to continue to beat a dead horse that was conceded to you hours ago because I would like to be done wasting my time and watching others waste their time too.
As stated, your whole beef is that I referenced them. You called me on it and I apologized as graciously and nicely as possible because you were absolutely right. However, since then, you have done nothing but attack and completely ignore the concession.
Yet you call me slow. Egads, you are a fu(king null wit.
Sorry, I guess I missed that concession in between the personal attacks and other typical crap. You must have snuck up on the moral high ground while I wasn’t looking. But your time is I’m sure valuable, and you are after all on high, so feel free to head on out.
“Fair enough, since I can’t exactly look up the keywords Child Molestation cases and reference Priesthood from work due to filters, I will concede for now. Thanks for keeping me honest, Dhoti.”
That was posted right under your initial post calling me on the fact, 8 minutes after your post. Your response was a “Don’t pout” snide remark and followed with personal attacks. So no, it wasn’t between anything.
So no, you’re a damn moron as you started this fight. Go up and read it. No typical crap as you call it or personal attacks, just a simple concession and thanking you for keeping me honest.
I guess it also turned from sarcastic into innocent in that time too, huh?
@ Dhoti: just out of curiousity’s sake, have you ever heard of non-disclosure agreements or confidentiality agreements?
when a lawsuit of this nature is settled out of court there are normally contracts drawn up that stipulate financial renumeration. normally the second clause is a non-disclosure clause (gag on discussing any and all details of said lawsuit). since the lawsuit is settled out of court, there are few, if any, documents that are available for research as public information. therefore, searches of every single case will not give you any information regarding who received monetary compensation regardless of what the claims in the suit were. nor will you find any judgements that cover the validity of those claims since a judge never settled the cases settled out of court.
gack, that last sentence should have read:
nor will you find any judgements that cover the validity of those claims since a judge never settled the cases, so there were no payments court ordered, so nothing would have been recorded to be searched.
i need to remember not to type without food….
@DWN good work there, man. I hope it wasn’t wasted…..
bad faerie: Thank you for pointing that out and saving me the trouble. Of course there’s no “list” of who settled out of court to keep the Church’s scandals secret for a suitably large payment.
And yet, somehow I can still come up with this link for Dhoti.
Pissing. In. The. Wind.
Although he’ll be back when he can steal bandwidth…
Yes, but I still enjoy pimping out LMGTFY.com – thought you’d enjoy the subtle snark as well.
Oh Unc please tell me you know I was being facetious.
Um, yeah, that was quite obvious. But getting between Fester and attention is like getting between Al Sharpton and a TV camera.
You get attention for being creepy and annoying.
Fester gets attention for being hilarious and intelligent.
What? On what planet? I’ve never laughed at one post of his. All he ever does is attack other posters he disagrees with and consistently accuses them of doing the exact same thing he does.
yipp, my love, you need to laugh a little.
Hey life is short.
Don’t we all? *sigh…* I come in here to laugh, but get distracted by all the name calling and by the time I’m done reading them I wish I hadn’t.
Yipp… video for you…
I suppose UF’s an acquired taste, sort of like Sour Plums. You know, those incredibly acrid little dried fruits you get in Chinatown that make you gag at first but then become oddly addictive, to the point of taking special trips downtown just for them? *head tilt*
i’m laughing at the fact that yipp complains about the name calling at pk… if you don’t like the name calling and you just want to see lolz, don’t click on the comments section… problem solved.
Good advice, thanks. A little too late though.
What you’ve seen cannot be unseen?
I still recommend the link content…
I love watching Fester converse with his sock…so cute!
@Dhoti: Reading comprehension fail.
Right, because sock puppetry is only something YOU can accuse other people of engaging in. Right, I forgot that.
And apparently Fester, who falls back onto it about as often as he does his racist and classist slurs.
Wrong. Check the link from Unc to yipp, and see what you thought was a sock fest for what it was, actually.
You’re not very bright.
I was talking about Fester and pittypat. How could that possibly have escaped you? Someone calling Fester hilarious and intelligent? Case closed.
A number of us think Fester is hilarious and intelligent. He actually reads what is posted and has pretty much argued with most of the stubborn people here, myself included, who proceeded his entry here by at least a month, if not more.
So no, case is not closed. You’re just fishing.
Profane and lazy riffs on the service industry, mental retardation, certain nonwhite races, and sexuality aren’t actually hilarious, or intelligent. It sounds like you follow the path Froofrou laid out pretty well last night — agree with the troll to avoid getting bashed.
Though I will admit, I am amused when Fester gets so riled up that he starts searching every thread for the current object of his hate, to post nonsensical little non sequiturs. I guess that kind of humor is just way out of my league.
Eh, can’t say I am really following any path. I am not a neocon, not Republican or Democrat, if anything I am a moderate. I don’t smile and nod so much as actually find it amusing. If he says something that annoys me or otherwise seems false to me, I call him on it. I know he is a troll and pretty much exists to poke people who are determined to be bullheaded idiots. So yes, he will dog you and make it very well known that you’re stupid but then again, what have you honestly done to prove that assessment wrong?
You babble, cite only if you truly feel like it and then it isn’t worth that much, attack people for disagreeing with you and get exceptionally hostile when it doesn’t serve your purpose.
So Fester amuses me because he is amusing. We get along because we aren’t that different. I am just not playing a role like he admits to doing. I am actually this much of a jerk but I will give somebody the benefit of the doubt, like I did with Yip.
You still act like you are bucking some system like a courageous rebel when all your rebellion is just you pulling down your pants and crapping on your foot. Oh yes, very rebellious but pointless overall.
That said, I actually appreciate your presence because you rile things up and give otherwise civil conversations a monkey to slap.
Dhoti just steals his employer’s bandwidth to post…
Hey, you say that like it’s a bad thing!
>_> <_<
Wait, what?
Well Fester, in that regard, I can’t say I am much better since I am at work. However, I justify it to myself and employers by the fact that I am allowed to dick about online as long as I am not busy or I am on break/lunch.
Today has been blessedly slow so I have been more present and accounted for. So I can’t fault Dhoti for using company bandwidth.
You’re not claiming the high ground on ‘honesty’…
old Dhoti claims he’s honest, while committing theft.
You still act like you are bucking some system like a courageous rebel when all your rebellion is just you pulling down your pants and crapping on your foot. Oh yes, very rebellious but pointless overall.
That made me laugh. To rebellion!
Sorry, someone who spends his entire job free existence posting on here proving over and over that liberals are truly clueless hardly qualifies as “intelligent”.
It’s funny how the loudest supporters for the welfare state just happen to be the ones with the biggest government checks and the people they’ll forever vote for to prove their allegiance. pathetic
and rainman speaks again. Alas the only savant talent is the same moises he heres on the radio… any moment he’ll post the text of a car advert…
@NO_BAMA, March 27th, 2009 at 9:14 am
“It’s funny how the loudest supporters for the welfare state just happen to be the ones with the biggest government checks and the people they’ll forever vote for to prove their allegiance.”
so you routinely vote for politicians whose views/opinions/morals/goals are diametrically opposed to your own?
and here i thought i was the brain damaged one!
the entire democratic/liberal/communist AGENDA is to get 51% of the voters DEPENDENT on welfare to ensure VOTES and 100% POWER.
Stupid welfare don’t have a clue about any issue other than, I’z
gonna vote fo da one dat gives me da money.
get a job you idiot
PS:
the average welfare leach has:
A: no “views”, other than the one out the window of their free housing and or prison cell.
B:”opinions”, other than, “in my opinion, the world owes me because I’m stupid and lazy”
C:morals? hahahahahahahaha when you have 5 kids from 5 different guys, it’s safe to say you have no “morals”
D:goals? their only “goal” is to never work a day in their life and get paid for it.
You’re gross.
You’re stupid.
You’re fat. (Oh, boy! I’m back in third grade!)
@NO_BAMA
sorry, not an idiot, just brain damaged, iq still high side of normal;
idiot (as a rating of mental ability) is just a few steps above vegetable, and fyi, is no longer used. and boy does it say a whole lot about you to call someone who is brain damaged an idiot!
furthermore liberals, democrats, and communists are not interchangeable
as for opinions or lack thereof – i got them, a) they aren’t what you or anyone else would expect, b) i own my home outright (do you?), c) ain’t got no 5 kids by 5 different daddies, & i’m the one with the socially accepted morals (unless you are a southern baptist who believes adultery is acceptable), d) i’m college educated & own my own company, e) my children are also college educated — so put that in your pipe and smoke it fttttp~
Just noticed that NOBAMA is a paranoid loon?
The Gospel According to NOBAMA: it’s a Bilderberger/Illuminati/ZOG plot to institute an Islamic Marxist empire in the US, by the use of HFCS and Fluoridation in water, the Fed, and selling govt bonds to China, and thus Baby Jesus can return and kill everyone that NOBAMA thinks is out to steal his money…
Well, everybody has to have something to believe in….
if i give him all the $$$ i have, will he immigrate to iran?
Poor, god fearing Dhoti… so bitter, so stupid, so determinedly loud about it…… feeling so neglected, when really all this is is the internet…
I didn’t reply to old gasbags? Sorry Pat…
I’m not one to advocate capital punishment, but in the case of child molesters, kill the bastards. Registered sex offender list isn’t good enough, that list should only be kept at the morgue.
-
Anyone who can harm a child that way doesn’t deserve to live.
To show how skewed the sentencing is:
-
A registered sex offender moved in down the street from my friend, we looked him up, the guy got out after less than 5 years for molesting an 8 year old boy.
-
Cultivating as few as 5 marijuana plants (personal use amount) will get you 6-10 years in my state.
Ya… That makes me bristle quiet a bit.
*headesk*
quite not quiet… Grrr typos.
I just thought you were quietly bristling.
You would like to think that…
Bristling noisily is overrated, imo.
*looks around and bristles quietly then*
Have you thought about quietly planting marijuana in his back yard in the middle of the night and then calling in a tip to the cops?
diss for the win!
Oh shit, that’s funny!
Mmm, best legally enlightened woman ever…
There speaks a pragmatist…
And the crowd goes wild! *mwah!*
This isn’t really my subject, but the priest abuse cases were not only not isolated, huge numbers of the catholic clergy were complicit in protecting offending priests from prosecution, and even went so far as to place these priests in positions that allowed them to re-offend. So, really, to hell with the catholic clergy, and my condolences to those catholic believers who have been wounded by the clergy.
What’s strange to me is that a Catholic priest will be defrocked instantly if he expresses interest in having a normal romantic relationship with another adult. However, let him ruin a child of a faithful, contributing family, and he’s protected like the Ark of the Covenant.
Makes me wonder how accurate South Park was…
Probably more accurate than any of us want to think about.
-
Here’s me not doing a Google search before I open my mouth, but hubby (who used to be a prison guard) said that he had heard that one of the first priests who had been caught and sent to jail after the scandal broke was discovered dead in prison less than three days after he was sent up. Apparently, the prisoners discovered who he was, and administered prison justice. Anyone heard the same?
I’ve heard similar stuff before, unverified of course, but the prison guards that I have met have related similar stories so either it is a vast conspiracy to scare child molesters or prisoners really hate people who hurt kids.
>_>
ALL HAIL THE GIANT SPIDER!
Prisons have a weird code of ethics. Cop killers are revered as gods, child molesters and rapists tend to have to be kept separate from the general population or guarded heavier to keep them from being raped and killed.
What about a cop killing, child rapist?
He’d probably be raped, but gently.
You don’t have to always rape them hard, sometimes that’s just not right to do. Sometimes you have to make some loooooove… F’king give em some smooches too…
Maybe being a cop killing child molester would get them a reach around? And perhaps allow them to keep their front teeth?
@Froo: I’ve heard only one thing different from you: while child molesters have a bad time in prison (a lot of prisoners have children or siblings back in the world) I have been told that rapists get an F’ing medal, because a large percentage of the prison population are violent misogynist swine who believe that any woman that doesn’t put out probably has it coming to her.
Other than that, I’ve heard the same as you.
here’s some food for thought:
Vatican ‘ordered abuse cover-up’
The Church has been hit by worldwide sex abuse scandals
A secret Vatican document, outlining procedures for handling allegations of sex abuse by priests, has been published in the US and UK. {http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3157555.stm}
and
Sex Crimes Cover-Up By Vatican?
Secret Document Told Bishops To Conceal Allegations Against Priests {http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/08/06/eveningnews/main566978.shtml}
Dhoti will simply claim that’s not what he’s asking, while stealing his empolyer’s bandwidth…
undoubtedly, but i thought others who’ve been following this might be interested in a few facts that support the position that the church not only knew about these pedophiles, but had gone so far as to establish a written guideline on how to protect them.
Who the heck is he waving at that high up?
One of two things:
1. He is waving to people outside the plane since it hasn’t taken off yet.
2. He is actually high up and thinks he sees an angel or God or an interpretation thereof.
or
3. He’s blessing the window.
4. He’s putting fingerprints on the window, just to piss off the cleaning staff.
or
5. There was a mosquito on the papal jet, and he’s just smashed it against the window.
(I like #4, btw…)
or
6. He’s talking to Dave: “Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.”
Umm…how high up is the tarmac? You can see vehicles out the window.
Nesting fail…that was for Jenny ^
The Steve: Ruining my explanations with logic…
Sorry, I keep trying to refrain from using logic and reason, but I just can’t help myself!
You’re forgiven, your Stevie-ness.
u guys are wicked gay
yay then we all get to sleep with each other
The funny thing is that you think that’s an insult.
I prefer not to be called wicked.
I’ll bring the Crisco and sex toys…
this is stupid
Holy cow! I made the front page! Thanks!
Kinda weird seeing your stuff up there, isn’t it?
Congrats.
Very weird!
This is a great site. I laugh my arse off reading everyones captions!
~Brian
I like how no one on here actually makes any sense with their arguments. It’s entertaining, but sad how stupid people can be. And, it’s also funny how a picture of the pope in an airplane with lots of leg room can get people so wound up.
Nobody? Not even you?
What’s everyone so wound up about?
I’m sure even the Pope has a sense of humor.
You can’t get wound up with all that space to stretch
wondering, who gets to sit next to him.
Jesus is his co-pilot.
BWAHAHA!
I wonder if he wears a “Jesus is my Homeboy” t-shirt underneath the robe?
This would be a cool looking plane room if not for the missing set of seats on the other wall and the Pope.
What I want to know is:
how is he going to reach the in-flight magazine on the wall over there?
Like any good Sith Lord he’ll use the Force
Muhahahahaha!
Good one!
That’s a surprise. I didn’t know that Imperial Shuttles came fitted with windows
