CHANGE OF TOPIC: Heard today

CHANGE OF TOPIC: Heard today that the Catholic church is going to funnel $2 million into Maine to get rid of same sex marriage.....anyone heard else heard that?

K I T's picture

would not surprise me $2

would not surprise me

$2 million
wonder how many hungry people you can feed with it
or how much meds you can get to the once who not got them
or how many shelters or houses you can build for the homeless with it
or how many schools you can start with it
etc.

i guess God / Jesus had different priorities then the church and the Vatican etc. do?
maybe they should ....

Or for the poor children

Or for the poor children whose childhood's were taken from them by pedophobic priests....

Hi Tex , good to see

Hi Tex , good to see you!

there good and there bad once as with any in life
unfortunately we can and will find pedo's any and everywhere

but from priest we expect to first of all not do stuff like that and second tell the truth/confess and admit etc. and unfortunately some of them expect others to do so but it don't apply to them.
the church and Vatican should not cover for them and hide things up, for how can they ask of anyone to do something they can nor will not be able to do them selfs?

again i do not blame all some of them are indeed good helpful and lifesaving

I remember that one, but don't recall watching it. Now, HR Pufnstuff with Witchiepoo- that's the shit. What a great name for a character. They also produced "Land of the Lost", which I loved and why I won't see the movie.

It was the beginning of montreal jazz festival yesterday, i'v seen Stevie Wonder for free outside, it was so crowdy i could barely breathe. A guy said that in 30 years of Jazz festival, he never saw that much peoples. It was with all the sweat and the rain, to move in the crowd was a slugish experience. Yak, i have to take another shower

Steph, off-topic, are you

Steph, off-topic, are you BritChix as pissed about all the sexism on Centre Court as we are here? It appears they're only putting 'babes' on the premier court, regardless of ranking. Even Serena got bumped to an outer court. WTF?

You know, I was thinking to myself the other day, why is Serena playing on some random outer court? I hadn't really thought about the babes only aspect on Centre Court but thinking about it, I think you have a point!

Anyway, it's the big UK/US battle tomorrow - Murray v Roddick! It should be a fantastic game! I live about 4 miles from the AELTC and if Murray wins I'll probably be able to hear the cheering from my flat!

That sucks! We need a protest banner: Wimbelton Pimps Hotties

If you really want to make a difference, get a list of the sponsors and advertisers. Write to them and say that if they continue to support this insult to women, you will boycott their products.

Can you believe that everyone associated with the event is being so open about it. As if they don't even think its a problem. Disgusting.
