Very interesting indeed.
Maybe men are not from Mars after all. Seriously though, it is fascinating all this space theory. |

Tone down freedom of speech? Do you realize how scary that sounds? Where do you draw the line THERE?..... Anyway, it would never be toned down enough for radicals. They have a zero tolerance policy for insulting Mohammad or whoever they worship.... At least if you're going to quote me then quote me fully. I did say freedom of speech should not be used as an excuse to insult people' now it don't sound so scary does it. |

Basically he said free speech has gone to far and that if you insult religions then expect violence. Quote People should refrain from insulting religion for the same reason, the Pope explained. "People who speak badly about religions or other religions, who make fun of them, who make a game out of the religions of others," the Pope said, "are provocateurs." And if they go past the "limit" of acceptable speech, violent retaliation is to be expected. "What happens to them is what would happen to Dr. Gasparri if he says a curse word against my mother. There is a limit." When taken out of context, perhaps...Truth is, I like this Pope...He is a great communicator and down to earth...To put his words into better perspective, this was also said... "His pretend punch aside, Francis by no means said the violent attack on Charlie Hebdo was justified. Quite the opposite: He said such horrific violence in God's name couldn't be justified and was an "aberration." But he said a reaction of some sort was to be expected." and this... "He said Francis' words were "spoken colloquially and in a friendly, intimate manner among colleagues and friends on the journey." He noted that Francis has spoken out clearly against the Paris attacks and that violence in God's name can never be justified." Yes what happened in Paris was shocking and no insults deserve that. I do believe though that you can't just go around insulting religions. Having said that, violence is not the answer. That's the point. You CAN just go around insulting religions. It's called freedom of speech. As a Catholic, my religion is insulted way more than the Muslim religion. I....do not want to kill anyone for it. Everyone has a right to their own opinion..... In the UK we had a Muslim who used to preach hate outside a mosque in London and we stopped him. Therefore we took away his freedom of speech, so where do you draw the line. (the same guy 'hookhand' he was known as here is now in prison in the USA) The line is drawn at threats of bodily harm or murder. I'm sure he's in prison for more reasons than just "hate speech". Radical Muslims don't stop at hate speech... Yes he is, if I remember correctly I think it was conspiracy to commit terrorist acts or something like that. I love being British and I love my freedom of speech but I just think it needs to be toned down a little and not used as en excuse to insult people. Then again, theses lunatics will just find some other excuse to want to kill us. |

I have been a Catholic my whole life. Not sure how I feel about this pope? He's too liberal for me, I think? I like him up to now but I can see where you're coming from. I do believe he has a point though. |

You bet he should have been there.
Whether the USA likes it or not, a lot of Countries look to them for guidance and for me it was almost like Obama wasn't interested. Let's face it, he is the leader of the biggest super power in the world and if anyone should have been there putting two fingers up to these animals then he should have been. By the way, this is not a rant at the USA, just Obama himself, shame on you. |

Yes Dodo_David, I've got a 9 inch wide net-book that's about 6 years old. It may very well be craptacular! Hi Sheik, please don't take this as an insult to your religion because it's not at all. But what gets me after something like the happenings in Paris is that very few of Islams top people actually say anything about it, unless I've missed something of course. But I have watched the news for the last few days and there's hardly been anything said from your Scholars. Maybe they are scared but someone in Islam needs to recognize the terrible truth of what these people are doing, ie, turning non Muslims against Muslims. I really couldn't care less what religion someone is but Islam scares me, and I mean this with respect. |

Strange to say the least.
I'm actually sorry I watched that because it's a little scary. I don't know enough about Bipolar so can't comment there, but the lady looked scared of something. If I was forced to give an opinion I would say murder that is being covered up for some reason. |

I'm guessing this rule was invented in the Christian era. Men must've really suffered back then. The pagan era was much more fun and interesting. The Pagans used to do things with candles you know, that's why we have candles on Birthday cakes. |
