Of course it was insensitive and in poor taste! That's the whole point of a post-mortem joke.

I hope that satisfies your criteria for capitulation, as I have no remorse in executing what I set out to from the very beginning -- an admittedly insensitive post about the pope's death which was in poor taste.

Clear? (Please say yes because I have another one.) :D

~Ulrika~


Forget it, Ulrika, everything I said was lost upon you. It is not about capitulation, it is about you having a fucking ounce of tact and dignity, instead of just always having to be provocative. Carry on, you always do, everyone else be damned.

Cristiano dead. Ulrika declared victorious. ;)

(Admit it. That was funny.) :D

Why "enemy"?

I'm asking a very unbiased question here and hope for an intelligent factual answer.


What was Ms. O'Conner's beef with the Pope?.. or Christinaity for that matter.
I never understood what happened on SNL to make her do that.

Ok now to restate... what I'm trying to avoid are people who agree or disagree with Ms. O'Conner coming at me with some attack. I REALLY DON'T KNOW AND AM ASKING.

I think it was a statement about how the Catholic Church wasn't doing more about child molesting priests. I also recall Frank Sinatra making a veiled threat to her, something about how she had better stay out of New Jersey.

I think maybe it's the age old 'religion as the root of evil' beef, after all, Catholicism (for example) has a track record of leaving starving children in countrys like the Phillippines, decades of terrorism in Ireland, and if you believe famous religious tract artist Jack Chick, Catholics are actually worshippers of Satan himself!!!!!

It doesnt really bother me one way or the other, but the timing is terrible. I think people are still grieving, I mean the man is not even buried yet. If you posted this a week from now you would have achieved the post mortem humor you tried to explain earlier, but you would not have gotten the reaction you were seeking. This is an insensitive post whether you want to believe it or not.

*edit. I reread and see that you know it was insensitive, my apologies.

The thing that makes me respect the Pope is that he was anti-war, especially anti 'war for no damn good reason', I also think he was a foolish old-fashioned greedy deluded pawn of a corrupt organisation that should be made to be accountable for it's horrible crimes, like allowing child-molesting priests to be shuffled around rather than changing the anti-common sence laws that created the environment that allowed a secret culture of sexually repressed priests to thrive. That's my opinion.

Unfortunately, I am unaffected by shame which is used as a tool for social and religious conformity.



Unfortunate for whom?

Granted, undue shame has been inflicted by authoritarian forces to impose undue conformity. But the ability to occasionally feel embarrassed by one's own actions is a vital asset in the search for maturity.

In fact, I'd go so far as to call it an irreplaceable asset.

:( Sad but very true. I hope our next Pope is more reformist.

Wonder what Chick would think of Second Life?
Looks like Dungeons and Dragons was a no no...

I love Sinead O'Conner music. I was listening to her latest CD again just yesterday.

I am ambivalent with regards to the Pope.

Sinead, while having perhaps too large of a mouth to fit into the corporate music scene, is a wonderfully talented artist. I have three of her CDs and they are all fantastic. I also saw her perform at Lilith Fair and she was by far the best of the bunch.

As far as the Pope goes, he was the "Spititual" (figurehead) Leader of a very corrupt religion. He probably did some very nice things in his life, and I'm sure he did many awful ones. Many lives were horribly altered and scarred during his watch. And if you tell me he had no idea that catholic Priest child-molesters were being shuffled from church to church, and district to district, and were being kept secret and covered up, I will just have to laugh in your face.

It's not oddly shaped, but I couldn't pass up that cute picture.

Sure Kendra - you can reduce anything to politics, but not everything can be elevated to politics.
