The Pope

WhiteWine

the pope is dying, and you boards ppl tolerate sigs like this http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=239372

I am too disgusted to figure out how to post a link but its the_edges

as a man dies you tolerate photoshopage pics of him fondling a naked womans chest, to laugh at and degrade a dying man and his beliefs,

disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Asok

Could have been worse/better

Repli

I call for a 'Pope' forum

Winters

Tbh, I'd say he's had that one for longer then you have even been here. I assume you are some sort of 'religious' person. If it was any random person, or even say Michael Jackson going for some kids you probably wouldn't have a problem with it.


PS .. Welcome to the introw3b

Look WhiteWine, I had €40 on him shuffling off the mortal coil on April1st, and then the fúcker has to go and last a bit longer.

I don't see The Vatican putting him on life-support, isn't this just another form of euthanasia?

Winters

Are they allowed to remove his feeding tube or did Bush try and ban that too?

Asok

I think regi would make a good pope.

Winters, I reckon we'll see a fairly quick about-face on that whole mercy-killing issue pretty soon.
That'll teach the bastards for spreading false information about contraceptives and their advantages in combating AIDS and other STIs.

Karma.

Kevin_rc_ie

shameful behaviour boys regardless of your religion or lack of.

Winters

Well, according to the US Government you can cure your son/daughter of gay by "seeing a family therapist"... Y!

Maybe soon we will abstinence and refrain from the transfer of any bodily fluids between humans, similar to the movie "Demolition Man".

DonkeyStyle \o/

Yeah that sig is a bit insensitive in fairness.

po0k

It's free expression, and I think it's rather funny.

Hadn't noticed it before this thread.

Thanks WhiteWine.

Kevin - what if we don't adhere to a religion?
Hypothetically, what if Winters and I abhor organised religions for the suffering and loss of life they have been responsible for over the centuries?
Are we not allowed to voice our opinions as you are yours?

And the 2^6 million dollar question: won't Baby Jeebus™ forgive us our tresspasses in the end regardless?

The irony of that post should become apparent to you any second now WhiteWine.

Pfff, I don't like the brits so I'm off to make a few animated gifs of princess diana flying through a windscreen then dancing the macarena while midgets jizz all over her. :rolleyes:
Even if you don't believe in anything religious, he's still a person and deserves some dignity don't you think?
I'm not hugely religious myself, but I've enough cop-on not to offend people who hold the pope dearly, just for a cheap chuckle.
There are plenty of things around here that are not allowed because they might offend people, what makes this any different?

well if you want to be pedantic that sentence should have read:

"sloth and ignorance are an excuse for incorrect spelling"

As long as you pay for the redistribution license and royalties for each hit, yeah, sure.

It will help pay for the funeral.

Because as Winters already pointed out, the_edge has had that sig for a while, and it is only in the light of current events that it has been raised as being offensive.
I have a Star of David, a robotic leader, and a cartoon character in my sig.

No. Slag the Jews week is the week after Judgement day, when we can run aound shouting "we told you so".

Standard Toaster

Just noticed this fine thread.
To the OP...I have this sig for a while now. Long before the pope decided to pull a sickie. I thought it was bad enough for someone to actually take the time to PM me and call me a "tool" (Yes Kevin_rc_ie) but for a thread to be started about it....Jesus H.
I removed the sig but after seeing this thread it's back.

How will you sleep at night?

Yeah, cool, and then say..am...I dunno...Hindus the week after that?


ffs dude, you can't plan spontaneity

And Donkey: funny - yes, offensive - not to people with a sense of humour and a realistic perspective on life.
Personally, I find the Vatican's position on homosexuality, celibacy, female clergy and disinformation regarding contraceptives and their advantages in helping to prevent the spread of AIDS and STIs in 3rd world countries to be more offensive than the sig in question.

So, concisely, and for the people in the cheap seats at the back I have this to say:
[strike]Fúck[/strike] Flip off out of it ye shower of muppets.

Kevin_rc_ie

disinformation regarding contraceptives

The archbishop of Nairobi, Raphael Ndingi Nzeki recently said that "Aids... has grown so fast because of the availability of condoms."

They tell people that condoms are useless against the spread of HIV because of tiny holes in the condoms.

Well, yes, yes I think it is.
Seeing as a Google Search for "Vatican AIDS Contraceptives" gives quite a few links to similar articles and reports from fairly well known news sites.

Kevin_rc_ie

to be honest, i've not read fully those links but appears that the Vatican has not denied that condoms used correctly will stop transmission of the virus thru semen but they are maintaining the attitude that abstinence is the only way to be certain you don't get the disease.

remember that condoms are not freely available in large parts of africa. this is not the vatican's fault. and remember the low education standards of a lot of sub-saharn africa. listen mate, if you knew a potential sexual partner had aids would u still have intercourse and use a condom. that's the way you have to look at it. if you continually have intercourse with infected partners you will get this disease if you're living in african conditions.

exactly. a bit of research never did anyone any harm.

Besides its not as if the church's opposition to contraceptives is some big secret. :rolleyes:
And not only do they disapprove of the use of condoms but, as has been pointed out, they openly discourage and misinform people on the consequences of using them.

The Pope is the front-line if an institution of bigotry and hypocrisy and people are entitled to their opinion on the matter....and if they choose to express that opinion through humour then so be it. Who are you to say otherwise?

whats your damn point then

Kevin_rc_ie

well certainly according to your logic i can say what i want.

secondly, i think my above point is valid and i'll stick by it regardless of what links you post. i think a lot of you ppl are talking tru ur ar'se about conspiracy theories to kill ppl on the RC behalf.

You cannot defeat the fact if you do not want to contract HIV you should not have sex with infected people. How is this disinformation or lies?

Kevin_rc_ie wrote:

do you abstain from sex or do you use condoms?

Kevin_rc_ie wrote:

what if you don't know for sure if a person has it, and yet you are aware that you are living in a country where the disease is rampant. should you not be allowed to protect yourself against the possibility of contracting the virus??

Kevin_rc_ie wrote:

same is to be said if you are living in a first world country....what happens if you are continually sleeping with an infected partner without knowing, and you're not using a condom? what would the response of the majority of society be if you contract the virus? you would be seen as an idiot for not protecting yourself.
