BBC Newsnight investigates the evil of the Catholic Church

Drachen_Jager says...

>> ^Bloocut:

If you are going to nuke the Vatican, perhaps a three-fold surgical strike-
Seat(s) of Catholicism, Islam
Seat(s) of economic control (forget low-yeild nukes, use tomahawks, exocets, whatever you got)
Seat(s) of Major media (to do this will take some satellite gremlins)


Don't forget the Jews, what they're doing to the Palestinians is imo worse than the child molestation of the Catholic Church.

Oh and don't forget all the spinoff Christians. Take out the governments of Myanmar, China and North Korea too. Wipe out the "leadership" of the GOP and the Tea Party.

That would deal with many of the world's problems.

BBC Newsnight investigates the evil of the Catholic Church

And I can't believe this is a Catholic exclusive problem. Or is it? You don't hear much about abuse from other religious social workers (whatever you call them.. priests, rabbis, vicars). Why's that?


Well, humans have not evolved to be celibate creatures. The Catholic Church, and most other major religions for that matter, are profoundly messed up in this matter. They regard sex as something to be tolerated for the purposes of procreation. A necessary evil. I don't know how or why they arrived at this ridiculous position, but at least most other religions allow their ministers to marry.

If you go looking for a group of people who are willing subjugate their normal human desires, it's not hard to believe that you will find some deeply disturbed psyches in that group. Apply it to a large enough group (over 400,000 priests according to wikipedia) and you're bound to find some individuals who will cross the line.

BBC Newsnight Heated Debate Over "Climategate"

This reminds me of Ann Coulter's "Canada sent troop to vietnam" type thing, where the canadian reporter said, " no we didn't sent throops". She then replied, "No, I'm sure, they did".

...and they did.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_Canada_send_troops_to_Vietnam
Quite a few in fact, it sounds.
Canada awarded medals to 1,550 of these troops for their service between August 7, 1954 and January 28, 1973.


Did you even read past the title?

The "wikianswer" you've linked to says the Canadian "troops" (sic) were "part of the International Control Commission for Vietnam, a neutral body meant to oversee and report on the peace deal that ended the first indochina war (French vs. Vietminh" (sic) So, if we are to take this grammatically-challenged anonymous article at it's word, there are 2 major problems with it.

1) The International Control Commission is an international body, not Canadian.
2) They were sent as peacekeepers, not military "troops".

Be more critical of what you read.

BBC Newsnight Heated Debate Over "Climategate"

This is what i hate about the USA media and politics, and they're doing this on this BBC show as well. EVERYTHING, i mean EVERYTHING becomes into a two way debate, everything is open to debate. I mean they could just as well have people up there arguing that 2+2 is 4 vs someone who says it's 5. I hate the state of the USA where everybody gets a voice, even if they're making retarded claims. And there's no doubt, someone (who is wrong) will be able to deny something, while make a random allegation and leave the viewer thinking this topic is open to debate.
This reminds me of Ann Coulter's "Canada sent troop to vietnam" type thing, where the canadian reporter said, " no we didn't sent throops". She then replied, "No, I'm sure, they did". I mean, what do you do when truth can be denied point blank.
I hate this, I wish the USA went back to its basics, one nation under god. A fear of god when you talk, not making random shit up just so you get your policy. I HATE how truth has become a casualty.


Unfortunately, the socialists here have declared God as non-existant. So, any expression of belief is treated with ridicule and worse. And, "everything" is only open to debate if you agree with the socialist doctrine. Otherwise, again, you are ridiculed and marked as racist/politcally incorrect/wacko/tea-bagger/birther...the list goes on. Those witha third opinion get no respect/attention at all, as the last "election" clearly demonstrated.

BTW, did canada send troops to vietnam? Where was the casualty, truth or credibility?

Brzezinski and Kissinger on regime change in Iran

Farhad2000 says...

Here's the original Sith Lord of Geopolitics, Henry Kissinger on the situation in Iran and America's response so far.



Talking on BBC Newsnight Kissinger says that while the US will not intervene in the current crisis, if the coup fails and a "popularly based" government is not installed (ie. the one he wants), then "we may conclude that we must work for regime change in Iran from the outside".

So now the Brits are a nation of criminals too (British Talk Post)
