Don't insult the Pope

[akarunway 1]

Jesus H. Christ. Or the Prez. 5 yrs. in the pen. Don't think I'll be traveling to Italy anytime soon. They sure as hell wouldn't like my sense of humor. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4732048.ece

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

What he said.

To me, the ability to criminally prosecute alleged slander, especially alleged state slander, is irreconcilably, even violently, inconsistent with the existence of a democratic republic.

Sadly, slander, even slander against the state, is criminally prosecutable, and/or enjoinable (i.e., it can be prohibited in advance), in many so-called Western democracies other than the US. The US has its own term for what other countries call "criminal slander": "constitutionally-protected speech."

Am I the only one who didn't get past this part of the article?

...before moving on to some unrepeatable jokes about Mara Carfagna, the Equal Opportunities Minister and one-time topless model.

Please don't dent the planet.

I got past it OK.

I did pause to do a google image search though.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

[airdvr 210]

Ya mean like this one? I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find any pictures of the topless model tiddies.

Ingrate heathens. Where is your respect people.

The Pope is Jesus' ambassador to this world.

This is how you show respect to the Pope. Learn from it.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

The Pope's not even Italian !

What could anyone possibly have to say about a Pope who manned an anti aircraft battery as a teenage Flakhilfer during the war ? He was only protecting all that slave labor from the Dachau camp across the street from Allied bombs.....

Sheeezzzz, some people.....
