He's the Pope, so that's what you call him. Or maybe His Popeness, or Poper, or El Poperino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Remember, if you screw it up the Emperor (er, the Pope) is less forgiving than even Darth Vader.

1) Assume stance of dominance.

2) Point at him with index finger.

3) "Popester...that's my last beer damnit."

Hey CKent, check your preconceived notions about Africa, AIDS, condoms at the door and hit up the following link:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/27/AR2009032702825.html

Feel free to google around for news articles about what the Harvard Prof said regarding the Pope's comments on condoms exacerbating the HIV/AIDS situation in Africa - that link I just gave was just the first thing that came up in the search and it's an op-ed piece (although it is apparently written by another Harvard prof).

So... I guess if you're such a staunch advocate for condoms in Africa... that makes you... a murderer by your own logic? I'm just kidding of course, but seriously, the anger is a bit misplaced.

Cheers. /goes back to lurking

In person: "Nice prom dress! LOVE all the white lace and gold embroidery! Blood red certainly is your color and makes you look hundreds of years younger and hides all those pesky blood stains from the Inquisition!

I don't direct peoples' behavior by pretending to be closer than them to an imaginary, onmiscient, omnipotent being. So even if I told people to go kill themselves, I wouldn't be a murderer.

Condoms do help prevent the spread of AIDS and other STDs, this is fact. If circumstance is preventing this in Africa, perhaps the approach needs to be altered... but I'd wager it's more the conflicting messages between reason and religion.

Have you considered the fact that you dress gay might have some bearing on why there are so many child molesting gay priests?

I mean really. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see someone who dresses like this?
