God knows I really don't know much about the man, and everyone around here is aware of the fieldday that the media is having with his condition now that Schaivo is gone...


...but that still does not excuse the absolutely wretched disrespect you people are giving this guy. I am not a religious man, and I cannot even begin to understand what that man has or hasn't done in his life. That said, whether it was the Pope, as it is, or some crack whore from Jersey, I would either show them some respect or STFU. All disrespect shows is that we are perpetuating humanities shortcomings, defaulting to pestulance and mockery, riding the coattails of our idiotic media to no conclusive end.


Either say something good or STFU...stop being a fvking disgrace to humanity:|

while I am usually in favor of kicking people while they are down, I am going to have to agree with you. This man, regardless of his religion, has done nothing but to try to bring peace and goodwill to every corner of the Earth.

He has earned our respect. All of you flamebait assholes making these threads, what have you done to earn such respect? Nothing? OK then. Find something more worthwhile to post about.

Give me a break. For all the sh1t the atheists and non-religious people talk here, you have no right as one of them to tell anyone to stfu when it comes to religion.

Goosemaster, I'm not a religious person either, but I personally feel there is a lot more important things going on in the world that needs peoples attention much more than Schaivo & the Pope. They are but two human beings; what about the people who are dying in "The War on Terror,' the thousands of victims of the 2 recent tsunamis, etc.

I'm not a religious person, as is the OP, but religion has it's place in our society, that being said try your best to treat others as you wish to be treated. Given that he is the pope, I could care less, but given the fact that the media (both right-and-left winged portions of it) are televising the hell outta this, give the man some respect in his last hours(days maybe?)

You have no idea how wrong you are.
5 years ago? Yes.
Now? No.

If you ever meet me you'd know.

[edit]
But i do like rage against the machine though! Tom Morello knows his feedback.

Has he ever spoken out against pedophilia? Has he ever ordered a worldwide investigation of the Catholic Church's policy of hiding, moving and protecting its molesting priests?

No, he hasn't.

rudeguy and I don't agree! :Q

Yes, the Pope has done many Noble things for people of this planet, but he has also not taken action in numerous scandals against children IMO. It's not the best comparison, but I view the Pope the same way I would view a CEO or General, he/she should take all responsibility for those under him, just my 2¢ :)

I haven't said anything one way or another about the guy, but if you want to pick one thing for ATOT to tiptoe around, this would be one of the last to cross my mind.

That being said, I don't really care about the situation.

its just a reflecton of the level of maturity and trolls when it comes to some of the users here. im not religious so im not personally offended, but it takes a small person to disrespect someone on their death bed.

No, I think that's pretty clear. You are the kid that didn't even know anything about Rwanda but tried to pretend that he did know something.

It's pretty clear that you're a child and hopefully you are not a good representation of the Danish people, but that's probably hoping for too much.

I'm not a troll, nor is my maturity level sub-par shimsham, but just because a person is on his/her deathbed, doesn't not mean that they are allowed to escape criticism IMO :)

I thought the church did apoligize for that? I dont know for sure since I am not catholic and I really didnt follow the story much.

I really hate what those priests did. And if the pope did know about it, then he should have done something about it. But still, the guy is dying. Why should we talk bad about him now? I didnt see a thousand posts about him before. But now that he is dying he is fair game?

Thats just wrong. Grow some balls and pick on someone who can defend themselves.
